Spanish Commissioners Telegraph to
Madrid For Instructions.
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Predicted In Paris That They Will
Decline Our 10000. 900 Of
fer-Open Door Policy
Pleases England.

Paris, Nov. 23.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have telegraphed to
Madrid the substance Of the United
States memorandum presented Mon
day and are discussing 1t among them
selves. A Spanish commissioner at
firms that he and his colleagues do not
know what 70 DO regarding the Ameri-
can offer.
There IL q difference Of opinion among
unofficial people near the commissions.
But the prediction is made that Spain
will decline the American offer OF
money, that she will refuse to cede the
Philippines and will say to the United
States:
You may take the archipelago be-
cause you have the power to do so. AS
you advance 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 proto-
col but you evidently meant when
drawing up that document to provide a
conference In which. though we differ
man to man. you proposed to announce
at the proper time what you will do,
whether we agree to 1t or object. Such
an attitude robs the conference Of a
negotiative character and sets up the
United States as q dominant power
whose first purpose Is to listen, but
whose ultimate determination is to do
Its own WILL"
What Rios Said.
It is said that Senior Montero Rios.
president Of the Spanish commission. at
the conference remarked. after having
heard the American offer, that II the
vital portion had been read the Span
iards could answer 1t instantly. but as
the memorandum was very long they
would defer their answer until Wednes-
day. adding that 1t would be easily pos
sible to make It within 4S hours.
On the other hand, 1t is said. the Span
iards cannot Justify themselves before
their people and others by throwing
away $50, oo0, ooo added to the inevitable
loss of the Philippine islands.
The Gaulois says:
THE commissions being divided into
an equal number Of voices on the sub
ject Of the cession or retention Of the
archipelago, q recourse to arbitration
is absolutely necessary and legal. The
Americans. nevRtheless, refuse to do
so and attribute to Themselves sover-
eighty over the Philippines without the
consent of the conference. They there
fore themselves tear up the protocol
they had imposed upon the vanquished,
and, to keep up appearances and soften
in the eyes Of the world the violence Of
their proceedings, they offer the absurd
compensa ton Of $40 000, 000."

A Bogus Dispatch.

New York. Nov. %. - The dispatch
sent from Paris on Monday reporting
the withdrawal of Spain from the peace
negotiations apparently came from the
Associated Press correspondent in that
city. The Associated Press, however,
disclaims it and has issued a state
ment covering the case. by which it
appears the cable company in Paris
was imposed upon. 1t would appear
the whole thing was got up for the
sake Of influencing stocks. The Span
ish commissioners deny it's truth.

cord with the newspaper reports Of
Mondays proceedings. although no ref
erence was made to any excitement at
tending the meeting or to any open dis
agreement 1t was stated that the next
meeting would take place as arranged.
The cabinet discussed the matter, and
1t was the judgment of the members
that there will be at least one more

Many Visitors Disappointed
at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.


NEW YORK. Aug. 20. 1ssS.-The new or
der prohibiting visitors TO the Brooklyn
Navy Yard from going aboard the war
ships there went into effect this morning
and in no instance was the rule relaxed
Many Of those who obtained passes from
the Captain of the Yard were consequent
" disappointed The greater OF them
came from out of town points. They
went Immediately to Staten Island SO as
to get aboard the war vessels anchored
keeping "open house. as it were, and all
comers are permitted to inspect the bat
tleships and cruisers.
The effect Of the exclusion of the
throngs of sightseers from the vessels at
the yard was very apparent today, as the
mechanics and other worlxlnen who are
making repairs on the different ships.
were5 able to go ahead with their work
without any interference.
Dry Dock No. 8 was thoroughly clean
ed today and the battleship Iowa will be
docked there tomorrow if the tide IS high
enough. The last of the heavy ammuni-
tion was taken off the Iowa today and
the vessel now sits fully two feet higher
out of the water than when she reached
the yard a week ago.
The cruiser New York is lying at the
ordnance dock, just ahead Of the re-
ceiving ship Vermont Admiral Sampson
arrived at the Sands street entrance in
the forenoon He went at once to the
flagship New York.
The supply steamer America is also lying
at the Cob Dock awaiting instructions
from Washington.
Captain George f. Elliott of the U. 5.
Marine Corps returned from Cuba today
and reported Immediately to Admiral
Francis M. Bunce Captain Elliott had
charge of company of marines who
were first to land at Guantanamo from
the U. S. transport Panther.
