is believed that the Spanish commits

1t is now thought to be certain that
the commission at q meeting next Mon

things, j. e.: either agree to the ces-

lision on the Rock Island at Moscow.

they did yesterday, to formulating their
next presentation for the consideration
of the Spanish commissioners.
While the Americans are reticent as
to their intentions, it may be said
without reserve that the occasion is
near upon which the exact peace terms
acceptable to the American commits
sioners will be laid before the Span
iards, with time limit for their ac-
ceptance.
AS previously indicated in the dis
patches, the American commissioners
will not involve the United States in
any obligations to the creditors of
Spain in any shape or form In other
words, the Americans will not guaran-
tee any of the Spanish bonds, even if
they have mortgaged as security the
revenues of territory to be taken by the
United States. AS set forth in these
dispatches on Oct 81 and previously,
the United States may now balance its
war ledger, debiting to Spain the value
of the battleship Maine, the cost of the
naval and military operations, the
losses incurred by American commerce,
and the future pension roll, etc., while
on the other side of the sheet may be
placed Spain's equities and values in
If a difference is found to exist in
favor of Spain, this amount, in cash,
may be offered her by the American
commissioners at the next joint ses-
sion here What this balance may be
is not definitely known, but it may be
about $2G,O00,G00, or possibly less. The
Americans may also require until next
! Monday or Tuesday to prepare the
final presentation of their case, which
was understood at the adjournment of
Wednesday last.
There were three official functions
here yesterday afternoon and evening,
which aroused considerable interest
among the American peace commits
sioners. The first was the bestowal of
the Golden Fleece upon President
Faure by the queen regent of Spain,
through the president of the Spanish
peace commissioners, Senior Montero
Rios, and his fellow commissioners.
Finally, at o'clock last night, Presi-
dent Faure received the American COM
missioners at the Elysee palace, where
there was a comique opera entertain
ment in their honor
There is some surprise expressed
among the members of the American
colony at the bestowal of the decora-
ton upon the French president at the
hands OF the Spanish peace commission
at this moment, and others are asking
themselves whether the entertainment
at the EIysee palace was to be regard
