PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE clerical force
OF the American peace commission was
busy nearly all last night in translat-
ing the Spanish memorandum presented
at yesterdays joint session, While the
translators and typewriter we're ren-
derlng the Spanish argument into
printed English, counsel for the Amsri-
can commission studied 1t sheet by
sheet, making notes Of records to be
examined and of Law points bearing on
the matter in hand. AS result when
the Americans gathered for their daily
session to-day the Spanish present
ment lay before them In English, ready
for consideration and accompanied by
data bearing upon 1t.
No unofficial person knows the con-
tents OF the document presented by tine
Spanish commissioners yesterday, but
II Is safe to assume that, added to her
inslstence on the reservation OF her
Philippine sovereignty, and her PROPOSE
tion to arbltFate the construction OF the
third article Of the protocol, Spain has
made two other important statements:
First-That on the high ground OF
financial problty She cannot allow any
discussion here Of the validity Of her
action in pledging the resources OF the
Philippines for the payment OF the
Philippine debt.
Second-That In connection with the
American proposal to reimburse Spain
for her pacific expenditures In the
Philippines, she cannot admit of any
inquiry as TO how she has spent the pro-
ceeds OF the loans based on the Philip
pine pledges.
II Spain has assumed this attitude,
and It is believed she has done so, she
practically compels the American COM
mlssioners to consider at least the en-
tire Philippine debt and its assumption
by the United States, or the Philippine
Islands as a condition to Spain's amica-
Bile surrender Of her sovereignty over
those islands.
Il is difficult to understand how the
Americans can reply to this in any 9TH
er manner than by strictly outlining
their position and giving the Spaniards
a time -lImit in which to accent ,pfap-
oSltions of-the United States. But che
American commissioner may patiently
continue their endeavors to arrive atan
amicabie understanding on the sub
ject.
