tion which Tflnke9 the assembling of the entire -
tire congress necessary. This situatton enu
ho explained In a few words :
Under the law which provitics for the
' raising ot the volunteer nrmy , that army
goes out of existence as soon a the vnr
ceases ,
"When thin law was framed It was not
for a moment SUPPOSC(1 that nftcr Ilie vflr
hati OII(1C ( there wouhl be any necessity of
keeping thn army Intact , The developments
of the war make It very evident that In-
SteflI ( of semUng the army back to clvii life ,
fully 100,000 men will continue to be needed.
It is the present intention to distribute no
less than 50,000 soldiers throughout Cuba ,
with 10,000 in the PhilIppines and probably
20,000 , In I'nrto Rico. Under the law , as
soon as hostIlitIes cease the volunteer army
Is disbanded and the regular ormy goes
back to Its peace footing , thus leaving only
27,000 men In the service. This is a total
far too sniali for the work that will be required -
quired , Consequently the aid of congress
will be needed to frame new lawn which vill
keep an adequate army for garrison purposes -
poses ,
"In addition to this , laws must be passed
to meet the new renuirementa of government -
mont in the Philippines and Porte Rico.
'The president Is naturally averse to
calling' congress together during the hot
weather and it may be decided that the
war is not ended until tile senate has rati-
flel the treaty of peace. in this case congress -
gress will not meet until the first or middle
of Sepcmber , as it will take at least a
month or. eix weel < i for the full details of
the treaty to be discussed and framed. The
present outlook is , however , for no extra
session at. a much earlIer period , in the
hope that its work can be concluded before
the fall campaign has reachel its height , "

\VASI1INGTO , Aug. 1.-At tlu' French
embassy the following authorized statement
was made todayL
When the French nmbaasatlor went on
Saturday to the White Ilotiso 110 went fully
enabled to discuss , at the Spanish govern-
mont's point of view , the propositions of
the government of the United States.
These views of the Spanish government
were recoive(1 by M , Cambon subsequent
to his first visit of Tuesday to the presi-
dent.
dent.The
The foregoing constitutes all that the
F'ronth embassy would say with authority
on the subject , and It is the only statement
obtainable from an authorized source other
than these of an anonymous character , which
vlli give an understanding of the measure
of tlje ambassador's authority in represent-
log the views of Spata on the settlement of
peace.
Aside from the foregoing authorized state.
ment , and without giving them any author-
lied form because of their Juxtaposition with
the foregoing , considerable light can be
thrown upoa tim official character in which
the French ambassador had his three hours'
conference with the president on Saturday.
At the first meeting of the ambassador and
the president , M , Catnbon'g authority was
strictly lltflitel to that qf being the bearer
of Spain's communication , Ho had no aUthority -
thority whatever to speak In the name of
Spain beyond presenting Spain's communica-
tion. In yio'v , however , of the fact that
the United States government would make a
speedy reply to the Spanish proposition it
was deemed desirable that M. Camboa should
be clothed by the Spanish government with
a larger measure of authority ( lion that of
merely conveying and receiving communications -
cations passing between the two govern-
ments. Accordiugly , the desirability of this
course was made known to the authorities
at Madrid , The latter shored in the view
and as a result the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs , Duke Almadovar de Rio ,
cabled to the French embassy on inst Friday
changing and enlarging the scope of M.
Cambon's authority train that in which the
original Spanish proposition was presented.
The dispatch from Duke Almodovnr do Rio
was most complete In its dealings with the
subjects of controversy between the United
States and Spain which would be involved
in the discussion of terms of peace.
Besides treating each subject involved it
fully enabled the ambassador to discuss
from the Spanish government's point of
view the propositions about to be made
by the Unitetl States on all questions of
pence. Of course , between Tuesday and
Friday there was no time for mailing
written credentials , in the usual sense employed -
ployed in diplomatic intercourse. The matter -
ter being urgent , and about to culminate
in a meeting at the White House , thC in-
structiona were necessarily embraced in a
cable dispatch bearing the signature of the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs. Even
the dispatch was in cipher , so bat it
lacked those usual formalities of written
credentials by which the right of a diplomatic -
matic offlctal to express the direct views
of a foreign government are made known.
The essential point , however , free from
technicalities , was that M. Cambon received
from the Spanish minister of foreign affairs -
fairs these enlarged instructions , permitting
him to speak the views of Spain upon van.
Otis points at issue and thus to bring the
two governments , the United States and
Spain , into direct discussion. It waB under
such circumstances that ( lie French am-
hnacador anti his secretary , M. Thiebaut ,
made their notable call at the White House
Inst Saturday. M. Cambon was in posses-
sian of the enlarged instructions and the
conference proceeded with the ambassador
expressing the views of the Spanish govern-
mont. The omcial communicatIon when
made public , it is understood , will make this
authority of M. Cambon plain.

