WAsmxoTo'Jr, Aug. l.'J'iio Cabinet
and President luvvo decided that a
Spanish American commission Is to
ImVuchnrgc'of the entire question of
the terms 'of peace, on condition, how
ever, thnt tho Spanish troop3 arc re
moved Immediately from Cuba and
Porto Rico and that tho United Slates
shall have ono of the Ladrono islands.
The President haH decided that the
statement Intended to be made public,
as to reply to Spain, shall notliu given
out. Ho reached tills determination
upon representation that such n courso
would be iv violation of tho proprieties
of diplomacy, which rcqulro that such
a note shall not bo published before It
Is known to have reached tha nation
addressed, and that even then reason
able tlmo must be allowed for an an
swer. Tho American reply distinctly gives
warning that the proposition us to
surrender of all (sovereignty In the
West Indian waters and tho selection
of an Island in the I.adronca is beyond
any discussion whatever.
As to tho Philippines tho roply says
In substance that as further Indemnity
to the United States for Its expenses
the United States will hold the city of
Mnntln, its bay and harbor, pending
thu determination of tho future gov
ernment of tho whole island group.
One island of thu Ladrona group is to
bo ceded to the United States, this
government to inako its selection
later.
In demanding the surrender of Span
ish sovereignty In all our nearby
waters tho reply diplomatically avoids
jiaklng r.ny pledges ns to what Is to
be done bi this government ns to Cuba.
Tho pap-ir prepared by Secretary Day
for presentation to M. Cambnn, the
French ambassador, as the answer of
tho United States to Spain's peace pro
posal, was laid before the cabinet when
It met at 11 o'clock thts morning. It
contained about 1,100 words. At the
adjournment yesterday tho only point
not fully decided upon was ns to tho
extent of our demands respecting tho
Philippines.
It Is now understood that tho Presi
dent and a majority of tho cabinet
members favored the retention of a
coaling station at Manila nnd tho ox
crclso of practically tho same sover
eign authority over the city and ports
as is exercised by Great Britain at
Hong Kong. This, it is believed, will
be the final result. With regard to
other questions than the Philippines,
thu administration favors the follow
ing: Absolute cession to tho Unitod
States of Porto Rico and all Sslnnds in
tho West Indies, Bavo Cuba.
Relinquishment by Spain of sover
eignty In Cuba. Tho United States
will excrciso control there until a
stable government can be established.
Acquisition of a coaling station in
tho l.adrone islands and perhaps the
Carolines.
No assumption of Spain's Cuban or
Porto Ricun debts by tho United
States.
No war indemnity for Spain.
Tho cabinet adjourned about l
o'clock. An to tho Philippines, it was
decided to leavo their government open
for the present, to bo determined later
by a commission to bo appointed by
tho two countries, tho United States
meanwhilo to excrciso control nnd jur
isdiction over Manila, its harbor and
immediately surrounding territory.
Tho scope and power of this commis
sion could not bo learned and tho
method devised for enforcing nuy ver
dict it might reach was left to sur
mise. Tho Administration's general pur
pose underlying tho commission ar
rangement is understood to bo the
development . of the sober second
thought of the American peoplo as to
the disposition of tho Philippines, un
clouded by the clash of war nnd un
affected by momentary lust for terri
torial acquisition.
Of course it is understood that no
matter what form tho Philippine ar
rangement takes tho United States is
to acquire a naval station there, for It
Is understood that the original plan to
acquire a coaling station has beon
broadened into a demand for a naval
station.
Tho argument that brought about
this change was tho representation of
the naval war board that ono of the
most pressing needs of tho United
States naval vessels in Asiatic waters
was a good dry dock and some machine
shops where the repairs that wore
always required by thu complex war
ships of to-day can be effected. It was
i. ho nointcd out that under strict ap
I'lii.-tiun of tho neutrality laws, ns
i..;,id by bomo writers, tho United
States might bo prevented in time of
war from taking Its own coal from us
own coaling station, though the same
rule cunnot be applied to u naval sta
tion, which would be held under an en
tirely different tenure. Tho mainten
ance of a naval station would require
moro territory than' a coaling station
and tho existence of a dock yard at
Cavlto has fixed the eyes of tho naval
war board upon that, placo ns one
ready inado for our occupancy.
A naval station involves some rest
dent population to supply the neces
sary lalor and bomo agricultural land
Is required to maintain this popula
tion, the extent of thn territory de
pending entirely upon tho kIko of the
station and its importance.
Some of the naval ofllcers have been
urging, and their representations have
beon given weight, that the whole of
the island of Luzon Is not too great an
expanse to support properly such a sta
tion as tho United States will require.
They point, also to the difficulty that
would bo encountered in defending u
station that docs not occupy tho wholo

General Merrltt sailed from San

men. Tho third expedition of 4,200
men sailed the two previous days, tho
Newport overtaking them at Honolulu.
The Newport wns armed with six

that Spain has not been victorious, that
the expected reinforcements aro not

hopeless. The insurgents are in over

can only obtain tho burc necessaries of

Only a fortnight ago Spanish nation
al urido was rampant, but it is now
merging into indignation nt Spain's

will jump at tho first honorable oppor
tunity to surrender. They fenr na

Tho fighting in the suburbs is desul
tory and the Americans aro idle. This
has given riso to u report that they

peace will probably bo concluded.
Then, It is asserted hero, tho Ameri

and possibly abandon the Philippines
with tho exception of keeping a coal

Although the Insurgents havo re

to been unable to capturo tho citadel.
On tho other hand, the Spaniards are

evident that somebody must interfere

WHY SPAIN SUED FOR PEACE,
Junta Sny It Wa Ileranie Havana Caa
Hold Oat Little Longer.
Nkw Yohk, Aug. 1. Horatio S. Ru
bens, counsel of tho Cuban junta, in
an interview said that tho reason
Spain made pcaco proposals at this
time was that Havana could not hold
out much longer. "I am advised,"
said Mr. Rubens, "that Havana's food
supply is sufficient for only about
two weeks more. There are 200,000
civilians In tho city and from 50,000 to
00,000 soldiers. Only two steamers
havo succeeded in running tho block

far among 250,000. Madrid has been

fallen, tho peace proposals wcro made.
"They know very welt In Madrid
that Porto Rico can not effectively re

Therefore, they choso this as a fitting
time to negotiate for terms of peace,

States would stop fighting at once and
that the weakness of Spain would not
be so completely revealed as it wc

Wariiinoton, July 30. It was stated
tast night in a high diplomatic quar
ter, in such manner ns to glvo semi.
ollicinl character to tho expression,
that If American control or supervis
ion of tho Philippines was an indis
pensable condition laid down as the
basis for peace negotiations it was
practically certain tho Spanish govern
ment would not ncccdo to this condi
tion, but would dctcrmlno rather to
contiuuo the war. As to tho other
pcaco conditions thoy do not
present any insurmountable bar
rier to tho speedy restoration of
peace, nnd whllo there Is no authority
for saying thut Spain would accept
thcso terms and retire from Cuba and
Porto Rico, thcro is every indication
thnt sho would yield rather than con
tinue a disastrous war. Rut tho future
of the Philippines appears to be of as
much concern to tho Spanish govern
ment ns it is to tho American cabinet
just now, and thcro is even greater
insistence on the continuation of tho
Spanish sovereignty over this group
than there is over the more valuable
inlands of Cuba and Porto Rico.
