TENT or THE SPANISH BILL.
Authorizing the Government to Con
clude Peace.
Lnndon. Sentemher S.-Accordinr

London, September S.--According TO
the Madrid correspondent of the Times.
the following Is the text of the bill au-
thorizing the Government to conclude
peace:
'The rcvcrses suffered by our arms in
the unequal struggle to which we were
driven in order to defend the honor of the
nation and maintain it's right, deprived
us at an early stage of the elements re-
quircd for continuing the war.
''rhe bravery of our soldiers and sailors
proved insufficient, as did the calm atti-
tude of the nation. ever ready to shed its
blood and sacrifice it's resources for the
honor of the Spanish flag.
Separated by wide seas from the ter
ritories it was our object TO protect, these
territories being closely bl0ckaded so
that our few remaining ships could not
reach them, Her Majcsty's Government
has been compelled to admit the bitter
truth, which is that an end must be
put to the war.
"The sense of responsibility cntailed
by the preliminary peace negotiations
has weighed most heavily on the Govern
mcnt. Notwithstanding it fully apprecia-
ted it's duty toward the country the Gov
crnment has had to consent to these pre-
liminary negotiations and to bow to the
cruel sacrifices imposed by sheer neces-
sity. For this reason and because peace
must be purchased ut the cost Of a ces-
sion of territory and the abandonment
of sovereign rights, the Government has
thought it cxpedient to sound the Cortcs
before concluding the treaty, the ratifca-
fion of which will be duly notified to both
Chambers in accordance with cOnstitu-
tional law.
The Government. whose moderate lam
guage will not be found fault with by the
representatives of the nations. limits il
self to submitting to the Cortes the fol-
lowing bill whose first and only article
is:
THE Government is authorized to re-
nounce rights of sovereignty and to cede
territory in the Spanish colonies in ac-
cordance with the peace preliminaries
agreed upon with the Government of the
United Stats of America.
The Times correspondent says the bill
is signed by all the Ministers.

State Department for the same terms

many might claim and procure the benc-
fits of any reductions in the tariff dues
accorded to France under the reciprocity
sections of the Dingley tariff act, if she
cares to enter into Il reciprocity arrange
ment of her own upon similar terms,
