NEW YORK. Feb. 21.-Howard
Could owner of the 100000 pleasure
craft Niagara, which has been launched
at Wilmington, Del, says that if neces-

Government.
LAS matter Of fact" said Mr.. Gould,
Il believe that the war rumorS have
been exaggerated, and / certainly hope
that there will be no need for the Mag
ara or any other vessel. The yacht will
not be ready for two or three months,
and by that time / guess there will be no
call FOR naval reserve boats.
The Niagara is not fast enough for a
dispatch boat, and | do not know just
how il might be used for Government
purposes, but if needed, it will be on
hand"
The Niagara not only is the largest
steam yacht ever built in the United
States, but represents the highest type
Of naval construction as applied to a

May Not Accept Our Terms.


Washington, July 28.-It has been
suggested in some quarters that
Spain has been di-iugenious in max.
ms advances last Tuesday, and that
her real purpose was to develop the
position OF the United States regard
ing PHILIPPINES, hoping in this way to
secure the active. support of some Of
the European powers that have so
far held aloof from her. While this
belief Is not seriously entertained at
the State Department., the Govern
ment, without regard to its soundness,
will proceed in a plain, straighttor-
ward way to let Spain know what is
expected Of her if she desires peace.
1t is not likely that any of the
European powers could profit ma
terially by learning what the inten-
tons Of the United States are, but at
any rate. 1T is due to the world at
large and in the interests of fair deal
ing in international matters, that u
statement should be made. It should
be confessed that little hope enter
tanned that Spain will accept the
terms proposed. On the contrary, a
wave OF popular indignation is ex-
pecterl to sweep over the peninsula
upon the announcement of the con
ditions, which will cause the Spanish
government to drop all peace nego-
~tiations and sullenly fg hit on.
Madrid, July %, . p. M.--With the
understanding that no indemnity will
be demanded and that Spanish SOW
ereignity in the PHILIPPINES will be
respected, the newspapers here con-
slider that the terms Of peace attrib-
uted to President Mckinley, as be-
ing acceptable. The papers, how
ever, protest against the continuance
of hostilitics by the Urited States
after Spain had sued foI peace.
The Minister for War, General
Correa, is arranging for the reception
of the. Spanish troops which sur.
rendered at Santiago de Cuba. and is
preparing sanitary stations in order
to prevent the Introduction Of dis.
ease INTO Spain.
