AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES, ACTING ALONG
wELL-coNsIDERED LINEs-AN INVITATION
FROM PRESIDENT FAURE DECLINED.
Paris. Oct. s.-The United States Peace Com
missoners began their usual session at 10
o'clock this morning.
The Commission reconvened for two hours
session at 2:30 p m. The first session likewise
lasted two hours.
The Commissioners are understood to have
taken into consideration direct suggestions and
counter propositions from the Spaniards, OF
which the Americans have enough to en-
gage their attention at the daily sessions It
may be regarded quite likely that the Span
iards have already outlined their apparent ex-
.pectations. and that they are beyond the line OF
possible acquiescence by the Americans. The
latter now acting along well-considered lines
consistently and with a definite end in view.
They have to some degree disclosed American
expectation and determination The Spaniards,
however seem unable unwilling to
derstand or believe the Americans may, or
have at the outset, set forth their requirements
and that they are destined to remain virtually
unchanged by fnesse or counter diplomacy
Wherefore, it is not unlikely that the Americans
following the course of fair thorough considera-
tion Of all the original counter propositions.
will, TO the limit of fruitful possibility. accord
patient consideration Of aught projected by the
Spaniards. Thus II is fair to conclude that the
Americans daily sessions during the recess in
tervals will be fully engrossed
While the Philippines have not yet been
reached in the deliberations. this question is
doubtless relatively not far distant, and at that
point is likely to come the full stress of the
diplomatic controversy.
Referring to the Philippine phase OF the nego-
tiations the "Gaulos" to-day says
The question somewhat touched upon,
though not discussed Yesterday but there was
enough to indicate serious difficulties when it
