flee in its power to secure that end.
Whether or not the ambassador pre-
vailed in this is not known but there
is reason to believe that the success
he attained was limited and that tn.
United States proposes TO retain some
foothold a little more important than a
simple coaling station in the islands.
Had our demand been limited to coal
ing station there would have
been no doubt of its acceptance and il
is even probable that the concession
might have been made of a consider
able tract of land for a naval station
and supporting zone.
But it is believed that there was
strenuous objection to the cession of
the city of Manila and particularly to
the reference TO commission to dis
cuss the question of the future govern
ment of the island for the Spanish
government is DESTROYS that its full
sovereignty shall remain unaffected
and without question. 1t is assumed
that Il was this point which was the
subject of amendment at the hands Of
the President, yesterday. though what
form that change took is stil unknown.
AS some mention has been made in
the public discussions of the possibility
of the acquisition of one of the Caro-
line Islands it may be stated authorl-
tatively that the matter has not been
considered by the cabinet up to this
time.
The progress made in the negoti1-
tons has given rise in some quarters to
an expectation thar hoStiltes are %
be suspended very soon. This will de-
pend entirely upon the attitude of the
Spanish governments and the nature IF
its answer to oui demands 1t has
been made clear to the French ambas-
sador that hostilitics will not be sus-
pended except upon the assurance of 4
full acceptance of our conditions and
he has undoubtedly informed the Span
ish cabinet that ii depends upon Spain
when the war shall cease.
Meanwhile, as an earnest that our
government has not interrupted thu
execution of its campaigns. an order
was issued from the war departments
today. for the dispatch of an entire
army division la reinforce Gen. Miles
and Gen. Brooke in Porto Rico. This
will be known MS the provisional divis-
ion and will be commanded by Major
General Wade. at present III command

turn over that command to Maj. Gen
Breckenridge. Inspector general of thu

him his adjutant general ana his aides.
