MAIN POINT UNAFFECTED
GERMANY'S SLY GAME TO AID

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-It can be stated that no hitch has occurred in the proceedings of the Peace Commission at Paris, and an impression to the con- trary in certain quarters probably arose through a misunderstanding of the phase those proceedings have reached. With the acquiescence by the Spanish Commissioners in the American de- mands set out in the original protocol all danger of a failure to reach the point of signature of a peace treaty disappeared, and that such a treaty will be forthcoming. covering at least all of the protocol points, is considered as- sured. What is now going on in Paris is a negotiation respecting certain ob- jects which the United States Govern ment seeks to accomplish in that man. ner instead of resorting to the more usual but more tedious method of cor respondence between the two Govern ments. These objects have been clearly stated in general terms in the cable dispatches from Paris, namely, the &C., quisition of one of the Caroline Islands
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-03

as cable station and coaling station; of certain rights to land cables on Spanish possessions at other points; the procurement of freedom of religious worship in the Carolfnes, and the re- vival of certain treaties of trade and commerce, etc.
 But, as stated, these matters are purely the subjects of diplomatic ne- gotiation, and do not in any way affect the conclusion of the D Ice treaty. They might all fail to be realized, and still the treaty would not be affected. Moreover, while Spain was the subject of peremptory demands in the case Of the protocol points, she is free of com- pulsion now, while these diplomatic ex- changes are in progress. She may sell to the United States one of: the Caro- line Islands, or may refuse to do so, and, moreover, if we buy the islands it must be at a price satisfactory to Spain. She may sell the Caroline group to Germany instead of the United States if she can obtain a better price from the former. There is good req son to assume the correctness of the re- port that Germany is, even now, bar gaining for these islands. All the other points covered by these negotiations likewise are a matter for mutual ar engagement and not of demand.
 The statement that Spain has re- fused to sell us Ceuta, opposite Gibral- tar, for coal and cable station is in- accurate; the United States Govern ment has not made any such proposi- tion for the acquisition of that island and would hesitate very long before entering upon the turbulent field, Of actively involved in the assumption of territory in the neighborhood of the Mediterranean.
 The case is different respecting the CarolineS. The American naval experts have urged very strongly that this group as a whole be retained if possi- ble, and in addition that the Pelew group, lying to the westward, be pur- chased. They have nointed out that the southernmost island of the Ladrone group, Waloa, lies only 300 miles north of Ponape, in the Carolines, and the Pelew Islands are only about 500 miles distant from the Philippines. With these the United States would have a complete chain of islands located at convenient distances more than half way across the Pacific.
 Moreover, the vast bulk of trade in that quarter of the world passes di- rectly through the natural channel be- tween the Ladrones and the Carolines, of which the United States would have command If Germany is able to out bid the United States for these islands she may obtain them, but. suspicion is entertained that the naming of $2,000,- 900 was inspired by friendly desire to get the best possible terms for Spain from the United States by rais- ing the price of the goods
 | One of the pledges, which is almost as good as a treaty obligation In it's force even now, is that the United
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-03

States, in return for the release of the political prisoners from Cuba and Por- to Rico, held by Spain, will secure the release of the Spanish prisoners held by Aguinaldo.
 There has been an almost daily dis patch from General Otis announcing the arrival of transport there loaded with United States troops, and the War Department is fairly confident of it's ability now to undertake the full con- trol of the islands with the assistance of the naval contingent under Admiral Dewey. It is realized that the task of inducing Aguinaldo to surrender the captives, for whom he has demanded such an extravagant ransom-$1, 800, 900 under penalty of cutting their threats is going to be difficult one; but, after all, the. United States Commissioners in Paris have only undertaken that the United States Government shall use it's best efforts to secure the release of the prisoners; they have not pledged the Government to perform the impossible.

AGUINALDO WILL ASSUME
 A C0NCILIATORY ATTITUDE

MANILA, Dec. 2-Owing to the fact that the result of the Paris conference has long been anticipated here, the agreement of Spain to cede the Philip pine Islands to the United States ere ated no excitement. The Americans made no demonstration, commercial circles were relieved, the Spaniards were indifferent, and some of the American volunteers were disgusted at the prospect of being detained here now that the fighting is finished.
 Aguinaldo is certain to assume conciliatory attitude, because his po- sition is daily becoming more unten- able. His rival intriguers are becoming uncomfortable, especially since funds have run short and the outlying prov inces have become disaffected. AL though never much more than a figure head, AguinaldO has been consistently temperate, and the authorities have no reason to fear that he will depart from this policy. Nevertheless, the native newspapers continue to publish 1n- fiammatory articles. The Republica Filipina to-day publishes an article headed ''The Moment Has Arrived" When the conference terminated it's labors," says this paper, "the Filipinos had already conquered all of the island of Luzon and the adjacent islands. ex- cept the towns of Iloilo, Cebu, Layte and Samarillo. Therefore, Spain has ceded authority which she did not pos sess. The Filipinos will never consent to the ignominy of being treated as chattels. They will shed their blood in torrents again before lowing to foreign dominion, however light. America brought the great chief Aguinaldo from Hongkong and recognized our nation aHty by allowing our flag to be raised at Corregidor Island ard to sail the bay in full sight of all the foreign fleets. None dared to interefere. If America now declines to openly acknowledge our independence a great injustice will be committed. Had Spain asked $40,O00,- 900 for the islands, the Filipinos would gladly have given twice that amount or more to preserve their rights ruth lessly set aside by the enemy and the nation without true understanding of the aspirations, rights and sacrifices of those who have. stood torture enough and who are left to fight and suffer in defense of their country from new slavery"
 In conclusion the article afflrms the friendship of the Filipinos for Ameri- cans, insists that the insurgents will never fire the first shot, and adds that the harmony existing will only be broken by priests or traitor inducing the Americans. to attack us."

If the Philippines are to be effectively occupied large navy and transport power will be necessary. The United States must show themselves ready to repel any attempt on the part of other powers to attack a position which, for some time, can hardly be regarded as secure, or to assert claim to share in the spoils of disorganized con- quest"
