THE TERMS SUIT SPAN|ARDS |
IF THEY CAN HOLD PHILIPPINES
AND PAY NO INDEMNITY.
THEY ARE ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
Disturbances Over New Order Of Things
Are Improbable as the People
Are Listless.

Advices from Madrid state that with
the understanding that no indemnity
will be demanded and that Spanish
sovereignty in the Philippine islands
will be respected, the newspapers OF
the Spanish capital consider tho terms
of peace attributed to President Nc.
Kinley as being acceptable.
Thepapers, however, protest against
the continuance of hostilities by the
United States after Spain hos sued for
peace.
The minister for war, General
Correa, Is arranging for the transpor-
tation of the Spanish troops which
surrendered at Santiago and is pre-
pairing sanitary stations in order to
prevent the introduction Of diseases
into Spain.
At the close of the cabinet council
Thursday the following semi-oflcisl
note was issued:
"lke French ambassador at Wash
ington during the afternoon Of the
Goth, presented in behalf Of the Span
ish government, message to Presi-
dent Mckinley with a. view to bringing
the war to an end and make known
the conditions Of peace. The govern
ment has received information that the
message has been handed to President
Mckinley, who replied that he would
consult with his council OF ministers
and requested M. Cambon to come to
the white house again to confer with
him."
The Spanish officials declare that
the published extracts from the note
are incorrect.
But however unpalatable the terms
Of peace may be, they will not produce
the slightest disturbance in Spain
where listless indifference is predomi-
nant, and there is little probability of
popular discomfort and none at all If
Spain is allowed to retain the Philip
pines and is not compelled to pay in
demnity. The attitude Of the people
makes the chances Of Don Carlos
small. Moreover, the Carlists are
said to disagree about the advisability
Of rising, the Marquis de Cerralbo and
other leaders opposing the step.
Nevertheless, il is feared that Don
Carlos will insist upon it.

CERyERA SENDS REPORT.

of His Ships.

Notifies Madrid Onacialiy Of Destruction
of His Ships.
A Washington special says: Adj
miral Cevera has forwarded to the
Spanish government through the
French embassy his full report Of the
naval engagement which resulted in
the annihilation Of the Spanish fleet.
The report is very long, covering
many pages OF the admiraPs own writ
ing, and is even q more elaborate
treatment of the great engagement
than that of admiral Sampson in his
report to the navy department.
Through the vicissitudes Of war Adj
miral Cervera's report, although ad-
dressed to the Spanish minister of
marine, was submitted first to the
American navy department in order
that the precautions might be taken
usual in communications passing be.
tween prisoners Of war and the enc
my's government. The examination
made by the naval authorities at Wash.
ington was solely for purposes OF pre-
caution and care was taken not to in
trude into the privacy Of the docu-
ment beyond this necessary inspec.
ton. 1t was then sent to Ambassador
Camdon to be forwarded to the Span
ish admiralty.
The strictest secrecy has been OBJ
served while the document has been
In transit, and in order to avoid con.
jectural stories as to the contents OF
the report, it can be stated that no in
timation as to its contents has been
allowed to escape from the few per-
sons through whom it has passed en-
route to the Spanish minister OF ma
fine.
II the Cervera report ever reaches
the public it will be through the Span
ish government, though it is probable
that the report is not of q character
likely to be made public at Madrid.

BISMARCK Is FAILING.

His Condition at Present Gives Employ
ment to His Doctors.
Advices from Hamburg state that
Prince Bismarck's condition still gives
employment to his physicians, but
there Is no ground for anxiety. The
pain from which he has been suffering
continues, but the last two nights have
been comparatively good.
The Berlin correspondent Of The
London Times says: ''In spite OF the
optimistic reports, it seems certain
that Prince Bismarck's condition is
critical. Baron Won Grailsheim, the
Bayarian minister, has arrived at
Friedrichsruhe, but was not por nit

The first couple Of three.pounders
were fired into the hills right and left
Of the bay, purposely avoiding the
town, lest the projectiles hurt women
or children. The Gloucester then hove

without encountering opposition.
FIrst United States Flag Raised.
Quartermaster Beck thereupon told
Yeoman Lacy to haul down the Span

United States flag to foat over Porto
Rican soil was raised on the flagstaff.
Suddenly about thirty Spaniards open
ed fire with Mauser rifles on the
American Party. Lieutenant Huse
and his men resonded with great gal
lantry, the Colt gun doing effective
work. Norman, who received Admiral
Cervera's surrender, and Wood, vol.

could be brought to bear, Smelling the
town and also dropping shells into the
hills to the west Of Guanica, where
number Of Spanish cavalry were to be
seen Fastening toward the spot where
the Americans had landed.
Lieutenant Huse then threw up
little fort which he named Fort VAIN
wright and laid barbed wire in front
Of it in order to repel the expected
cavalry attack. The lieutenant also
mounted the Colt gun and signalled
for achievements, which we're sent
from the Gloucester.
Presently few Of the Spanish cav.
airy joined those who were fighting in
the streets Of Guanica, but the Colt
was turned loose on them, killing
four.
BY that time the Gloucester had the
range of the town and of the block.
house and all her guns were put in
service.
Soon afterwards Spanish cavalrymen
were seen climbing the hills 70 the
westward and the foot soldiers were
scurrying along the fences from the
town.
By 9:45, with the exception Of few
guerrilla shots, the town was won and
the enemy was driven out OF Its neigh
borhood. The Red Gross nurses on
the Lampasas and a detachment Of
regulars were the first to land from
the transports.
After Lieutenant Huse had captured
the place he deployed his small force
into the suburbs. But he was soon
REINFORCED by the regulars, who were
followed by company g, Of the Sixth
Illinois, and then by other troops in
quick succession.
All the boats OF the men -of.war and
the transports were used in the work
of landing the troops, each steam
launch towing four or Ave boats load

thing progressed in an orderly manner
and according to the plans Of General
