FUTURE OF
PHILIPPINE
ISLANDS.
Likely to Cause the Only
Friction
In the Peace Negotiations
WIN OpQiil,
Little Opposition Expected TO Be
Encountered
As to the Disposition to Be Made Of Porto
Rico and Cuba, Though Spain May
Insist on the Latter
Being Annexed.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The initia-
ton of overtures for peace has had the
effect of suspending in a large measure
for the time being at least interest in
the military. and naval situation.
Though it is known through the open
admission of members of the Admins
tration that the present peace phase
would remain unchanged until after an
other Cabinet meeting on Friday, there
was still evinced disposition to dis
cuss this matter in it's every aspect.
Naturally the first point Of inquiry
was the exact shape taken by the
Spanish presentation of yesterday Gu
riosity on this point remained ungrati-
fed, and must probably SO continue for
some days to come, the President hav-
ing decided that nothing more definite
than the statement issued from the
White House yesterday shall be given
to the public at this time. The motive
is a prudential one, and the President
has even gone so far as to suggest to
the Madrid authorities the expediency
of keeping the text of the Spanish over
ture from publication at this time
The next point Of interest was the
character and text of the. demand like
ly to be made by the United States
The record-union., 1898-07-28
THE SUING FOR PEACE.
It Was at the Request of the Span
ish Government.

PARIS. July 2T.-The following Off
cial note was issued to-day:
IA the request of the Spanish Gov
ernment the French ambassador at
Washington has been authorized by the
French Government to present note
from the Cabinet at Madrid to the
President of the United States. 1t is
in the name of Spain that NJ. Cambon,
who is charged to watch Spanish in
terests in the United States. made this
communication to President Mckinley
at the White House yesterday after
noon in the presence Of Secretary Day"
The Temps this evening says Pres
ident Mckinley gave Nj. Cambon a re-
ply. which the latter has transmitted
to the French Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs The Temps" also outlines the
preiiminaries 10 Spain's request. 1t
saws the Cabinet ten days ago conclud-
ed to inquire how to terminate the war.
which henceforth in the opinion of the
Ministers Will be purposeless. They
realized that the United States was SEN
sitive of its dignity; that foreign inter-
vantion would only irritate, and re-
quested NJ Del Case. through NJ
Cambon, to ascertain If the United
States would consent to France tender
ing her good offices. On NJ. Cambon
responding in the affirmative. Spain's
note was Immediately intrusted TO him.

eral Horace Porter, and the Secretary

SPANISH DIPLOMACY.
Will be Little Chance for It's Sue
cess An Peace Negotiations.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-By to-
morrow our Government will have de-
termined and communicated to the
French Embassador just what form the
steps leading toward peace shall
take. 1t is likely that if the Spanish
Government is really in earnest in its
desire for peace. that our Government
will consent TO an armistice as a pre-
unoinary. But it can be stated positively
the President is determined to lose no
ground through Spanish diplomacy.
The arrnistice, if granted, viii be con-
dftioned upon the most binding pledges
that il is To be followed by treaty OF
neaee Moreover, the preliminary
agreement that prevails for an armi-
slice must constitute in Itself an under
taking on the part of Spain to submit to
certain broad conditions imposed by the
United states as the basis for peace.
Military operations are to so steadily
forward so far as the United States IS
concerned. until the negotiations have
advanced much further than they are
AT present. They are subject 10 inter
,nption at any moment by an armi-
stice. but it must be said that this IS
scarcely expected Immediately
1T is realized that when the Spanish
Government learns the extent OF the
demands to be made by the United
States, the. first effect viii be to make
a reflex movement. which will result in
the continuation, of active hostilities for
q time. This time, it is expected. how
ever will be brief, only perhaps 50 lcng
as necessary for General Miles TO COM
r,letely invest san Juan dc Porto Rico.
THAT stroke, it is thought, will bring
the Spanish Government to a realizing
sense of the hopelessness OF further
The record-union., 1898-07-28
Will Likely Prove Rather Costly to
the Spanish Government.
Military Operations to Go Steadily Forward,
So Far as United States is Concerned,
Until Negotiations Have kd-
VanCed Much Further.

