SPAIN OBSTINATE YET.
According to a Paris Dispatch, Mad
drid Hopes to Temporize.
NEW RUMOR ON CUBAN DEBT.
The GaulOis Has 1t That Our Conn
mission VIII Guarantee Local
Obligations Incurred In the
Islands Development.

Paris, Oct. 81. THE Spanish peace
| commissioners have not yet received
from Madrid instructions to bid adieu
to Cuban sovereignty without further
seeking to attach some condition pro-
viding for the assumption Of the Cuban
debt by the United States.
If they are as at present disposed and
instructed, the Spaniards will not. at
| Fridays meeting, recognize amrma-
| lively the United States position
They apparently intend not to yielo
and will make another written present.
| ment and expect an extended discus
| sion thereon. Whether they Will re-
ceive. as to Cuba, the American ulti-
! matum Of terms and time must be
then developed.
Should they reject American insist
ence the Spaniards, while recognizing
the physical power Of the United States
against unaided Spain, will humbly ex-
tend their palms upward and shrug
their shoulders. They regard the situa-
ton as pitiable and are not averse to
any sympathy 1t may excite.
They affirm that the American an
swer to their debt propositions is very
long and that they have not yet had
time to mediate fully.
VIII Assume Local Debts.
The Gaulois asserts that political mo-
tives are at the bottom of the postpone
ment of Wednesdays session of the
peace commission.
The American commissioners, the "a
per argues, replied to certain argument
on the part of the Spanish by declaring
that the United States would definitely
refuse to accept the whole Cuban debt,
though they were prepared to guaran-
tee the local debts incurred in Cuban
development.
This contention on the part OF the
Americans was submitted by the S an
iards to the Madrid government, which
delayed it's answer; hence the postpone
ment.
Respecting the Philippines, The Gau-
lois says it Is learned from trust
worthy source that when the protocol
was drafted and was submitted prior to
signature to the Madrid government,
the Sagasta cabinet agreed to it's terms
provided that Spain's sovereignty over
the islands shall be maintained intact.
The Washington government offered
no objection to this, and Spain there
upon approved the protocol, containing
a vague clause referring to the occu-
patton of Manila.
