The Action Not Important I'm
Itself but 1t Implies
Much.
Confronted by the Fact That
the. Protocol Contains
No Ifs.
Also Made to Understand That
the War Was Not Begun
for Conquest.

PARIS, Oct. 20.-At the request Of the
Spanish commissioners the joint meet.
ing of the peace commission has been
deferred to Friday,
While the deferring of any one con-
ference for day or two days is not in
itself an important request, the delay by
the Spaniards at this iuncture is some
thing more than significant. The game
Of diplomacy now progressing here has
reached stage which makes it neces-
sary that the next move be made by the
Spanish commissioners. They are con-
fronted by the plain fact of their pro-
tocol to relinquish and evacuate Cuba
without "ifs" lands" or "buts."
1t has become clear here that the
Spaniards cherished the hope that they
could Internationally covenant to follow
given path and ultimately wander
elsewhere and do less or more than
named in the protocol compact. The
American commissioners, however, have
firmly adhered to the boundary lines
already mutually established, and within
"AtIh CllCy AlIoioU uIl0 Op1IAio1u I'D do "Oh
as themselves, shall duly proceed.
1t is not too much to say that Spain
has more light than ever before on the
integrity and steadfastness in word and
purpose Of the United States. Nor is it
wide of the fact to say that the Span
iards are now initially approaching that
the United States did not make war or
Spain to acquire Cuba as conquest
prize.

SENT A MANDATORY BOARD.

Spaniards Claim the American Commits
sion Had Strict Orders.
PARIS, Oct. 20.-La Liberte, discuss
ing the peace negotiations, points to
Spain as pleading for arbitration where
the commissions do not agree, and says:
''The Washington cabinet will not lis
ten to anything. We have already
pointed out the abnormal conditions at
tending the appointment of the Amer
lean delegates and their imperious in
structions. Mr.. Day and his colleagues
are not properly negotiators, but only
manufactures, whose work is to carry out
precise orders. They have no right to
discuss or to make concessions, but
simply may announce to the Spanish
government the
Exactions of the United States.
The American commissioners have for
NAL orders not to lend themselves to
any notifications of the conditions Of
peace and to repel all arbitration, giving
notice finally, if the Spanish do not
agree to their terms, of naval demon
stration in Spanish waters.
'sMadrid now knows that the effort to
induce the United States to assume any
part of the Cuban debt or to renounce
the Philippines, wholly or in part, was
doomed in advance to fail. Spain has
nothing to do but to give way nobly to
the hard laws of war, as a fresh humilia-
ton would be certain to follow Senior
Sagasta's non-success against the grasp
ing disposition of the United States."

OUR ATTITUDE PLAIN.

American Commission Definitely Declines
to Assume the Cuban Debt.
PARIS, Oct. 20.-Spain cannot longer
have any doubt regarding the ultimate
attitude of the United States towards
the so-called Cuban debt. The Ameri-
can commissioners have definitely de-
clined to assume it or any part Of it, by
express treaty or by contract.
They also declined to accept cession
of sovereignty to the United States, for
in that case Spain would claim that
such cession by it's own force would
impose the obligation for that debt.
