WHAT WAS THE MODIFICATION
That Was Secured by Cambon? 4? the Oues
ton of the Hour at Washington

There is much speculation as to the
nature Of the amendment in the answer
Of the United States that the ambassa-
dor succeeded in inducing President Nc
Kinley TO make after the document had
been so carefully constructed by his
cabinet. All that can be knowingly
stated is that il relates to that part of
the answer which deals with the future
Of the Philippines. II is known that the
Spanish efforts were concentrated upon
the retention of the islands. and the
Madrid cabinet was willing to make al
most any sacrifice i'm it's power to secure
that end. Whether or not the ambas-
sador prevailed in this is not known.
but there is reason TO believe that the
success he attained was limited, and
that the United States proposes TO re-
tain some foothold little more impor-
tant than a simple coalng station in
the islands.
Had our demand been limited TO a
coaling station there would have been
no doubt Of its acceptance: and IL is
even probable that the concession might
have been made OF a considerable tract
OF land for a naval station and a sup
porting zone. But ii is believed that
there was strenuous objection TO the
cession Of the city OF Manila, the me-
tropolis OF the group, and particularly
20 the reference TO commission of the
question of the future government of
the islands; for the Spanish government
is desirous that its full sovereignty
shall remain unaffected and without
question. II is assumed that il was this
point which was the subject of amend
ment at the hands of the president.
though what form that change took is
still unknown.
AS some mention has been made in
the public discussions Of the possibility
Of the acquisition by the United States
of one Of the Caroline islands it may be
stated authoritatively that the matter
has not been considered by the cabinet
