MADRID. Nov. 22.-The proposals OF
the United States peace commissioners
have been received here without any
public sensation. The general feeling Is
IN favor OF a speedy ending OF the nego-
tiatlons.
The newspapers lament the "ungener-
osIty" Ok the United States In Offering
such small indemnity" They think
that Japan or some Of the European
powers would have paid higher price.
Their are those who contend It would be
better to decline indemnity altogether
because the government could then de-
cline responsibility for the Philippine
&. debt.
There Is much Irritation at the apathy
OF Europe. The Impartial says: Pres
ident Mckinley now boasts of having
himself written the protocol In order to
mIsIead Spain. This Is adding Insult to
Injury Yet Europe looks on undIsturh-

PARIS, Nov 22-Last night the
s,anisb commissioner sent the AmerI-
cao proposition by a special messenger
10 Madrid, where 1t viii arrive to.mor-
row. 1t is now felt the Spanish gov-
srnment must answer the American ul-
ruatum, but as It is not likely that the
answer OF Madrid will arrive tomorrow
IN time for the commission to formu-
Iate thelr reply to the Americans be-
fore noon, II Is probable the joint meet
inc will be deferred from tomorrow to
a dav later in the week.
There is a difference of opinion among
unofficial people near the commissioners
hut the prediction is made that Spain
will decline the American offer OF mo-
ney. that she win refuse to cede the
Philippines and will say to the United
States.
"You may take ethearchlpelago because
YOU have the power to do SOFAS Bou ad-
vance we will retire, protesting against
greedy aggression. We will faithfully
carry out our protocol pledges and leave
cuba and Porto Rico In your hands.
You came here to engage In a discus
sion under the terms Of the protocol,
but you evidently meant when drawing
up that document to provide confer
ence In which though we dlfEer. man to
man, you proposed TO announce at the
proper time what you will do whether
we agree to It or object. Such an attl-
tude robs the conference OF a negotia-
tive character and sets up the United
states as a dominant power whose first
purpose is to listen but whose ultimate
determination Is to do Its own will"
It is said to-day that Senior Montero
Rios, president OF the Spanish commits
sion at the conference yesterday, re-
marked after having heard the Ameri-
can offer, that If the vital portion had
been rend the Spanisrds could have an
swered It instantly, but as the memoir
andum was very long they would defer
their answer until Wednesday, adding
tha; II would be easily possible to make
It within forty-eight hours.
