Petition for Immediate Removal North and Such Course

Days visit to Cambon last night was
devoted to making clear what Spain
apparently has not fully comprehend
ed before, that the evacuation of Cuba
Porto Rico and the Ladrone island to
be selected by the United States, and
their cession. except Cuba, is made a
precedent to all peace negotiations.
and that not till these conditions are
fully complied with would this gov
ernment consest to entertain any
peace propositions whatever.
A long conferences between the
president, Secretaries Day and Long
was held this forenoon. Secretary
Day and the French ambassador were
together going over the peace propo-
sitions until 10 o'clock this morning.
The former has full confidence that
there will be'little serious delay or dick
ering of closing the details OF peace.
Others who have gone over the
ground and conferred with officials
express the belief that the outcome OF
peace has very nearly been attained.
A member of the cabinet who met
the president this afternoon says he is
certain the final reply Of Spain to our
note will be received before the close
of the week.

BURROWS ON PEACE IYRMS
says We Must "Give- the CubaBs a Free
Government Come Day.

Washington, Aug. 4-Senator Bur-
rows, OF Michigan, was at the war de-
partment yesterday. The senator said
that he had no means Of judging what
would be the prevailing sentiment OF
the senate as u the treaty OF peace. as
he had no conversation with any of his
coieagues on the subject recently As
.or myself, L don't care to go very
deeply into a discussion of the subject
at the time, but in general terms I take
this view OF 1t: We must have absolute
possession of Porto Rico. and Spain
must relinquish comp eie.y her s1ver-
eighty over Cuba. We should retain
permanently the island of Porto Rico
towards Cuba We will act In good
faith and with perfect justice. giving
10 the people Of the island a free and
independent government as soon as il
can be established.
we must see to 1t that a good and
Stable government is established. and
or course the future will depeud upon
the ability Cf the people of Cuba TO
govern themselves, the United States
giving tEem all possible assistance and
every opportunity to maintain them
serves as free and independent people.
AS 10 the Philippines. I do not believe
that We want the entire group Of ISL
ands. with its several millions of semi
barbarous people. In my opinion. We
should retain one entire is.ani-the hes,
IN the whole group for our purposes
absolutely as our own. for a naval sta
tion and commercial base.
our ownership of the entire island
should be absolutely complete, with no
vestige of Spanish influence anywbera
uponit. This would give US all 1--we want for
the development and protection of our
commerce. The rest of the group OF
islands might go back to Spain or the
people might be Jeff to work out their

PHILIPPINE ADMINISTRATION.
Comment on the Situation in View of
Peace Treaty.


Washington, Aug Am interesting
question and one of vital importance to
the administration is the attitude to be
assumed by the United States towards
the Philippine insurgents in the event
that We reach an agreement for the sus-
pension Of hostilities with Spain. 1t is
stipulated in our peace terms that the
United States military forces shall oc-
cupy end establish a military form Of
government over the city of Manila and
the bay with the surrounding territory.
This involves an immediate surrender
or the Spanish forces-not to Aguinaldo
but to General Merritt-and there Is
some apprehension that the insurgents
will resent this very bitterly. .fand that it
will be necessary to expel them forcibly
frpm the territory described.
Beyond this it is said in some quarters
that pending the decision Of the peace
commissioners as to the future of the
Philippines the GIFTED States will be
morally bound to maintain the statu
quo in the islands II large. In other
words, having deprived Spain of the
means Of resisting fhs onsIaughte of the.
Insurgents the United States would be
bound 10 prevent the latter from oon-
tnuing their warfare. There is a lack
of information in Washington on many
important points as to the conditions in
ths Philippines.
Fer instance. IT is not known even ap-
ProXinately how extensive the reyolu-
tionary movement has been through
cut the vast group Of loo islands and
among the large population estimated
10 aggregate between s.oo0. 900 and 49,
oeo,000. If the revolutionary movement
Is general and extends to very many Of
the ISLANDS the task presented to tha
United States military and naval au-
horities viii be one of great magnitude
in the event that 1t Is decided to be in
e1mbent upon us NOT to restore Span
ish sovereignty where II has been lost,
but to prevenNfts overthrow In sections
where 1t Is still supreme. and to prevent
excesses and outrages at the hands of
the insurgents.
