much for that Of the Spanish govern
ment and military oficials.
The intentions of the United States
as just given certainly coincide with
the terms of the protocol, which pre-
scribeed Manila to be retained, with an
island for a coaling station. There
seems no reason why that island should
net be Luzon, If the American govern.
ment has really decided to settle the
question this way. There Is some rea-
son for the dissatisfaction of the Span
ish commission. as it renders Them
powerless under the protocol.
General Merritt, in both his confer
ences with the commissioners, is known
to have strongly urged upon Mr.. Day
and his colleagues the importance OF
holding all the islands. He described
at length the great advantages to the
United States that would result from
the retention Of the islands and also
pointed out that Spain was absolutely
powerless to restore her authority. The
general believed that the best solution
was complete annexation.
