opinion, the situation was not materi
ally changed by the Spanish PROPOSE
ton, and that the war would be press
ed with undated vigor until some thing
more tangible in the way of peace
terms was at hand.
Neither was there any suggestion
from the Spanish government that am
armistice be established, pending the
peace negotiations. 1t seemed natural
however, from the proposition that
formal peace negotiations be entered
upon, that, pending their conclusion,
cessation of hostilities would occur.
Owing to the Importance of the com
munication, the ambassador adopted
the usual diplomatic procedure OF read
ing the communication from the orig
inal French, the translation being
submitted by M. Thibeaat.
In the conversation which followed
the reading of the proposition, neither
the president nor the am AMBASSADOR
entered into the question of terms of
peace. The instructions of the ambas-
sador had been con fined to the one
essential point of opening peace
negotiations, and it was evident that
the president desired TO consider the
at this moment before Civ
ing any definite reply.
The president decided to consult
with the members of his cabinet before

At the conclusion OF the conference

The French ambassador, on behalf
of the government OF Spain, and by
direction of the Spanish minister of
foreign affairs, presented to The presi-

a message from the Spanish govern

Foraker's Opinion.

Washington, July Ex-senator For
alSer of Ohio, the only Republican men,
Der of the foreign relations committee
in the city, said that while he was very
glad to see that the end of the war was
in sight, he did not wish to take any
position which would appear to be
forestalling the action OF the admins
tration- Continuing, he said:
II do not think we should give up
any territory of which we have taken
possession. We should retain Porto
Rico and the Philippines and give to
Cuba independent government and
maintain such relations with the peo-
pie as would ultimately bring about
the annexation of the island to the
United States by the desire of the peo-
pie themselves, as in the case of Ha-
wall. The independence of the people
of Cuba is due to them tor the splendid
fight they have made for three wears
against Spain. They have made their
independence possible"
Senator Foraker said he did not see
how it was possible to turn the Philip
pine. islands back to Spain.

retention Of the Philippines
The matter of war inde4hnity is fol
future consideration, although there
does not appear to he a disposition
,among the officials here to pile up a
heavy war indemnity against Spain in
her present helpless condition.
In case the peace negotiations are
opened, the means by which they will
be carried on are not determined, nor
have they been officially considered.
1t is understood, however. that one
means likely to be proposed is to an
thorize direct negotiations between
Spain and this country, Spain being
represented by Senior Leon Castillo,
the Spanish Ambassador at Paris, and
the United States by General Horace
Porter, our ambassador to France.
Senior Castillo is one of the foremost
diplomats of Europe, and since the war
began his chief mission has been to 90
from capital to capital and endeavor
to awake foreign interven ton in be-
half of Spain. Failing in this, he has
turned his attention to the peace
movement as the last chance for saw
ing his country. Castillo is linguist,
speaking English, SO that the negotia-
tions could proceed with facility.
While not veteran in diplomacy,
General Porter is regarded as able and
tactful, and, moreover, he would be
guided by very explicit instructions
from Washington. Another plan OF
procedure contemplates the appoint
mel o 4 commission to receive and
make proposals, which will include
MEMBERS of the foreign affairs commit
zee of the senate, who will also have
yoice in the confirmation of the treaty.

Washington. July Ex-senator Nor
gan of Alabama senior democratic
member of the foreign relations com
mittee of the senate, regards the peace
proposition as sign of submission by
Spain.
THE power of Spain is broken" said
Senator Morgan, land it is plain that
there is nothing to stop us now short
of the Spanish border
Concerning the terms of peace, SEN
ator Morgan has clearly defined ideas
my first proposition, he exclaimed,
would be the complete surrender by
Spain of all territory over which the
flag floats. This would include Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Caro-
lines and the Ladrones. l would make
this surrender the subject of separ-
ate and exclusive treaty. Iwould de-
mand of Spain surrender uncondi-
tional in every particular and without
any reference to what we may wish to
do with the territory hereafter l
would mot allow any ifs nor ands'
about it. This treaty should be on such
terms that the United States can be
free to act without any conditions, and
il. should be the first proposition on
which to base peace.
II would also demand as one of the
FIRST conditions of peace, added SEN
ator Morgan, 1.-THE opening of Jail doors
to all prisoners confined for political
offenses. | would extend this PROPOSE
ton so as to include all political pris-
oners from Cuba, Porto Rico or the |

minating the war and arriving a,
terms of peace. The communication o.
the Spanish government did. not sug
gest any specific terms OF peace, nor
was any reference made 10 Cuba. the
Philippines, Porto Rico or other Span
ish possessions. The evident purpose
of the Madrid authorities was to first
learn whether the United States would
treat on the subject OF peace, and after
TO take up such terms AS the two
parties might suggest
No lntimation came from any official
source AS to the probable character OF
the answer. There were strong inti-
mations, however. that there would be
no acceptance which would imply the
stopping of the war when the Ameri-
can arms were adding victories an vie
tories, 10 embark on a vague diplomatic
negotiation. IL was felt that this gov
ernment had everything to lose in a
subtle game of diplomacy. in which
the only certain element would be the
OF our army and navy. For
this reason there was disposition in
official quarters To know what terms
were in sight before entering upon
general Negotiations. A prominent
pdininistrat alton Official said, after talk
Ing with eapinet oflicers, that, in his

intimating what his reply would be
and promised reply later. The cal
of the ambassador was two hours after
the regular cabinet meeting, and the
next regular meeting occurs on Friday.
No special meeting was called, but the
president had an informal talk with
the members of the cabinet last night,
the consultation lasting until after
midnight.
. Naturally, the plea Of Spain to open
peace negotiations, opens up wide
field of mcclure ON what the terms of
peace win be. Thus far there is no
official warrant for saying what terms
Spain will propose. or what terms the
United States win offer or accept SO
far as this country is concerned, it is
the general impression that the COM
plete Spanish evacuation of Cuba and
Porto Rico will be insisted upon. as
sine qua non. There is not the same
certainty as to the Philippines, La
irones and Carolines. although the be-
is growing that the terms will in
elnde coaling stations in these groups.
On the part of Spain it is believed she
has reached snch realization of her
that She will readily ac-
'ept terms for the evacuation of Cuba
nd probably Porto Rico. The Spanish
