THE DISCUSSION OF IMPERIAL

ISf1.
To minds that stand appalled, at the
unusual or the unconventional. the
armed Intervention of the United States
IN Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
seems like an aggressive departure
from the policy laid down by Washing
ton in his farewell address of 1896. and
reinforced by Monroe in his famous
message OF 1s2S--of avoiding all enter-
prlses and all responsibilities OF any
Kind beyond the limits OF the two
American continents.
There have been. however. many
precedents for such procedure during
the past century and quarter, SO
many that they may be divided into six
periods: /. Military expeditions and
occupations In the Revolutionary and
Barbary wars. 1775-1sl5; 2. Expeditions
opd occupations for territorial expan-
sion. 1797-1S2l; g. Relations with Eu-
ropean countries. 1S22-ls35; L. Aggres-
sive expeditions, isss-lsso; s. Relations
with American neighbors, 1ssl-1s72; 8.

ventions and expeditions is7s-lssS.

Washington, July 29.--The Cabinet
reaches the following decision; 1.-The
absolute surrender of Porto Rico, the
recognition OF the independence of Cuba
the Cession of one of the Ladrone islands
to the United States as coaling station
and the cession of at least one coaling
states in the Philippines.
The question undecided is what dis
position is to be made of the Philippines.
The Cabinet almost in the whole is
opposed to our acceptance of these is
lands.
There has been no decision yet, how
ever, as to what the future government
will be.
The President in his answer will ex-
press willingness for this government
to leave the future government OF the
Philippines in the hands of a joint COM
missioner from the United States and
Spain.
The probability is that the United
States will insist on guarantee OF GER
tain reformers in the present govern
ment of the Philippines.
Thu answer will make no mention OF
the money indemnity, neither Will there
be any armistce at all.
The answer will be in the nature O
an untimatum and if Spain does not ac
cept it she will fare worse IN the iu'"fe
This government will make a straight
forward statement of its present peace

ton, naming the conditions which, uhoe
the circumstances, are reasonable

Manila Surrcnders.

Paris, July ga Telegram from
Madrid to the European editors and
thence to the New York papers say that
cable has been received at the Spanish
Capitol announcing that Manila has
surrendered to Dewey.
Washington, July 2s-The subject
which has engrossed the minds OF the in
official circles here, for the past few
days has been the question OF what
terms of peace would be accepted by
the United States and whether they
would meet with approval OF the Span
ish government
This subject has taken up 80 much OF
the attention of the officials and the pub
lie as we'll, that the fact of NIL being
in close proximity to the guns OF San
Juan and that great battle may be OK
noctcd there at any moment has been
almost overlooked in their eager grasp
ing for signs Of peace.
This feeling Of anxiety for tho troops
At Porto Rico is no doubt somewhat al
layed by the belief that no serious hos
tilities will be commenced on our par'
until the whole number OF our forces
arrive there.
This will doubtless be the case as fal
90 Miles is concerned and although
there may be several minor sk'rmlshes
i, is not expected that tho final bio"
will not be struck until an overwhelm'
ing force arrives.
Notwithstanding this, there is a pos
sibility that hostilities may open iron
the other side, and in that way our troops
would be forced to bring the matter Il
an immediate crisis
On the other hand while it Is no
clearly understood that the peace nego
tiations at Washington will have an!
bearing upon the campaign sun 'ner
would be an inclination upon both sioe
to delay hostilities until matters NOR
definitely shape themselves
As to the probability of reaching a

tirely upon the reply that is to be maa'

Philippine Difficulty.

undoubtedly be point difficult to settle
il it is insisted upon.
Not 70 much difficulty is anticipated
in regard to Porto Rico unless new com
plications should aiise, but the Philip
! pines present serious barrier to the
cessation of hostilities.
The principal trouble in effecting a
settlement will be the matter of the
Philippines. The question lies between
whether the United States will simply
maintain coaling station there or de-
mand the entire supervision OF the gov
ernment of the island.
According to the answer which is
now completed for submission to the
Cabinet they will establish coaling
station, but further than this no demand
is made. The decision Of the Cabinet
may, however, change the tenor of this.
Washington, July 20. The public
men who talked with the President and
the members Of the cabinet this morn
ing positively assert that the administra-
ton is confident Of the sincerity of the
Spanish note and take the view that the
note is the beginning of the end.
The administration is practically GER
tain of the answer from this government
and that the general terms it will pro-
pose will be accepted by Spain.
Every member Of the Cabinet met at
II o'clock this morning and the indica-
llons point to the sending of the answer
this afternoon.
The general expectation is that the
results of this meeting will prove to be
important in many administrations.
Upon the nature of the answer tt
Spain's proposal will depend the
whole future of the policy of the United
States.
Whether the nation shall embark now

rlontpelier Defeated Again By the
Granite City Boys 7 to 5.

The Montpelier aggregation of ball
tossers came to this city yesterday after
noon, only to meet their second defeat by
the Granite City boys. The game was
interesting in the first few innings as
the visitors made numerous errors.
Fitzgerald was wild in the box, while
Henry Petric pitched a good game.
George German opened the game
with a Two Dagger, stole third and came
home on wild pitch, scoring the only
run in this inning as Gilley, Premier and
viii German were easy outs. Tempcl-
ton got first on an error, Smith got a
hit but the next three men up were VIC
tins to Petre's curves and struck out.
In the second inning George Petrie
got base on balls, Morse struck out;
Mariana got base on balls and Bishop
struck out. 1t looked as if they were
going to be shut ont, but Henry Petrlc
hit corker to right field fence which
bore Il three base tag, scoring George
Petre and Mariana. George German
struck out, leaving Henry Petrie on
third. In this inning the visitors were
also shut out
In the third by a single three bases on
balls and two bagger, four runs were
netted for Barre, making the score L.
This ended the scoring of the home
team. The visitors were able to score
two runs in this inning by q single and
double bases on balls. In their half OF
the fourth the capitol city boys scored
three more by some good ball playing
Barre was unable to score in the fifth.
The score stood I to ) in favor OF the
home team and the visitors were conf
dent that they could at leasttie the score.
Lyons came to bat and got hit, Ford
did the same, Sam Wheeler struck out,
as did Thebault. There was one man
on first and one on second. There were
two outs and Fitzgerald came to the bat
but was so sure of getting another two
Dagger that he famed out, and once
more Barre was victorious over her
rival city.
