In view of the phase which the disagreement between the United States and Spanish commissioners has reached over the question of the Philippines it is not likely that any material progress will be made in the negotiations today. It is said at the state department that no report was received from Judge Day yesterday and that none is expected until after today's session. This lack of information is accepted as an indication that there have been no developments in the situation.
