missioners ought to have the full con-
fidence of the government, but who can
say who will be in power month
hence?"
The bill authorizing the government
to conclude peace is as follows:
THE reverses suffered by our arms in
the unequal struggle to which we were
driven in order to defend the honor of
the nation and maintain it's rights de-
prived us at an early stage Of the ele-
ments required for continuing the war.
THE bravery of our soldiers and sail
ors proved insufficient. as did the calm
attitude of the nation. ever ready to
shed its blood and sacrifice its re-
sources for the honor of the Spanish
flag.
Separated by wide seas from the
territories it was our object TO pro-
tect, and these territories being closely
blockaded. SO that our few remaining
ships could not reach them, her ma
jesty's government has been compelled
to admit the bitter truth, which Is that
an end must be put to the war.
The sense of responsibility entailed
by the preliminary peace negotiations
has weighed most heavily on the gov
ernment. Notwithstanding 1t fully ap-
preciated its duty toward the country,
the government had to consent to these
preliminary negotiations and to bow
to the cruel sacrifices imposed by sheer
necessity. For this reason. and be-
cause peace must be purchased at the
cost of a cesslon of territory and the
Abandonment of sovereign rights. the
government has thought 1t expedent to
sound the cortes before concluding tha
treaty. the ratification of which will be
duly notified to both chambers, In ac-
cordance with constitutional law
1.-THE government, whose moderate
language will not be found fault with
by the representatives of the nation,
limits itself to submitting to the cor
tes the following bill:
THE government is authorized to
renounce rights of sovereignty and to
cede territory in the Spanish colonies
in accordance with the peace prelimin-
aries agreed upon with the government
of the United States Of America
The bill is signed by all the ministers.
