OUTRAGE OF DIPLOMATIC FORM

Paris, November 10.-The newspapers of this city, after yesterdays meeting of the peace commissioners, seemed to have gath cred from some source or other the im- pression that the Spanish commissioners have cause for complain against the Amer jeans. because the latter presented their re- and without Spanish translation of the document There is no basis for complaint on the subject.
 The president of the Spanish commission, Senor Montero Rios, and Judge Day, the president of the American commission. agreed that owing to the length of the doc ument all might be spared the reading of the matter, which is usually translated in writing into Spanish for the benefit of Senor Montero Rios and the two members of the Spanish commission who do not understand English. Each side up to the present has made it's own written translations, but the Americans alone have supplied an interpre- ter The American interpreter is Arthur Ferguson, and the Spaniards have mar veled at the facility with which he did his work. They have never once checked him or corrected him in the slightest degree.
 In view of the facts in the case, some of the references of the Paris newspapers this morning are interesting. Comments of French Press
 Regarding yesterdays meeting. the Fi- garo says; '"The American commission con- tented themselves with producing a long memorandum written in English. After hav- ing deposited this on the table they left the task of translating 1t to the Spanish Cn nu,x1 rQeafon rfa nStx it's length. and the difficulties of translation. They then retired. The situation, then, at presest is as follows: The Americans per- sist fl refusing to take overtures and exact the cession of the Philippines. The Span- iards on their side refuse to cede the arch ipelaso."
 forms were outraged by the Americans at yesterdays sitting. It is customary in such cases to read the memorandum pre- sented to the other side. The Americans. however, contented themselves with throw ing it, written in English, upon the table.
 Continuing the Petit Bleau says: "A member of the Spanish commission has remarked that his colleagues can never ad- init the claims of America in regard to the Philippines. The protocol says the treaty of peace shall determine the disposition and control of the Philippines, and the Ameri- cans now claim that the d sposlton, means that the colony shall be surrendered to America. This Spain can never admit"
 An Early Rupture
 The Petit Bleau expresses it's belief in an early rupture of the negotiations.
 The Rappell says: "A Spanish commits sioner has declared that the Spaniards VIII yield only to force in the question of the Philippine Islands"
 Continuing. the Rappell asserts that 1t anticipates the rupture of the negotiations at an early date, adding: "The country which started out as the liberator of Cuba now threatens war, although her demands as to Cuba have been acceded to because she cannot annex territory which played no part in the bringing on of the war. We preferred the liberator of Cuba to the op- pressor of Spain."
