Habang ito naman ay ginagawa, ang mga kasapi ng American Peace Commission ay patalikod na nakipag-usap sa mga kinatawan ng Espanya sa Paris, France, upang isuko ng mga Kastila sa mga Amerikano ang kanilang kapangyarihan sa mga teritoryong nasasakupan nila kabilang na ang Pilipinas. Nang mapagtibay noong Disyembre 10, 1898, tinawag itong Treaty of Paris.
