1'AiUS , Nov. 29. ( New York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) Tomorrow the
secretaries will present the first three arti
cles for approval and the Aincricaiii will
mt In articles embodying proposaln for suc
ceeding articles referring to political prison
ers , religious liberty and the Carolines , and
oftcrlng 11,000,000 for Strong's Island.
PARIS , Nov. 29. The secretaries of the two
icuco commissions. Messrs. Moore and
JJeda , began their Joint task of formulating <
lhaiartlcles of the peace treaty at 3 o'clock
this afternoon , as directed by their re
spective' commissions at yesterday's confer
ence. This work will be cnsy and rapid as
: o the rellnqulshment and cessions referred
to In the protocol , the terms of which docu
ment will be transferred bodily to the treaty.
The secretaries , moreover , will embody la
tentative articles , for discussion on Wednes
day , the subjects of the religious freedom
of the Caroline Islands , a naval station for
the United States In the same group , cable
ending rights at other points within Spain's
lurlsdlctlon , the release ot the Insurrectionist
prisoners and the revival of the trcatlci
broken by the war.
Thus the commercial and general treaty
of 1795 will bo revived , to bo recast later ;
the treaty of 1834 , for the settlement ol
certain claims , will be revived ; the treatj
of 1877 , providing for extradition , will to
revived ; the trademark treaty ot 1882 will
bo revived and the supplemental extradi
tion treaty of 1882 will bo revived , in addl-
tlon to several modus vlvendl agreements.
Uiitlrp Treaty Submitted.
It la expected that the secretaries will
submit the treaty articles at the Joint MB-
slon tomorrow , when all the other points foi
negotiations will bo discussed. Thus th
commissions tomorrow will have before
them the entire treaty tor amendment , ap
proval or rejection.
On all the , jr-1 v rjutaide of the protocol
there will bo Irlenilly negotiations only ,
Spain having the right to name prices , it
wants for its territory , and to reject or
S rt A rtcart/nffw * . The , Spaniards ,
'no 'less than the ' Americana , now are
(
anxious to conclude the business which
brought them hero.-
Th Soleil , reviewing the situation at
length , says : "Probably the greatest dif
ficulty the United States has before It will
be the strong differences of opinion In the
senate and house on the question of ter
ritorial expansion. "
The Petit Bleu says :
All the friends of Spain will congratulate
It .on having put on end to thcso painful
negotiations and finished this sad .chapter
in Its history. Those ot the United States
can , on the other hand , regret , perhaps that
they ahould not have shown themselves
more' generous In victory and that they
should havB too easily forgotten the dis
interested and philanthropic motives In tha
name of which th > y undertook the war.
They cannot see , either without some dis
appointment , the sudden and complete break
ing down of the principles that have made
the greatness and prosperity of their re
public , and they anxiously ask themselves
what influence the policy ot conquest will
have upon their destinies and upon the
world. The Monroe doctrine Is now out of
date. The American republic , conquering
and colonizing , no longer has the right to
close to Europe the new continent , slneo
it itself has stepped out of it.
Sonndu Wnrnlnir Note.
The Temps says : "From the outlet the
Americans have negotiated on the principle
of take It or leave It , and have covered their
claims by a sort ot sanctity. "
Continuing , the Temps asks : "If the tri
umph to call It so Is complete , may It not
contain grave elements of danger and
anxletyy to the Americans. The transAtlantic
tic democracy ( has become imperialistic and
a republic founded on federalism and auton
omy has become a conquering one. From
an international point of view thla means
a repudiation of the Monroe doctrine and
the entrance of America into the conflicts
and intrigues of the great powers and its
harshness to Spain it the cause of much
anxiety as to its relations with other pow
ers. "
The Temps also expresses the opinion that
Spain has purchased peace with the United
States at the expense of internal turmoil.
The Journal Des Debate says : "Tho Amer
icana , having started out to liberating Cuba ,
have ended with pocketing what remained
of Spain's colonies. This moral evolution ot
tho' Americans la edifying as a good exam
ple of tbo manner in which one can , almost
In good faith , arrive nt the formulation of
the most outrageous demands by a confusion
of ambition and duty at once , by consider
ing an Interest to be a divine right. Now
that America 'has ' entered 'the arena of In
ternational politics It may have some lively
surprises in store even for those who iiavo
been so ready to offer their friendship. "
Will DC Ilcmly Today.
As a result of the work of Mr. Moore
and Senor Ojeda the draft of the articles
embodying the protocol agreements wai
completed thla afternoon. It will be pre
sented to the commissions tomorrow In
the morning In their separate sessions and
In the afternoon at the joint scslon when
It will receive final consideration , Tuera
will be little delay on these articles.
Mr , Moore will also submit tomorrow to
the United States commissioners the sub
jects to be presented to the Spaniards for
negotiations. These are being drafted Into
the form of articles.
The release of the Insurgent prisoners held
by Spain will go Into the protocol agree
ments , It having been already agreed that
Spain Is to release them upon the United
States undertaking to secure the release
of the Spanish prisoners In the hands ot
Agutnaldo. This question is so intimately
related to the peace treaty that It has been
removed from the subjects that are mat
ters ot negotiation and has been embodied
In the articles containing the protocol
agreement.
