THE ONLY PEACE TERMS.
The Conditions which the President and
Senate win Consent to for Stop
ping the War.

New YORK, June "A Washington
special to the Commercial Advertiser
says that the terms of peace upon
which the administration has deter
mined already to insist are as Sollowss
Cuba must be delivered to the United
States in trust until stable govern
ment can be established there by it's
inhabitants or some other disposition
of Cuba must be accepted which will
insure its ultimate independence;
Porto Rico must be coded absolutely
to the United States; the United States
must retain naval base and a port In
the Philippines, and the United States
must have a naval base in the Ladrone

These conditions are the last which
the administration will accept, and
they are the least which the senate
will consent to have embodied in a
treaty, which must come to the senate
for ratification.

LONDON, June 1.-THE st. James
Gazette yesterday publishes a long
editorial pointing out the hopelessnesa
of any further Spanish resistance and
suggests that the Americans seek a
settlement of the Cuban question in
Spain. 1t says:
There is no need OF an invasion, but the mere
presence Of u strong armament which the
Spanish navy could not drive OF, on the coast
would produce tremendous effect, and there
are numerous unfortihed anchorages where
the Americans could recoal with leisure. OF
course there are powers In Europe who would
witness the operation with great disgust, but

the vague abstraction called Europe they must

WASHINGTON June 0-Every shot

the carefully calculating admiral OF

who expected Sampson and Schley to

American commanders had different

Santiago harbor and city. There will
be none. The bombarding will go on
The landings which have been made
will be held. The fighting will DO
continuous Deeper and deeper into
the magazines the Spaniards will have
to go for their ammunition. 1t will
not be many days until the inevitable
will confront the Spanish general
and the Spanish admiral. Always i'm.
provident and regardless of possible
emergencies, the Spanish government
has no reserve stock of powder and
projectiles at Santiago. Only a linn
tied amount of shooting can be done.
There is no source from which to
draw additional supplies When the
stock on hand gives out the end must
come. The American officers are fully
informed of the weakness of the Span.
iards. They know the lack of means
for prolonged defense.
