SPAIN UNWILLING TO
TAKE A HINT
Suggested Terms of Peace Coming
From America Are Not
Regq ~ded.
THE FEELeRS ARE OF NO AVAIL
Pure 0~bstinacy on the Part Of
Spain May Prolong the
War.
WHAT M'KlNLEY HAS OFFERED
Now Believed That Puerto Rico
Must BE Taken and Camara's
Fleet Smashed TO Bring
Spain TO Time.

Washington, July 1o.-From the
yet in sight. The announcement from
Madrid that a decree has been issued
~suspending throughout Spain the
rights Of individuals as guaranteed by
the constitution, was generally ac-
cepted as an indication that Spain
would speedily seek to terminate the
war. AS a matter of fact, however,
there is not today, as there has not
been at any time since the war was de-
clared, n definite proposition before
the president looking toward peace.
The unsatisfactory part of the stu
alton lies in the fact that for several
days the president and his advisers
have been studiously circulating sug-
gcstions upon which peace might be
made with Spain. These have been eH-
trcmely liberal. IT has been distinctly
stated, and the offer has been cabled
abroad that the United States would
consider the surrender of Spanish SOW
e~reignty i'm Cuba and Puerto Rico and
n coaling station i'm the Philippines.
without the payment Of any money
war indemnity by Spain. In addition
to this, of course, the United States
proposes TO hold the Ladrone islands,
which were seized by the Charleston,
but there is no intention of asking any
concession in the Canary islands.
Notwithstanding the fact that these
very reasonable and entirely proper
proposals have been given publicity,
they have not awakened, so far as the
president or the state department is
aware, the slightest response from the
spanish government. 1t is felt that if
Spain s really ready to sue for peace,
the Madrid authorities would, ere this,
have communicated with this govern
mcnt their desire to ask an armiStice
while the terms of peace might be ar
ranged. The administration has ccr-
tainlv been most liberal in its propos-
lis far more liberal than it will be If
the war is prolonged for weeks and
months.
1t is feared that the Madrid authori-
les have u very thorough appreciation
IF the situation in Cuba and, as they
have little else to lose, will, out OF pure
obstinacy, force the United States to
continue an expensive struggle. The
president fully believes that Puerto
Rico will have TO be invaded and Adj
miral Camara's squadron smashed by
Commodore Watson before Spain will
be willing to suggest peace.

Nnyf INpntnppG-

Washington, July l0.-The war
board was in conference at the white
house with the president and mem
bers of the cabinet this morning and
went over the entire situation, with
particular reference to the next moves.
1t is understood the general view is
that an advance on Puerto Rico and
the dispatch of Watson's squadron to
Spain is now in order. 1t can be stated
positively that there is absolutely no
foundation for the rumors that the
French ambassador has opened peace
negotiations, or that inquiries in re-
.lation to possible terms Of peace otli-
ciallly, unoficially, direct or indirect
have been made. His last visit to the
white house related TO Il matter en-
tirely unconnected with Spanish af'
fairs, and its outcome is expected to
result in improved relations between
France and the United States.
The visit of the secretary of the
German embassy to the state depart
ment today led to rumors that he was
charged with suggesting terms oil
peace. 1t is denied in every quarter
that the visit had any such si@niHcar".
or that it referred to Philippine mat

MILES WILL BE IN COMMAND,
Brooke VIII Make All u Neccs'

ENpeditiOn.

Washington, July 10.--lt is said that
Miles himself will command the Pucr-
to Rican expedition, aided by Brooke.
The later will probably make all ar
engagements necessary at Washington
and Chickamauga, as it is not the
present intention OF Miles to return to
Washington before leaving for Puerto
Rico, though, OF course, there is al
ways a possibility that he may be
summoned here 10y the president for
the purposes of consultation.
1t is expected the campaign in Pucr-
TO Rico will be short and decisive.
Troops ne to be landed at n point
neal San Juan with an ample supply
of field artillery to force its way di-
rectly into the real of the town, while
the fleet will dash into the harbor and
make an attack in front. D~}s"0urnnu,i
as the Spaniards are by the surrender
of Santiago it is not expected they will
offer a protracted resistance. 1t may
be when Brooke's soldiers leave
Chickamauga park their places will be
taken by some OF the troops now ly-
ing at Tampa. The conditions ut the
latter place are not satisfactory from
a sanitary point of view, and the
troops, if not removed to Chickamau-
go probably will be taken TO fernan'
dina and Charleston.

Washington, July 19.-Nlthout as

high members Of the administration
that the president is disposed 10 br

the price of peace and, while securing
all the United States is fairly entitled
to exact from a nation in SPANS dis
trcssed condition, he Is not disposed to

retention Of remote territories
that would be unserviceablc to
the United States. In other
words, unless there is an overwheiin-
ing demand on the part of the Amerl-

course, it is believed the president as
n finally would insist upon Spain aban-
doning all Of her colonial possessions,
While the proposition is tentative, II
is felt that as a minimum demand he
would be content with the acquisition
of Puerto Rico, the admission of the
independence Of Cuba and n coaling

vision for some kind Of Il pr~otcctorate
over the islands, and a moderate in
