WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Advices were
received by the president from Mr..
Day, president of the American COM
mission, reiterating the assurances he
had previously given the president of
the early and successful conclusion of
the work of the commission Judge
Day. it is understood, stated positively
that the Spanish commissioners form
ally will accept, perhaps today, the
terms of the United States, and that a
treaty drawn along the lines of the
agreement reached will be drawn and
signed in few days.
PARIS, Nov. 28.-Unless there is some
change in the situation today the reply
OF Spain will be an acceptance, under
protest, OF the American offer of $780,
0OO,0 for the Philippines.
kilograms have been exchanged be-
tween the Spanish commissioners and
Madrid; but all the Americans in a posi-
ton to speak with authority are con-
WINGED that the foregoing outlines the
Spanish reply. Senior Abarzuza ex-
pressed the opinion that there would
be no break in the work of the commits
sions.
Marquis de Comillas, who is the lar
gest individual creditor of Spain, and
has been here from the outset in behalf
of the numerous important enterprises
of which he IS the head, also indicated
that Spain had made up her mind to
yield. He is in very close touch with
the Spanish commissioners.

Philippines, and they have never

commission for today's joint session at
Paris, at which the treaty will be
signed.
FL impartial exhorts the government

LONDON, GOV. 2S.-The MADRID COR
respondent of The Standard says:
"The cabinet has concluded that the

cord, ii the American commissioners
will permits protest against the Ameri-

peace conditions generally.
1.-The decision OF the cabinet is ap-
proved in political and financial circles.
| understand, however, that the 6elib-
erations OF the ministers were very pro-
tracted. Senior Sagasta, Duke Almo-
dovar de Rio and Senior Puigcerver had
great difficulty in inducing some of
