PRINCE HENRY's STORY.

Berlin, July s7.-A despatch from
Shanghai today says an official state
ment from Prince Henry of Prussia in
regard to the Irene incident in Subig
bay, has been published in the Ost
Asiatische Lloyd. 1t says the Irene went
to Subig bay to take off some Spanish
women and children who were suffering.
At Isla Grande the German warship hap
pened to meet a steamer belonging to the
insurgents, which left without any
difficulty arising. On returning the Irene
met outside Manila bay two United
States cruisers, which did not speak her.
In conclusion, the statement sets forth
that the removal of the women and chill
dren was effected from motives of hui
manity and with strict observance OF
the rules of neutrality.

THEIR HOPES.
Why the Government Enjoys
the Peace Proposals.

Washington, July 27.-By tomorrow our
government will have determined and
communicated to the French ambassador
just what form the step leading toward
peace shall take. It is likely that if the
Spanish government is really in earnest
in its desire for peace, that our govern
ment will consent to an armist ice as
preliminary. But it can be stated posi-
lively that the President is determined to
lose no ground through Spanish diplo-
macy The armistice, If granted, will be
followed by treaty of peace. Moreover,
the preliminary agreement that provides
for an armistice must con stitute in itself
an undertaking on the part of Spain to
submit to certain broad conditions i'm
posed by the United States as the basis of
peace.
Military operations are to go steadily
forward so far as the United States Is
con ,erned, until the negotiations have
advanced much further than they are at
present. They are subject to interruption
at any moment by an arnistice, but it
must be said that this is scarcely ex-
pCCUCu lAhhiCAAouo1ys Ao ~ ASs~-NS>~ o--'>o
when the Spanish government learns the
extsrt of the demands to be made by the
United States, the first effect will be to
induce reflex movement, which in turn
will result in the continuation of active
hostilities for time. This time, it is ex-
pacted, however, will be brief, only por-
haps SO long as is necessary for General
Miles to completely invest San Juan de
Porto Rico. That stroke. 1t is thought,
will bring the Spanish government to a
realizing sense of the hopelessness OF
further resistance, if it has not before
that time yielded to the earnest represen-
tations of those European Powers that
have been so persistent in their efforts TO
secure peace. Military experts allow Two
weeks as the maximum period OF time
/ necessary for General Miles to secure this
commanding position, and therefore, IL Is
hoped that within that space OF time tne
Spanish government will have been
brought, not exactly to the approval OF
treaty of peace, but to an application 1or
an armistice that in its cond1tlons Will
amount TO a concession of those things
most desired by the United States govern
ment.
AS TO the terms to be imposed by the
Tinted States. it seems probable that our
state department is again about to give
the diplomats of the old world lesson In
straiehtforward dealings, abandoning
H., devious paths of old time diplomacy
and striking straightforward, and with
out double dealing and hair-splitting to-
ward the object in view. In such negoti-
atiops, conducted on the broad and high
ulane which has cnaract erized the atti
tude of the United States esovernmeE
from the very bo4inning Of the controyer
sy with Spain, wnica led up 10 the war

openly and directly conducted. 1t cannot
lie tolerated for an instant, it is an
nounced, that through the indulgence of
the United States, by granting an arnis-
tlce or otherwise in the early stages of the
peace negotiations, the Spanish govern
ment shall covertly secure breathing
spell to recuperate and rally for further
resistance to the American arms.
Generally stated, two propositions seem
included in all lists of demands: First,
tbs absolute Independence of Cuba with
the provision that the island shall be abb
solved from responsibility for any debt
heretofore charged against it by Spain.
The last clause, it is expected will cause
some friction, inasmuch as it is certain
to arouse to desperate resistance certain
European holders of bonds issued by
Spain based on the revenue Of Cuba. The
second proposition is the absolute oession
of Porto Rico to the United States. like
wise unincum bered by liability for any
bonded Indebtedness. 1t is believed that
Spain has practically made up her mind
| to this condition before tnstituting the
oyertures for peace. Another point upon
| which the United States, it is believed,
| will insist, is the cession of certain coal
| ing stations in the Ladrones and Caro-
| lines, probably Guam island on the form
| er and Yap island in the latter, and per-
| haps one other in a different quarter in
| the world not yet designated These tsrri-
torial concessions, it is expected, will be
regarded as sufficient ty our government
as compensa ton for tle expenditures
made by this country, without specific
demand for money indemnity. The last
consideration is tho one which promises
| to give more trouble than any ether,
namely, the settlement Of the future of
the Philippines. There is reason to be-
lieye that the President himself has not
determined how this subject shall be
treated. A coaling station is wanted
there, but beyond that it moy be that we
will not care to go.
The revolution in the Philippines be-
gan some time prior to the outbreak OF
war between the United States and
Spain. Since the war the insurgents have
assumed very imperious attitude and
have conducted their military operatitnf
without particular reference to the wished
of the American commander, Admiral
Dewey; have been generally intractablt

How the News of Negotiation Is Taken.
Madrid, July 81. -(Noon)-The big rise
of prices on the Bourse today is looked
upon as denoting great confidence that
peace between Spain and the United
States will be concluded Immediately.
The news that the government is sueing
for peace has caused neither surprise nor
sensation here. The attitude Of ma
jority of the newspapers shows that the
country will welcome peace if it can avoid
the payment Of an indemnity and the
loss of the Philippines, where, it is now
taken for granted the United States
will retain coaling station only. A few
Carlist, Republican and Independent
papers pretend that Americas demands

ment, its establishing act being the
organic law Of the territory, but it
has the power to declare invalid the
enactments of the territorial legis-
lature erected by itself.
What is the actual constitutional
aud legal situation' There ia, in
the first place, no doubt as to the
power OF Congress to acquire terri
tory. The power to declare war
and the power to make treaties i'm
ply the power to acquire territory.
There is no one who questions its
existence. 1t has been declared
over and over again by the Supreme
Court. Neither ia there any doubt
as to the power of Congress to
govern territory so acquired. This
is expressly granted to Congress in
the provision OF the Constitution
which authorizes the legislative
branch of the government to make
nesdful rules and regulations re-
specting territories. AS Justice
Bradley said, in "The Late Corpora
ton of the Church Of Jesus Christ
of Latter-Day Saints VS.. United
States" at would be absurd to
hold that the United States has
power to acquire territory and no
power to govern it when acquired"
Nothing, then, can prevent the an.
nexation OF territory that may be
acquired in war with Spain or
through treaty of peace; whether
a resolution OF annexation would
hold is another question, which,
however, is not likely to be raised.
And territory once acquired, it will
be governed absolutely by Congress,

ciary having nothing to say in the
matter after the organic law estab-
fishing the territorial government,
if such law be passed, is once in
operation. IF, however, Congress
assumes full control as local gov
eminent, it will be free to do as it
will-to pass one law for one terri
tory and another for another, or to
neglect all impartially, while as to
the executive and judicial authori-
ties of these territories, they will be
such mon as the politicians OF Con-
gress prefer. Now the serious ques-
ton is, do we want all thiss And
the question is so serious that Con-
gfess ought not to take the FIRST step
towards it, which it will do by the
passage of the Hawaiian annexation
resolution, until the issue has been
submitted to the country aud fully
discussed in a general campaign.
The passage of this resolution at
this session would be snap
