Spaniards fired, unfortunately killing

Parisians Have a Leaning Toward

The Suite of Rooms Which the Former
Empress at One Time Used Will
Probably BE Acquired by the
American Commission.

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-While the reception
accorded the United States peace COM
mission here is all that could be de-
sired, and while the French foreign
the American and Spanish commits
sioners in precisely the same manner,
it must be admitted that the general
atmosphere of Paris, especially the
diplomatic atmosphere, does not in
cline toward America.
It is the general impression here
that the American commissioners have
instructions to provide for the reten-
ton of Manila and the island of Lu-
zon, ''and for a commission to pretend
to negotiate is farce" said prom
inent diplomat He continued:
America will put herself, diplo-
matically, in the wrong when she ex-
ceeds the provisions of the protocol,
which both nations signed. know
the Spaniards have come prepared to
make concessions; but, if the Ameri-
can instructions are of an uncompro-
missing nature, which is generally be-
lieved here to be the case, you can rest
assured that the work of the commits
sion will be futile. The Spaniards
will retire and America will at least
have to threaten resumption of hos
tilities before she will gain her point. :"
The French newspapers, beyond
announcing the arrival of the commits
sioners, make no comment upon the
matter.
The American peace commission, for
the first time since its appointment,
met as body Tuesday for two hours
in the drawing room of the Continental
hotel.
Mr. Ferdinand w. Peck, the United
States commissioner to the Paris ex-
position of 1900 is about to vacate his

Empress Eugene and have been used

manent offices on the exposition
grounds were in readiness.
The suite of rooms which the former
empress at one time used will prob
ably be acquired by the American
peace commissioners. They will be
used for executive sessions and official
headquarters.
AS the joint commission is not de.
Lucrative body, it will. possibly, not
organize with a presiding member
from either commission.
This is deemed in some quarters to
be the wiser plan, as tending to pro-
mote closer working relations between
the two commissions and facilitating
an ultimate adjustment. This how
ever, is not positive.
