WHAT SPAIN MUST DO.
Omcial Statement of the Terms She
Must Accept If She Would
Have Peace.

Washington, Aug. 3.-The following
is an official statement given out by
authority of the president Tuesday Is
TO the terms of peace offered by the
United States:
In order to remove any misappre-
hension in regard to the negotiations
as to peace between the United States
and Spain, it is deemed proper to say
that the terms offered by the United
States to Spain in the note handed to
the French ambassador on Saturday
last are in substance as follows:
The president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indem-
nifty, but requires the REIMBURSEMENT
of all claims of sovereignty over or title
TO the island of Cuba as well as the inn
mediate evacuation by Spain of the is
land; the cession TO the United States
and immediate evacuation of Puert 0
Rico and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and
the like cession of an island in the
Ladrones. The United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and harbor
of Manila, pending the conclusion of
treaty of peace which shall deter
mine the control, disposition and gov
eminent of the Philippines. If these
terms are accepted by Spain in their
entirety, it is stated that commission
ers will be named by the United States

lings advanced this morning, met de-
tail sent out to reconnoiter, which re-
ported that there was no sign of the
enemy. The latter, it was said, had
retreated to Aibonito, where he would
make stand. A delegation of the cit
liens of Coamo came out and Col. HUI
llngs was rendered the freedom CT the
city as an American soldier. The citi-
zens reported that the Spanish had
carried away all the money that was
not secreted. The stories of Spanish
barbarity have been greatly exagger-
ated. There is no authentic case of
destruction of private property or out
rage upon women. Gen. Otega is still
at Aibonito, with probably thousand
Spanish regulars. Gen. Stone, with
small force, went Monday afternoon
TO Adjuntas, where Spanish outrages
were reported on Saturday. He will
occupy the town. proclaim American
rule, establish communica ton with
the surrounding country and push
across the Arceibo. on the north coast.
Ponce, Aug. 3.-Arrcyo and Quay
anna were seized Monday and the
American flag hoisted by Capt. Good
rich, of the ST. Louis. A detachment
landed at Arroyo from the Gloucester
and the Wasp and met with no opposi-
ton. After entering the town and
placing it in charge of his men he
moved on to Guayama, four miles west.
Here he found that the Spanish troops
had abandoned the place several days
before. Guayama may be used as
supply depot for our troops.
