It Is Asserted by One Frenchman That the Meeting of the Commits

He Says Spain Will Eot Consent to the Giving Up of Eanila and tile Is- land Of LHz0a Unless the Unit

Paris, Sept. 2S.-While the reception accorded the United States peace com mission here is all that could be desired, and while the French foreign office has taken great pains to treat the American and Spanish commissioners precisely in the same manner, it must be admitted the general atmosphere does not incline towards America. It is generally the impression here that the American com missioners have instructions to provide for the rete ntion of Manila and the is- land of Luzon
 For the commission to pretend tone- gotiate is q farce, said prominent di- plomat He concluded: America will put herself, automatically. in wrong when she exceeds the provisions of the protocoTwhieh both nations signed. know the Spaniards have come prepared to make concessions; but fl the Ameri- can commissions instructions arc of an uncompromising nature, which IS gener- e1ally believed here will be the case, you can rest assuNed that the work of the commission will be futile. The Spaniards will retire and America will at least have to threaten the resumption of hostilities before she will regain her point"
 French newspapers, beyond announce ing the arrival of the commission, make no comment upon the matter.

The suit of rooms which the former empress at one time used, will probably be ac- quired by the American peace oommis- sioners. They will be used for exeeu- tive sessions and as official Headquarters.
 As the joint commission is not a de- Lucrative body 1t will, possibly, not or ganize with $ presiding member from either commission. This is deemed in some quarters to be the wiser plan, tend ing to promote closer working relations between the two commissions, facilitat- ing an unltimate adjustment. This, however, is not positive.
 Judge Day and Whitelaw Reid are quartered in the hotel overlooking the fuileries gardens and the other commis- sioners are equally as comfortable. The Americans enjoyed the sunny weather during the first day in Paris. They are all in good health and spirits.
