The News of the Landing at Guanfcs
Surprised War officials.

The News OF the Landing at Guanfca
Surprised War ON cials.
Washington. July 27.-Guanica. the
point of debarkation Of the Porto Rican
expeditionary force. is a small town OF
1000 inhabitants on the southern coast
OF the island. On a rough calculation 1t
is less than 20 miles air line distant
from Ponce and 6E miles from San
Juan. against which the assault is to
be directed Guanica Is about six miles
south OF Yauco. Of which city il forms
the port. and with which II is connect
eded by a good road The town is stu
ated on q bay of the same name which
forms one Of the best ports IN the
whole island The conspicuous advan-
tage of this port. aside from It's ax-
cellent harbor facilities for the trans
ports Is the utter absence OF fortifica-
lions of mines.
The news of the handing OF General
Miles at Guanica came as a genuine
surprise to the war department II had
been all carefully planned that he was
to make his landing at another point,
as remote as possible from the place
where he actually landed. so there was
little wonder that the officials received
the first news OF the landing with in
credulity. and even went to the length
of supposing that the story had been
put afioat in order to distract atten-
ton from the point which had been Sc
| lected. Just why General Miles made
| this wide departure from the plans OF
| the department Is not known. but 1t IS
| supposed that he gathered some infor-
| nation since he left Siboney that In
! duced him to make the change The re-
suit. however. has been to perplex the
department officials deeply and to con.
/ siderabiy derange their carefully pre-
pared program for the remainder OF the
expedition. 1t Will now be necessary e

already at sea- heading for certain Sc.

ceiyed. Shortly before Monday mid
night a dispatch to the French en-
bassy made it known to the embassy
that the ambassador would be charged
with the important mission Of opening
peace negotiations in behalf of Spain.
The complete instructions, including
an official letter from Duke Almadover
Rio. Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs, was received yesterday.
The proposition submitted by the
ambassador. acting for the Spanish
government, was quite general in
terms, and was confined to the one and
essential point of an earnest plea that
negotiations be opened for the purpose
Of terminating the war and arriving at
terms of peace. The communication of
the Spanish government did not sug-
gest any specific terms of peace. nor
was there any reference made to Cuba,
the Philippines. Porto Rico or other
Spanish possessions. The evident pur-
pose OF the Madrid authorities was to
first learn whether the United States
would treat on the subject OF peace,
and after that to take up such terms
as the two parties might suggest.
Neither was there any suggestion from
the Spanish government that an arm
istice be established pending the peace
negotiations. 1t seemed natural, how
ever, from the proposition that formal
peace negotiations be entered upon.
that pending their conclusion a cessa-
ton OF hostilities would occur.
Naturally the plea of Spain to open
peace negotiations opens up a wide
fleld Of conjecture on what the terms
of peace will be. Thus far there Is nc
official warrant for saying what terms
Spain will propose, or what terms the
United States will offer or accept. Sc
far as this country is concerned It is
the general impression that the com
plete Spanish evacuation OF Cuba and
Porto Rico will be insisted upon as 6
sine quanon. There is not the same
certainty as to the Philippines, La
arones and CarolInes, although the be-
lief is growing that the terms OF the
United States will include coalint
stations In these groups.
On the part of Spain 1t is believed
that she now had reached such a reali
Eation OF her misfortune that she will
readily consent to terms for the evacu
alton OF Cuba, and probably Port'
Rico. The Spanish desire is apparentl,
very strong for the retention OF thu
Philippines. although there is littl
doubt that coaling stations there an,
ut other points would be conceded

SPAIN MAKES NO DIRECT OFFER.

The Only Apparent Desire of the Don Is to

Washington, July 27.-The Spanish
government has sued for peace, not in
directly. through the great powers Of
Europe, but by direct appeal to Presi-
dent Mckinley. The proposition was
formally submitted to the president at
o'clock yesterday afternoon by the
French ambassador, Nj. Jules Cambon.
who had received instructions from
the foreign Office at Paris to deliver to
the United States government the ten
der of peace formulated by the Span
ish ministry. At the conclusion OF the
conference between the president and
the French ambassador the following
official statement was issued from the
White House:
half or the government OF Spain, and
by direction or the spanish Minister
OF Foreign Affairs. presented to the
president this afternoon at the White
House, a message from the Spanish
government looking to the termfna-
tion or the war and a settlement OF
terms OF peace"

made public, but 1t suficed to pu;
at rest all conjectures. and TO make
clear and definite that at last Spain
had taken the initiative toward peace

future consideration. although there
does not appear to be . disposition
among the officials here to pile up a
heavy war indemnity against Spain in
her present helpless condition.
During the late afternoon and even
ing the president conferred with most
OF the members of the cabinet. and the
Spanish proposition was thoroughly
canvassed. Secretaries Day. Alger and
Long were at the White House during
the afternoon, and in the evening the
president was Joined by Secretaries
Bliss and Wilson and Postmaster Gen
eral Smith. There was no cabinet meet
ing in the ordinary sense, but these
talks with individual members served
about the same purpose as a formal
meeting. II was understood the paesi-
dent would be prepared to give an
answer before the next regular cabi-
net day, tomorrow. No intimation came
from any official source as to the prob
able character OF the answer. There
were strong limitations, however, that
there would be no acceptance which
would imply the stopping of the war

barking on a vague diplomatic ne

tie game of diplomacy, in which the
only certain element would be inaction

there was a disposition in official
quarters to know what terms were in
sight before entering upon general ne

said after talking with cabinet officers
