There Is considerable difference OF OPP

TO embrace an spanish possessions IN

one unusual provision Is embraced In
reference TO the return Of the surrendered
arms. the article providing for their re-
turn when the Spanish evaeuate, "or the

This. however, Is formal expression,
and Secretary Algcr tonight showed that
there need be no alarm on that score. by
his statement that "thore is no thought
OF the Americans evaeuating"
All unsettled points in the terms OF
surrender will have to be finally determ-
incd by the president though there is no
doubt that no will approve whatever
agreement General Merritt makes The
Spanish troops will not be returned TO
Spain by this government.
