LANDS TO BE TAKEN IN
 LIEU OF INDEMNITY

LONDON, July 27.-The London morning papers agree that it will be impossible for Spain to pay indemnity, and that it is impossible that the United States will demand money com pensation. They all concede that the Spanish flag has gone forever from Cuba and Porto Rico.
 The question of the future of the Philippine Islands is universally admit ted as presenting grave difficulties, ow- ing to the impossibility of granting in- dependence. The general opinion is that the United States will retain a coaling station and have a reversion in the islands.
 The Daily News says: Tt would be an act of extreme generosity to leave Spain In possession of the Philippines, but generosity Is often the best policy. If the United States should be content with such a reward of it's labors as would leave the Philippines to Spain, 1t would set the world an example of con- spicuous magnanimity'
 The Daily Chronicle thinks that some kind of international protectorate over the Philippines should be arranged.
 The Daily Mail says: We hope President Mckinley will be moderate Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines should be ample compensation without indemnity.'

 Discussing the probable terms of peace, the Times says: "The United States will probably take Porto Rico in lieu of a money indemnity, and it would be best for the world at large if America boldly undertook the burden of giving Cuba and the Philippines a strong, honest government through American officials. If Spain is permit ted to reassume sovereignty over the Philippines she will have to engage in war o4 conquest. which might be at tended with serious consequences to American and other international in- terests in the Pacific

theater of operations Of war and the cause of the essage-maps of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
 When M. Thiebaut had finished read ing he handed the message to the En- bassador. who gave it to the President. The President then invited M. Thie- baut to be seated on the sofa next to his chief He expressed qualification at the receipt of the message, saying he was very glad to receive it from the hands of the French Ambassador, that in view of it's gravity he would like before making reply, to discuss it with his Cabinet, and he begged the Embas- sador to kindly call for an answer which he would be glad to make to the Queen Regent of Spain through him. and that the Ambassador would be ad- vised by the Secretary of State when to return.
 This closed the official ceremony. A general conversation then began be- tween the President and Ambassador with Secretary Day occasionally ask ing question, the questions and an- swers being translated into French by M. Thiebaut. Ambassador Cambon was unable to tell the President what concessions Spain would make to ob- tain peace, and MT. Mckinley did not indicate what terms his Government would be willing to give. Then there were great many sentences in the message which the President desired to more perfectly understand and he asked M. Cambon to explain them at length. The time passed quickly in such conversation, and when the French diplomat arose to leave it was found that their call had lasted three quarters of an hour.
 Before departing the President sug- gested that it would be wise to prepare statement for the press, and M. Thie- baut volunteered to take it down Se,:- retary Day dictated to him upon a piece of paper torn from an envelope in which the message had been inclosed the statement which begins this report of the proceedings.
 Spain having inserted the entering wedge in the direction of peace, the great question now Is whether an agreement can be reached as to the terms. Upon President Mckinley de- wolves the duty of making the first definite proposition. He has a very good general idea of the minimum de- mands which he will make. but it will be several days before he will commu- nicate with Ambassador Cambon. Meantime he may be influenced by what he can learn about public senti- ment throughout the country, and es- pecially among the Senators who will have to ratify any treaty of peace that may be agreed upon with the Spanish representatives.
 Although no formal statement will now be made as to what the Presi- dent will demand, it may be safely stated as result of the conversations I have had during the last few days with members of the Cabinet that these, briefly, are the minimum terms to be acceptable to the administration:
 Complete independence of Cuba un- der the protection of the United States: absolute cession to the United States of Porto Rico and the Ladrones: a coaling station in the Philippines.
 The extreme concessions that Spain Is supposed to be willing to make are: Cession to the United States of Porto Rico; cession to the United States of Cuba rather than recognition of the independence of the island. It will be
The San Francisco call., 1898-07-27

