THE AMERICAN REJoTNDER.

The rejoinder of the American
peace commissioners to the Spanish
reply in the matter of the Philippines
emphasizes two points: First, that
when the American government, at
the request Of Spain, submitted terms
on which peace negotiations would
be conducted iC declared that Spain
must accept or reject them in their
entirety. These terms were prac-
tically identical with those that were
afterward embodied in the protocol.
Second, that when the Spanish foreign
minister sent his letter of Aug. 9TH,
making the point that Spain a priori
reserved her sovereignty In the Phil
ippines, the American government
presented the protocol as the only
basis for peace negotiations. Spain
accepted the protocol without further
communication, verbal or otherwise.
This illustrates the difference be
tween American and Spanish diplo-
macy. 1t was understood in this
country and in Europe that there was
to be no higgling over terms of
peace. The United States presented
a plain, direct proposition which
Spain was to accept or reject. If
she rejected the proposition, our
army, with guns trained on the
Spanish lines in Porto Rico, and our
army and navy, with guns trained on
Manila, and our battle-shlps ready
to sail for the coast of Spain, would
proceed on instructions that con-
templated the crushing of Spanish
power not only in the West Indies,
but in the far East and in Europe
Spain was the suppliant and the
United States was debating terms.
Spain accepted, and no questions
were raised as to the meaning of the
protocol until the Philippine question
came up at Paris. Then the Spanish
commissioners brought forward the
letter of Aug. 9TH, as though it was
an authoritative Interpretation of the
terms of the protocol.
This contention was absurd on it's
face, but it was in keeping with
Spanish diplomacy. It was most de-
sIrable that any ground for suspicion
or any doubt as to the position of
this government be cleared away at
once. The statement of the Ameri-
can commissioners makes it clear to
Spain and to all Europe that in this
controversy the American idea of
diplomacy is TO prevail.
Spain was at the mercy of the
United States when she asked for
peace. Her navy had been de-
stroyed; one of her strongholds in
Cuba had been captured; an army of
100000 men was ready to strike at
Havana; our navy in the Atlantic
was foot loose to strike at Havana,
or at the Spanish coast; the only
Spanish stronghold in the Philippines
was practically In our hands, and
General Miles was tightening his grip
on the Spanish army in Porto Rico.
Without allies, without navy, with
a demoralized army, and with revolu-
tion threatening at home, Spain ao-
cepted the terms of the United
States, and these terms are to be
carried out.
