1t is certain that the Spanish peace
commission will maintain the conten-
ton that all the clauses of the proto-
col must be faithfully observed by the
Americans, as they have been by the
Spanards, regarding Cuba and Porto
Rico. The Spanish commission holds
that no discussion on the Philippines
can be tolerated, and the sovereignty
of Spain over those islands will be
maintained. The rlmors relative to
compensation are only simple hypoth-
esis at present. The attitude of Spain
in the mater is quite simple--nameIy,
before admitting the possibility of
any agreement in regard to the archi-
pelago, she eXacts that the United
States recognize that her rights in
