Washington. July 2s.-The president
by Thursday will communicate our an
swer to Spain's peace proposal to Am
bassador Cambon. If Spain gives as
surance that an armistice will be fol-
lowed by treaty of peace on certain
general lines 1t is probable the president
will agree to an armistice.
Paris, July 2S.-The government of
France has notified all the French en-
bassies of the fact that Spain has made
proposals through M. Cambon. the
French ambassador at Washington. for
peace with the United States.
Paris, July 2s-The following official

Washington has been authorized by
the French government to present
note from the cabinet at Madrid to the
president of the United States. 1t is
in the name of Spain that Nj. Cambon,
who is charged to watch Spanish inter-
ests in the United States, made this
communica ton to President Mckinley
at the White House in the presence Of
Secretary Day."
Washington, July 2S.-Spain is on her
knees. She has sued for peace. She
has had enough of war and cries quits.
She has laid aside her Castilian pride
and approached the White House as a
suppliant She has lost her haughti-
ness and assumed proper spirit of hu-
mility. She has not had the presump-
! tion to suggest terms. She has humbly
| asked whether the president will deign
! to discuss terms of peace and end a
| war disastrous to Spain and full OF
| glory for the United States.
J Through the French Ambassador.
Spain's prayer for peace came to
president Mckinley through NJ. Cam

weary of fighting and begged the presi-
dent to listen to propositions for peace
There was only one answer possible
for the ruler of $4,000 900 lovers Of peace
President Mckinley graciously con-
sented to listen to the plea of the van
quished enemy. NJ. Cambon did not
! suggest any terms and the president
did not offer any. The next move must
come from Spain. She must ask either
for the terms of the United States OF

President Will Dictate Terms.
Spain will not have much to say IL
fixing the terms OF peace. Her role will
be to say Yes" President McKinle,
will dictate the terms. He will issue al
ultimatum that the cunning dons will
not be able to dodge. He will insist OF
an unconditional surrender by Spair
and will name the price of peace. Spair
must pay that price or continue on hel
career Of disaster, which threatens t.
end In revolution. The Machiaveliar
dons may attempt to resort to the de
vious ways of European diplomacy, bu
they will be met with plain, blunt, out
spoken American methods. Presiden
Mckinley will have none of their Cas-
tilian palaver. He does not take kind
ly to the suggestion from the Vatican
for an armistice. A truce now would b.
jug-handled affair." all on one side
The administration means to add Port,
Rico to the dominion Of the stars an,
stripes. The army of conquest has al
ready landed on its shores and tn
president will not have its victoriou
march halted except with the under
standing that the island is already ours
Spain Must Cede Porto Rico.
Two OF the conditions to be impose,
upon Spain are fairly well settled II
the policy of President Mckinley. Spail
must cede Porto Rico to the Unite
states to have ard hold forever. Spai
must grant the independence Of Cub,
which will be put under protectorat
of the United States.
The administration is not clear as {
the disposition to be made of the Phil
lppines, the Ladrones and the Carolines
The least that will be asked of Spai
I'm that part of the world will be a coal
ing station or commercial base in tn
Philippines. This may be supplement
ed by a coaling station in the Ladrone
and possibly another in the Carolines
The utmost that can be done is TO ad
. all these islands to the territory of tn
J United States.
