ropean politics. But everything chang
ed very suddenly. After the success
against Spain the American government
felt itself capable Of taking
part In European politics and
advances OF Great Britain show
ed the American ministers they
could speak up. This popular feeling
has induced the AmeClcan government
to demand the whole Of the archipelago
when at the outset part Of the Philip
pines was all that was demanded.
This new demand exceeds war in-
dennlty and this Is the weak point
which American diplomacy. has eneoun-
tered. The Spanish government Is at
the end of its resources and hopeless as

several offers and have at the present
time proposed the sum Of $40Q 100000 The

THE Spanish delegates, for whose sad
conditions one must feel pity, had for q
moment the Illusion that Europe would
intervene and defend the interests OF
Spain. They must have lost this illu-
sion by now. American diplomacy has
played its part with great cleverness,
and has from the outset gained an eX.

towards the Spanlards and Americans Is

PARIS, Nov. s.-The Llberte attrlb-
utes the recrudescence OF the warlike
attitude In England to the return OF Mr.
Chamberlain, who may have thought
that as France accepts the principle Of
the evacuation Of Fashoda a few more
threats would procure further conees-
sions from her.
"ThIs is by no means certain" argues
La Llberte. "If Great Britain seemB
luvulnerable there are many points In
her empire where she may be attacked.
Her name is not exactly venerated in
Ireland. where a revolution might break
out the moment war was declared; be-
sides which X seems fairly certain that
a strong Abysslnian force is rapidly
drawing near Fashoda."

,It- Peace Commissions.
PARIS, Nov. 3.-Last Monday the
United States and Spanish peace COM
nissloners left the definite limitations
OF the protocol and entered the wide
field OF diplomacy where an open ques-
tion Is TO be decided. Both commissions
realize that the area is ample enough
for some manoeuvering, though on the
American side the tendency Is to eVolu-
tions much more compact than those of
the Spaniards. Both would undoubted-
ly be gratIfed to reach a mutual con-
Clusion without comDulsion.
At Mondays session the American
commissioners laid down proposition
IN two parts: First, that the United
States should take over the Philippine
entire; second. that In so doing they
should reimburse to Spain the sum Of
her permanent and pacific expenditures
In the Philippines. The logic OF the silt
uat!on compelled the Americans to
make the first movement. Having heard
the American proposition the Spnniards
might have Immediately declined u, as
they certainly will do at tO-morr6w's
session. whether theE will accompany
the refusal with n counter proposition
has not been definitely ascertained,
though at a late hour this evening that
course seems improbable.
The result will be that the commls-
slons VIII retire from the confronting
positions until one or the other shall
have reformed its lines for the next
meeting, which will probably occur next
week. II the Spanish commissioners en-
tertain hope that after the election
IN the United States the American COM
mlssoners will relax their demands as

ed It here for the public ear; nor has
anything been said or done by any
member OF the United States commits
