SENOR RIOS’ TALK OF WITHDRAWING. ident of the Spanish Commissiou's | olitical Effect The Pi Attitade Assumed for Prediction as to What Spain Will Do the London Newspapers Picased at “Open Door” Policy. Washington, Nov. Spain will not be resumed. Spain's peace commissioners, reluctantly and | under protest, will sign a treaty of | peace within less than a fortnight, embodying in full all the demands} made by the United States. This is the confident belief of President Me- Kinley and the members of the cabi- net, based upon the logic of the situa- tion as well as upon official dispatches received by Secretary Hay from Judge Day, the chairman of the Americar commission, yesterday evening. Many sensational stories came fr Paris yesterday morning announci breaking off of peace negotiations, but the authorities here showed anxiety and calmly av from Mr. Day, which came text of these dispatches has not been made public, but it is said that after the meeting in Paris yesterday Senor tios, the head of the Spanish com sion, was very muche ted and talked of refusing to participate longer in the proceedings. His anger, however, is understood to be personal rather than official. There is nothing in Judge Day’s cablegram, a member of the cabinet said last night, to indicate the slightest belief in his mind that the bombastic attitude of Senor I would result in the breaking off of ne- gotiations. The administration has not been un- prepared for such a demonstration as that which Senor Rios is reported to have made. The president has been led to believe that the president of the War os Spanish commission would, for per- sonal and political reasons, take a bold stand against signing away the colonial possessions of Spain, but the administration at the same time has been advised not to give undue weight to this attitude. It is upon the as- sumption that the Spanish envoy is playing a part that the president and his advisers base their prediction that a treaty will be signed; yet the fact must not be lost sight of that this is largely an assumption. Prediction as to What Spain will Do. Paris, Nov. 22.—The Spanish peace commissioners last night telegraphed to Madrid the substance of the United States memorandum presented yest day and later in the evening they wer discussing it among themselves. As late as one o'clock this morning a Spanish commissioner affirmed that he and his colleagues did not know what to do regarding the American offer. There is a difference of opinion among unofticial people near the commissions, but the prediction is made that Spain will decline the American offer of money; that she will refuse to cede the Philippines and will say to the United States: You take the archipelago because you have the power todo so. As you advance we will recede protesting against gre on. Ye will faithfully carry out o rt of the pledges.and leave Cuba and Porto Rico in your hands You came here to engage ina discus- sion under the terms of the protocol, but you evidently meant when drawing up that docu- ment to provide a conference in which. thc we differ, man to man, you proposed to nounce at the proper time what you y whether we agree to it or object. Such a titude robs the conference of a negotiat character and sets up the United States as dominant power whose first purpose is t but whose ultimate determination is to do own will Pleased at the “Open Door” Policy. London, Nov. 22.—Most of the after- noon papers comment upon and ex press satisfaction at the ‘‘open door” intentions of the United States in the Philippine islands) The Pall Mall Ga- zette says: Whatever may happen in ‘P: eventually in the United State America’s colonial policy in the Paci “open door.” It is a wise decisi ground, in the interests of the y the Philippines themselves and good will of nations r its two English- spe: aking gy nations are nitely assured.
