ity of the President.

Be Immediate.
Philippines To Be Disposed of
by Treaty.

Washington, Aug. 2-The following is
an official statement given out by auth
ority of the president today as to the
terms of peace offered by the United
States:
In order to remove any nlisapprehen-
sion in regard to the negotiations as to
peace between the United States and
Spain, it is deemed proper to say that
the terms offered by the United States
to Spain in the note handed to the
French ambassador on Saturday last
are in substance as follows:
The president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indemni-
ty but requires the REIMBURSEMENT of
all claim of sovereignty over or title to
the island Of Cuba as well as the i'm
mediate evacuation by Spain of the is
land; the cession to the United States
and immediate evacuation of Porto
Rico and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and the
like cession of an island in the La
drones.
The United States will 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 accept
ed by Spain in their entirety, it is sta
ted that commissioners will be named
by the United States to meet commits
sioners on the part of Spain for the
purpose of concluding a treaty of peace
on the basis above indicated.
No Word From Spain.
Washington. Aug.2.-The cabinet was
in session an hour and ten minutes. 1t
is positively stated no word in any
form has come from Spain nor were

learned, but it was decided to make
public statement of our terms of
peace.

Col. Ibo Leon, while trying to make his
way from Cebu to Manila, was murder
ed by the insurgents outside Zambales.
Other towns have likewise risen and
rejected the Spanish yoke. They have
declared for independence and elected
their own officers. The Spanish forces
in the provinces of Pacasiman have
been concentrated at Dagupar, where
it is believed they can defend them
selves against the insurgents. The

Military Activity.
London, Aug 2-The correspondent

July 29, says:
'The arrival of General Merritt has
given a great stimulus to military ac-
tivity, chiefly in Camp Dewey, where
General Green's brigade has been re-
infOrced by troops from Merritt's trans
port. The occupation of the country
south of Manila has been completed for
about a mile east of the shore, but the
No territory is held by the Americans
north of the town.
General Green, who directs the ac-
tive field operations, has established his
headquarters near the seashOre, under
tn guns of the warships, about 1000
yards from the Spanish position and
from 800 to 1000 yards distant from the
insurgent lines, which approach at one
point within $50 yards of the enemy.
Here occur daily attacks, which are
usually begun by the insurgents. Often
these are apparently severe, but they
have little result and cause few losses.
The Americans have not yet returned a
single shot, although they are constant
ly under fire.
THE situation at the front is most
extraordinary. Each force is guarding
