SENATOR FORAKER
Wants to Hold Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines and to Annex Cuba.

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator For
aker, of Ohio. the only Republican mem
Der OF the committee on foreign relations
IN the city, said tonight that while he
was very glad 10 see the end of the war
is In sight, he did not wish to take any
position which would appear to be fore
stating the action of the administration.
The treaty OF peace, when concluded, he
said, would be submitted to the Senate.
II was his opinion that whatever terms
were made, the reasons for them would
be such as to commend them to the judy
ment Of the Senate and they would be
agreed to. especially as hostilitiss would
have been ended. Senator Foraker SAID
his views were, of course well known
i do not think we should give up any
territory of which we have taken possess
SION" said he. I'VE should retain Porto
Rico and the Philippines and give TO Cuba
an independent government and maintain
such relations with the people as will ul-
timately bring about the annexation of
the island TO the United States by the
desire of the people themselves, as IN the
case of Hawaii The independence Of the
people of Cuba is due to them for the
splendid fight they have made for three
years against Spain. They have made
their independence possible"
Senator Foraker said he did not see how
1t was possible 10 turn the Philippine ISL
ands back TO Spain.

OF all en- board this ship. When
they found the Oregon had paseed
to the front and was hurrying to .
succession of conflicts with the en-
emy's vessels X they could be
overtaken and would engage their
enthusiasm was intense.
5-As these vessels were so much
mere heavily armored than the
Brooklyn they might have concen-
trated upon and oyerpowered her
and consequently | am persuaded
that but for the way the officers
and men of the Oregon steamed
and steered the ship and fought
and supplied her batteries the
Colon and perhaps the vizeaya
would have escaped Therefore I
feel that they rendered meritorious
service to the country, and while
l cannot mention the name of each
officer and man individually, / am
going to append the list of officers
with their stations that they oc-
cupied, hoping that they may be
of service to them should the
claims for others for advancement
above them ever be considered.
(Here Captain Clark gives list
Of the officers and their positions
in the fight.)

SENATOR MORGAN
Outlines Some of the Demands He
Would Make Upon Spain as the
Price Of Peace.

Washington, July Ex-senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, senior Democratic
member Of the foreign relations COM
nlittee of the Senate, regards the
peace proposals as sign OF submits
sion by Spain.
The power of Spain is broken" said
he tonight, land 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 his
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,
lines and the Ladrones. | would make
this surrender the subject of a sepa-
rate and exclusive treaty. | would de-
mand of Spain a surrender uncondi-
tional in every particular and with
out any reference to what we may
wish to do with the territory hereafter.
| would not allow any ifs nor 'and's'
about it. This treaty should be in
such terms that the United States can
be free to act without any conditions,
anu II sHOuIu De the llrSC proposition
on which to base peace"
Il would also demand as one of the
first conditions of peace" added SEN
ator Morgan, 1.-THE opening of jail doors
to all prisoners confined for political
offenses. l would extend this PROPOSE
tion so as to include all political pris-
oners from Cuba, Porto REQ, or the
Philippines. 1t should free all who
havesbeen imprisoned because of par
ticipation In the insurrection.
After this treaty covering the sur
render of dominions and release of po-
litical prisoners has been concluded I
would take up the matter Of war in
demnity. This covers several topics,
some Of which I do not care to discuss
at this time. Individually, I should
want to consider the matter of coal
| ing station in the Canary islands off
| the coast of Africa. Further, would
| require guarantee from Spain that she
will assume all responsibility for any
debts that might prove a lien upon
Cuba-or upon Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines for that matter"

cred Of such moment that the ca
bic report to one q the foreign
Offices cost over hundred dollars.
The conference Of Secretaries
Alger, Bliss and Wilson and Post
master General Emery Smith
with President Mckinley lasted
until nearly midnight At its con-
clusfon Secretary Alger said that
no special cabinet meeting had
been called for tomorrow and he
saw no prospect of one. Probably
no regular session of the cabinet
will be necessary for the Presi-
dent to determine upon his answer
to the French ambassador. In
fact, from what was said by menu
bers of the cabinet who have con-
suited with the President, it seems
practically determined to accept
the offer to open negotiations. 1t
was stated that in effecting set
tlement some beginning had to be
made The offer made to-day was
such a beginning. Nothing could
be known about the terms upon
which the negotiations will be
conducted or proposals to be made
until there had been a further con-
ference 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 cam
paign and the war would go for
ward with vigor.

GEN. BROOKE DOESN'T KNOW.

NEWPORT NEWS Va. July 26-As
yet no troops have embarked for Porto
Rico except Company D, Fourth Illinois,
which was ordered to proceed TO Old Point
this afternoon and go on board the aux
Hilary cruiser St. Louis.
When the trcop will leave for Porto
Rico IS still n matter of conjecture. Ma
jor General Brooke, who is in command
OF the first army corps. doesn't know
when the second brigade, Gen. Hams
comma nding, Will depart. The troops are
ready but the transports are not. To the
Associated Press correspondent, Gen.
Brooke said tonight:
"I cannot state just when we will san
that depends upon the progress made to-
night in loading the transports. l think,
however, that the troops will depart In
a day or so, probably late tomorrow
evening or early Thursday morning"

For Accepting the lnevitable-Probable
American Action.

London, July 27.-The Times in an
editorial this morning applauding
Spain for accepting the inevitable, adj
vises her to face the facts of the po-
litical situation with the same frank
courage which secured the respect Of
the Americans on the battlefield"
Discussing the probable terms OF
peace. the Times says:
The United States will probably
take Porto Rico in lieu of money in
demnity and II would be best for the
world at large IL America boldly under
