he left Siboney that induced him TO make

been to perplex the department officials

to advise them of the change in the plans.
IL Is another exhibition of the reliance

indicated, and to take steps to notify

message from the Spanish government
looking to the termination of the war
and the settlement of terms of peace"
This was the only statement made pub
lic but II sufficed to make II clear and
definite that at last Spain had taken the
initiative toward peace.
Although peace rumors have been cur
rent almost daily since Vhe war began,
none of them had the shadow OF founda-
ton, and until the French ambassador
received instructions from Paris no over
lures Of any kind had been received.
Shortly before midnight Monday night
dispatch to the French embassy made
II known that the ambassador would be
charged with the mission of opening ne
gotiations In behalf Of Spain. The COM
plete instructions, including an official
letter from Duke Almadovar, Spanish
minister of foreign affairs, was received
yesterday morning Thereppon Mr..
Thiebeaat, first secretary OF the en-
bassy. called at the state department
and asked that an hour be appointed for
call by Ambassador Cambon on the
president. The purpose of the call was
IL
call should be made at 3 o'clock Mr..
Cambon first went to the state depart
ment, where he was Joined by Secretary
Day, and the two then proceeded to the
White House.
The call lasted about half an hour, and
after the first formalities had been
executed by Mr. Cambon the talk be-
lcame general and quite informal. the
president, the ambassador and the Sec
retary of state discussing the outlook for
a conclusion OF hostilties. The proposi-
tion submitted by the ambassador was
quite general in terms. and was confined
20 the esseptial point OF an earnest plea
that negotiations be opened for the pur-
pose of terminating the war and arriving
ut terms of peace. The communication
OF the Spanish government did not sug-
gest specific. terms. nor was there any
reference to Cuba, the Philippines,
Porto Rico. or other Spanish possessions.
The evident purpose Of the Malrid au-
rhorities was first 10 learn whether the
United States would treat on the sub
ject of peace, and after that to take up
such terms as the two parties might
suggest. There was no suggestion from
the Spanish that an armistice be cstab-
lished pending the peace negotiations.
1t seemed natural. however from the
proposition that when formal nesotia-.
tions are entered upon and pending their
conclusion a cessation of hostilities
would occur.
Owing to the Importance OF the com
munication the ambassador adopted the
usual procedure OF reading the COM
municstion from the original In French.

of the terms Of peace. 1t was evident
that the president desired to consider
the proposition to open negotiations be-
fore giving a definite ryly. 1t was
finally determined that he president
would consult the members of his cab
met concerning the proposition, and after
Ia decision had been arrived at Mr.. Cam

United States. Before the call closed a
brief Of the memorandum was agreed
upon In order TO set at rest misleading

pitching of Williams. whose delivery
was too puzzling for the majority Of

secured only four safe hits and these
were made by three men, Canavan,

that one means likely TO be proposed is
10 authorize direct negotiation between
Spain and this country, Spain being rep
resented by Leon Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador in Paris, and the United

ambassador to France.
Mr.. Castillo is one of the foremost
diplomats OF Europe. and since the war
began his chief mission has been to go

awaken foreign Intervention in behalf OF
Spain. Failing in this. he has turned his

tive. however. and II is rather doubtful
whether the United States government
would consent to have such negotiations
removed so far from Washington and
conducted in European capital, where
the atmosphere might not be conducive
of forwarding the desires of this country.
Spains proposal excited deepest in
terest throughout Washington. and for
the time being war news gave way to
animated discussion Of the prospects for
peace. This was particularly true in
diplomatic circles. The movement OF
the French ambassador took the other
MEMBERS of the corps completely by
surprise. Several of the foreign repre-
sentatives made inquiries OF the state
department as to the meaning OF the
ambassadors call and, learning that he
had presented SPANS proposition for
peace. full reports were cabled to the
foreign offices. The cable report to one
OF the foreign Offices cost several hum

Naturally the plea of Spain to open
peace negotiations opens up wide field
of conjecture as to what the terms will
be. Thus far there is not Official warrant
for saying what terms Spain will pro-
pose. or what terms the United States
will offer or accept. so far as this coun-
try is concerned, 1T is the general impress
sion that the complete Spanish evacua-
ton of Cuba and Porto Rico will be in
sisted upon as a prerequisite. There is
not the same certainty as TO the Philip
pines. Ladrones and Carolines, although
the belief is growing that the terms OF
the United States will include coaling
stations in these groups. 1t is believed
that Spain now has reached such a
realization Of her misfortune that she
will readily consent to the evacuation OF
Cuba and probably Porto Rico. The
Spanish desire Is apparently very strong
for the retention OF the Philippines, al
though there is little doubt that coaling
stations there and at other points would
be conceded. The matter of war in
demnity is for future consideration.
There does not appear to be disposition
among the officials here to pile UP a
heavy indemnity against Spain In her
present helpless condition.
