In reported that these advisers believe
the commodore should not risk the loss
Of one or two valuable vessels in his ef-
forts to get at the armada. but await
alton OF land forces.
If reports made by navigators con-
cerning the foul condition of the ships
in Cervera's feet, his half-clad and
half-paid sailors and his scant coal sup
ply are true. his position, to the minds
o. the naval stategists, must be des-
r ate. There is a strong disposition to
credit these stories here, because he has
had no opportunity TO have the vessels
docked or repaired since they started
or their long voyage The longer the

on the bottoms of ships very rapidly.
Cervera would probably not be caught
without steam on. and to carry this con
stantly requires vast amount OF coal

consumption of fuel alone IS a question
of serious character, especially as there
is not believed to be coal enough

Washington, June by feinting the
withdrawal Of his squadron off the en-

schley led the Spanish admiral into an
attempt to escape from the trap In
which he has been held, thus enabling
the fact of his presence to be absolute
Iv escertained. After finding that he
was discovered Cervera returned to the
protection Of the inner harbor. 1t is
the general impression in Washington
that Commodore Schley will Immediate
Iy begin an attack on the harbor de-
fenses Of Santiago.
After destroying these defenses ne
will force his way into the inner har-
bor and give battle to the Spanards.
The fight Is expected to be short and
furious and the utter annihilation OF

on This Side.

Spain Must surrender All ner II ossessaohS
on This Side.
Washington, June Ito a Few or MS
congressional party friends the presi-
dent has disclosed the fact that he has
partly made up his mind as to the terms
which Spain must accede to before she
can negotiate for peace. He has de-
termined that, first OF all. she must con-
sent TO abandon all her possessions in
the western hemisphere: Cuba must be
turned over to the men who have been
fighting for their freedom for overt three
years; Porto Rico must be turned over
10 the United States to idemnify this
country in part for the cost or the war
and for the loss of the Maine and her
sailors. The island is to be used by the
United States for an outlying naval
base in southern waters for the Atlantic
end Of the Nicaragua canal.
AS to the future Of the Philippines
the president is still in doubt He VIII
probably ask congress to aid IN reach-
ing a conclusion as TO what is TO be
done with the islands. The president Is
hopeful that when Santiago is taken,
the Cervera squadron disposed OF. Porto
Rico subjugated and Captain General
Blanco reduced TO actual starvation
without the possibility of help from
home. Spain will sue for peace. He is
! willing to grant IL on the terms sug-
Cested but on no other.

tain Their Exact Condition.
Washington, June S1.-First-class au-
thority at the war department is re-
sponsible for the assertion that General
Miles did not have orders to take troops
across the sea when he left Washing
ton. So far as these read he is simply
going on q tour Of inspection and the
understanding of what is to be done la
ter is only verbal.
General Miles objected to being left
I'm the air." so far as the immediate
future Is concerned. When Secretary
Alger suggested that he go south on a
tour OF inspection he objected vigorous
ly. but the president. after reviewing
the troops at Falls Church last Satur-
day. was much surprised at their gen.
eral condition. They were not nearly
as ready to go to the front as he ex-
pected, He then insisted that General
Miles make tour of inspection. He
said he wanted report from the man
who will be responsible for what the
army accomplishes before the enemy.
How many days II will take General
Miles to make this trip cannot be
known. nor whether he will make his
report TO the commander-in-chief by
wire. mail or in person.
