of none of the territory that Presiden'
Mckinley will ask Spain to surrender as
an essent ial of peace. The Spaniards still
hold Manila. Havana and the greater
part of Cuba are still in their possession.
and only few American troops have yet
| landed in Porto Rico. OF course it is
! clear enough to well-informed Spaniards
that all these places must pass into our
hands if the war continues, but the
masses are not well informed, and it may
be exceedingly difficult to convince them
that to surrender without fight would
not argue treachery or extreme cowardice
on the part of the government, and
bring down upon its head the exc
crations of the people. There will be
good deal of spontaneous feeling of this
kind among the people, and good deal
mora will be worked up by the emissaries
of Don Carlos, and perhaps also of the
military party, which is exceedingly
anxious that the army shall have better
chance than has yet fallen to it to vindi-
cate its valor and loyalty to the country.
Probably Spanish education has pro-
| -
ready to surrender Cuba, but that it has
gone far enough to prepare it for any
further sacrifice is open to grave doubt.
But peace cannot be won simply by Civ
ing up Cuba. Porto Rico must surely go
too, and perhaps the Philippines, or part
of them. That the Spanish people are SO
thoroughly humbled and SO fully con-
WINGED of the uselessness of further
resistance as to be willing to make these
sacrifices of territory for peace is very
Questionable While not doubling that
Sagasta entertains sincere desire for
peace we very much doubt if he expects
an immediate peace as the result Of his
inquiry of our government. He antici.
pates very likely that our demand will
be greater than public sentiment in Spain
will be willing at the present time to
accede to.
Nevertheless, Sagastas inquiry will
make for peace ultimately. Though the
first effect; of the PRONUNCIATION of our
terms may be violent demand on the
part of the people for their rejection,
the discussion they will give rise to will
gradually open their eyes to the real stu
alton, and in time convince them that it
would be more than useless to resist.
| The more the Spaniards become tamil
iarized with the idea of the loss of terri
tory the more reconoiled they will become
| to it. Furthermore q good deal of pres
sure is likely to BIO put upon them by the
European powers, which see the utter
hopelessness Of Spain's continuing the
struggle, to accept. the terms which we
offer. Therefore, while we doubt if peace

we believe that peace will ultimately re-

SPAIN AND PEACE

The Spanish government has asked our
government on what terms it will be
willing to conclude peace. 1t cannot
properly be said to have sued for peace,
for that would imply a willingness on its
part to accept the best terms it could get.
Whether Sagasta's application leads to
an early peace depends very largely upon
the nature of the terms offered and
the way they strike the Spanish people.
It certainly admits of grave doubt if the
terms that our government will offer will
be acceptable enough to the Spanish
people in general and to the military
party in particular to enable Sagasta to
listen to them at this time without danger
of bringing on an uprising at home that
will turn him out and perhaps threaten
the existence of the dynasty. The hope
less condition which Spain is in is not
realized probably by the masses of The
people. All the defeats that Spain has
suffered have been minimized by the
government, and by the official journals
under its control, and the public deceived
as TO the real situation. Furthermore, as
matter of fact We are in actual possession

The statements put forth by cores
pondents of the terms of peace our govern
ment will submit to Spain are the merest
guess work. Probably the government
itself has not yet made up its mind on
many points. OF course Spanish with
drawal from Cuba will be dem anded, for
to free Cuba was the main object Of the
war, and as compensation in part for the
expense we have been put to we shall
doubtless demand the possession of Porto
Rico, either permane ntly or as guaran-
tee for the payment of money indem-
nifty. As to the Philippines the situation
is not so clear. There is vigorous and
widespread opposition in this country to
the retention of them on any terms But
we have sent large army there and have
put ourselves under some obligations to
the rebels. 1t is not going to be easy,
therefore, for US TO withdraw completely
anG hand the islands back to Spain. The
disposition of these islands is likely to
be by far the most difficult matter to deal
with in peace negotiations, and we i'm
agine that before decision is arrived at
there will be long and animated discus
sion. The element that demands that
the flag be kept up over every foot Of ter
ritory where it has been raised is not GO
ing to succumb without desperate fight.
1t seems to be fact, however, that the
jingo congressman since they have
mingled with their constituents are much
less jingoish than they were, having dis
covered that the country is not SO hot for
war as they thought, and that augurs
well for moderation on our part in max
ing our demands.
