PARIS, Nov. 3.-If the Spanish peace COM
missioners break up the conference Friday
morning, the time they have set for return
ing an answer to the American demands as to
the Philippines, because the United States
demands all of the archipelago, the action
will not be so important as might seem at
first blush. The aim Of the Spanish COM
missioners now is not SO much to save the
Islands to Spain as to escape putting their
names to the treaty which cedes those
islands. That Is an act which may be turned
against the commissioners by their political
enemies at home. The conduct which is to
be looked for Friday will be personal and In
dividual, rather than national and 1t cannot
be taken for granted that the Spanish people
All the Paris morning papers touch on the
subject today, and the evening papers con-
tain leading editorials expressing surprise at
the American demands, mildly blaming the
Washington government. They show some
slight compassion for Spain, but advise Sa-
gasta to yield to the inevitable, lest resist
ance lead to worse results. This sensible
tone Of the French press doubtless will do
much to cause Spain to think twice before
ending negotiations.
The opinion prevails here that at the meet
ing Friday the Spanish commissioners will
first protest, then threaten and then ask de-
lay. However, Senior Montero Rios and his
colleagues are greatly Influenced by The
domestic situation in the peninsula, and as
everything there Is most chaotic 1t is i'm
possible to divine what they may do. They
cannot tell themselves twenty-four hours
ahead.
