ULTIMATUM IN EFFECT.
Spain Told what the United States
Intends to Do.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2O.-The
state department has cabled to the
American peace commissioners in Paris
an explicit statement amounting to an
ultimatum, which they are directed to
present to the Spaniards at their first
meeting this week. This will declare:
First, that the United States will not
listen to any argument whatever as to
the Interpretation of the protocol.
Secondly, 1t will be said, without
equivocation, that the United States
proposes to retain for itself every acre
of ground in the Philippine islands
without exception.
Thirdly, as the Spaniards have de-
clined to submit any showing as to the
amount of the Philippine debt expend-
ed for the benefit of the islands alone,
the United States will offer lump sum
not varying much from 500, ,OO0, 900.
This will not be iteniized so that the
Spaniards will be forced to accept or
decline it, without argument as to the
amount.
Finally, the American commissioners
have been instructed to demand a cat
egorical answer some day next week
the exact time to be determined by the
facility of communication between
Paris and Madrid
The United States makes no threats,
and hence the document is not techni-
cally an utimatum, but the Spanish
commissioners can easily read between
the lines and see that it is the purpose
Of the president either to secure a
treaty or to terminate the negotiations
before the meeting Of congress, Dec 5.
The president and Secretary Hay
were-to put it mildly-dsgusted with
the diplomatic makeshifts of the Span
ish commissioners, who seemed to be
entirely unable to appreciate the fact
that they occupy, in effect, the position
of a conquered nation pleading for
mercy.
They have spent so much time en-
deavoring to distort the plain meaning
of the protocol, which was intended
entirely as condition precedent to ne
gotiations, that the president has lost
patience, and now proposes to submit
to the Spaniards proposition on be-
half of the United States which will be
so distinct as to prevent hair-splitting.
The note is the most decisive one yet
submitted, and it is believed that it will
produce a crisis about the middle or
the week There has been strong de-
sire to have the treaty of peace come
before Thanksgiving day, and 1T is still
the hope of the administration that the
Spaniards may be forced to give their
answer by Wednesday.
There is still a strong belief that they
will surrender unconditionally and it
is assumed that all the American COM
missioners now have to do is to put an
end to argument and insist on a def
mite reply; for it is pretty generally un-
derstood that when the Spaniards are
forced into a corner they will at once
submit TO the inevitable.
