to reject or accept the American offers.
The Spaniards no less than the Amer
leans. now are anxious to conclude The
business which brought them here.
The Temps says. From the outset
the Americans have negotiated on the
principle OF take IL or leave II. and
have covered their claims by a sort "
sanctity." The Temps asks "If The
triumph. to call II so. Is complete. may
IL not contain grave elements OF dan
ger and anxiety to the Americans? The
transatlantic democracy has become
imperialist and a republic founded on
federalism and autonomy has become
q conquering one. From an Internal
tional point of view this means a re-
p~udiation Of the Monroe doctrine and
the entrance of America into the con-
ficts and intrigues OF the great powers.
and her ~harshness to Spain Ii the cause
OF much anxiety as TO her relations
with other powers"
The Temps also expresses the opin-
ion that Spain has purchased peace
with the United States at the expense
Of International turmoil
The Journal des Debats says: THE
Americana. having started out to lib
crate Cubs. have ended with pocketing
what remained of SPANS colonies. This
moral evolution Of the Americans is
edifying. as a good example of the
manner in which one can. almost

tion of the most outrageous demands
by q confusion Of ambition and duty
at once by considering an interest to
be a divine right. Now that America
has entered the arena of international
politics. she may have some lively sur
prises in store even for those who have
been so ready to offer their friendship"
As the result Of the work OF Mr..
Moore I'M Senior Ojeda. the drift OF
the articles embodying the protocol
agreements was completed this even
ing. 1t will be presented to the two
commissions tomorrow In the morning
al their separate sessions and In the
afternoon at the joint session. when IL
will receive final consideration. There
will be little delay on these articles.
Mr.. Moore will also submit tomorrow
to the United States commissioners the
subjects to be presented to the Span
fards for negotiation. These. for con-
venience and greater dispatch. are be-
ing drafted into the form OF articles.
The release OF the insurgent prison
ers held by Spain will go into the pro-
tocol agreements. II having been al
ready agreed that Spain Is to release
them upon the United States under
taking TO secure the release OF the
Spanish prisoners In the hands of
Aguinaldo. This question is so inti-
mately related to the peace treaty that
Il has been removed from the subjects
that are matters Of negotiation and
has been embodied in the articles con-
tanning the protocol agreements.
