EUROPEAN INTRIGUES.
Russia Encourages a Combination to
Check America

Check America.
New York, July ga dispatch to the
World from Madrid says: 1t is author
itatively stated that Russia is more
active than even Germany or Austria
in automatically prompting Spain and
in moving for a combination OF the
continental powers to do something to
check the United States.
At different stages of the war the
Russian government has assured the
Spanish foreign ministry that it does
not want any European power nor
America to establish herself in the
Spanish archipelagoes in Oceanica. But
having reasons of its own for not wish
ing to appear too openly to help Spain,
fearing it might promote an under
standing between Great Britain and the
United States, Russia has encouraged
Germany to exert pressure at Manila,
and has induced France to take the
lead in demonstrations of sympathy,
which the French foreign ministry
only reluctantly consented to do.
Ever since then Russia and the vati-
can, with the aid of the Austrian court
though contrary to the judgment of
the Austrian chancellor, Count Goluch-
owski, have been arranging for con-
certed action by the continental pow
ers to interfere, both when an Ameri-
can squadron comes to Europe, and
when, in the peace negotiations, the
question of the Philippine Islands
comes up. Then Russia and France
will plead in behalf of Spanish inter-
ests to prevent the United States, Ger
many or Japan interfering.
London, July 27-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: The
result of protracted negotiations in
tiated by Germany, is that the powers
have arrived at formal agreement to
oppose American annexation of the

DOESN'T WANT MUCH.
Morgan Would Strip Spain of All
Her Possessions.

Washington, July Ex-senator Nor
gan of Alabama, senior Democratic
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee of the senate. regards the peace
proposition as a sign of submission by
Spain.
The power of Spain is broken" said
he tonight, and it is plain that there
is nothing to stop us now short of the
Spanish border.
Concerning the terms of peace, Sen
ator Morgan has clearly defined ideas.
My first proposition" he explained
would be the complete surrender by
Spain of all territory over which the
flag floats. This would include Cuba,
Porto Rico. the Philippines. the Caro-
lines and the Ladrones. I'would make
this surrender the subject of A sep
arate and exclusive treaty. I would
demand of Spain a surrender uncondi-
tional in every particular and without
any reference to what we may wish
to do with the territory hereafter. I
would not allow any ifs nor 'ands'
about il. This treaty should be on such
terms that the United States can be
free to act without any conditions, and
it should be the first proposition on
which 10 base peace.
u would also demand as one of the
first conditions of peace" added Sen
atOr morgan, the opening OF Jail doors

offenses. l would extend this PROPOSE
ton so as to include all political prison.

ippines. It should free all who have
been imprisoned because of participa-

After this treaty covering the sur
render of dominions and release of po-
litical prisoners has been concluded"

matter of war indemnity. This covers
several topics. some of which 1 do not

ually, l should want to consider the

claim compensation for the loss of
German firms at Manila, because,
though Spain is officially mistress of
the Philippines, she has no voice there,
but when a solid government has been
provided for the islands, then Germany
will raise a claim. The Gazette says
also that Germany has a fleet at Ma
Mia for no other purpose than to pro-
tect German interests while anarchy

OFFER WILL BE ACCEPTED.

The conference of Secretaries Alger,
Bliss, Wilson and Postmaster General
Emory Smith with President McKin-
ley lasted until nearly midnight At
its conclusion Secretary Alger said that
no special cabinet meeting had been
called Cor tomorrow, and he saw no
prospect for one. Probably no regular
session of the cabinet will be necessary
for the president to determine upon his
answer to the French ambassador. In
fact, from what was said by members
of the cabinet who have consulted with
the president, il seems practically ie-
termined to accept the offer to opel
negotiations. 1t was stated that III ef-
feeting a settlement some beginning
had to be made The offer made today
was such a beginning. Nothing could
be known about the terms on which the
negotiations will be conducted or pro-
posals to be made until there has been
a further conference by those having
the matter in charge.
Secretary Alger again stated when
he left the White House that there
would be no change in the plans of the
campaign. and that the war would be
pushed with Vigor
