Will Have No Extension.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE peace con-
missioners at Paris are still dealing
with propositions relating to Cuba, but
have not yet taken up the subject of
the future of the Philippines. From
an insistence on the strictest construc
ton of the articles Of the protocol, the
Spanish commissioners have swung to
the opposite extreme and are now
looking for amelioration of conditions
therein laid down on the ground that
the agreement was hastily drawn AM
under great pressure.
There is an evident wish on their
part to associate Cuba and the Philip
pines in their final disposition, which
may explain the last application of the
Spanish military commissioners for an
extension of the time allowed for the
evacuation of Cuba. This application
will be duly considered. but neverthe-
less our government will insist that
the administration of Cuba be relin-
quished by the Spanish officials. Dec.
], even if the Spanish troops have not
all been embarked for return to Spain.