WASHINGTON. July 21.-In diplo-
matte quarters Spain's peace proposal
is the absorbing topic. 1t can now be
stated that the formal proposition sub
mitted yesterday had been under con-
sideration at Madrid for five days pre-
vious to yesterday, during which time
the British, as well as the French au-
thorities We're cogniZant of the TACT
that Spain was about to sue for peace.
A sensational report is as to the eX-
act proposition made by Spain. There
has been some misapprehension over
this, owing to the publication of an
alleged text for the proposition and
other reports asserting that Spain ask
ed President Mckinley to state terms
of peace. AS a matter of fact, the
Spanish proposition does not mention
the word terms and there is no re-
quest or suggestion in it that the Pres
ident shall state terms of peace.
The direct inquiry made by Spain is
as to whether the United States will
open negotiations toward the settle
ment of the war and the arrangements
of peace. 1t is based on the theory
that if the President answers IN tf4e
affirmative, then the negotiations for
terms will be opened between Comrnis-
sioners or parties clothed with the re-
sponsibility of bringing about a set
tlement Neither did the Spanish prop
osition contain any reference to "ar-
ic fro,
ed on the idea that if peace negotiations
are entered upon, there viii be a sus-
pension of hostilities pending an agree
ment upon the exact terms of peace.
In this connection there appears TO be
a distinction made between the word
.'armistice" and suspension of hostili-
ties" for while it is said the former is
not asked or expected. it seems TO be
taken for granted that a suspension OF
hostilities will be essential to carry for
ward peace negotiations.
The Spanish proposition is clothed
with all the solemnity and formality of
a Government act, despite the cable
report from Madrid that the peace pro-
posal is of personal nature" The
instructions to NJ Cambon bear the
official signature of Duke Almodovar de
Rio, the Spanish Minister of Foreign
Affairs. and besides expressing the de-
sires of the Cabinet and Government
that the peace negotiations be opened.
they are given the added solemnity Of
approval and earnest personal request
by Queen Regent Maria Christina
The instructions bear the date of Mad
rid, July 25th. These formalities dis
miss all questions in the minds of ofii-
cials here as to the regularity of the
Spanish proposition as expressive OF
the wishes OF the Government of Spain

CUSTOMS At SANTIAGO.
Gen. Shafter Confident They Are
Honestly Admiuiste

WASHINGTON, July 2I.-The War
Department made public to-day the fol-
lowing, received from General Shafter
in response to a query by the depart
ment as to ships being turned away
from Santiago:
Santiago via Hayti, July %, 12:17
a. m.
"Adjutant General, u. S. A.. Washing
ton: Press reports not true. | only
know of three ships having arrived, one
from Kingston. the others from the
United States. The Bratton has sold
her cargo; the other, ship from New
Orleans, has sold only a part of it. and
tells me he is going away tonight. I
think he will sell before he leaves. The
trouble is they did not expect to pay
any duty, and arrived here without
money The Spanish customs, as ap
piled to Spanish subjects, has only been
collected and the 20 cents per ton as
ordered by the Secretary. I discovered
the same attempt on the part of the
municipality to collect a tax Of 40 cents
per 100 kilos, in this instance amount
ing to $500 / had already settled
this matter by ordering its non-collec-
ton. The fact is, there is no money
here to 90 business, and merchants are
very fimid about making purchases,
fearing the effect of the supplies of the
Red Cross Society, who are really feed
ing the town. The New Orleans man,
for instance, brought twenty-nine head
of cattle, which he sold at $50 per head,
the person buying killing one a day,
selling the meat at 20 cents per pound.
of course only few people buy. The
