Spanish Peace Commissioners Have
Submitted American Ultimatum.
THEIR GOVERNMENT MUST DECIDE
Belief Expressed That Our Offer
Will Be Rejected.
SPANISH POSITION DEFINED

PARIS. November 22-The Spanish peace
commissioners last night telegraphed to
Madrid the substance of the United States
memorandum presented yesterday, and late
in the evening they were discussing 1t
among themselves As late as / o'clock
this morning a Spanish commissioner af-
firmed that he and his colleagues did not
know what to do regarding the American
offer.
There is a difference of opinion among
unofficial people near the commissions but
the prediction is made that Spain will de
clire the American offer of money that
she will refuse to cede the Philippines and
will say to the United States:
Spnin's Position Defined.
You may take the archipelago because
You have the power to do So As YOU ad-
vance We will retire, protesting against
greedy aggression. We will faithfully carry
out our protocol pledges and leave Cuba
and Porto Rico in your hands. You came
here to engage in a discussion under the
terms of the protocol. but you evidently
meant when drawing up that document to
provide conference in which, though we
differ, man to man, you proposed to an
noUnce at the proper time what you will
do. whether we agree to ii or object Such
an attitude robs the conference of nego-
tiative character. and sets Up the United
States as a dominant power. whose first
purpose is to listen, but whose ultimate
termination is to do its own will"
II is sail tCGay that Senor Montero Rios
president + the Spanish commission at
the conference yesterday remarked after
having heard the American offer, that if
the vital portion had been read the Span
memorandum was very long they would de-
fe: their answer until Wednesday, adding
that it would be easily possible to make i.
within forty eight hours.
Throw Away S2O.OOO,OOO

pie and others by throwing away $4,000

The Gaulois today says: The commits
Sions being divided into an equal number
of voices on the subject of the cession or
retention of the archipelago, a recourse to
arbitration is absolutely necessary and
legal The Americans, nevertheless, refuse
to do so and attribute TO themselves SOW
ereignty over the Philippines without the
consent of the conference. They, therefore
themselves tear up the protocol they had
imposed upon the vanquished and to keep
