THE TERMS OF PEACE.
Cuba and Porto Rico Must Become
Our Possessions.


New York, June Ga Washington dis
patch TO the Commercial Advertiser to-
night says:
"The terms of peace upon which the
Administration has determined already
to insist are as follows:
cuba must be delivered to the United
States in trust until a stable government
can be established there by its, inhabi-
tants, or some other disposition of Cuba
must be accepted which will insure its
ultimate independence.
Porto Rico must be ceded absolutely
10 the United States. The United States
must retain naval base and a port in
the Philippines. The United States must
have q naval base in the Ladrone Islands
and in the Caroline Islands. These condi-
tions are the least which the Admins
tration will accept and the least which
the Senate will consent TO have embodied
in a treaty which must come 10 the
Senate for ratification.
THE items enumerated are suggested
primarily by the President in person.
The President has been assured that they
meet the approval of leading Republicans
in the Senate"

1t is announced that Gen. Calixto Gar
cia is expected to arrive shortly at Key
West for the purpose of securing arms
from the United States. He and Vice
President Capote also hope that our Cow
ernment will allow the Cuban troops CO.
operating with US TO fly the lone star flag
of their country. Why not? For two
years our authorities have permitted the
Cuban legation TO fly their national en-
sign over their headquarters in Washing

cord permission to their army to carry the

A City Night.

Come, let us forth, and wander the rich. the
murnuripg night!
The sky blHe dusk OF Summer trembles above
the street;
On either side uprising glimmer houses pale;
But the turbulent bubble and voice Of crowds
delight;
For me the wheels make music, the mingled
cries are sweet;
Motion and laughter call; we hear, we will not
fail.
For see in secret VISTA with soft retiring stars.
With clustered suns, that stare upon the throng
below.
With pendant, dazzling moons, that cast noon
day white,
The full streets beckon: Come, for Toll has burst
his bars,
And idle eyes rejoice and feet unhasting CO.
Oh, let US out and wander the gay and golden

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Urgent Deficiency Bill Passed and
Census Pill Taken Up.


Very little interest was manifested in
the proceedings of the Senate by the
members of that body yesterday.
The urgent deficiency bill carrying over
SIS. .OO0 900 to supply deficiencies in the mill
tary and naval establishments, was passed
Immediately after the opening of the ses-
sion
The bin was passed by the House
June ?.
The Senate added 100000 for printing
for the War Department
The principal items in the bill are Iur
the proposed military expeditions to the
Philippines and Cuba, the Signal Serv-
ice of the Army, the Subsistence Depart
ment $4,000, 000): Medical Department (s50.-
0O0); torpedoes for harbor defense at Ma

gency fund (sl0600.0 00N: Naval Bureau of

and small stores for naval service Isl, ,059,-
COO.
A partial report was made by the con-
ferees on the sundry civil service appro-
priation bill. and was agreed 70 by the
Senate. One of the contentious settled is
the item substituting hand for steam
presses in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. The forestry reserve amend
ment. insisted on so tenaciously by. the
Senate, remains in dispute. The House
conferees have positively refused to re-
cede, and another contest over this mat

Mr.. Pettigrew pressed the consideration
of bin from the committee on Indian
affairs. relative to land legislation in the

Better Have Paid No Compliment

(From the Brooklyn Standard-Union.)
A young gentleman of my acquaintance
created ''an area of low depression" as
Farmer Dunn says. one day last week
and was much mystifed until some one
called his attention to what he had said
to the young lady intending to be COM
plimentary. She dresses her hair la
pompadour. He said to her, II like the
way you are wearing your hair now 1t
makes you look fifteen years younger
She reddened furiously, and replied icily:
'.Well, I like that and bowing to him
with stately courtesy, withdrew from the
room He has tried to think of some
apology that will let him down easy. but
nothing seems to fit the case.

When the former emperor died as his
son, the present emperor, was only seven
years old. it was thought by some and
hoped by foreigners that Prince Kung
might succeed to the throne But he con-
tented himself with establishing the boy
as emperor and yet welding the real
power as the premier. we may say, of the
minor In conjunction with the empress
dowager he executed a marvellous coup
d etat by which he got possession OF the
persons not only of the young emperor,
but also of the Prince of and two others
of the council OF administration, which had
been mismanaging the affairs of the coun>
try These three leaders were tried and
sentenced to death, one in the common
market place and the other two by their
own hands. The other members of the
council were degraded or banished. And
yet, when the present emperor in 1874 as
sumed the reins of government, his first
act was TO degrade Prince Kung and his
son from their hereditary rank as princes
for using Language in many respects un-
becoming" But the next day they We're
restored to their old rank by decree of
the two empresses.
Once before. in 1865 the prince had been
almost ruined. He attempted to pit him
self against the.tWo regent expresses, and
the result was the loss of all his appoint
ments and his dismissal from official life.
But in the short space of five weeks his
friends brought about his reinstatement
in power. These vicissitudes were the US
ual phenomena of Chinese politics, and did
not in the least detract from his general
reputation, The tongue of rumor never

of dishonesty against him''-an assertion
which can rarely be made concerning Chi

ECHOES FROM ABROAD.

The recent death of Prince Kung has re-
moved from this world the most famous
and capable OF the former generation of
Chinese statesmen. He was at his death
only about sixty-eight years old-perhaps
eight years younger than Ii Hung Chang,
who is still in active political service-but
he had been in retirement for several
years. Prince Kung was the next
younger brother OF, the former emperor
of China, and, therefore, the eldest uncle
of the present sovereign. In 1853 he was
a member of a board of three officials to
whom was intrusted the duty of manag-
ing barbarian affairs which was, of
course, the polite Chinese euphepiism for
foreign affairs. In the next year, when
Lord Elgin made his famous expedition
against PeIsin, Prince Kung was the inn
perial commissioner empowered TO treat
with the invaders.
He it was who, when the British consul.
Harry Parkes, had been treacherously
taken prisoner by the Chinese from under
a flag of truce, mitigated the suffering of
his Imprisonment in the hope that Parkes
might be induced to stop the advance of
the British army, ana When the diisa
forces of the French and British seized
the summer palace. near Pekin, they
almost succeeded in capturing both the
empress and Prince Kung. After that
narrow escape the prince concluded that
II was best to release Parkes and the
other prisoners who had been so treach-
erously captured. and succeeded in get
ting them out of Pekin only fifteen min
utes before the arrival of the emperors $

diate execution.

TO pay the Illegal extortions of the Off
