AGUINALDo MEANS 10 FIGHT.

Paris, December 2.-The United States
peace commission concluded its consuiSa-
tion with Major General Wesley Merritt
at today's session. after which it took up
the question of Spanish commercial rights
in the West Indies for term of years and
other SUBJECTS of negotiation to be con-
sidered later at the joint session.
Spanish sympathizers having quasi
connection with the Spanish commission
are making much over tho reported anti
tude of the Filipinos toward the United
States. These sympathizers profess to
have information that AguinalGo means
to fight and that he has now 60,0t0

ly of several earlier meetings. When,
after two 1urs of discussion, taking a
wide ran :, the Spaniards were pressed for
definite statements, they pleaded that
they had not received instructions from
Madrid. Thereupon the Americans de-
clared in diplomatic phraseology that it
was useless to waste time in debate with
men who were not empowered to make
bargains.
Although the adjournment was taken
until tomorrow, 1T is probable that there
will be further postponement to Mon
day The Spaniards' version of today's
session is that they ASKED to have the
treaty concluded first and then the minor
natter discussed. ccording to reports
from merican sources, the Spanish COM
inissioners andeavored to draw out hints
as to how far the Americans were willing
TO compromise the demands under discus

Washington, December 2.--It can be
stated positively that no hitch has oc-
commission at Paris.
The statement that Spain has refused
to sell us Ceuta, opposite Gibraltar for
a coal and cable station, is inaccurate.
The case is different respecting the
Carolines. The American naval experts
have urged very strongly that this group
as whole be retained If possible, and
in addition that the Pelew group, lying
to the westland, be purchased. They have
pointed out that the southernmost island
Of Ladrone group, Waloa, lies only 300
miles north of Ponape in the Carolines
and the Pelsw islands are only about six
hundred miles distant from the Philip
zines. With these the United States
would have complete chain Of islands
located at convenient distances more
than half way across the Pacific.
The war department is fairly confident
of its ability now to undertake the full
control of the Philippine islands with
the assistance of the naval contingent
under Dewey. 1t is realized that the task

Originally Senator Hoar introduced

would avoid the coming of Inaugural
ton day OF Sunday.

the bottom OF the proposed change.
Inauguration day is becoming con-
stantly an occasion for increased pomp
and circumstance, and with the frills
that have become a feature Of the cele-
bration the weather OF early March in
