SAGASTA WILL PROTEST.
The Supplicant For Peace Wants t.
Dictate the Terms.

Dictate the Terms.
London, July 2S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Daily Mail says: Spain
will probably protest against an at
tack upon Porto Rico after the Wash
ington cabinet has officially received
Spanish overtures for peace. Should a
circular note on this subject be sent to
the powers 1t will contain the exact
dates of the Spanish communications,
making it clear that the United States
deferred it's answer in order to be able
to date the reply after the American
forces had gained a footing in Porto
Rico.
Senior Sagasta said yesterday: 1--WE
resolved on peace many days ago, and
made known our resolution to the
United States government. 1 regard
as null and void and as destitute OF
good faith everything the Americans
have done since, and l am ready to
protest against 1t formally"
1t is rumored that the request of
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, was for an armistice
lasting until Sunday. 1t cannot be as
certained whether his action was spon-
taneous, in order, If possible, to fore
stall the invasion of Porto Rico and
the fall of Manila, or whether 1t was
due to advice from the Vatican and the
powers.
The news that the government is
suing for peace has caused neither sur
prise nor sensation here. The attitude
of majority of the newspapers shows
that the country will welcome peace
If it can avoid the payment of an in
demnity and the loss of the Philip
pines, where it is now taken for grant
ed, the United States will retain a
coaling station only. A few Carlist,
Republican and Independent papers
pretend that Americas demands will
not be accountable.

ILLINOIS VOLUNTEERS REVOLT.
They Were Fin Route For Porto Rico
and Were (alIed Back.

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 28.-The
Third Kentucky, the Fifth Illinois and
the Third battalion of the Sixteenth
Pennsylvania left Chickamauga Park
yesterday under orders to proceed to
Porto Rico, but a rush order came from
Secretary Alger for the Illinois regi-
ment to return to camp, and ordering
out in its stead the One Hundred and
Sixtieth Indiana. This is the second
time that the Fifth Illinois, commanded
by Colonel Culver, has been ordered
back after being under orders to go
with the brigade to the front.
A sorrier and more Disguised lot Of
soldiers was never seen than the men
of the Fifth Illinois regiment when the
order was received to unload and re-
turn to Chickamauga Park All kinds
of unsaVory charges are being openly
made against Colonel Culver, not only
by privates, but by subordinate officers.
They claim that their regiment has
been betrayed by Colonel Culver who
represented 10 President Mckinley that
the regiment is not fit for field duty
and on these representations the presi-
dent relieved the command from go
ing to Porto Rico. The subordinate
officers claim that the command is in
very excellent condition and in SPLEEN
did fighting trim.
AS soon as the full situation dawned
on the men the greatest disorder pre-
vailed, and there was no semblance of
discipline. They left the ranks by
dozens and scores and last night near
ly hundred members of the regiment
left camp, most Of them without leave
and came to the city. The morale Of
the regiment is shattered. and many Of
the men declare they will not longer
serEe under Culver. Efforts to restrain
the men were unavailing One man
broke his gun over a tree and left the
camp without leave.

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 cessa-
ton of hostilities would occur.
Naturally the plea of Spain to open
peace negotiations opens up a wide
field of conjecture on what the terms
of peace will be. Thus far there is no
official warrant for saying what terms
Spain will propose, or what terms the
United States will offer or accept. So
far as this country is concerned 1t is
the general impression that the COM
plete Spanish evacuation of Cuba and
Porto Rico will be insisted upon as a
sine quanon. There is not the same
certainty as to the Philippines, La
drones and Carolines, although the be-
lief is growing that the terms of the
United States will include coaling
stations in these groups.
On the part of Spain it is believed
that she now had reached such reali-
zation of her misfortune that she will
readily consent to terms for the evacu-
alton of Cuba, and probably Porto
Rico. The Spanish desire is apparently
very strong for the retention of the
Philippines, although there is little
doubt that coaling stations there and
at other points would be conceded.
The matter of war indemnity is for
future consideration, although there
does not appear to be disposition
among the officials here to pile up
heavy war indemnity against Spain in
her present helpless condition.

