WASHINGTON NOTES.
Washington, D. C, August 1.
Spain is an up-to-date exemplifica
tion of the adage about the evils attend
ant upon a bad name. Although Pres
ident McKinloy has acted upon Spain'.s
request for our terms of poaoo as
though ho believed in its honor and
straightforwardness, tliero is no leason
to believe that his faith in Spanish
honor is any greator than that of tho
averago man owing to his experience,
it is probably not so gieat. Not ono
man out of ten in Washington bolieves
that Spain made those overtures with
any serious ntention of accepting our
terms of peace, although in the end it
may do so. It has very nearly reached
n. case of "must" with Spain, and if it
doesn't accept tho present terms,
which, under tho circumstances .are
liberal in tho .extreme so liberal that
the French ambassador, who is now
also accredited as Spanish minister, ac
cepted them on the spot more sovoro
ones will havo to bo accepted laler.
The terms oondonsod aro tho evacu
ation of Cuba and Porto Rtco, and leav
ing the Philippine question to bo set
tled afterwards.
V
In the general discussion which hat
followed Spain's ploa for peaco, some
very interesting points havo been
raised. For instance, as an civldonco
of Spain's insincerity, one man rails at.
tentltiu to a clause in the Spanish con
tItntiou which proplblts tho crown
even entering upon uttjotlatious hav
ing in vlow '.he cossion or exchange of
any portion of Spanish territory until
tutliority therefor has been granted by
a majority vote of both brunches of tho
national legislature. This is mot by
another man with a claim that the
recent declaration of martial law
throughout Spain operates as a sus
pension of tho constitution, aud that
thoSparJsh government, can, if it so
desiies negotiate n tieaty on tho lines
lnid down by the terms of this govern
ment withoutdauger of having Itslegal
ity qucstiouod.
Gen. Miles is having an expononce
in Porto Rico that is unique in war.
Instead of iindiug himsolf aud army In
the enomy's country, he tinds that thoy
aro among tho warmest sort of friends.
The Porto Ricaus cheer our Hug and
our soldiers whenever n town is taken
possession of and declare themselves to
bo loyal Americans, many of tbont car
rying the declaration to tho extent of
nskiug to bo allowed to enlist in our
army and tight for tho Hag which they
already consider their own. Owing to
the retreat of tho Spanish gari isons of
tho captured territory, Got). Miles is
now in possession of almost tho entho
southern end of Porto Rico, including
Ponce and other towns "t more or lers
impoitanco, nnd what is better, he has
not lost a man, and the health of his
army is good, All of the Spanish
trpops on the Island are buliig coneeu
tlioto may be some severo lighting
there, although but littlo surptiso
would bo caused by the surrender of
thegartison when our aimy gets near
enough to assault their fortifications.
V
Gen. Shifter has ofllclally confirmed
the press statement of the worthless
uess of Garcia and his Cubans in tho
Santiago campaign.
The foar of the administration that
the Philippine Insurgents weto likely
to make trouble for us at Manila, havo
been increased by dispatches from Ad
mit al Dewey and Gen. Morrill, who
reached there last week. Aguiualdo,
the insurgont chief, is nursing a bad
case of big head, and has had littlo
enough sense to try togivo himself airs
iu his dealings with Admiral Dewey.
One consolation in the situation is that
Aguinaldo's relations with tho Spanish
aro such that tliero Is no possibility of
his making a combination with them
against us. After Manila is taken and
tho Spanish disposed of, Goueial Mer
ritt and Admiral Dewey will be in a po
sition to administer a thteshing to tho
Insurgents, if their actions show them
to be hankering after it. Tho taking
of Manila is not likely to be much
longer deferred, unless peace puts a
stop to the campaign.
V
Although not fiter from doubt than
anybody else about how long wo shall
tratod at San Jiiuu, towntds which wait for neaco. Secielaiv Lonir lias is-
General Milos is s.owly udvauciug, uutl auod ordeis for tho uiouilors uud
yaeliis composing the auxiliary coast
dofenso fleet, generally referred to ns
tho "mosquito fleet" to bo put out of
commission. This is the first step ta
ken to reduce the tremendous war ex
penses of tho government. A navnl
ofllcor was asked if he thought this ac
tion on Secretary Long's part indicat
ed his belief that peaco was near at
hand, replied, "Not necessarily. 1
think the vessels composing this fleet
would havo boon ordered out of com
mission if Spnin had not said a word
about peace. Soorotary Long knows
that Spain has no ships left to attack
ourcoast and that this fleet is no longer
needed." Tho same ofllcor was asked
what about tho decision by Secretary
Long to purchase only ono floating
dock for sorvico in southern waters,
instead of two, which It was decided
to buy beforo Spain made peaco over
tures. Ho said: "It was tho destruc
tion of Corvora's fleet, not peaco over
tures, that caused that change."
