Joint Session of Peace Commissions
at Paris This Afternoon.
AMERICAN DEMANDS MODIFIED
State Department Officials Say
There May Be Two Treaties.
MAIN POINTS ALL SETTLED

PARIS. December J.-The American peace
commissioners held a long conference this
morning, beginning at 10 o'clock, and only
had brief recess for lunch before going to
The foreign office to meet the Spanish COM
missioners at 3 o'clock pm.
The Americans, apparently, had changed
the form, if not the substance, of some of
their demands, as result of their delibera-
lions during the past three days.
Secretary Moore of the United States
commission was engaged far into the night
in revising the draft of the treaty of peace.
The American commissioners say it is
possible, though improbable, that today's
joint session will settle all the open ques-
tions in substance, leaving only the word
ing Of the treaty for discussion.
May Be Two or More Treaties.
The impression prevails here that the re-
suits of the negotiations at Paris will be
embodied in two or more treaties instead
of one. Thus there will be one actual peace
treaty, embodying nothing more than the
protocol points relating to the rclinquish-
ment of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba
and the Spanish West Indies, Guam and
the Philippines, with the single exception
of the proviso for the release of prisoners.
All the other matters, those relating to
the renewal of the commercial treaties,
the acquisition of cable stations and coal
stations and, in fact, all those matters that
have been mentioned as likely to be in
corporated in the peace treaty. will form
the subject of special treaty. This course
is likely to be adopted in order to hasten
the conclusion of peace. for which there
is great necessity, If for no other reason
than to secure the release of prisoners ana
the restoration of trade between Spain and
the United States. TO insist on including
in this treaty, along with the protocol
points, the other matters mentioned
proper subjects for treaty bases would, ii
Is now conceded, very much delay the sub
mission of the peace treaty to Congress.
This would tend, too without any disposi-
tion on the part of the Spanish = ,mmis-
sioners, to obstruct proceedings, for many
of the subjects are of complicated la-
ture, requiring very deliberate considera-
ton.
There has been no evidence of any fric-
ton between the American commissioners.
1t is supposed, III fact it is known, that in
their own sessions they nave differed about
some points and have discussed these at
length, but whenever it came to the point
of action in the joint commission the
Americans were united. The last report
received from them at the State Depart
ment was unanimous. bearing ,he sigma
ture of every member Of the commission.
