SIGNIFICANT INTERVIEW.
Abarzuza Said Spanish Commission Might
BE In Paris For Another
Fortnight.

PARIS. Nov. 25.-The Spanish com.
missioners will likely submit their final
answer to the American propositions to.
morrow.
The correspondent of The Associated
Press asked Senior Abarzuza if the COM
missions would be able to leave Paris
next week with the treaty, and he re.
piled, with sidelong glance, as though
to observe whether his questioner noted
the significance of the reply:
81 suppose we shall be here for
another fortnight"
why" the Spanish commissioner
was asked, ''is the opinion expressed sc
emphatically by portion Of the Paris
press that you will decline the $1,000
600, but will sign the treaty with pro.
test that you do so only under the pres.
sure of superior power %
"Well it does seem that $40, 900, 900 is
not very satisfactory"
This was the semi-evasive manner in
which the Spanish diplomat answered
the question.
His questloner continued: "Then, it
has been affirmed that Spain will re-
fuse to sign the treaty, decline the
money offered and make protest to
the powers and that her commissioners
will go home. Is that the most likely
result %
"Ah! but we should not anticipate;
we should know day by day what hap
pens day by day
''And so you anticipate fortnight
more of daily developments here?'
.'Ah yes. A fortnight. Perhaps
some affairs may be attended to in that
time"
