A Hard Nut to Crack
LONDON, Aug. 8.-The Times says adj
torially this morning: 1t is a hard nut the
negotiators have to crack regarding Cuba.
The Americans cannot garrison the island,
and 1t would be rather absurd to be COM
PEELED to ask the Spanish troops to remain
and to keep order there. There is such
a thing as victory so complete and easy as
ITO be more embarrassing than a struggle
upon something like equal terms.
Had the Spanish army in Cuba been
beaten in the field, the situation would have
been much less complicated, as the admin
istration Of the island would simply be
taken over by the victorious army. The
American war office is the subject of se-
we're criticism from men of all parties, and
Secretary Alger, as our New York corre-
spondent casually observed, Is regarded
seriously as a candidate for retirement
into private life. There undoubtedly has
been most serious mismanagement In con-
nection with the Santiago forces, and had
not public opinion intervened upon the
manifesto Of the generals, 1t Is not I'M
probable that the war office would have
gone on covering up Its own mistakes until
the Santiago force had succumbed entirely
to disease and privation.
Now the American troops are being de-
ported from the island as rapidly as pos
sible, but with them goes every trace of
American power to deal with a public
question of which Spain is to be deprived.
No native government is possible, no
American government is ready or likely to
be ready for long time to come. In the
meantime the Spanish army Is starving
with the civil population.
Events seem to have occurred so quickly
~ to leave the American war Office abso-
lutely unprepared to deal with problems
much greater than the provisioning Of the
deid force at Santiago.

THE PRESS and PEACE
COMMENTS OF THE NEWSPAPERS
OF EUROPE
Spanish Papers Suggest Settlement
on New Lines-The Cuban Cues
ton a Hard Nut to Crack
LONDON, Aug. S.--A special dispatch
from Madrid says:

LONDON, Aug. S--A special dispatch
from Madrid says:
Apparently, the public Is little concerned
about the progress of the peace DeEotia-
tions. There will be bull fights as usual
toady Sunday, and the customary amuse-
ments proceeded with the utmost gayety.
Ell impartial proposes a new solution of
the settlement of the Cuban debt. 1t takes
for granted that the United States cannot
be asked to assume the burden of about
s160 ,00O, 900 which existed when the rebellion
began in 1895 and the $3.50 900, 900 spent since,
and it suggests that Spain sould undertake
to pay interest and redemption on the Gu
ban debt until the new West Indian republic
is in a position to do SO, which Ell Impair
cial affects to believe Cuba soon can do
when Its vast natural resources are devel-
oped under an American protectorate.
The same paper goes on to say that Span
ish finances will be very seriously compro-
missed, and the interests Of Spanish and for
eign holders of Cuban stock also, II the
United States does nothing for the Cuban
debt. The Madrid press insists that this
matter will yet be mooted in the negotia-
tions between Spain and the United States.
The papers comment on Senior Sagasta's
astuteness in consulting with the political
leaders This act has greatly strengthened
his position. because nearly all approved
his peace policy, and none had any feasible
plan to propose for prolonging the war or
getting better peace terms
The comments on the conditions OF peace
are very reserved. II the United States
insists upon an immediate evacuation Of the
Antilles, the cortes will be conyoked forth
with. The queen regent will sign decree
increasing the note circulation Of the Bank
OF Spain. The work of strengthening the
Notifications in the vicinity Of Gibraltar
goes on increasingly.
Agrees Because Forced
LONDON, Aug. S.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Daily Mail, telegraphing
Sunday, says:
The answer Of the Spanish government
declares that Spain cannot discuss the
American proposals, but only accepts them
because they are imposed on her by force.

BouRGoaNE'E VICTIMS
The Sea Gives Up Its Dead-A Number
of Bodies Found


Of Bodies Found
HALIFAX, N. s., Aug. THE steamer
Hiawatha, which left Halifax July 20 to
search for bodies of La Bourgogne victims
returned tonight.
Mr.. Perry, one OF the members Of the ex-
pedition, said the steamer went to the
place where the captain Of the steamer
Oldfield reported he saw 200 of them float
ing. No bodies were found in this locality,
but few miles further away the first
body was found. During that day (Sun-
day. and succeeding rays until August 3,
the members Of the expedition worked con-
tinuously, the weather being favorable and
the sea calm. During that time thirty-one
bodies were found. Those found on the
first day were in a fair state of preserva-
tion. Those found later were advanced III
decomposition. Nearly all the bodies were
Of steerage passengers or sailors. This
could be told from the clothing. Most of
the bodies were men, a few were women
and some were boys. Some were taken
on board for particular examination. None
were those Of the Perry or Dillon families.
All Of the bodies were buried at sea in the
usual manner and all the effects, such as
there were. were brought ashore. There was
hardly anything about the female bodies
to aid Identification. Only one or two were
those of first class passengers. On Wednes-
day the Hiawatha went to Canso, on ac-
count Of heavy weather. They were ad-
vised there Of the reports of other steam
ers. particularly Of the Aldersgate, of pass
ing bodies.
The Hiawatha returned to the latitude
and longitude given, but was unable to
accomplish much and finding no more
bodies abandoned the trip and returned.
The flrst body found was that of Eugene
Dobosc Of Montreal. This name was on
visiting cards and there were bills Of ex-
change payable to his order. The bodies
were found within a radius Of 100 miles Of
where the bodies were first seen.
