The rumors in circulation here that the American fleet was on the point of starting for Europe, caused great excitement in commercial circles. The Daily Graphic says this mornfleet ing; Tlie Spanish has been ordered to be prepared for a renewal of hostilities, and the forts in the Canary islands are being rapidly manned. Madrid, Nov. 10. Accord ing to semiofficial statements here, the Spanish peace commissioners will maintain 16. trans-Atlant- ic their present attitude in regard to the Philippine islands, and will certainly not accept the conditions of the United States. Further, if the discussion does not return to the limits of the protocol, as viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish commission have decided, in epit of contrary reports, not to sign a treaty of peace. It is also learned from the same sources that complete accord prevails between the Spanish government and its peace commissioners. Washington, Nov. 16. Administration officials do not share the opinion expressed in some quarters that the Paris peace commission will fail in its efforts to agree upon a treaty. The opinion is not based upon any specific information received from Paris, but rather upon the fact that by withdrawing from the conference, Spain has nothing to gain and all to lose. It is undoubtedly true that should the Spaniards adopt this course, they would sacrifice the indemnity this government is now disposed to grant, and would also precipitate trouble for themselves all along the line. The United States undoubtedly would immediately take forcible possession of the entire Philippine group and at once enter upon a military and naval campaign which would end only upon an unconditional surrender of whatever territory this government might see fit to demand.
