OUR PEACE TERMS.
CONDITIONS AGREED ON BIZ THE
PRESIDENT AND CABINET.


The reply made through the
French Ambassador to the Spanish
proposition for peace is in substance: :
1. Spain must give up Cuba.
2. All Spanish troops must be
removed from Porto Rico and the
minor West Indies, and the isla nds
ceded to the United States.
4. Control by the United States
over Manila, the bay, and surround
ing territory, including Cavite.
No claim is now put forward for
pecuniary indemnity but all sover-
eignity over Cuba, and its evacuation
by Spain, the cession and evaoua-
ton of Porto Rico and other islands
in the West Indies under Spain.
The United States to occupy and
hold the city. bay, and harbor of
Manila, pending a treaty of peace
which shall determine the control,
disposition and government of the
Philippines. If these terms are ac-
cepted commissioners will be ap-
pointed by each country to meet
and conclude treaty of peace on
the basis above indicated. 1t is
thought Spain will accept, as the
general opinion among the foreign
powers is that the terms are as easy
as she could expect and far better
than she will obtain if the war is
further prolonged by her refusal.
General Miles, in command of the
Porto Rico expedition telegraphed
last Sunday that the volunteers
were surrendering themselves with
arms and ammunition. Four-fifths
of the people are overjoyed at the
arrival of the army. Two thousand
from one place volunteered to serve
with it. They brought in transpor.
tation, beef, cattle and other need
ed supplies, The Custom House
had already yielded $14,0
The reply of Spain to the terms
offered by this government has been
received by the French Ambassa-
dor, but it will probably not be pre-
sented until has received further
instructions which he now expects.
Whether the President will make
public the Spanish note when he re-
ceives it may largely. depend on
whether Spain accepts the terms
in their entirety as he demanded.
There may be diplomatic qualifi-
cations or reservations in the answer
which may necessitate further ex-
plantations or possibly the withdraw
al of the terms. The cabinet is
divided in opiniou as to the SINGER
ity of Spain and some members have
little faith in her good intent ions.
If her reply is an acceptance the de-
tails will be formally arranged and
an armistice agreed on and pro-
claimed and peace commissioners
appointed.
Reports from Madrid are that if a
definite reply is received from the U .
S. on the questions submitted by
the Spanish government the cabinet
will meet at once and accept the
terms of peace.

AN APPEAL FOR AID.
TO RELIEVE A wRRTcHED, SUI.
FERINe PEOPLF.

--~Nr
The Associate Society OF Red Cross
of Phila. has, during the present
war and the distress, in Cuba. which
preceded the breaking out of HOSTILE
ties between our country and Spain.
been actively engaged in its huinani-
tartan work of ministering to the
necessities of the men in the field
and the suffering Cubans. 1t has
sent many articles of comfort, even
of life-saving Importance to our
troops in their various camps, some
times in response to most touching
appeals the appeal came and the
Society was ready. 1t has besides
made large number of shipments
of goods, provisions, clothing, medi-
cines TO the Cubaus. In all its work
it has been nobly upheld, notably
by the people of Philadelphia, but
also by those of other parts of the
State and of New Jersey.
During the blockade and the siege
of Santiago, one branch of its minis
tration was necessarily suspended,
but the Society was not idle, stores
continued to be received, money to be
collected. Among other things the
equipment Of field ambulance and
hospital service has been undertaken
and already has 80 far proceeded as
to be properly regarded as an accom-
plished fact, and the Society will be
able to put in the field six ambul-
lance, with their proper appurtenance
and properly equipped field hcspi-
tai.
The fall of Santiago reopens the
opportunity merciful work in Cuba.
The Society has already made
arrangements to forward servrl tons
of stores, which have been only wait
ing chance to be sent, and has ap.
propriated in addition for this ship
ment 81, 200. But this is but drop in
the ocean of suf ,rlng. More must
be done The Society propose, there
fore, to charter steamer, to sail
from Philadelphia about August
18th, to convey the ambulance corps
and equipment to the front and to
load the vessel with stores, such as
soldiers may need and which the
government does not provide, and
with clothing. food, and medicine
and such other things as many qe
required dy those wrethed, suffering
people, whom we encouraged to re-
sist Spain and to make a struggle
for liberty, and whose suffering has
been fearfully and necessarily en-
hanced by the war upon which we
have entered.
The Society, therefore, appeals to
what has never been appeal to in
vain, to the grand old heart of
Pennsylvania, the grand Common
welth whose foundations were laid
in love to man,-to save lives-to re-
leve snfferinf-to feed the starving
-th clothe the naked. The Society
makes this appeal in all confidence.
Pennsylvania has nver yet failed
when call upon in the name of pat
aiotism and humanity. She will
not fail now

