Paris, (Special).—The Spanish Peace
Commissioners have accepted the negative
view of the United State Commissioners to-
ward the proposed assumption by the Uait-
ed States of the Caban debt.
The American Commissioners have firmly
but courteously declined to assume for the
United States the entire or joint respensibi-
ity for the Spanish fluanclal ¢onditions.
Senor Montero Rios, the president of the
Spanish Commission, and his colleagues,
with faithful insistance, sought anothor re-
sult. Bat they failed to obtain it, and have
finally abapdoned the gffort, and have
agreed that the Cuban article of the proto-
col shall, without conditions, have a piace
in the ultimate treaty of peace. Though,
through several sessions, the Spanish Com-
missioners have had before them the irrevo-
cable presentation of their American col-
leagues, it was not until Monday that they
became absolutely convinced thut the Amer-
icans bad, from the outset of their refusal to
accept the Cuban debt, meant exactly what
they sald.
In spite of the fact that the Spanish Com-
missions had, as a background of their el-
forts, doubt of succeeding, their hope of so
doing has been so keen and their contention
bas been so vigorously prosecuted, that the
final conviction of their inability to win
their point brought to the Spaniards such a
shock and depression that there wera grave
doubts as to the continuance of the negotia-
tions.
In support of these statements is the fact
that Senor Mostero Rios, after Monday's
session, and on Tuesday last, would havere-
signed the presidency of the Spanish Peace
Commission, bad he not believed that his so
doing would have greviously shaken, even
it it had not diseated, Senor SBagasta’'s gov-
ernment. From this standpoint, if for po
other reason, Senor Montero Rios retained
his position, and acting under the econvietion
arrived at on Monday, the Spaniards an-
pounced that they would forego further ar-
gument on the Caban debt, and agreed that,
practically in the terms and absolutely in
the spirit of the protocol, the article about
Cuba should go forward into the final
treaty.
Thus Spain agrees to relinquish sover-
elgnty over and claim to Cuba withoul either
terms or conditions,
All differences, if they existed, regarding
Porto Rico and the selection of the island of
Guam, were also arranged by a mutual un-
derstanding, and the Commissioners found
themselves well-nigh touching the Philip-
pine question, whieh will be taken up this
week.

posse is operating in the swamps about a

The Governor and G sn, Henry are natur-
aliy counseling moderation, but fn the ex.
sited state of the publiz wind a great fear is
expressed that the posse will not regard the
suggestion favorably. Their presence, how
ever, will undoubtedly bave a great effect in
restraining the number of fatalities after
