OFFER OF PEACE
REJECTED BY SPAIN.
Said that Mckinley Made a
Proposition to Spain and Re
NAMED Inactive Until It
Mas Answered.

Washington. May 26.-Did
the president offer to end the
war if Spain would abandon
Cuba, she to keep Porto Rico
and the Philippines?
1t is asserted on high author
ity in diplomatic circles that he
did, and that the prompt refus-
al by Spain of this generous
offer caused the second call
for volunteers and the subse-
quent extraordinary activity in
naval and army circles.
As the story goes-and it IS
told with versimiIitude-the
president two weeks ago in
structed Ambassador Porter al
Paris to secretly ascertain il
Spain was now willing to aban-
don the contest on the assur-
ance that this country would
make no claims to either the
Philippines or Porto Rico, only
requiring that Cuba should be
given up. Ambassador Por.
ter went about the task.
In the meantime there were
inertia and passiveness on this
side of the water, The ships
of the navy were kept burning
coal day and night, it is true
and nothing tangible was &C
complished.
The relief expedition for The
Philippines was made ready
but the order to sail was no
given. Troops and transport.
were gathered at the seashor'
within easy distance of FIavan;
aud there was no forward
movement.
AS soon as Ambassado
Porter notified the presiden
that Spain would not accep
the offer. things on this sid
changed. The wheels ar
turning. ships are moving

the time TO advertise the state as de-
