Upon Which This Government
Would Gr nt Peace.
Washington, July 26. Spain
his enough of this war, and
what is more important, she
knows it. Yesterday afternoon
the Spanish government, acting
through the medium of the
French ambassador, announced
this fact to the president, and
with th.it announcement peace
negotiation were formally begun
All that has been officially stated
concerning the peace overtures
mi le through \1 Cain bon yes
terday afternoon is included in
this brief bulletin, which was
given out at the white house a
few minutes before 5 o’clock It
reads: •
“The French ambassador on
behalf of the government of
Spain ami by direction of the
Spanish minister for foreign af
fairs presented to the president
this afternoon at tlie white house
: nmssage from the Spanish
government looking to the ter
mination of the war and the set
tlement of terms of peace,”
Though nothing else official is
given out concerning this con
ference between the French am
bassador ami the president, sev
eral other important facts aic
known. Two questions were
ft-Led the president. First, was
th s government willing to en
tertain the suggestion of peace ;
and second, if so, would the
president indicate upon what
term* pe; ce would be consider
ed. To both of these question?
the president replied in the af
firmative—this gpvern m e n t
would entertain a peace proposi
tion and he would within a few
days indicate upon what terms.
Tlreriwas nothing more to
the m< singe delivered to the
president than i-s covered by
thus- two questions. There were
110 suggestion of terms by Spain
Nothing of that kind was expect

natural means of securing the
end she desires. She has cried
“enough” and asks her conquer'T

Washington, July 27. —S.mator
rgau, of Alabama, senior demo
craiic member of the foreign rela
tions committee of the senate, re
gards the peace proposals as a sign
of Hubmusion by Spain.
“ fine power of Spam ie broken.”
said he touighq “and it is plain
that there ib nothing to stop us
now <hortcf the Spanish border.”
Concerning the terms of peace
•'eintor Morgan has clearly dtfin
t-d -d a h
“My 4i st proposition,” he ex
>lained,“ W'>uid be the complete
urrem er by Spain < f all territory
ver which In r H.jj H »ats
t his would include Cuba, Porto
iliCo, the Philippines, the Carolin
es ami ihe Ladrones. I won d make
this urrender the subject of a
-.-‘epa ate and <*xciu»ivj treaty. 1
would demand of Sp un asuriendei
unconditional in every particular
and without any reference to what
we may w ish to do with the ternto
ry hereafter. I would not allow ary
•its’ or ‘ands’ about it I’his treaty
should be in such terms that the
United >S ates can be free to act
withi ut any conditions, and it
should be the first proposition on
which to base peace. .
“I wouid also demand as one of
the first <kfiid i ttion aof prisoners
trona Cuba. Port') Rrco or the Phi
'ipptnes I should ties all who have
bean imprisoned because of partici
pation id the insurrection.
“After this treaty covering the
surrender of dominions and release
of political pr.s uers has been con
cluded,” he continued, “I would
tak-j up the matter of war indem
nity. This covers several topics,
some of which I do not care to dis
cuss at this tim >. Individually, 1
should want to consider the mat
ter of a coaling station in the
Canary islands, <ft’ ihe coast of
Africa.
“Further, I Would require.” ad
ded .Senator Morgan, “gnarautve
from Spain that she will assume
all responsibility for anv debts
that might prove a lien upon
uba —or upon Porto Rico and the
Philippines, for phat matter.”

Thinks Spain Will not be Abln
to Pay Indemnity

A GERMAN WAR VESSEL
Sent to the Caroline Islands A
Third Class Ship
London, July “7. —A dispatch
from Nagasaki, lapan, says rh: t
the G.rman third class cruis-i
Arconi, with supplies for three
months has sailed for the Cur dine
i< ands.
The Lend in morni..g papers
agree that it wi'l be imp issib 1 - for
Spain to pay indemnity and that
it is impossible that the United
Statss will demand money com
pensation. They all concede th it
the Spanish fl g has g<r.je forever
from Cuba nnd Pur'o Rico.
The qiies iivi of the 'uture of
he Philippine islands is un ver
sa Iv admitted a« pr'seuting gr v>
difficultieo, owing to thu iinp-s -
bility of granting in lepeno. iic-
Tlih general opinion is ilia' liit
United St ites will retain a c•>, 1-
mg station and have a reversi n in
he islands.
The Daily News says: “I would
be an act of ext’erne g<m ros't> to
leave Spain in p<ras-Bsion of the
*.alandf>, but gener ally is m»i al
ways the beat policy. If the U iimd
States should be content with such
a reward of its labors as would
leave the Philippines to Spain, it
would aet the world an example of
conspicuous magnanity.”
The Daily Chronicle thinks that
uiin > kind of international pr -
'ectorate ov r the Philippines
should be arranged.
The Daily Mail says:
“We h ipe President McK'nley
will be moderate. Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines should
be ample compensation without
indemnity,”
Tne Times in an editorial this
morning app'auding Spiin lor ac
cepting the inevitable, advises her
to “face the facts of the political
situation with the sauu courogn
which st cured the respect of th-
Am-tricans on the battlefield.”
Discussing th) probable term
of peace, Th -1 Times eayi-:
“The United States will prob
ably take Porto Rico in lien ot a
money indemnity and it would b
best for the world at large it
America boldly undirt »k ihe
burden of giving Cuba and the
Philippines a strong, honest gov
ernment through American offi
cial*.
“If Spain is permitted to re
a-suniH sovereignty over the Phil
ippin* b she will have to eng >ge i
a war o conquest which might be
uttend-d wnns ri us cons-queue, s
