NO COMPLAINTS.
Spanish Peace Commissioners Have
no Ground to Make Any.
Paris Newspapers Continue Criticisms Of
American Commissioners.

Paris. Nov. 1O.-The newspapers OF
this city after yesterdays meeting OF
the peace commission seemed to have
gathered the impression that the Span
ish commissioners have cause for COM
plant against the Americans because
the latter presented their replies TO the
Spanish proposals in English and with
out a Spanish translation of the docu-
ment. There is no basis for complaint
on the subject. The president OF the
Spanish commission Senior Montero
Rios and Judge Day president of the
American commission agreed. that ow-
ing TO the length OF the document all
concerned might be spared the reading
of matter which is usually translated
In writing into Spanish for the benefit
Of Senor Montero Rios and two other
members OF the Spanish commission,
who do not understand English.
Each side up 90 the present has made
its own written translations, but the
Americans alone have supplied an in
terpreter for the joint sessions, the
Spaniards relying on the American in
terpreters instead of furnishing an in
terpreter for their side, as they might
have been expected to do. The Ameri-
and the Spaniards have marvelled at
the facilities with which he did his
work. They have never once checked
or corrected him i'm the slightest degree.
In view OF the facts in the case some of
the references of the Paris newspapers
this morning are interesting.
Regarding yesterdays meeting FL
garo says: THE American commission
ers contented themselves with produc-
ing long memorandum. written i'm
English. After having deposited this
upon the table they left the task of
translating IL TO the Spanish commits
sioners, apologizing courteously for its
length and the difficulties OF transla-
tion and then retired. The situation
then is as follows: The Americans per-
sist in refusing TO take over the Cuban
debt and exact the cession OF the Phil
ippines. The Spaniards. on their side,
refuse to cede the archipelago"
The Petit Bleu remarks: 'All diplo-
matte forms were outraged by the
Americans at yesterdays sitting. Ii is
customary i'm such cases TO read the
memorandum presented to the other
side. The Americans. however. content
ed themselves with throwing it,written.