seen that there Is comparatively little difference between the demands of the United States and the extreme con- sessions of Spain as to Cuba and Porto Rico. If these islands alone were to be considered there is reason to believe the basis of peace could be soon agreed upon. Questions that will arise ss to the disposition of the Philippines and the Ladrones will probably give the negotiators serious trouble. Spain will probably first yield to the demand for the cession of the Ladrones and will hold out to the last to preserve Intact her Philippine colony. which will be her only possession of importance outside of the peninsula after Cuba and Porto Rico have been given up. Neither gov- ernmcnt, however, will allow the ques- ton of the Ladrones to delay peace.
 The United States will demand as absolutely ess, tial to peace the ces- sion of coaliug station and a port in the Philippines, and whether anything more will be demanded in these islands will depend on the progress of events. and perhaps In no small degree upon the expressions of public opinion in the United States, between the present and the time when actual negotiations as to the details of the peace treaty are taken up.
 As to Cuba, Spain Is believed to be ready to give more than the United States asks. The President will de- mand that Spain give up the island in trust to the United States, to be turn ed over to an independent Cuban gov ernment as soon as such government can be established on a stable basis. Spain, it is believed, would prefer to turn Cuba over to the United States absolutely and have the island annexed to this country.
 The reason for this, as explained to me by person in a position to know. Is that the Spanish Government feels that Spanish life and property will be safer in the island under the Govern ment of the United States than under any government the Cubans might set up. It is feared that if the Cubans should be allowed an independent gov ernment they would find means per- haps under the form of law to oppress those residents of the island who have remained loyal to Spain throughout the war and have refused to aid the insur- gents in any way.
 The message from the Queen Regent did not ask for a cessation of hostili- ties pending negotiations for peace. and had such request been made. 1t would not have been granted. The ad- ministration will go on with the vigor ous prosecution of the war in every di- rection just the same if no peace prop- ositions had been received, and hostiu- ties will not cease until some definite understanding has been reached as to the basis on which negotiations for the final treaty are to be conducted.
 If, after receiving the propositions of MT. Mckinley, Spain indicates a will ingness to make the basis of a final treaty, and asks for an armistice, her request will be complied with. It Is recognized here that the course of the Spanish Government will probably de- pend in a great measure upon the tenn per with which the people of Spain re- ceive the propositions of the United States. If 1t should appear that the Spanish people are so tired of the war that they are willing to pay almost any

suffering as a result of the war. It was taken to the White House by M. Cam bon, who was accompanied by M. Thie- baut, first secretary of the embassy. i The President and Secretary Day had ] previously been notified of their call
 and MT. Day had been closeted with ! the President half an hour before the l arrival of the diplomats. The French | representatives were escorted to the blue room, and later at the invitation 1 of the President, they ascended to the second floor, where they entered the ! private room of the President. MT. Mo Kinley who entered by a side door
 walked over and greeted the Embassa- i dor, and then his secretary closed the door by which they had entered and courteously invited his callers to be seated. Before complying the Embas- Sador announced in French. which was translated by M. Thiebaut, that with the consent of his Government he called to deliver from the Queen Regent of Spain message having as it's object the termination of the war between the United States and Spain, which his sec retary would read.
 M. Cambon then took his seat, the President sank into an armchair just before him and Secretary Day occupied chair to the right of the President
 NJ. Thiebaut remained standing and read the message. As told to me to- night by an official familiar with its contents, it is briefly:
 The Government of the United States and the Government of Spain are unhappily at war as result of the demand of the United States that Spain would withdraw from Cuba, which de- mand she refused to comply with. In the contest of arms which followed Spain admits that she has been worsted and that her sufferings as a result are very great. She believes that the time has now come when she can properly ask the cooperation of the United States in terminating the war, and, therefore, asks to be furnished, through the French Embasador, with a state ment of the terms upon which the United States would be willing to make peace"
 That the President appreciated the gravity of the message, am told. was evidenced by the close attention he gave to NJ. Thiebaut as he was reading the uOCUIH6UI Ine llBHt COHllHS ITOIH the south through three broad windows in the circular wall fell upon the Presi- dent, seated in a great armchair listen ing intently to the words which slowly dropped from M. Thiebaut's lips. Di- rectly in front of a large white sofa sat the Ambassador, dressed in diplomatic garb, his monocle in his right eye. To the right of the President and at one end of the sofa; silent, impassive, his legs crossed, was Secretary Day, weighing each word each sentence, and preparing to raise questions which he would put to the Embasador for reply when the reading was concluded. To the left of the President stood the Sec retary of the Embassy, several pages of the message closely held in his left hand, reading the words slowly, as if he desired the President and Secretary of State to consider each word as he dropped 1t. Just back of the President, unrolled on circular table, was the
