A Statement of the Peace Terms Given
Out by the President.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Following is an
official statement given out by author
ity of the president to-day as to the
terms of peace offered by the United
States:
I'm order to remove any misapprehen-
sion in regard to the negotiations as to
peace between the United States and
the terms offered by the United States
in the note handed to the French am
bassador on Saturday last are in sub
stance as follows:
THE president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indem-
nifty. but requires the REIMBURSEMENT
of all claim of sovereignty over or title
to the island of Cuba, as well as the inn
mediate evacuation by Spain of the ISL
and; the cession to the United States
and immediate evacuation of Porto
Rico and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies and like
cession of an island in the Ladrones.
The United States win occupy and hold
the city. bay and harbor of Manila,
pending the conclusion of a treaty of
peace, which shall determine the con-
troll, disposition and government of the
Philippines.
IF these terms are accepted by Spain

that their inquiry will be on the most
general lines. The principal question is
what form of government shall be
raised. The commissioners are nom
communicative as to their ideas. They
will no doubt wait until they have COM

statement of their views. | understand

eral Sternberg of the army, who be-

grounds. Manassas is about 40 miles
south from Washington and near a
mountainous country, and the town
proper is on the line of direct railroad

The troops will be scattered over a wide
area. The start from Camp Alger is tc

WAITING FOR NEWS.
Washington Has Heard Nothing Yet ohici
aIIy-Phases of the War.


Washington, Aug. 2.-Although this
was the third day since the president
delivered to NJ. Cambon the terms Of
fered by the United States to Spain as
a basis of peace, no answer came from
Madrid, and in fact one was scarcely
expected. The press reports of the long
cabinet meetings held at the Spanish
capital yesterday indicated that the
Spanish cabinet was unprepared at
least to accept the terms offered at
once and without appearing to attempt
to secure some modification in the in
terest of Spain.
1t is felt that such a course is abso-
Iutely imposed upon the Sagasta min
istry by the existing conditions in Mad
rid. Nevertheless, it not to be seen
that the president cherishes the slight
est intention of consenting to any es-
sential notifications of the conditions,
and the slight delay that has occurred
in making answer is not believed TO be
discouraging nor to be taken as sign
of the purpose of the Spanish cabinet
ultimately to reject the proposition.
When the doors of the state depart
ment closed this afternoon it was real
lied that owing to the difference If
time between Washington and Madrid
there was little chance of receiving the
expected answer before tomorrow,
and, indeed. should it come tonight,
the French ambassador would not be
able to deliver it, because the time re-
| quired for its translation would make
| the hour too late and the announce
ment would not be made until to-mor-
row.

ment of their apprehension of serious
trouble to follow the execution Of our

News has been received here to-day

report is that General Garcia has been

probably the force that evacuated Nipe

the Spaniards in this engagement, or at
least held his own. The Cuban dispatch

taken from the enemy and the Spanish
cavalry had been defeated.
