Of the quarantine officers at Newport

PORTO RICO
Will Not be Given Up by Spain With

London, July 30.-A special dispatch
from Madrid says; $50 - = '-~
Though it is not likely that the gov
eminent will decide to prolong the war
because of Porto Rico, considerable
feeling is manifested and every posi-
BILE diplomatic effort will be made to
retain 1t.
Apparently there is little objection
to ceding a coaling station in the Phil
ippines, provided Spanish sovereignty
is respected In the island which, in
the opinion of the government and Of
fetal circles generally, will afford COM
pensation in commerce for the loss OF
the Antilles besides procuring occupa-
ton for the West Indian army in re-
establishing Spanish rule.
"The American reply is still anx-
iously awaited. Judging from press
opinions everything beyond the ces-
sion of Cuba will be considered harsh
and unjust. This IS the unanimous
feeling among even the strongest advo-
Gates of peace.
