MORE OF SPANS NERVE.

Paris, October 12-The sitting yestsr-
day of tho Joint peace commissions OF the
United States and Spain were devoted,
according to the Gaulois to an examlna'
ton of the solution which it is possible to
give two questions in the protocol.
The Philippine question, the Gaulo1s
adds, was discussed incidentally, the
United States commissioners seeking TO
impose a system of compensation Tor
claims connected with the group by as
summing the doubt provided Spain guar
antees the Cuban debt.
The Spaniards, it further appears, wish
the United States to assume the CUBAN
debt and to hand over to Spain all the
war material in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The discussion, still according to the
Gaulois, was very animated.
Judge Day of the merican commission
and Senior Montero Rios, the president
of the Spanish commission, having re-
ceiyed instruction from their respective
governments the Americans consider
that they cannot discuss the principles
forming the base of the protocol. 10 which
the Spaniards reply that the protocol
was signed at critical moment and
under so pressing IA necessity that it can
not be considered as expressing the sover-
eign will of free nation.
The American peace commission at i've

sides the healthful location is the posi-
bility of approaching them from the sea.

commander eager to co operate with the

the Cubans being disbanded SO soon as
the Spaniards evacuated the island and a
