Washington, Sept. 14.-Two impor-
tant meetings of the cabinet were held
Tuesday, at which the situation in the
philippines was carefully considered
and an outline arrived at of the in
structions which the peace commits
sioners will carry with them to Paris.
1t was first decided that there should
be no mistake as to the attitude of the
two countries. The United States will
treat with Spain as conqueror with
the conquered. This much is estab-
lished, and the commissioners will be
clearly instructed to this effect.
Cuba and Puerto Rico will not be
subjects of negotiation, except Incl
dentally. They we're disposed of by
the armistice, and the future govern
ment of Cuba will be established by the
United States without reference to
,Spain's demands or wishes.
The Philippine question will be only
partially open to negotiation. That is
to say, Manila bay, with the capital of
the island, Cavite and the Corregidor
islands, must remain as the absolute
property of the United States.

The animals quickly become accustom-

Washington, Sept. 15.-The news
papers reaching the state department
in the official mails from the east show
that the almost universal expression
in the public press of Japan is in ia
vor of the United States holding per-
manently and governing the Philip
pine islands. The position taken is
that this will be in the interest of
peace and commerce and good gov
ernment. The editorials insist that
this is the only issue of the matter
that will satisfy the highest interests
of the islands and the de mands of
civilization. The papers declare thai
the United States in assuming the con-
troll of the islands will receive the
moral support, if not the active CO.
operation, of Japan and Great Britain.

military and commercial necessities
would probably involve the whole
island of Luzon, and this is likely to
he the minimum of the American de-
mands. The cabinet is nearly if not
quite unit on this point.
AS to the rest of the Spanish islands
there is some slight difference of opin-
ion. It is agreed by the president and
his advisers that the natives are not
capable of self-government now and
probably will not be for generations to
come, so that the idea of an independ-
ent government with an American
protectorate would be too much in the
nature of a 80 year lease to be con-
sidered feasible.
The cabinet was also apparently
agreed that spain's misgovernment of
the Philippines was practically the
same as that in Cuba, and hence that
the reasons which rendered necessary
it's abolition in the West Indies were
equally potential in the China seas.
Spain May Lose All.
There is nearly unanimity of opin-
ion that none of the Philippines shall
revert to Spain. The disposition of the
islands outside. of Luzon is still open.
The sentiment at the conferences was
that military and commerce advan-
tages would probably be complete
with the possession of the Island of
Luzon, and that in fact the problems
of colonial government would be much
easier if the United States did not con-
troll the other islands, It was felt.

not afford to select part of the con-

over the island of Cuba. and of evacuating
its territory Immediately. The cessation of
hostilities has also been signed.
