be granted, but if so it would only be
under the most effective safeguards
to prevent loss Of any advantage to
the United States and upon binding
pledges that certain well defined
objects are to be conceded to US.
The president discussed this com.
pick subject all day with various
members of the cabinet as they called
in the course of ordinary business.
Secretary Day and Postmaster Gen.
eral Smith spent some time this after
noon at the White house, presumably
exchanging views with the president.
1t may be stated that it is CONT
IDENTIFY expected that when the two
governments arrive at the actualpoint
Of fixing terms they will be found
much closer toget her than is generally
supposed. 1t is felt by officials that
with the diplomatic fOrmalities out
OF the way, the actual peace terms
would require little time for arrange
ment, and today it was even suggested
that the anomalous condition might
be presented of SPANS conceding as
much or more than the United States
felt justified in demanding. There is
little reason to doubt that Spain has
made up her mind to give up Cuba.
1t is almost equally certain that Spain
recognizes that she must consent also
to the abandonment Of Porto Rico.
With these two vital points passed,
there is likely to be little delay on the
question Of indemnity, as there is
every disposition here not to press
with undue severity on Spain in this
respect. About the only reason which
would impel this government to insist
upon an indemnity would be a further
stubborn resistance by Spain.
Speaking broadly, the statement
was made today by an influential
official that settlement in which
Spain conceded two vital points,
namely, Cuba and Porto Rico, and at
the same time gained two vital points,
namely, freedom from war indemnity
and retention of her control of the
Philippines, would appear to be a just
balance Of equities.

Interest in the Peace Overture

Washington, July 27.-The initia-
tion 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 sit
uation. Though it is known through
the open admission of members of the
administration that the present peace
phase would remain unchanged until
after another cabinet meeting on
Friday, there was still evinced dis
position to discuss this matter in its
every aspect.
Naturally, the first point of inquiry
was the exact shape taken by the
Spanish presentation Of yesterday,
Curiosity on this point remained uu-
gratiaed, and must probably so con-
tinue for some days to come, the pres.
idsnt having decided that nothing
more definite than the statement
issued from the White house yester.
day shall be given to the public at
this time. The motive is a pruden-
tial one, and the president has even
gone 30 far astO suggest to the Madrid
authorities the expediency of keeping
the text of the Spanish overture from
publication at this time.
The next point of interest was the
character and extent Of the demand
likely TO be made by the United States
as the conditions Of peace. 1t is felt
that the statement of terms of peace,
both from Spain and from the United
States, may be some days of, as there
doubtless will be considerable diplo-
matte fencing at the outset before the
actual point Of stating terms ia
reached. A good deal of this, for in
stance, may result from the start to
define the methods of approach to the
object sought, whether through a
commission or through the direct ex.
change Of notes, as initiated yester-
day. There will be much discussion
nalllikellhOOd regarding an armistlct
for 1t is the distinct purpose Of tn,
Spanish authorities to secure a sus
pension of hostilities pending tn,
negotiations for peace.

could never have impressed his person
atty upon the senate in such a sub
stantial manner. Laying aside all
partisan friendship and feeling it can be
tr%uthfully claimed that Senator Petit
grew stands in the front rank OF really
useful senators. He is so recognized

ates and this fact gives South Dakota an
influence at Washington that is OF great
