would be appointed by the president to re-
ceive and propose terms to like commits
sion for Spain. He said that probably such

selected, in order that the treaty when con-
cluded, could be explained by men in the

A CUNNING TRICK
How Spain Hoped to Save Porto Rico.
A DaY Too Late

MADRID, July 26.-An official dispatch
from San Juan de Porto Rico confirms the
report of an American landing a Porto de
Guanica. The Spaniards had one officer
killed and three soldiers wounded Tho
Americans, with strong military forces,
have established themselves on shore.
The ministerial Ell Correo, in an important
article declaring that the seizure of Porto
Rico is "only an afterthought on the part of
the United States" says:
the Washington government ignores the
steps Spain has already taken in favor of
peace, and therefore in accordance with the
most elementary principles of international
law, acts posterlor to these steps cannot be
taken account of in treaty negotiations.
