Senator B. II. Tillman arrived in
the city last night and went to tho
residence Of his kinsmnn, Mr.. j. W.

This morning he came down iown
and spent some time with tho United
States army officers hero and also
those of the regiment. 1t was im-

of his trip was to effect n compro-

Tillman 1t was reported that he
was trying to harmonize tho differ

charges now pending. However, no
confirmation could TO obtained con
cerning this rumor. Senator Till
man would not discuss tho situation,
as it is n rather dolicate question ON
account Of the family relation Of the
accused. No information could ho
obtained from tho officers, as their
positions prccluded them from max

matter.
The charges against Col. Tillman

SENATOR FORAKER,s VIEWS

WASHINGTON, July &c. Senator
foraker, of Ohio. Republican. a
member Of the committee on foraien
reIatons, said tonight that while he
was very glad to see the end of the war
was IN sight, he did not wish to take
any position which would appear to be

tratlon. The treaty of peace whom
concluded. he said. would be subrnitted

tain Porto Rico and the Philippines
ana give to Cuba Independent govern,
nent, and maintain such relations with
the people as will ultimately bring
ABOUT the annexation Of the island to
me united States by the desire Of the
people themselves, as in the case of
hawaii. The independence of the neo-
pie OF Cuba is due to them for the
splendid fight they have made for +brae
years against Spain. They have made
their independence possible"
Senator Foraker said he did not SEQ
how 1t was possible to turn the Philin~
pine islands back to Spain.

terms for the evacuation of Cuba and
probab bly, Porto Rico. The Spanish de-
sire is apparently very strong for the
retention of the Philippines. although
there is little doubt that coaling sta
tons there and at other points will be
conceded. The matter of war indemnity
is for future consideration, although
there does not appear to be a DISPOSE
ton among the officials here to pile up
a heavy war indemnity against Spain In
her present helpless condition.
INFORMAL CABINET MEETING.
During the late afternoon and even
ing the president conferred with most
of the members Of the cabinet. and
the Spanish proposition was thorough
ly canvassed. Secretaries Day, Alger
and Long were at the White house
during the evening. and the president
was Joined by Secretaries Bliss and
Wilson and Postmaster General Smith.
There was no cabinet meeting in the
ordinary sense. but these talks with
cabinet ministers served the same pur-
pose as a formal meeting. 1t Is I'M
derstood the president will be prepar-
ed to give an answer within the next
few days, and certainly before the next
cabinet meeting on Friday. No infor-
nation can be obtained from an official
source as to the character Of the an
swer. There were strong probabilities,
however, that there would be no i'm
mediate stopping of the war when the
American arms were adding victories
on victories, and the embarking on
vague diplomatic negotiation. 1t was
felt this government had everything to
lose in the subtle game Of diplomacy,
in which the only certain event would
be the inaction Of our army and navy.
For this reason there was a DISPOSE
ton or our part to know what was
in sight before entering upon definite
negotiations. A prominent diplomatist,
after talk with cabinet officers, said
that in his opinion matters were not
materially changed by the Spanish
proposition, and that the war would

DISCUSSING PEACE TENURE.
British Opinion as to Indemnity
and Retention of Territory.

LONDON, July 81. The London
morning papers agree that 1t will be
impossible for Spain to pay indemni-
ty, and that it Is improbable that the
United States will demand money COM
pensation. They all concede that the
Spanish flag has gone from Cuba and
Porto Rico forever. The future of the
Philippines is regarded as presenting
grave difficulties, owing to the impos-
sibility of granting independence. The
general opinion Is that the United
States will maintain a cOaling station
in the islands.
The Daily News says: ut 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,
it would set the world an example or
conspicuous magnanimity."
The Daily Chronicle thinks that some
kind of international protectorate over
the Philippines should be arranged.
The Daily Mall says: Eve hope
President Mckinley will be moderate.
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
should be ample compensation, with

SURPRISE AT WASHINGTON.
Landing of Gen. Miles Mt Gunnfca
Was Not at First Credited.

Landing OF Gen. Miles Mt Gunnica
Was Not at First Credited.
WASHINGTON, July 26-The news
Of the landing Of Gen. Miles at Qua
MICA, on the southwest shore Of Porto
Rico. came as a genuine surprise to the
war department. 1t had been all care
fully planned that he was to make his
landing at another point as remote as
possible from the place where he ac-
tually landed, so there was little Won
der that the officials received the first
news OF the landing with incredulity.
and even went to the length Of sup
posing that the story had been put
af1oat in order to distract attention
from the point which had been select
ed. Just why Gen. Miles made this
wide departure from the plans of the
department is not known, but 1t is
supposed he gathered some Informal
ton since he left Siboney that induced
him to make the change. The result.
however, has been to perpleX the de-
partment officials deeply, and to con-
slderaply derange their carefully pre-
pared programme for the remainder Of
the expedition. 1t will now be neces-
sary to intercept the sections Of the ex-
petition already at sea heading for
certain selected points on the coast of
Porto Rico and to advise them of the
change in the plans.
1t is another exhibition Of the reli-
ance placed by the department on the
dispatches Of the Associated Press that
1t proceeded to act at once in the d.
rection indicated and to take steps to
notify the sections afoat, without wait
ing for news from Gen. Miles himself
The only approach to an official COM
munication on the subject came from
st. Thomas, and was hardly more COM
prehensive than the brief statement re-
ceived last night by the newspapers.
merely announcing that the report had
come to st. Thomas that the American
troops were landing, but without nam
ing the place Of debarkation.
Gen. Wilson's brigade is now ap-
preaching the island, being due there
today or tomorrow, and reinforcements
will follow at intervals Of one or two
days, until the whole force Of 10000
men is landed, unless events connected
with the peace negotiations make it
expedient to stop further movements.
However, 1t Is a matter for congratu-
lation to the war department that Gen.
Miles has managed to set foot on Porto
Rico before the first overtures for
peace, and thus to place the island in

would be the complete surrender by
Spain Of all territory over which the
flag floats. This would include Cuba,

this surrender the subject Of a separate

Of Spain a surrender unconditional in
every particular and without any refer

the territory hereafter. I would not
allow any ifs nor 'ands' about 1t. This
treaty should be in such terms that the
United States can be free to act with

the first proposition on which to base
peace. 1 should also demand as one OF

GUANICA AND BAY.
No Better Landing Point Could
Have Been Selected.


- Have Been Selected.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Guanica,
the point Of debarkation of the Porto
Rican expeditionary force. is small
town of 1000 inhabitants on the south
ern coast of the island. On a rough
calculation it is less than ten miles on
an air line from Ponce and sixty-five
miles from San Juan, against which
the assault is to be directed. Guanica
is about six miles south Of Yuacoa, Of
which city it forms the port, and with
which 1t is connected by a good road.
The town is situated on bay OF the
same name, which forms one OF the
best ports in the whole island. The
banks to the right are steep and form
a good natural wharf. Three vessels
can lie alongside and unload by means
of gang planks. Vessels Of thirty feet
draught can enter the bay easily and
proceed close inshore. The consplcu-
Gus advantage of this port, aside from
it's excellent harbor facilities for the
transports, is the utter absence of for
tifications or mines.
