T|CKINGS OF THE TELEGRAPH
News of the Day as Told Over the
Slender Wires.
DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN NEWS
to Give Up the Philippines on the
Demand OF Uncle sam-The French
Republic In Danger.

The Spanish peace commissioners
have fatty refused to accept the prop
osition made by the Americans to
take the entire Philippine group and
to reimburse Spain for her "pacific"
expenditures there. The Spaniards
presented their case in a lengthy state
ment in which they held that the
United States had no ultimate rights
in the Philippine islands and could
have none save by the consent of Spain
in these negotiations and upon terms
satisfactory to her. According to the
Spanish contention, the United States
entertained no thought of annexing
the Philippines when the protocol was
signed or it would have been expressed
in the protocol as clearly as the con-
ditions regarding the cession of terri
tory in the Antilles and the orient.
The Dons declare that Spain distinctly
informed NJ. Cambon before the sign
ing of the protocol that SPANS control
of the Philippines should not be af-
fected by the protocol. They further
maintain that the capitulation of Ma
Mia having occurred after the signing
of the protocol and thus after the sus-
pension of hostilities was invalid.
The Spanish commissioners charge
the U. S, with wrongfully appropriate
ing public moneys belonging to Spain
by Selling the tariff duties at Manila,
and they formally demanded the re-
turn of these moneys in the sum of
81 900, 900. On the same premises the
United States was declared to have
made and held as prisoners the Spanish
troops at Manila in violation of inter
national law because done after the
suspension of hostilities under the pro-
tocol. A further charge made was that
by the imprisonment of the Spanish
troops at Manila the United States had
prevented Spain from quelling the in
surrection and had thus contributed to
the violence against Spain after the
cessation of hostilities. The Spaniards
also cited the refusal of the Americans
to consider the Cuban debt, on the
ground that it was not sanctioned in
the protocol and demanded an adher-
ence to this precedent in the discussion
of the Philippines, regarding a cession
of which the Spanish commissioners
held the protocol TO make no mention.
