sition neither the president nor the
ambassador entered upon the question
of the terms of peace. The instruc-
tons OF the ambassador had confined
him to the one essential point of
opening peace negotiations, and IL was
evident that the president desired TO
consider the proposition at this mo-
nent before giving any definite reply.
" vas finally determined that the
president would consult the members
CT his cabinet concerning the PROPOSE
ton. and after decision had been ar
rived at M. Cambon would then be in
vited 10 the white house for a further
conference and for a final answer from
the United States government. Before
the call closed a brief official mem
orandum was agreed upon, in order
TO set at rest misleading conjecture
and TO give TO the public information
on a subject which had advanced be-
yond the point where diplomatic re-
serve was essential.

SPECIALIZATION as 20 Terms.

Naturally the plea of Spain 10 open
peace negotiations opens up wide
field Of conjecture on what the terms
Of peace will be. Thus far there is no
official warrant for saying what terms
Spain will propose or what terms the
United States will offer or accept.
So far as this country is concerned
II is the general impression that the
complete evacuation OF Cuba and
Puerto Rico will be insisted upon as a
sine qua non. There is not the same
certainty as 10 the Philippines, La
drones and Carolines, although the be-
lief Is growing that the terms OF the
United States will include coaling sta
tons in these groups. On the part Of
Spain ii is believed that she now has
reached such a realization OF her mis-
fortune that she will readily consent
TO terms for the evacuation OF Cuba
md probably Puerto Rico. The Span
ish desire Is very strong for the reten-
ton Of the Philippines, although there
is little doubt that coaling stations
there and at other points will be con-
ceded. The matter of war indemnity
Is for future consideration, although
there does not appear 10 be a disposi-
ton among the officials here TO pile
up heavy war indemnity against
Spain In her present helpless condi-
ton.

During the late afternoon and even
ing the president conferred with most
OF the members Of the cabinet, and the
Spanish proposition was thoroughly
canyassed. Secretaries Day Alger and

president was joined by Secretaries
Bliss and Wilson and Postmaster-Gen-

meeting in the ordinary sense, but

taries Alger, Bliss, Wilson and Post
master-General Emory Smith with
President Mckinley lasted until near

tary Alger said that no special cabinet
meeting had been called for to-day,

what was said by members cf the cab

was stated that in effecting n settle.

ginning. Nothing could be known
about the terms upon which the nego-

further conference by those having
the matter in charge. Secretary Alger
again stated when he left the white
house that there would be no change
in the plans OF campaign and the war
would go forward with yigor.
Plans Not Made.
In case the peace negotiations are
opened the means by which they will
be carried on arc not determined, MOI
have they been officially considered
Ii is understood, however, that one
means likely 10 be proposed is TO au
thorize direct negotiations between
Spain and this country, Spain being
represented by Senior Leon Castillo

the United States by Gen. Horace Por

Castillo is one OF the foremost diplo
mats OF Europe, and since the war be
gan his chief mission has been TO gC
from capital TO capital and endeayoi
10 awaken foreign Intervention in be
half OF Spain. Failing in this, he hai
turned his attention 10 the peac,
movement as the last chance for saw
ing his country. Castillo is linguist
speaking English, so that the negotia
tions could proceed with facility.
