Natives OF Philippines Anxious For ts TO
Retain the Islands.
A London cable dispatch says: Ms
lives OF the Philippine islsnds and Brit.
ish subjects who have interests there
are alarmed by the reports that the
peace terms include the return OF those
islands to Spain. As result they
have held O meeting in London and af-
ter consultation with the Philippians
In France and Belgium, hpwe csbled
TO President Mckinley and to Senator
Davis, chairman Of the foreign rela-
tions committee. The message to Pres
ident Mckinley Is as follows
"The Philippine residents in Europe
pray you not 10 abandon the Philip
pine islands for the sake Of peace with
Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor of America entitle us TO- your
consideration and support. To hand
over our country again to Spain is
contrary 10 the humanitarian proceed
ings Of your noble nation and the
wish OF oil classes. Civilization, trade
and order will be lost il Spanish au-
therity is re-established in any form"
The message to Senator Davis says:
"a cast.iron agreement binding Spain
to a form OF government satisfactory |
to the inhabitants is preposterous. To |
retain her sovereignty means decep- |
ton, oppression and bigotry. We |
placed our rights in your hands and
pray you to induce the president and /
senate not to abandon in the hour OF |
peace people who, trusting in Amer
lean honor, fight for their common in
terests."

Subtraction Expressed That Spain Has
Sued For Peace.
A cable dispatch from London says:
The equivocal denials from Madrid re-
Gently when inquiries were made on
the subject Of the reported peace me-
gotiations were seemingly given out at
the Spanish capital prior to Spain's
former application at Washington for
peace. Many similar communications
intended for home consumption may
be expected during the negotiations,
but the only purpose OF such denials is
to allay Castilian suscep!ibilities, and
they will not affect the real point at
issue.
The liveliest satisfaction is expressed
in all quarters and in the newspapers
throughout Europe at the fact that
Spain has at last done the right thing
for the first time during the war, and
peace is looked upon as being within
distance.

ing OF negotiations implies cessation
OF hostilities, and IL is believed here
that the United States was at first un.
officially approached and gave o gen.

insist on before NJ. Cambon, the French
ambassador at Washington, presented
his note, and that the formal negotia-
tions will consist chiefly OF the for.
