Paris, Nov. 1.-THE joint session of the

iourned to Saturday after the presenta-
tion by the Spanish commissioners of a
long document in answer to the Ameri-
can argument which was submitted last
week. BY mutual consent the memo

without being read.
The Spaniards in their communication
reafiirnl the position which they have
assumed against the discussion here OF
Spain's Philippine sovereignty. They
insist that the words shall determine
the control, disposition and government
of the Philippines" in article 3 of the
peace protocol, do not warrant any ref
erencc to Spain's withdrawal from the
Philippines. except on her own terms.
and therefore, the Spaniards propose
arbitration ON the construction to be-
placed on the words. the control. dis
position and government"
In slgnifying their Willingness to sub
NIT the Philippines article of the protocol
to a third party for construction. the
Spanish commissioners urged that, as
there is obviously a difference of opinion
regarding the phrase the control. dis
position and government of the Philip
pines" possibly the result of misun-
derstanding, the Spanards should no
more be asked to surrender their view
than the Americans to surrender theirs.
The memorandum points out that a
deadlock exists, which might be broken
by arbitration on the contendng views,
to which the Spanish commissioners are
quite ready to submit. The latter de-
clare that they have no idea of suggest
Ing arbitration as to the main issue,

sides, but they are willing to accept ex-
