Spain Thinks Terms Arc Severe.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says:
The conflicting accounts Of tho
American peace terms and n sus-
piclon that the Washington govern
mcnt was tcmporizing in order
to confront Spain with the occupation
Of Porto Rico and the capitulation Of
Manila, originally caused irritation
and provoked strong language, but it
is now seen that tho suspicion was un-
founded. The terms, however, are re-
garded as very hard, and the annex
alton Of Porto Rico and the reputation
Of the colonial debt is characterized as

Await Dewey's Demand.
INSURGENTS LIKE THE CUBANS
General Merritt Evidently Expects the
Insurgents 10 Furnish Moat OF the
Troubie-slgnlnoant Dispatches Be-
oelved From Merritt and Dewey.

Hone KoNd, Aug 1.-The American
steamer Zafiro has arrived here from
Manila. Before the zaaro left Adj
miral Dewey had received an intima'
ton from the Spanish authorities that
they were ready to surrender Manila
when called on by him. AS soon as
the city Is occupied the cable between
Hong Kong and Manila will be con-
nected by the Americans,
WASHINGTON, Aug. l.--Gcneral Mer-
rift has again cabled the War depart
mcnt relative to the situation In Ma
Mia, which he finds very unsatisfactory
and dangerous, owing to the attitude
Of the insurgents.
In the opinion Of General Merritt
the attitude OF the insurgents there Is
similar to that assumed by Garcia's
CubOns upon the question of their
rights to enter and possess themselves
Of the city, although in this case the
insurgents are very much more for
midable element, being not only more
numerous but better armed and filled
with the arrogance following numerous
victories over their Spanish foes Gen
eral Merritt, however, indicates that
he will do his utmost to protect the
citizens from the savagery of the In
surgents, though his task Is delicate
and difficult one because OF the fact
that he must, while fighting the Span
iards, be ready at any moment to repel
the insurgents,
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
for joint demand for the surrender
Of the city to the United States forces,
thus forestalling the insurgents, and
this move may cause rupture. 1t is
possible, in view Of the fact that Gen
eral Merritts cablegram was sent
from Cavite last Thursday, that this
movement has been made already by
the combined American military and
naval force, although there Is some
doubt about this on account Of state
ment from Merritt that he may need
all of his soldiers before attacking.
Still it Is possible that the demand
might be made without an attack
which may be deferred until all the
troops have reached Cavite.
Up to the date Of the report General
Merritt had with him about 10000 sol
diers. So far several expeditions have
left San Francisco carrying soldiers to
the Philippines and II is the intention
to furnish Merritt at least 5000 men
more than his present force. If he
delays the attack until all these have
reached him Manila will not be taken
in that way before September, as the
last of the troops have not yet started
from San Francisco. 1t may be, how
ever, that the arrangement as to the
Philippines, which, 1t is expected, will
be included in the peace treaty, will
obviate the necessity for further ac-
ton upon the part Of the American
commanders.
Secretary Alger and Secretary Long
are in conference with the President
over the serious situation in the Phil
ippines. Secretary Alger admitted the
receipt of significant dispatches from
Merritt and Dewey, but declined to
state their exact nature.

Thomas, Major General Miles hourly
expects the arrival OF the transports
having on board Brlgadier General
Schwan's division of 5000 men and
also the Mohawk, with the Fifth reg
ular cavalry.
General Henrys division, consisting
of 0, 400 men and including thirty-six
pieces of artillery, has been ordered to
march Immediately from Yauco to
Ponce to be ready to join the move
ment north TO San Juan. The six
tenth Pennsylvania regiment was
sent this Saturday morning toward
Juana Diaz, eight miles north Of Ponce
on the way to San Juan. The railroad
from Ponce to Ysuco is now in posses
sion Of our troops. General Stone
found five mines on the track. These
were destroyed and the track is unin-
| jured.
Our troops found seventeen Span
iards in the Yauco hospital, all OF
whom had been wounded in Tuesdays
fight, Two OF them have since died.
General Miles has issued lengthy
order of instructions to General Will
son, who will be military governor of
Ponce province and city until General
Broolse's arrival, 1t is ofthe same tenor
as the instructions which General
Miles gave to General Shafter at San.
tiago Both orders are based on the
administration instructions given to
General Merritt regarding the govern
ment of the Philippine islands. The
local mayor and judges and police will
remain in authority, subject to the
orders Of General Wilson. The Gus
tom house Offices will also be conduct
ed as formerly for the present.
The question of the proper discount
on Porto Rican silver gives some trou-
BILE to General Miles, but he says this
will settle itself in due time.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 9.-An army OF

Now that the administration feels as
sured that peace Is near at hand, mr..
engagements are making TO send a large
force to Cuba TO establish law and

the ten immune regiments will be sent
ahead.
The Cuban army OF occupation will
consist entirely of volunteers, The
entire army Of regulars under the com
mand of Major General Shafter will be
brought back TO the United States and
encamped Mt Montauk Point
General Lee will be given command
OF the Cuban army OF occupation and
made military governor OF the entire
island.
The army Of occupation will be dis
tributed over the entire island, Regi.
mcnts will be stationed at all the large
cities and towns, and Havana will bo
filed with American soldiers, Mill
tary rule will be established in Cuba
until the natives show they are capa-
