insisting and in the presence of it's yery
firm attitude, the Americans have taken
more conciliatory attitude; not that
they entertain the intention of Welding
to Spain's injunctions, but they consent
TO argue against the Spanish position.
These arguments may be briefly sum-
med up as follows: F.. .a"...
"The Americans insist upon the fact
that the money raised by the Cuban
loans was not applied to the require
ments or interests Of the island. but was
chiefly borrowed to the end of inprov-
ing the financial conditions of Spain,
and to procure funds which she could no
longer raise in the peninsula, and that
the debt, therefore, is personal to Spain.
ION the other hand. the Americans
say that America has no intention Of
annexlng Cuba and could not therefore
assume such obligations.
Finally, it is held that, owing to the
fabulous cost of the late war, the Amer
lean people would not concede the right
to thus assume such obligations"

LONDON, Oct. ia dispatch to a
London news agency from Paris says:
The peace conference reached a crisis
for time on Monday. Judge Day pre-
sented the demands of the American
commission in strong words. He said
that delay was the only. possible object
attainable by the persistent efforts of the
Spanish commissioners to saddle the
United States with the Cuban debt and
would be tolerated no longer, as the
United States would neither assume nor
guarantee any part of the debt.
The Spaniards replied that this placed
Spain in a position of repudiating or of
reducing the face value of the Cuban
bonds, paying only
Half the Stipulated Interest
on the reduced value. Before they
would adopt either alternative they
would surrender to the United States
the entire Philippines.
Judge Day responded that the surren-
der of the Philippines would probably
be demanded irrespective of the Cuban
or any other debt.
This, to the Spaniards, the first init
nation of the intentions of the United
States as to the Philippines, resulted in
a whispered conference, followed by a
request for an adjournment in order to
communicate with Madrid

Mark the Extreme Limit of Span
ish Resistance to the In
., eyitable,
And That They Will Gradually
Retire From the Attack ON
Our Position.
Pnrpose Believed to Be to In
fluence the Government at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-It is hoped,
though hardly expected, by the officials
here, that Mondays proceedings before
the peace commission at Paris marked
the high tide of Spanish opposition and
that from now on the Spanish commits
toner's will retire gradually from their
extreme position. It is recognized that
their attack upon the American position
was marked by the greatest cleverness
and adroitness. The opinion prevails
that the anirating purpose OF the Span
iards is to work upon the sympathies OF
other European nations while appealing
to the interests not only of the holders
of Cuban bonds but also to the holders
of purely Spanish securities which would
be affected by sympathy. The Spanish
argument, directed to showing that the
United States Must Assume Sovereignty
else the island will be left without legal
status, is interpreted as being a distinct
bid for the intervention of the foreign
bondholders. The latter, according to
the Spanish hope, might be expected to
call upon their own governments to aid
the Spanish cause by protesting to the
United States against the destruction of
the large values represented by the Gu
ban bonds owned by their own citizens.
Considerations based upon equities like
those have, at times, had great weight
with international tribunals, but back
of it all is apparent, in the eyes Of Of
ficials here, a purpose to influence, notso
much the American peace commission
ers as the government at Washington
directly.
No Question as to Municipal Bonds.
There never has been any question
here as to the status of municipal and
other local obligations based upon Cuban
assets. AS the proceeds of bonds issued
by the municipalities have presumably
gone to benefit the localities. it has
never been con+snded here for an instant
that these obligations should be repu-
dated. Whatever may be the outcome
of the negotiations at Paris relative to
the general debt of Cuba, the bonds of
CHe municipalities anu SUCH seCuIlCleS
will retain their validity.
The proposition alleged to have made
Monday by the Spanish commissioners
to surrender to the United States the
entire Philippine group rather than that
Spain should be held responsible for the
Cuban debt did not take the officials
here by surprise.
that the negotiations in Paris have
reached what probably will be the most
critical point to be passed over until the
commission is face to face with the
question as to what disposition shall be
made of the Philippine islands. there is
an abiding confidence that the Spanish
commissioners will not oblige the Amer
leans to resort to extreme measures and
that the negotiations will proceed with
greater expedition from this point.

PARIS, Oct. 19.-The Gaulois reviews
Mondays session of the joint peace COM
missions and, referring to the delay
caused by the difference in the language
spoken by the commissioners, adds:
"But, according to the Spaniards, the
main cause of the difficulty encountered
in the negotiations is the lack of concil-
iation in the attitude of the American
commission. It is known in regard to
Porto Rico and Cuba that the articles of
the prococol are absolutely positive
Spain comedies Porto Rico to the United
States and relinquishes and abandons
sovereignty over Cuba. These two points
are definitely settled and are not open to
discussion. Besides, the Spaniards make
it point Of honor to scrupulously abide
by their engagements towards their con-
querers.
''The question of the Cuban debt re-
mains. Upon which power should the
onerous obligation of guaranteeing the
debt rest? Here is where the two com

neither is inclined to yield. The Span
agree on the following lines:
"When power annexes territory, it
is implied that it assumes all the obliga-
tions previously of such territory. It is
international law, sanctioned by usage
and which has always been complied
with. Thus, when France annexed Sa-
voy, she assumed all the debts contract
ed by the latter while still an Italian
province.
Lastly they remind their opponents
that Cuba is virtually the key of the
Gulf of Mexico, strategic position of
the first order to the United States and
an immense advantage, which calls fol
some sacrifice upon the part of the
Americans.

To this the latter replied at first, that

"Today destiny has written the last
page of Spanish dominion in Porto Rico
and the prologue to the entrance of the
noble American republic, whose flag is
a sign of new era. We hope to see
another star symbolic of our prosperity
and our membership Of the great repub-

and free, hoping hand in hand with the
greatest of all republics to advance in
