AN EARNEST PROTEST.
President Mckinley Is Urged Not to
Allow Spanish Rule In Philip
pines to Continue.

London, July 80. Natives of the
Philippine islands and British sub
jects who have interests there are
alarmed by the reports mat the peace
terms include the return of those
islands to Spain. AS result they have
held a meeting here, and, after con-
sultation with the Philippians in
France and Belgium, have cabled to
President Mckinley and to Senator
Davis, chairman of the foreign rela-
tions committee. The message to
President Mckinley is as follows:
THE Philippians resident In Europe pray
you not to abandon the Philippine islands
for the sake of peace with Spain. Our
loyalty and trust in the honor of Amer
lea entitle US to your consideration and
support. To hand over our country again
to Spain is contrary to the humanitarian
proceedings of your noble nation and the
wish OF all classes. Civilization trade and
order all will be lost IL Spanish authority
Is reestablshed in any form"
The message to Senator Davis says:
"A cast-iron agreement binding Spain
to form government satisfactory to the
Inhabitants Is preposterous. To retain her
sovereignty means deception, oppression
and bigotry. We placed our rights in
your hands and pray you to induce the
president and senate not to abandon In
the hour of peace people who, trusting
In American honor, fight for their com
mon interests"

Brief Sketch of the Remark
able Mans Career.

Berlin, Aug. 1.-Bismarck Is dead.
Cermany's "man of blood and iron"
passed away at 11:20 o'clock Saturday
night at his castle of Friedrichsruhe.
The entire nation-the nation which
he unified by his indomitable will and
unyielding purpose-is shocked by the
sudden news.
1t appears that the ex-chancellor's
death was not precipitated by sudden
complications, but was rather the cul-
mination of chronic diseases-neu-
ralgia of the face and Inflammation
of the veins-which kept him in con-
slant pain, that was borne with the
iron fortitude which might have been
expected. The beginning of the end
dates from July 20, when the prince
was confined to his bed. He had been
several days Frustrated before an ink
ling of his decline reached the world.
Death Agony Prolonged.
When DR.. Schweninger arrived at
Friedricksruhe railway station short
ly after ten O'Clock Saturday evening
the two counts Won Rantzau were
waiting with carriage, and the ply
stefan was driven rapidly to the cap

unconscious. According to an unofii-
cial account the death agony was pro-
longed. The prince died without TAX

peace, nor was any reference made to
Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico or
other Spanish possessions. The evil
dent purpose of the Madrid authorities
was TO first learn whether the United
States would treat on the subject of
peace, and after that take up such
terms as the two parties might sug-
gest. Neither was there any sugges-
ton. from the Spanish government
that an armistice be established pend
ing the peace negotiations. 1t seemed
natural, however, from the PROPOSE
ton that formal peace negotiations be
entered upon, that pending their
conclusion cessation of hostilities
would occur.
Owing to the Importance of the
communication the ambassador
adopted the usual diplomatic proce-
dure Of reading the communication
from the original, in French, the
translation being submitted by NJ.
Thiebeaut. In the conversation which
followed the reading of their propo-
sition neither the president nor the
ambassador entered upon the question
OF the terms of peace. The instruc-
lions of the ambassador had confined
him to the one essential point of
opening peace negotiations, and it was
evident that the president desired to
consider the proposition at this mo-
ment before giving any definite reply.
II was finally determined that the
president would consult the members
CT his cabinet concerning the proposi-
ton. and after a decision had been ar
rived at NJ. Cambon would then be in
gited to the white house for a further
conference and for a final answer from
the United States government. Before
the call closed brief official mem
orandum was agreed upon, in order
to set at rest misleading conjecture
and to give to the public information
OH q subject which had advanced be-
You'd the point where diplomatic re-
servH was essential.

movement of the army is expected for
several days. The transports with
Gen. Brookc's army corps and the re-
mainder of the first corps are arriving
slowly. Our troops will probably re-
main here quietly until the bulk of the
army has disembarked. Gen. Miles will
retain his headquarters at the custom
house al the port OF Ponce, while Gen.
Wilson will be in immediate command

lation of the city remained in the
streets celebrating the arrival of their
American liberators until long after
midnight Friday. Business in the city
has enjoyed great boom since the
arrival of the Americans.
The news that Spain had consented
to sue for peace was received here and
was at once taken to Gen. Miles. The
general wrinkled his grave brow when
he read it and said he did not know
what effect II would have on his ex-
petition, but he purposed to push on
ahead and take San Juan pending or
ders from the president. A dispatch
boat carried information out 10 the
fleet and there was a celebration at
the first indication of weakening on
SPANS part.

THE TERMS OFFERED.
what Spain Must Concede II She
Wishes Peace-No Money In
demnity to lie Demanded.

Washington, July 30.-The cabinet
Friday discussed the presidents an
swer to SPANS peace proposal, and
reached the following decisions:
The absolute surrender of Puerto
Rico TO the United States.
Recognition of the independence of
Cuba.
Cession OF one of the Ladrone is
lands to the United States as a coal
ing station and the cession to the
United States of at least u coaling sta
tion in the Philippines.
The question undecided is, what dis
position shall be made of the Philip
pine islands ms n whole. 1t can be
stated that there Is practically no
difference of opinion in the cabinet
on the question of the retention OF the
Philippine islands as whole, all the
members being opposed to our acqui-
sition of these islands. There has
been no decision, however, as yet on
the extent to which the government
will go in its decision respecting the
future of these islands, but it isiprob-
able that the answer of the president
will express the willingness of this
government to leave the matter of
the future government of the Philip
pines entirely in the hands of a joint
commission TO be appointed by this
government and the government of
Spain. The probability is that the
United States will insist upon guar
antee of certain reforms in govern
ment in the Philippine islands.
Our answer will make no mention
OF the money indemnity. Neither will
there be any armistice at all. The
answer will be in the nature of an ul-
,imatum, and if Spain does not ac-
