Have Abandoned Hope of Avoiding

Paris, Oct. 28.-The American COM
mlssloners have firmly but courteously
declined to assume for the United
states the entire or joint responsibility
for the Spanish financial conditions.
Senior Montero p IS, the president of
the Spanish commission, and his col
leagues. with faithful resistance. sought
another result. But they have failed
to attain it, and have finally abandon
ed the effort. and have agreed that
the Cuban article Of the protocol shall,
without conditions, have a place in
the ultimate treaty of peace. Though,
through several sessions. the Spanish
commissioners have had before them
the irrevocable presentation of their
American colleagues. it was not until
Monday that they became absolutely
convinced that the Americans, from the
outset of their refusal to accept the
Cuban debt. meant exactly what they
said.
1t should be said that the adjust
ments already accomplished will stand
in the final treaty. unless opposing
views and positions on the Philippine
question should develop hereafter and
bring to naught the efforts Of the fu-
ture and at the same time the results
already obtained.
