SOME GOOD GUESSfRS
WHEN WILL SPAIN GIVE UP AND
WHAT WILL IT COSTp
Widely Differing Opinions as to the
Territory to Be Taken and the
Indemnity to Be Exacted

The question of what terms should be ex-
acted from Spain for peace is now Of par
ticular moment, as the first step has been
taken to that end by Spain herself. and tho
matter Is being debated by the president
and cabinet. While the question will be
determined alone by the executive. his
Judgment will be affected to some extent by
the state of public sentiment; and to See
what the people of this region think on this
question The Herald has for some time past
offered prize for the nearest guess to
what those terms will be when peace Is
concluded. The following replies have been
received to date. A very wide difference in
opinions exists, for some think we should
take and keep all of Spain's possessions
upon which we can lay our hands. 1.-The
whole darn shooting match" as one man
puts it, while others think we should be
content with money indemnity. The re-
plies are given with the name and address
of the guesser first, then the answer to the
questions, What will be the date Of the
signing of treaty of peace? What Spanish
possession should be taken by the United
States in the final settlement? What mon
ey compensation should the United States
demand?
