No Final Conclusion Yet Reached On Any
Psint in the Protocol.
FOURTH JOINT SESSION YESTERDAY
Side to Delay the Ultimate Conclusions and
the End Of the Work.

Paris. Oct. IL. 1850 a. m.-After a fourth
joint session lasting from 2 O'Clock yes
terday fTuesdayJ afternoon to a quarter
past the American and Spanish peace
commissions adjourned without having
reached final conclusion as to any point
in the protocol
Thus far there has been no joint form
ulation OF crystaii-z -zafion of views to be
returned by each commission TO its gov
ernnlenr for embod.fng in the final treaty
The question of the Philippines has not
yet been considered in joint session
though the Americans at their separate
sessions have acquired exhaustive tnfor-
nation from persons who have lived in
the Philippine islands and done business
there They are now. therefore, well
equipped to discuss the subject when 1t
comes up.
The Spanish commissioners have pre-
sented written views. expressions and
propositions TO which there have been
written rejoinders. These. in the original
and In translations. have been read at the
joint sessions. while during the recesses
they have been respectively digested and
responses formulated 10 them rendered
in both English and Spanish, for the next
joint session.
The Spanish. IT is believed have asked
to have the Cuban debt assumed by the
United States. urging that the debt should
presented for American assumption COW
ers the expenses OF the ten-years' insur-
rection. the recent insurrection and the
war with the United States
The Americans probably have replied
that IL indeed any part OF the so-calied
Cuban debt Is allowable, the part in
Cured in SURPRISING insurrections or in
the war with the United States Il not all
lowable-
The Spanish will doubtless also urge
equities in stocks. water front better
ments. public buildings and perhaps ma
terizl- 1t Is possible that this contention
will receive consideration on the basis
OF equities between mortgagor and mort
gagee-
Thus far no disposition has been devei-
oped on either side TO delay the ultimate
conclusions and the end of the work in
hand. The American commissioners are
anxious to conclude as soon IS possible
and on recess days they are devosinx from
three to i've hours to discussions and de-
tails The Adjournment yesterday yas to
Friday. Both commissions have accepted

PROGRESS OF THE WORK.
Ne Dfasatfafaeslsa Felt In Washing-

Washington D. G, Oct. f1--The peace
commissioners in Paris. 80 far from
reaching a point of absolute variance on
the question of the Philippines. have not
ation- IL Is true that at the very first ses-
sion of the joint commission. the Spanish
representatives sought 10 raise question
concerning the occupancy Of Manila bay
and town by the United States military
and naval forces The United States CON-
this point In any aspect and. with some
reluctance, the Spaniards gave over for
the time being the effect to raise that
issue Since then the commission when
ever meeting jointly. has been engaged
entirely with three questions to the COM
piete exclusion Of the Philippines These
questions relate entirely. to Cuba. Porto
Rico and Guam. and according TO the
very last reports from the Americans
to Washington. they are still under con-
sideratson-
The United States will not assume any
cessicn or release OF Cuba and Porto
Rico II was fully expected by the au-
thortties hcre that the Spanish contingent
on the peace commission would make
strong efforts TO the assumption of the
heavy financial obligations OF these is
ian,is a condition Of The cessior of Porto
Rico and the abandonment Of sovereignty
over Cuba But the American commits
sioners were fully and definitely instruct
cd on these points and the general tenor
of these Instructions WAS that such OBJ
lzations were not to be assumed by the
United States
No dissatisfaction Is felt here at the pro-
Sre-< OF the commission in the settlement
OF the question assigned to It II was
f,,liv understood thar the issue presented
would require the most delicate and eau
tions handling and while the American
commissioners were expected to deal with
these with the greatest firmness. 1t was
realized that some consideration must De
shown for the Spanish commissioners
who would be obliged. at least to make an
EFFORT to secure abatement or. the
American demands in order TO satisfy
public feeling at home. 1t can be stated
that there has been no dimunitiou In the
confidence Of the administration In n sat
tSfartory outcome OF the peace negotia-
t,cns at Paris. When that city was Sc
lected for the meeting place the peace
commissioners at the most earnest and re-
peated prayer OF NJ. Cafnbon. 1t was uI,-
siers,ooi that the American commission
,rs would be Obliged TO bear up against
a strong pressure from the prc-Spanisn
element OF the French press. but this had
ali been discussed before the commission
cr,s sailed from America. and the president
was satisfied that the men he had select
Cd 10 represent the United States were
o. suff,ctent Individual strength to resist
any outside influence
