SPAIN WILL GIVE UP.
WILL PAY THE cusAN DEBT
Reports From Paris Indicate That Ameri-
can Firmness Ha. Won Over Spanish
Demards.

Paris, Oct. 27.-The Spanish Peace
commissioners have accepted the neg
ative view of the United States conf
missioners towards the proposed as
sumption by the United States of the
Cuban debt.
IL should be said that the adjust
ments already accomplished will stand
in the final treaty, unless opposing
views and positions on the Philippine
question should develop hereafter and
bring to naught the efforts of the fu-
ture and at the same time the results
already obtained.
The American commissioners have
firmly but courteously declined to as
sumo for the United States the entire
or joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial conditions, and the Spanish
commissioners have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall
without conditions have a place in the
ultimate treaty of peace. 1t was not
until Monday that they became actu-t
ally convinced that the Americans,
who had from the outset made a re-
fusal TO accept the Cuban debt, meant
exactly what they said.
In spite of the fact that the Span
ish commissioners had as back
ground of their efforts doubts of sue
ceeding, their hope of so doing has.
been so keen and their contention has
been so vigorously prosecuted that the
final conviction of their inability 70
win their point brought the Spaniards
such a shock and depression that, con-
sistently with these dispatches at the
time, there We're grave doubts as to
the continuance OF the negotiations.
In support of these statements is the
