SPANISH-.COMMISSIONERS WEIGH WORD
A '
, / / ' f
Terniii-'IiiHertcd 'in ' Protocol to Spat
Tlielr 'Pride Arc ScUeil and
Tt\lNU-il In Their Klnnl
WASHINGTON , Nov. 17 , The , admlnl
tratlon Is well satisfied now with tbo ou
look for a successful termination of , tl
labors ot the peace commissioners In Par ]
W-riether this renewed confidence Is basi
upon an abstract ot the Spanish reply wliti
was submitted at yesterday's meeting
Is founded on private advices Indicating
weakening of the Spanish position is n
known , , but It Is probable that both of the
had an Influence In brightening the pro
pects. The Spanish reply was not a su
prise to the American commlMloncrs , w ]
In fact had prepared themselves In a
vance with Instructions received direct
from the- ' president and Secretary Hay f
a complete answer.
Still it was probably regarded as belt
policy and In accord with the arnenltlrs
official exchange that the Americans uhiu
do the ) Spanish commissioners tbe courtc
of giving deliberate consideration to the
carefully i prepared written arguments. B
with all > duo Intent to give 'proper wclg
to the Spanish representations , it must
cald that up to this point they havtTh
very llttlo effect In. Influencing tbo Amertc
commissioners ; not because of any obstni |
disregard of facts on their part , but t
the simple reason that almost every ono
the points made by the Spanish commi
aloners have been anticipated In the prep
ration ot the American case , no small tri
ut6 to the acumen nnd diligence of Jud
Day and Secretary John Moore.
Thd attempt of the Spanish commission !
to Induce the Americans to accept their cc
structlon of the meaning of the protoc
where It touches on the Philippines , has bo
a flat failure. The president himself V
party to the preparation of the protoc 1.
wa3 ho who , suspecting n purpose on 1
Spanish title to becloud the Issur and lea
open a door for tuluro escape ? from th ? cc
sequences of tha war , had swept aside as
much chtft the message of the 'Spanl h du
Almodovar de Rlos. and , reducing the e
mafids of the United States to what
called a precise l suc , had declared tl
the Spanish government might accept tl
aa an cxnct statement of the demands
the United States. Having made the dcx
ment , the president believes himself to
the person best competent to C'
struo Us meaning and thu Amrrlnn romm
oloners arc consequently acting In ce
formlty with his views.
M. Cunihon Uo erl 8inln.
Inasmuch as the Spanish are miking m
B'.ronuous rfforti to assert their eoverolgi
over the Philippines , all based upon tbe i
of the word "deposition , " Instead of "p
pcs-ilon , " In that part of the protocol
latlng to the future of the Philippines ,
may be stated lh t the Amerlctn comm
sloner's hfv been obliged to Mil attent

I First That on the high ground of flna

it cannot answer any Inquiry as to how It fa

What It Imtolle * .
If Spain has assumed this attitude and
\a \ believed It has done so , It practical
sompels the American commissioners
consider tbo assumption of the entire Phi
Ipplno debt by the Uulted States as a co ;
dltlod to Spain's amicable surrender of I
EONcrelgnty over those Islands. It Is dlf
cult to understand how the Americans c ;
reply to5 this In any other manner than 1
strictly- outlining It ? position and giving t
Spaniards a time limit In which to accc
" propositions of the Unite ! States. B
the American commissioners may patient
continue their "fcndeavors to arrive at i
amicable understanding.

WASHINGTON , Nov. 17. The yellow
over problem has been receiving earnest at
entlon of late from the officials here , par
ticularly from the Marine hospital service
nnd'tho War department , owing to the im
portant new refallons established with Cubs
and'other fever localities to the south of us
and''also bettaifao ol Ihe recurrence of the
disease within this country during the losi

'
The -purpose 'Is ' to preprtro' ' during thi
coming winter months for such an effl
uent cordon of protection around the coun-
: rythat the chaqcoa or a re-ln.troduc.tlon ol

force that the "shipping will bo free Iron
danger before U Is' out of Cuban waters
although the same rigid quarantine ft
American ports twlll be continued.
Besides thf nuarantlne , to provide agatns
the escape of diseases from the Island , th
authorities are now' considering plans fo
the'Internal sanitation of the Island on ai

War department may determine } to carry 01
the local sanitation In connection with It

* .To Have Fever Expert * .
Another" means of coping with the dlseas
probably will bo the stationing of a fore
of 'ever experts throughout the Island to re
port on the condltl n of contagion and'th '
appcArance of any now outbreak. The sur
geon general now has two of tljeso export
at Havana and one at Santiago , and this w.1
bo the nucleus of a much larger force. Tw
other experts , Surgeons Wasdln and Qea
dings , left here yesterday for Havana , rats
Ing the force there to four officers , beside
the subordinates and assistants. The wor
of Messrs. Wasdln and GcMdlngs Is consld
ered particularly' Important , ' as they ar
specially appointed by1 the-American' com
mtsslon'1'to''asc'cYtalniithe ' : causes of Vclloi
fever. This 'appointment was made 'about
