PEACE OR WARP
Washington. Nov. 81 The state de
partment holds that the cessation OI
negotiations at Paris does not nee ssar
lily wipe out all that ~ a ccOmplished by
the protocol Spain has agreed TO posi-
lively relinquish sovereignty over Cubs
aud Porto Rico. and eyacuate thest
islands and cede one Of the l. drOnC
islands for the naval station. Thesy
agreements are betOnd recall, aud all
that Ia left 10 be settled at Paris related
to the Philippines.
As 10 what shall follow nOw-peace OI
war-Oflicials are not clear Earnest
consideration will be given this subject
before any decision Ia announced. Il IL
not believed that the Spanish forces In
cuba will attack the United States
forces. The latter will not attack Nc
long as the Spanish contilue 10 carry
out the terms Of the protocol.
About the only questions 10 be- deter
m ned are those connected vii h the Phil
ippines. Ii Is not believed that Spain
Will make any fort TO racOnquer the
islani- Meanwhile, tho United States
military and naval commanders will
probably be directed to extend their
occupation at once TO the whole gro up OF
the Islands. though il is OF clear that
this an be accomplished without hos
tile ash with the insurgents.
