THE WAR OVER.
The Beginning and Prosecution Of Peace
Negotiations Described.

The Beginning and Prosecution of Peace
Negotiations Described.
The humiliation of Admiral Ger
vera's feet, followed by the capitula-
ton of Santiago, having brought 20 the
Spanish government a realizing sense
of the hoplessness of continuing a
struggle now become wholly unequal,
it made overtures Of peace through the
French ambassador, who with the as
sent of his government, had acted as
the friendly representative Of Spanish
interests during the war. On the 18th
of July, M. Cambon presented COM
munication signed by the Duke Of Al
modovar, the Spanish Minister of State,
inviting the United States to state the
terms upon which it would be willing
to make peace. On July 30, by COM
munication addressed to the Duke CT
Almodovar and handed to N. Cambon,
the terms of this government were an
nounced, substantially as in the proto-
col afterwards signed. On August 10,
the Spanish reply, dated August Z, was
handed by M. Cambon to the Secretary
of State.
the terms imposed as to Cuba, Porto
Rico and an island of the Landrores
group, but appeared to seek to intro
duce inadmissible reservations in re-
gard to our demand as to the Philip
pine islands. COnceiving that discus
sion on this point could neither be
practical or profitable, | directed that
in order to avoid misunderstanding tie
matter should be forthwith closed by
proposing the embodiment in a formal
protocol of the terms upon which the
negotiations for peace were to ne I'M
dertaken. The vague and inexplicit
suggestions Of the Spanish note could
not be accepted, the only reply being
to present as virtual ultimatum a
draft of protocol embodying the precise
terms rendered to Spain in our note of
July 80.
On August IL, NJ Cambon announced
his receipt of full powers to sign the
protocol so submitted. Accordingly,
on the afternoon of August II, M. Cam
bon, as the plenipotentiary of Spain,
and Secretary of State as the plenipo-
tertiary of the United States, signed
the protocol.
Immediately upon the conclusion of
the protocol l issued proclamation
of August II,
SUSPENDING HOSTILITIES
on the part of the United States. The
necessary orders to that end were at
once given by telegraph. The blockade
of the ports of Cuba and San Juan de
Porto Rico was in like manner raised.

TO INCREASE THE ARMY.
The Suggestions of the secretary of War
Fully Approved by the President.

The impor lance of legislation for the
permanent increase of the army is mani
fest. and the recommendation of the Sec
rotary of War for that purpose has my
unqualified approval. There can be no
question that al this time and probably
for some time in the future, one hundred
thousand men will be none too many to
meet the necessities of the situation. At
all events, whether that number shall he
required permanently or not, the power
should be given to the President, to enlist
that force if in his discretion it should
be necessary: and the further discretion
should be given him to recruit for the
army within the above limit from the
inhabitants Of the islands with the gov
eminent of which we are charged.
1t is my purpose to muster out the en-
tire volunteer army as soon as the Con-
gress shall provide for the increase of
the regular establishment. This will be
only an act of justice. and will be much
appreciated by the brave men who lef,
their homes and employments to help the
country in its emergency.
Concernin~ Pacific Railroad affairs, the
President relates at langth the various
phases of the matter as they have APP
peared. and were printed by the news
papers during the past year, but makes
none other than minor recommendations
for the preservation and profitable opera
ton of the property.
Regarding the operations of the Post
office Department and its efficiency.
especially its work during the war, the
President devotes several pages.
The following recommendations of the
Secretary of the Navy relative to the in
crease OF the navy, have my earnest
approval:
Three sca-going sheathed and cop
pered battleships of about 1850 tons trial
displacement, carrying the heaviest armor
and most powerful ordnance for vessels
Of their class, and to have the highest
practicable speed and great radius Of
action Estimated cost. exclusive Of
armor and armament, sseo.ep each.
