SPAIN ASKS US FOR FAVORS
Pleads for Commercial Privileges
in the West Indies.
WILL PROBABLY BE GRANTED.
Guarantee of This Policy for Five Years
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cited In Sup
port of tho Demand-wIH Probably
BE Granted by America.

PARIS, Dec. 3.-The joint session of
the peace commissions yesterday lasted
two hours. No real progress was
made. The Spaniards are awaiting in
structions Span's proposition for
commercial privileges in the West
Indies was not settled and was scarce
have also asked for instructions on
ly considered at all. The Americans
certain matters. The Caroline islands
question was not considered
Spain asks the United States to
grant, for term of five years, tc
Spanish ships carrying Spanish goods
or products to Porto Rico and Cuba,
the same privileges as American YES
sells engaged in the same trade may
have, and she qualities this request by
provision that trade privileges be ex-
tended to Cuba so long as the United
States government dominates over the
island.
In support of this request, the Span
ish commissioners assert that Spain
cannot, without vital harm, immedi.
ately abandon or cut the business re-
lations 30 long maintained between
the mother country and the West In
dian territories. They declare that
family ties and social relations, added
to affairs of trade maintained through
centuries, require gradual dissolution.
They invoke the terms of the treaty of
1919 by which the United States took
over Florida from Spain and the
fifteenth article of which granted
Spain for twelve years the right to
send her goods and products to Florida
in Spanish ships on the same terms as
the ships carrying thither goods and
products Of the United States
The Spanish commissioners cite
further the fact that the treaty of 1903
with France for the cession of Louisi-
ana, granted French and Spanish
goods and products the same terms as
Americans in New Orleans and other
ports in the coded territory.
Finally, Spain points to the Amer
lean proposed open door" policy in
the Philippines, and asks guarantee
of the same advantages in her West
Indian colonies, until trade relations
can by degrees accustom themselves to
the change of sovereignty.
This proposition and the arguments
by which it was supported are con-
sidered strongly stated and the Amer
lean commissioners desire time for de-
liberation.

opposition to the peace treaty which
is being formulated in Paris. He is
opposed to the acquisition of the Phil

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Dec. 2.-The
attempt to effect coalition between
the states of Nicaragua, Honduras and
Salvador, to be conducted under a
common administration and known as
the United States of Central America,
has failed completely.
The federal organizers yesterday
formally declared the union dissolved,
the three states resuming, respect
lively, absolute sovereignty.
The collapse is due to the failure of
the troops of Honduras, acting in be-
half of the federal organizers, to sup
press the outbreak in Salvador against
