UNITED STATES ONE CONCESSION.
IT Guarantees That Life and Proper
~ Shall BE secure.

WASHINGTON, oct. N.-The intlmation
conveyed by the American commissioners
10 the Spanish commissioners at Mondays

that the position of the United States
with respect to Cuba and the Cuban debt
could not be regarded as subject to change
and that consequently the American com
missioners were ready to proceed with The

tocol, the Paris advices show had the de-
sired effect The one concession as to

Cuba This responsibility the United
States will assume only until such time
as a stable government shall be formed
and operative in Cuba There will be 20
perpetual government on this score.
Undue significance has been attached
to the dispatch OF a special messenger
from Washington yesterday 20 the Presl-
dent at Philadelphia. Almost every day
a long report has come by cable from
Judge Day. president Of the American
commissioners at Paris, telling what has
been accomplished, what the Spanish com
missioners were seeking, and what the
American commissioners propose 10 do at
the next meeting. The President has gone
over these reports very carefully, and
sometimes with military or naval experts
IL their advice seemed to be necessary
Yesterday report was very long, and to
have reduced it to cipher code for the
purpose Of telegraphing It to Philadelphia
would have consumed more time and been
less satisfactory in results than the serv-
ices Of a messenger. As a vital stage
has been reached. IL was thought adVlsa-
bic not to delay till the Presidents return
and so Assistant Secretary Cridler's con-
fidential clerk was sent 20 Philadelphia
with the daily report
1t is expected that the commissioners
will now take up the subject OF the Phil

Paris, oct 27-The Spanish peace com
missioners have accepted the negative
view of the United States commission to-
ward the proposed assumption by the
United States of the Cuban debt.
The American commissioners have firm
~, but courteousy declined to assume for
the United States the entire or Joint re-
sponsibiity for the Spanish financial con
ditions
senor Montero Rios. the president of the
Spanish commission and his colleagues,
with faithful insistence sought another
result, But they failed to attain 1t and
agreed that the Cuban article of the pro-
tocol shall, without conditions, have a
place in the ultimate treaty of peace.
Though through several sessions The
Spanish commissioners have had before
them the irrevocable presentation of their
American colleagues, it was not until
Monday that they became absolutely con
vinced that the Americans had from the
outset of their refusal TO accept the Cuban
debt, meant exactly what they said.
In suiie of the fact that the Spanish
commissioners had as back ground 20
their efforts. doubts of succeeding. their
hope of so doing has been so keen and
their ooutention has been 50 vigorously
prosecuted that the final conviction Of their
inability to win their point brought TO the
Spaniards such shock and depression
that, consistently with these dispatches ct
the time there were grave doubts as TO
the continuance of the negotiations.
In support Of these statements is the
fact that Senior Montero Rios, after Mon
Days session, and on Tuesday last would
have resigned the presidency Of the Span
ish peace commission, had he not believed
that his doing 30 may have grievousiy
shaken, even if Il had not unseated, Senior
Sagasta's government From this stand
point, If for no other reason, Senior Mon
tero Rios retained his position and at YES
terday's session. acting under the convic-
ton arrived at on Monday, the Spaniards
announced that they would forego further
argument on the Cuban debt and agreed
that. practically in the terms and abso-
lutely in the spirit of HE protocol, the ar
ticles about Cuba should go forward into
the final treaty. Thus Spain agrees 10 re-
lnquish sovereignty over and claim TO
Cuba without either terms or conditions.
Ali difficulties, IL any existed, regarding
Porto Rico and the selection OF the Island
of Cuba were also arranged by a mutual
understanding and the commissioners
found themselves well-nigh touching the
philippine question. which win be taken
up next.
''It should be said that the adjustments
already accomplished VIII stand in the
final treaty. unless opposing views and
positions on the Philippine question should
develop hereafter to bring naught the ef-
forts of the future and at the same time
the results already obtained.

which began to-day at p. m, ended at
