TERMS OF THE SURRENDER.
GEN. MERRITT CABLES ITS TEXT
TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT.

Considerable Difference of Opinion
as to the Significance OF the Terms
of CapituIation-COnstr at
Washington to Mean All spanish
Possessions In the Philippines.
"suburbs" of Manila an Elastic
Expression CapituIatiOn of All
Spanish Troops Emphasizes the
Construction of That Portion OF
the Terms-NO Thought of the
Americans EvncuntiRg-NO Report
Made by Admiral Dewey.
Washington, Aug 2O.-Oficial announce
ment Of the terms of the capituiation
agreed on at Manila reached the war de-
partment this evening in dispatch from
Gen. Merritt. 1t was the first notification
officially of the nature of the shpulations
and embraced the complete terms in SIX
articles. There is considerable difference
of opinion as to the exact significance OF
the terms of capitulation, but the best
opinion obtainable tonight construed the
language TO embrace all Spanish posses
sions in the Philippines and not Manila
alone.
While the preamble specifically cites the
functions of the commission to be to de-
termine the details Of the capitulahon of
the city and defenses of Manila and it's
suburbs and the Spanish forces stationed
therein, it is pointed out that the word
Suburbs" Is an elastic expression, and
the language of article stating that the
Spanish troops, both the European and
the native, capitulate with the city and
defenses goes to emphasize this construc-
ton.
This is the view expressed by war Off
cials and considered in this light goes to
confirm press dispatches stating the cap
itulation involves the whole Philippines.
One unusual provision is embraced In the
reference to the return of surrendered
arms, the article providing for the re-
turn when the Spanish evacuate, "or the
American army evacuates." This how
ever, is a diplomatic expression, and Sec
retary Alger tonight showed that there
need be no alarm on that score by his
statement: "There is no thought of the
Americans evacuating."
All unsettled points in the terms of
surrender will have to be finally deter
mined by the President, though there is
no doubt that he will approve whatever
agreement Gen. Merritt makes. The terms
make no reference to the harbor and
strictly provides for land occupations.
Admiral Dewey. however. has made no
report of the terms, No present difficult
ties will be experienced in feeding the 49,
900 Spanish troops on the island.
The reported insurgent raids in Cuba
caused considerable comment in official
circles, but Hhe view was taken at the
war department that the raids did not
indicate a purpose on the part of the Gu
bans to disregard the suspension of hostil-
tiles 1t is presumed that the raids oc-
CURED before the Cubans were aware of

AVenEe Spanish Atrocities.


Ponce. Porto Rico, Aug. 19.-(Delayed
In transmission)-A war of retaliation
against the Spanish residents of the island
within the American lines is threatened;
retaliation for the horrible outrages COM
mitted by the Spanish troops at GALES,
where over eighty persons are said to have
been macheted by the soldiers, The re-
voting details of the butchery of men
and women, the ravishing OF young girls
and nameless mutlations have stirred a
cry for vengeance.
Early this morning natives burned the
town of Gotta, seven miles from here. The
Spanish residents fed. Throughout the
surrounding country the Spanlards are
terror stricken and are appealing TO the
Americans for protection.
The shops kept by Spanards here which
were opened after the signing of the peace
protocol have been closed again through
fear of the rioters.
To-day's editions Of two papers which
Historically demanded vengeance and the
expulsion of all Spanish-born residents
were suppressed by the military authori-
ties. who are doing all in their power to
allay the fears of the Spanish inhabitants.
Capt Evans, the provost marshal, with
two companies of the Nineteenth Infantry
at his command. has doubled the provost
guard, but the military have difficulty in
preventing the individual cases OF pcrse-
cution. The natives, who are fomenung
the trouble, are of the lowest class and
many of them are criminals. over twen-
ty-five of the ring leaders in the disturb
ances have been arrested.
The report that the Concho arrived here

PREMIER sAGAsTA,s CLAIMS.
Indemnity for Property Question
VIII Not BE Discussed.


win Not BE Discussed.
Washington, Aug. 20.-Premier sagas-
ta's claim, as set forth in Madrid dispatch
es. that Spain will expect Indemnity for
all government property, buildings, barr
racks fortiications. etc, in Cuba, Porto
Rico and elsewhere, has ex-
cited much comment as show
ing the difficult questions to be
treated by the military and peace COM
missions.
In official quarters here there is no dis
position to make a counter claim to Pre-
mier Sagasta's proposition, for this will
be done in due time before the commits
sions, and there is no purpose 10 outline
the governments policy in advance.
At the same time, leading officials ex-
press their individual opinion that Pre-
mier Sagasta's claim is very far fetched
as 1t is said to be the established rule
of international law that all public prop
erty of a sovereign government passes to
the eonquerer when a change of terri
tory occurs The rule is ddually well es-
tabllshed that private property undergoes
no change. The question is somewhat
complicated in the present case by the
fact that Cuba and Porto Rico are not
acquired strictly by conquest, but rather
by mutual agreement. In the case of
Cuba the question is further complicated
by the fact that the United States has
not asserted a purpose TO acquire or an
mex the territory, but merely to free it
from Spanish domination.
