That Interested Pnris-Quean Regent Be-
slows Decorative Order on Fnure.
PARIS, Nov. 1s,--There were three
official functions here yesterday after
noon and evening which aroused con-
siderable interest among the American
peace commissioners. The first was the
bestowa, OF the order OF tho Golden
Fleece upon President Faure by the
Queen Regent OF Spain through the
president OF The Spanish peace commits
sioner, Senior Montero Rios. The second
was a dinner given by President Faure
to Scnor Montero Rios and his fellow
commissioners. Finally at Q o'clock last
night. President Faure received the
American commissioners at the Elysee
palace, where there was comic opera
entertainment in their honor.
There Is some surprise expressed
among the members of the American
colony at the bcstowal Of the decoration
upon the French president at the hands
OF the Spanish peace commission at this
moment, and others are asking them
selves whether the entertainment at the
Elysee palace was to be regarded as a
sort OF compensation to the Americans
whose sensibilitles may have been
wounded by the bestownl Of Spanish
decoration upon ". Faure before the
conclusion of the peace negotiations.

PARIS, Nov 1s.-The United States
commissioners are devoting to-day, as
they did yesterday, 10 formulating their
next presentation for the consideration
OF the Spanish commissioners.
While the Americansar are rcttcent as to
their Intentions 1t may be said without
reserve that the occasion Is nenr upon
which the exact peace terms acceptable
10 the American commissioners will be
laid before the Spanlards with time
limit for their acceptance.
As previously indicated In these 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 guarantee any of the
Spanish bonds. even though Spain may
have mortgased as security the revenues
OF territory to be taken by the United
States. =
As set forth In these dispatches on
October 81 and previously. the United
States may now balance It's war ledger,
debting to Spain the value of the battle
ship 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 equi-
Ties and values In the Philippine Islands.
II difference Is found to exist in favor
OF Spain this amount in cash may be
offered her by the American commis-
sloners at the next joint session here.
What this balance may be Is not def
nltely known. but 1t may be about $780,
100000 or possibly less. The Americans
may also require until next Monday or
Tuesday to prepare the final presenta-
tion OF their case which was understood
al the adjournment of Wednesday last.

sPAIN's PURPOSE


III RniatnE nt,r Points was TO Conceal De.
f,Icr.t"n "fss spnnish Officials.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Thc two
new points laid down BY the Spanish
peace commissioners In the answer pre-
sented by them at Wednesdays session
OF the Joint commission VIII not be per-
mitted to change the attitude OF the
United States commissioners. These
points were, in substance. that the
Spaniards could not permit any Ques-
tion to be raised as TO the authority OF
the Spanish government to pledge the
resources OF the Philippines to meet the
Philippine, loan and, that they could not
permit an accounting OF the method In
which the proceeds NJ this loan had been
expended.
There is reason to believe the Spanish
purpose Is to conceal enormous defalca-
tions by the Spanish officials, who have
governed the Philippines since the issue
OF the loan. The ostensible purpose IS
10 be able to plead inability 10 state
what the "paciiic expenditures" have
been on account Of the Philippines,
which was all that the. United States
proposed 10 reimburse them for. Our,
government, however. in anticipation of
some such evasivc dealings, has pre-
pared the American commissioners with
instructions which exactly meet. this
case. They know approximately Just
about the value gef the bettermeRts In
the Philippine islands. having ascer-
tanned this from private but thoroughly
reliable sources. Knowing this, they
can afford to Ignore entirely the efforts
of the SDanlards to becloud the facts
and willSadopt the simple eXpedient OF
proferring in a lump sum as many mil
lion dollars as 1t Is deemed fair and just
to tender for the Spanish properties, re-
Gu!ring and rendering no statement or
calculation as basis for the offer. Thus
there will be avoided the danger OF a
long wrangte over complex statement OF
figures and the issue will be made with
perfect clearness
It Is believed that the Spanish COM
mission finally will accept this offer,
though 1t Is fully expected that once the
commission reaching the point OF nam
Ing sums OF money and has left behind
II all of the irrelevant discussion touch
ing sovereignty. the Spanish commits
soners may make q determined effort
to secure a larger. allowance than the
President hns sanctioned. Judging,
however, by the conduct OF the Ameri-
can commissioners up to this point there
will be very little latitude allowed the
Spaniards In this matter and It Is be-
lieved that they have come to appreciate
the fact that the American proposition
is in the end Just about what 1t was at
the beginning and that the American
diplomacy is straightforward at all
points,