VAS1IINGTON , Aug. 1.-All eyes turned
today toward Madrid , for it was realized
that upon the Spanish cabinet depended the
restoration of poace. It was announced
bore , in a quarter that removed the Infor-
nation from any question of necuracy. that
the decision of the Spanish government
was not to be submitted before tomoow
at the earliest.
In the absence of any new phase In the
negotiations here today , spbeulntion iiittur-
ally turned backward toward the remarkable
meeting at the White House Saturday , itnd
great interest was manifested in every pat'-
ticular respecting that event. A ilieposi.
tion WtB shown in sohie 4uarters to que-
( bit the authority of the French ambassa-
tlor to act as lie did , representing Spain.
BIt it can be stated that , regardless of any
technical loint , such as tim absence of
signed , scaled and delivered mail credentials -
tials which , of course , could not reach hero
in the little time at Iland , that the presl-
dent regarded M. Cambon as duly qualified
to act as a representative of the Spanish
government in the negotiations , subject , at
course , as ae almost all ministers and ambassadors -
bassadors , to the reference of the work required -
quired by them to the government they reps
resent , for final approval.
( tunhificil to Coniluct Negotiations ,
M. Cambon made it so clear that ho Iiac
been (0113' instructed on every Point likely
to rise in the negotiations that. the president -
dent was satisfied that his accepting him
as tile representative of Spaip in this mattin
vast saving of time would be effected and
a poInt of tii utmost importance , that the
negotiations , would ho technically conductott
without thu interposition of any neutral
government.
However , any quostioii thttt might ] di.ve
arisen as to the powers of the French urn-
bassador was set At rest by a iiort , guarde1

embassy itself. Then discussIon turned , op
the nature of the change made at the instance -
stance of :11. Cambon in the list of American
demands. It was contended in some quarters -
ters that no change had boon made , in 0th.
era than an important modification had de-
velopod. As a matter of fact , as to the importance -
portance of this change there is a difforeno
of opinion between the partics , the adminla-
( ration looking upon it. as inconsequential ,
while M , Cambon attaches importance to IL
However this may he , as the administra-
tlon thinks the change is not consequential
-aOd it certainly does not affect the principle -
ciple of the ilocuinent-it might be well to
recapitulate briefly just what the demands
of the United States were.
As to Cuba , it is demanded that Spain Is
to release her government , possession and
control , It will be noticed that nnthln is
sntd of Cuban independence and that the
acceptance of this position leaves th
United States free to deal with the Island
as It may deem best.
Porto Rioo , with the small Islands aclia-
cent and embraced within her jurisdiction ,
is to be ceded unconditionally to the United
States. .

granted by Spain , are to be taken as part
payment in lieu of the full indemnity. What
further payment shall be required is to be
determined by a commission with authority
from the president to act , subject to his
approval. Whether Spain will retain poe-
session of the Philippines as a whole or in
part , is left to that commission to de-
tormine. The reason for deferring the do-
cislon as to the future of the islands in
this fashion is because the administration is
not yet satisfied itself ; it Is not clear at
this moment what sound policy should die-
tate in the matter ,

Meanwhile , and until the commission has

Rumors had ben current in 'ananla Prior
to July .3 , , when Commodore 'erryros an-
niyed there , concerning a strong agitation
throughout Peru against the United States ,
owing to differences between the two countries -
tries existing since 1885. There was , therefore -
fore , some significanee in the utterance of
President Pierota at the opening ot the 1'-
ruwlait congress at Llma last Tilureday.
During his addresa President Piorota said
that the national life of Peru was calm and
prosperous , and that 'the foreign relations
of the government were fnlendiy with the
solitary exception of an Issue raised between
Peru and the United States dating from
1885.

about North America being unable to prOtot