outset before the actual point Of stat
ing terms Is reached. There viii be
much discussion in all likelihood also
regarding an armistice. for II is the dis
tinct purpose Of the Spanish authorities
to secure a suspension OF hostllties
pending the negotiations for peace. 1t
may be that the application will be
granted. but il so II win be only under
the most effective safeguards to pre-
vent loss Of any advantage to the
United States, and upon binding
pledges that certain well defined OBJ
iects are to be conceded to us.
1t is virtually admitted by leading
members of the administration that
upon only one point in peace negotia-
tions is there likely to be serious fric-
ton, and that relates to the future OF
the Philippines. AS to Cuba and Porto
Rico, our government feels that there
is a reasonable certainty of encounter
ing little opposition to our demands.
The Spanish government might in
sist upon the proposition thrown out
by the vatican, namely, that the United
States shall annex Cuba. the ostensible
purpose being to secure full protection
for the Spanish element left in the
island, but while this would be a vexa-
tious point 1t would yield to adjust
ment.
AS to the Philippines there is a full
expectation Of greater difficulties to be
surmounted There is reason to believe
that these difficulties. like the Cuban
settlement, will be rather internal than
International in their character, at
least from the outside. The president
is firmly of the opinion that the United
States has no use for the islands as a

THE PEACE PROBLEM.
President Mckinley Thinks We Have
No Use For the PHILIPPINES.

President Nj kinney Thinks we Have
No Use For the Philippines.
Washington. July 2S.-The initiation
of overtures for peace has had the eff
feet of suspending in a large measure
for the time beaing at least, interest in
the military and naval situation.
Though it is known through the open
admission of members of the admins
tration that the present peace phase
would remain unchanged until after to-
days cabinet meeting, there was still
evinced a disposition to discuss this
matter in its every aspect Naturally
the first point of inquiry was the exact
shape taken by the Spanish presenta-
ton. Curiosity on this point remained
lngratihed, and must probably so con-
tinue for some days to come, the presi-
dent having decided that nothing more
definite than the statement issued from
the White House on Tuesday shall be
given to the public at this time. The
motive is a prudential one and the
president has even gone so far as to
suggest to the Madrid authorities the
expediency Of keeping the text of the
Spanish overture from publication at
this time.
The next point of interest was the
character and extent of the demand
likely to be made by the United States
as the condition Of peace 1t is felt THAI
the terms Of peace, both from Spain
and the United States. may be some
days off, as there doubtless will be con-
siderable diplomatic fencing at the

4 PLEA FOR PEACE
Spain Makes Direct Appeal to
President Mckinley.
PRESENTED BY NJ. CAMBoN.
The French Ambassador Acts for
the Spanish Government.
SPAIN MAKES NO DIRECT OFFER.

The Only Apparent Desire of the Don Is to
Bring About Cessation of Hostilities,
and 1t Seems Likely That Our Govern
ment Will Refuse to Stop Our Succession
of Victories Unless the Enemy 0ffers
Material Concessions.
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
3 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.
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

making small use Of bank checks. these men
conclude that the field for the use Of coin is un-
limited. whereas the fact IL the contrary. So,
too. in Great Britain, where. 40 we have said,
little or no paper money ciroulates OF q less
denomination than S25. It is easy TO fall
into tho delusion that tho supply Of coin is
Inadequate TO the demand for It, and that its
quantity might be largely increased without
lossening Its purchasing power. The fallaolous-
ness OF this assumption In the United States is
apparent from tho fact that tho Treasury holds
s400. 1000, 900 in silver which nobody will take
out Of its vaults, and that tho banks of Great
Britain and OF the Continent hold immense sums
OF both gold and silver coin for which there 10
no demand by the public. Opening the mints to
silver. therefore. would merely change tho form of
tho metal from bullion to coin without losscning
tho quantity Of IL in existence. and without Gre
ating demand for II which would In the least
diminish tho supply Of it available for CONNER
oial purposes. MATTHEW MARSHALL.
