FlatIy Refuse the American Proposals.

Paris, Nov 1.-The Spanish com
missioners, in the course of two
hours session of the peace confer
ence today, fatty refused to accept
Mondays proposition by the Ameri-
cans to take the entire Philippine
group and to reimburse Spain for her
'pacific" expenditures there.
1t was further held today BY Senior
Rios and his colleagues that the cap
itulation of Manila having occurred
after the signing Of the protocol, and
thus after the suspension of hostili-
ties, was invalid. With all this for
a ground work, the Spaniards made
their first positive move against the
Americans, and it constituted their
counter proposition. They charged
upon the United States wrongful
appropriation of public moneys be-
longing to spain by Selling the tariff
duties at Manila, and they formerly
demand the return OF these moneys
in the sum of nearly $1,000, 900
OF these same premises the United
States was today declared to have
made and held as prisoners the Span
ish troops at Manila in violation Of
international law, because done after
the suspension of hostilities under
the protocol. A further charge was
that by the Imprisonment of the
Spanish troops at Manila the United
States had prevented Spain from quel-
ling the insurrection, and had thus
contributed to the violence against
Spain after the cessation of hostili-
ties.
