Paris, Oct.
mission met at four o’clock yesterday
’nfternoon and adjourned at 5.15.
The commissioners refused all infor-
mation regarding the proceedings of
the meeting.
Judge Day gave out that he could on-
ly say that the commission had ad-
journed until two o’clock to-day. The
correspondent is informed, however,
from a good source, that the brevity of
the adjournment is indicative of the
fact that a serious crisis has arisen.
The informant said that it would be a
mistake, however, to take an alarmist
view of the situation.
The Spanish commissioners left the
meeting room at 5.30 o’clock. One of
them said that the Spaniards had giv-
en the Americans some information re—
specting the Cuban debt which tn:
latter would consider by the time set
for the meeting of the commission to-
day.
It is learned from a good source that
the Spaniards think the American gov-
ernment is under a misapprehension
respecting Spain’s policy.
The Washington government thinks
that the government at Madrid wants
to dillyl‘dally to gain time, whereas all
that the Spanish government desires
is to obtain suflicient concessions after
the war to enable her to live honestly
and pay her debts.
The Spanish commissioners, this in-
formant says, have come to Paris to
make a treaty of peace enabling Spain
to remain a nation. They wish to avoid
the absolute ruin of the country, hence
their pertinacity in contesting vital
points.
The Spanish commissioners are not
greedy. They are willing to make large
sacrifices according to the adage "Vac
victis" (woe to the vanquished), but
naturally hesitate to Sign the country’s
death warrant. '
Madrid, Oct. 27.—The resignation of
