JUDGE DAYS RESPONSE.

Following is Secretary Days response.
through NJ. Cambon, under date Of August
10th, and which Spain declares embodied
acquiescence in her reservation Of Philip
pine sovereignty from discussion in the
Peace Commission.
Your Excellency,- it Is our
understanding that the note of Duke
Almodovar de Rio, which you left with
the President on yesterday afternoon, Is
intended 10 convey an acceptance by the
Spanish Government of the terms. set
forth In my note of the S0th ultimo. as
a basis upon which the President would
appoint commissioners TO negotiate and
conclude with commissioners on the part
OF Spain a treaty of peace, l understand
that we concur in the opinion that the
Dukes note, doubtless owing to the va
rious transformations which IL has UNI
dergone in the course OF its circultous
transmission by telegraph and in cypher,
is not. in TIE form In wish IT reached
the President, entirely explicit.
Under the circumstances, il Is con-
sidered that the most certain way Of
avoiding misunderstanding Is 10 embody
in a protocol. to be signed by us as the
representatives, respectively, of the
United States and Spain. the terms on
which the negotiations for peace are 10
be undertaken
II therefore enclose herewith n draft
OF such q protocol. in which you will
find l have embodied the precise terms
rendered 10 Spain in my note OF the 30Ih
ultimo. together with appropriate stlpu-
lations for the appointing OF commits
sioners 10 arrange the details OF the I'M
mediate evacuation OF Cuba. Porto Rico.
and other islands under Spanish sove--
eighty In the West indies. as well a. Cor
the appointment of commissioners TO
treat of peace.
Accept. your Exceliency, the renewed
assurance OF my highest consideration.
WILLIAM u DAY"
THE AMERICAN CONTENTION.
The Americans hold that spain saw
that Philippine Sovereignty was involved
in the basis laid down by the United
States, and her attempted reservation OF
August It'll Is evidence thereof. The svs-
pension Of hostilities was deferred be-
cause OF this fact, and NJ. Cambon was
aware of this fact. a protocol IN precise
terms was demanded because OF this fact.
and VI. Car..bon cabled Madrid on the
same day or Secretary Days response
that the Federal Government had decided
TO state precisely in the protocol the basis
upon which peace must be negotiated II
was only when the United States regard
ed spain as having made an unqua lified
compact TO leave Philippine sovereignty
to commission by signing the protocol
that hostilities were suspended IL was
not designed by the United States 10 pre-
JUDGE Spain's rights. but to have them
determined under the protocol by the
Peace Conference. Added 10 all the de-
auctions from these communications. the
conferences In Washington Throughout.
the original peace negotiations left no
room for Spain's representatives to doubt
that the United States expected under the
protocol TO have ard 10 hold the right 10
consider SPANS sovereignty. II they cared
to exercise II.
