VIEWS OF PREMIER SAGASTA
NOT INTERESTED ~ AMENDMENT
TO PEACE TREATY.
All spain Asks Is Protection lot nef
Citizens in the Archireinso-"
Convene the 'Cortes.

New York, January 2o.--The Worio hes
the following cable from Madrid
Premier sagasta was seen and asked:
What would tho Spanish government say
to an amendment to the peace treaty put
ting the Philippines in the same posi'ioh
as Cuba, with the indemnity and all otner
provisions unchanged
In reply, Senior Sagasta said: The mat
Ter requires consideration. We must sec
what the American senate will do
whether it contemplates materially amer
ing either the spirit or the letter OF the
treaty. 1t is impossible, therefore, 10
pronounce definitely.
In any event, If the decision OF the
American senate or tie future designs
of the United States in regard to the
Philippines do not AFFECT at all the en-
gagenient entered upon by the United
States with Spain in the peace treaty II
would not matter to us whether annexa-
lion or independence prevailed. So long
as America enforces tho protection OF the
rights OF our subjects in the Philippines
and the advantages promised our trade
we can not object.
"All this. however, Is merely hypothet-
ical as we can not form an opinion or
pronounce Judgment until we ara officially
informed OF the drift of the events at
Washington. My intention is decidedly to
convoke the cortes about the middle OF
February, whether the treaty has been
ratified or not then In Washington"

what the Madrid press has said in the

nexatiou of the Philippines is abandoned

| clauses of The Paris treaty are carried

| The editor of the Epoca, the CHIEF organ
