July 30.-The Spaniards are gradu-
ally realizing that Spain has not been
victorious, and that the expected re-
Inducements are not coming. and the
contest is utterly hopeless. Only
fortnight ago Spanish national pride
was rampant, hut il is now merging
into Indignation at Spain's feebleness.
and regret that they were born Span
iards. Yet they will never surren-
der without fight, as the Spanish
officers fear national disgrace too
much 10 give in without a fight.
Fighting in the suburbs is de-
sultory. and the Americans are idle.
This has given rise 10 the report
that they have determined TO suspend
operations until September. and by
that time peace will probably be de-
clared. Then il is asserted that Amer
lea may permanently annex the Caro-
line and Ladrone islands. and possi-
bly, abandon the Philippines, with
the exception of keeping coaling
station here. Although the insurg-
ents reloubled their efforts. they have
been unable to capture Ciadel. On
the other hand. the Spaniards are not
able TO establish suzerainty. Under
the circumstances. il seems somebody
must intervene in the name of human-
ity. The natives are reported siarv-
ing by thousands. The Europeans
are also pressed for food

w patch from Dewey announces
that Aguinaldo has assumed a bold
attitude of defiance and that il would
take large force from this country
to subdue the insurgents.
Dewcy's cable was received while
the cabinet was in session and il
largely influenced the decision As To
the Philippines. Dewey said il would
require 10000 troops to subdue the
insurgents throughout the Philippine
group. The deferment of final DISPOSE
tion of the Philippines is based on the
grounds that the United States is un-
acquainted with the conditions there.
and does not know what obligations
the United States forces incurred
toward the insurgents nor the latier's
attitude, nor the extent 10 which
Aguinaldo controls the group.

A point which was quickly established
was that there should be no reference
OF any phase OF the question Of the dis
position OF the islands to any concert or
individual action by outside powers. An
other point that was settled-thcupb
there was on formal action on ;t-was
that no protest against the cont. nuanca
OF military or naval operations ,endins
the peace negotiations would avail in
the slightest: that there would be no
arinistice, no suspension Of operations
nor any modification whatever of pros
ent plans until the Spanish goyernment

the recognition Of Cuban Independence

absence OF acvices as to the existing
situation there on this date, point that
might be of considerable Importance
In the adjustment OF the question. The
unconfirmed dispatch reporting Manila
had surrendered was read and COM

action without the knowledge OF the ex-
act situation at Manila might cause a

not exist. The reply of this government
TO the Madrid cabinet will in all ukeli

opinion Of the government and official
circles generally, will afford comp, nsa-

The American reply is still anxiousiy

Will be considered harsh and unjust.
This is the unanimous feeling ameng
the strongest advocates Of peace. The
people are beginning to yoalize that
peace will mean almost a total loss Of
colonies, and looking to the delicate and
difficult position of the queen regent
great care is still necessary to induce

HISTORY OF THE PEACE OFFER
c.Ner of the Events Leading Up to tho
Present Negotiations.

Washington, July 30-In diplomatic
quarters 1t is stated that the peace
propositions took form in Madrid on
Friday, July %. and that rot until then
had the Spanish cabinet itself deter
mined to risk a direct proposition for
peace. On that day Duke Almadoyar
de Rio. Spanish minister of fore gn af-
fairs. drafted the Spanish proposal to
this government and it was formally
agreed that it should be presented d.
rect to President Mckinley, the Frerch
ambassador at Washington acting as a
medium of communication. The pro-
posal was ca aAied to Ambassador Cam
don in cipher, bit before acting ne ad-
vised with his government as to its
wishes In the mear time, the state de-
partment received n, intimation from
the ambassador that .spain was about
TO present this peace proposition.

doubt that an agreement has been
reached upon all the substantial points
at issue, and that what remains to be
uohe today is rather to smooth away
Inequalities and adjust some very minor
points of difference before making the
answer.
Philippines Got Most of the Talk.
Ths point under discussion during the
greater Fart of the meeting was what
disposition Should be made Of the Philip
pines. on the other issues unanimity
developed. There was to be indepan-
dence demanded for Cuba; Porto Rico
was to be ceded to the United States:
coaling stations We're to be acquired at
Guam, in the Ladrone islands, and one
In the Caroline islands. These proposi-
uons were disposed Of quickly, but when
II came to the Philippines some d.versi-
W OF opinion was revealed. As near
as can be gathered this did not relate
mainly to the retention of the islands:
on that proposition majority Of the
cabinet was speedily recorded in the
negative. But accepting the broad
proposition that Spain was to be al
lowed to keep these possessions other
futStiOiiS Ol importance GeVelODoG and
1t was felt that these must be answered
definitely before the subject could be
disposed Of
Perpiexing Questions That Arose.
There was no question as to the
propriety of demanding the Goa ing sta
tion in the Philippines, and while there
reasonably might be a difference Of
opinion of the location and extent of
this station little difficulty was ex-
pected to be encountered in solving that
problem, because the matter could be
referred to the naval board The per-
picking problem was what form Of gov
ernment should be Instituted in the
Philippines. and what should be the
nature OF the guarantee require, OF
Spain that the new govsrn4aent should
ba liberal and autonomous In character.
These two questions hinged on the
primary decision to interfere at all in
prescribing a change in the conditions
in the Philippines.

ed States is disposed to make peace
but requests neither truces nor ar
mistices."
Peace Terms Are Discounted.
Except upon the unsettled point of
the Philippines, the main lines of the
peace terms were already discount eed
here. The editorials in the morning pa
Pers today generally regard them as
evidences of 4 desire on the part of the
United States to treat Spain generously
and to limit, so far as possible, the ex-
tension of Americas administrative re-
sponsibiities beyond seas. The papers
agree that there is no limited liability
in warfare. Spain is naturally sore. but
they point out that she must put UP

Is well advised she will close with the