mid-roader in Cations place. The nominee
they will claim the regular candidate for
the Peoples party, and thus Prof. Cation, If
not finally endorsed by the Democrats or
soma other body, may stand without any
party backing.
This was the situation when the gentlemen
above mentioned tackled the case behind
closed doors at the West late in the evening
They made an appeal to Prof. Cation to re-
tire. that a union candidate might be nut
on in his place, If indeed, the professor were
not himself chosen in the end, as result of
the good feeling and hopefulness which would
follow. But all efforts were in the end IN
availng. The professor refused to yield, his
grounds being that he could not do so with
out oHendlng and in1uring the Peoples party,
and that they would nominate another man
even II he should retire, under their original
claim of the candidate this year.
Committeeman Rosing and Towne while
declining to talk, are understood to be dis
couraged about securing further cooperation
in Hennepin. and if that is the case, it will
certainly endanger success on either city or
county tickets, while as to Cation. it will
be interesting to see what vote he will re-
ceive or where 1t will come from, since the
mid-road Populists will expect their man
in Cations place to held the Peoples party
name. Cation will not be the union nor the
cooperation candidate, nor the Democratic.
as things now stand. OF Silver Republicans
he is none, for they were turned down by
his original convention. Thus the Cation can
didacy will hang out mysteriously in the
air, and more or less fzzle and sputter, while
one particular beneficiary, Your Uncle Loren
looks on with a smile.
What the result will finally be no one can
tell. AS it stands, Mr.. Owen is the nominee
of the Silver Republicans, Endorsed by the
Democrats, but he has no intention of stand
ing as the candidate. nor would he stand, if
Prof. Cation should retire. has been ascer-
tanned, on account of bad health and for bus
mess reasons.
There are those who still hope that Prof
Cation will retire, and permit the selection of
some man who can beat Fletcher. but the
committeeman left the job very much dis
couraged. The outlook is that the Democrats
on refusal of Owen to accept, will simply
leave the place vacant.
However, earnest men among both Demo-
Gratis and Populists do not give the case UP.
but are still going ahead with efforts for
some settlement.

MINNEAPOLIS July 29.-The would-be op-
position candidate for congress in Hennepin
Fourth district hangs out in mid-air, with
apparently not a thing to soften the coming
fall. Such is the result of an effort during
the past two days to solve the situation, and
secure one candidate opposed to Fletcher.
Those engaged in the effort have been
State Chairman Rosing, of the Democratic
committee; Hon. c. A. Towne and State
Chairman D. NJ. Parsons, of the Silver r.
Stacy, of the Peoples party committee. The
effort commenced Thursday evening at the
West hotel lasted till late into that night,
and was continued Friday and not abandoned
until Mr.. Towne was obliged to depart for
Wadena to attend the county convention
there, and Chairman Rosing left for Cannon
Falls.
What was hoped for, and not accomplished,
was the solving of the mix so thet it might
be possible to have but enc candidate in the
field against the Republicans, and that one
supported by Democrats, Populists and the
Silver Republicans, as two years ago.
The nomination in Hennepin this year had
y,
same manner that they had ghe union candi-
date two years ago, and in recognition of the
race made then by S. NJ. Owen. The M d.
Road POpulists, however, seized on the ma
chinery of the Peoples party, called their
convention in advance of the other Lxo allies
and rushed through the nomination Of Mr..
Cation. This action so embittered the Demo-
Gratis that when their county convention
came on recently a large element was Lp-
posed to uniting on the county ticket. There
were other aggravations, the result of all If
which was that the Democrats were on the
point Of going it entirely alone on the
county as on the city ticket, OF course the
Republicans have aided ALI in their power
to maintain the breach and an incident OF
the past two days has been the circulation
OF a rumor that 81, 900 of Republican money
has been added to the circulating med UNI
to defeat cooperation since the time the
Democratic county convention was held.
With scarcely an exception Cooperation
lists have agreed that the plan of the enemy
could only be frustrated by the retirement of
Prof. Cation. To complicate his own situation
as q candidate, Prof. Caton's own committee
met and demanded that he show his hand,
as TO whether or not he was for Lind, or for
the mid-road candidate, Long, for governor
Mr.. Cation took up their gauntlet, and de-
clared that he was for union and for the Lind
ticket, whereupon that element seeded from
his committee, and is expected to nominate
