 There Is no longer any doubt that ne- gotiations in Paris and Havana are not proceeding with the smoothness which the authorities desire. It Is not meant by this that there has been any serious hitch. for such is not the case. But Spain's persistency in making unrea- sonabIe demands and in sticking to them is rather wearing, and when the President returns there is likely to be some sharp correspondence which will bring the Spaniards to their senses.
 So far as I have been able to learn no instructions have been sent to Ma jor General Wade. chairman of the commission, regarding the refusal of the Spanish Government to discuss the points raised, but that officer will con- tinue to press Spain's commissioners to agree to December 1 as the date for evacuation. Should it be shown that such action is clearly impossible then
