A Counter Proposition.

Washington. Nov. BY way of
preparation what may happen at the
meeting of the az commissioners In
Paris tomorrow II may be said that
the officials here have no idea that the
Spanish reply will be unconditional ac-
c~eptance of our last proposition relat-
ing to the acquisition of the Philip
pines. On the other hand they do not
expect an unequivocal rejection. What
is likely to occur Is that the spanish
commissioners will come in with a
counter proposition. the basis Of which
will be a considerable increase In the
sum OF money to be paid to the Span
ish government for the Philippines.
This will open the way to negotiations
on the subject, and inasmuch as the
commissioners spent about six weeks
considering the sections Of the protocol
dealing with Cuba and Porto Rico. II Is
reasonable to believe that at least a
few days may be properly allowed for
the discussion OF the Philippines. In
short. II may be said that the ofhcials
here do not expect a final breach or
relations between the commissioners 10
occur tomorrow. Notwithstanding the
comments of u%nfriendly European
