to be another phase of the matter which
is worthy Of respectful consideration.

vocated. He was opposed by Judge p.
S. Grosscup, OF Chicago, who is an
earnest exparsionist. and who spoke at

part: Il am among those, Mr.. Presi-
dent, who believe that the people of the
United States can, without breach of
faith to the promises of our past or
serious danger to the, expectations of
our future, hold permanently all, or q
portion. of the territory that has been
occupied by our troops during the
progress of the war.
Wars are the thunderstorm of civili-
cation; they never subside without
clearing the atmosphere of much of its
sultriness. The one through which we
are just passing seems to have en-
veloped the people of America in a new
atmosphere. We see, more clearly than
ever before. the things that in this
world can be called our own, and the
things that stand apart from us, the
possessions of others; ourselves, and
our relations to the other nations of the
world as distinct from ourselves. =

look. AS a people. we, for the first
time. look clearly over the empires of

ing Up of the Business.
Madrid, Aug. 2o-FCI Liberal publishes
remarks made by Senior Sagaeta on the
diplomatic and political situation, quot
ing the premier as follows: From a Ie-
gal point OF view the present state of
things is neither peace, nor war, but
merely a suspension of hostilities. An
armistice would have allowed US to dis
pei better the obscurityof the situation:
but the United States declined to agree
to our making a step further in ad-
vance. The questions to be solved are
numerous and complex. What we have
done first is TO lay down certain ba asses
on which each minister may make any
observation which study of the subject
suggests. These will continue TO be
treated in daily cabinet councils, it be-
ing held that the bases in question are
the fundamental instructions for the
guidance of the various commissions in
the forthcoming negotiations, to be
supplemented and rectified subsequent
" by telegraph.
I'm Cuba, besides evacuation. there
are many other problems. Spain may
abandon her sovereignty over the great
er Antilles: but there Will remain the
question Of ediGces and all our prop
critics. There are law suits before the
Spaniards. Where and when will these
be decided? In Havana, where a large
number OF criminals have been con-
demned by the Spanish tribunals. what
is to be done with them? Then there
are other questions for which we have
to fix a basis of discussion and agree
ment regarding the Philippines. Be-
sides these and other problems Of great
er Importance there is preliminary
question to be discussed.
According TO international law sus-
pension of hostilfties has been signed
and the surrender of Manila ought to
have no legal efficacy. How Will that
principle be understood by the United
States? This causes us much anxiety
and we give IL great attention. but we
are still awaiting the information de-
manded from General Jaudenes, which
has not yet reached us on account of
the difficulties Of communication be-
tween Manila and Hong Kong"
These remarks have all the appear
ance of being authentic, as they are in
accord with information from other
sources and in harmony with Senior Sa-
gasta's usual style.
