LIKELY TO TAKE FULL TIME A Counter I’roposel That WeiGive for the $100,000,000 Instead of $20,000,000. No Doubt That Spain Will Philippines Sign the Treaty of Peace. Madrid, Nov. 26.——After visiting the queen regent yesterday in order condole with her majesty on the' anni- versaly of the death of her husband, King Alfonso XII, who died on No— vembe1 25,1885, the ministers met in council. They Were occupied exclusively with the consideiation of the peace ques- tion. Eventually the council unanimously approved the instructions to Senor Montero Rios, president of the Span- ish peace commission, drawn up by the foreign and colonial ministers. which were telegraphed to Paris in the evening. ‘ ‘i-fhile the ministers were reserved r1 :arding the instructions sent to the f‘nanish commissioners, it is believed 3 Philippine question will :be settled 1 1 Monday next. Premier Sagasta was asked if Mon- day’s session would see the close of the Paris conference, and the signing of the treaty of peace. He replied: “Who knows? May be a fresh inc!- dent will arise or further consultations or exchanges of views will be neces- sary.” The Liberal says: “The cabinet dis— agreed yesterday as to the reply that should be sent to Senor Rios. But it is believed that it has decided wheth- er it will or will not instruct the Spanish commissioners to sign the treaty 613 pence.” 1.3.x} . :1» ‘1 S1 ain‘s Proposals. Paris, Nov. 26.~—It is new known that Spain will exhaust her time limit, which expires on Monday, before re- plying to the American offer regarding the Philippine islands.’ In the meanwhile the Spaniards are canvassing the entire field and ex- hausting every resource to postpone the inevitable. ' , As cabled‘on Wednesday, they could not accept the American ultimatum as ultimate without asking if it really were so. That applied to the time'lim- it. Now the Spaniards apparently doubt the fixedness of the amount the Americans offered for the Philippines, and yesterday they sent a communi- cation to the American commissioners asking if the latter would accept a counter proposal by Spain to cede the Philippines for $100,000,000. Spain imagines the Americans might be willing to lop off the great island of Mindanao from the Philippines and pay Spain $50,000,000 for what would remain, instead of the $20,000,000 now offered for the entire archipelago. . Before giving’ up or turning away Spain will also propose that the Unit- ed States hold some part of the Caro- lines or the Canary islands, in addi— tion to the Philippines, on condition that Spain be permitted to retain her sovereignty in the Philippines. In other words Spain will cede. cer— tain territory in the Carolinas and Ca- naries in return for a nominal Spanish sovereignty in the Philippines, and, as a further inducement, will propose that the United States shall pay Spain no money on account of the Philippines. Night Meeting of Cabinet, Washington, D. C., Nov. 26.——A spec- ial meeting of the cabinet was held a: ten o’clock last night. All the mem— bers were with the president, except Secretary Long, who is out of the city. The meeting was called by the pres- ident in order that his advisors might consider with him advices received last evening from the American peace com- missioners at Paris. It is understood that the advices re~ lated to counter proposals informally made to the American commissioners by the representatives of the Madrid government. At the close of the meeting, which lasted only forty minutes, and was held in the parlors of the White 'House, Secretary of State Hay said that the president had received some advices from Paris that he desired to lay be- fore the cabinet and that he had cal- led the members together to consider them. The nature of the advices Mr. Hay declined to state. The Administration Confident. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 26.—The Spanish commissioners are evidently going to take the full time allowed them by the United States in the ulti- matum. The president and his cabinet now feel fully assured that Spain will sign the treaty of peace, and that the an- swer at the next meeting of the com- mission will be satisfactory. A.

Word. comes from Cuba. that lists of the officers and men have already been completed, and as soon as the men can be paid in part for their sier- vices the army will be disbanded. The members of the commission were a little startled at the utterances of Domingo. Mendez Capote, formerly vice president of the Cuban republic, which have been cabled to this coun- try. Capote, who was here not many months ago, declares that Cuba will in the end be annexed to this country and that in the end he has no doubt that ninety-five per cent. of the Cu- bans will vote for annexation. At present, however, he declares the sole wish of every Cuban is for inde- pendence pure and simple. Tho" Cu- bans want to have the satisfaction of seeing their flag in the galaxy of re— publics, and will stop at nothing short of that for which they fought- so long. After they have had a taste of lib- erty, however, under their own man- agement, they will want to come into the United States, Capote declares. As to what he himself wants he does not say.
