WILL SPAIN 11111012 Her Cabinet is Now _C’onsidering Our Terms of Settlement. - AN SWBR IS EXPECTED SOON The President’s Note llIay Be Made Pub- lic.[Ambassador Cambo‘n’s Promise Mis- understood. He Had No Authority to Conciude Peace. Ind: pendence of.Cuba NotiDemanded. Much Discussion of the Peace Terms at the Capital. Washington, Aug. 2.——The terms of peace are still a subject of energetic discussion, and the promise of two days ago that the proposal on the part of :the United States should be given to 1the public in an official statement has not yet been fulfilled. The hope of the jingoes that the administration would insist upon the ces-sion of the whole Philippine group has been rudely sha- ken. by the estimate of Rear Admiral Dewey that we should require 150,000 troops to make good our demand by it as a matter of negotiation. The. Spanish government received President McKinley’s answer in regard to peace Sunday and yesterday the French ambassador notified the state department that there would be no ob- jection to making public the president’s note. Owing to the fact, hOWever, that Sec— retary Day has not returned from At- lantic City, where he spent Sunday .with his wife, it is stated that the pres— ident’s move may not be made public until late this afternoon, and it is just possible that it may be held until to- morrow. There seems to be a misunderstand- ing in regard to the French ambassa— dor‘s exact position in regard to the peace negotiations, out it is stated in the most positive manner rto-day at the state department that M. Cambon has .not received extraordinary or plenipo- tentiary p0wers in the negotiations now pending. He has simply been designa- ted the. intermediary for the transmis- sion of the note. He has not been made ambassador from Spain for two rea- sons. _ > First. to do.sudh a thing would be to renew diplomatic relationsbetween the United States. and Spain, a course which the president would not take at this time, because no diplomatic rela- tions can exist between two countries at war with each other. Secondly, the French republic would -—not allow its ambassador to act as am- bassador for Spain. M. Cambon has the permission of his government, as well as the consent of the United States to act as intermediary, but not with any plenipotentiary powers. It is further stated at the state de- partment that the French ambassador has no authority to conclude peace ne— gotiations, for all notes or diplomatic communications must be sent direct to Madrid. It is stated, therefore, at the state department rthat although Spain has received the president’s terms, it cannot be stated positively when an answer will be given. It is true that there was a slight modification of the text of the president’s note made at the White House on Saturday afternoon during the ambassadors call, but this did not relate entirely to the Philip. pines. It was a. slight change in the lan- guage in regard to other parts of the note to make it appear less severe dip- lomatically. V As to Cuba. There is one point made clear in the president’s note, and that is that it does not demand the independence of Cuba, but demands that the sovereign- ty ‘of Spain over this island, as well as the others in the West Indies shall cease, and the Spaniards withdraw their armed forces. This is a most im— portant feature and will add greatly to the prospect of an early acceptance by Spain of the terms. If the indepen- dence of Cuba Were demanded it would mean the immediate withdrawal of our troops from the island as well as the Spanish army and the turning over 01‘: Cuba to the Cubans. The president’s policy is not to do this, but to send an army of occupation tothe island, to re- ~main there until a stable government can be established, if this is possible. While it is the opinion of some that Spain wil send her answer to the French ambassador by to—day, this opinion is not held by officials of the state department. 'The president took three days to formulate his answer, and certainly Spain will require at _ least that long to decide a question ' which means so, much to her. 1 President Names New Officials.

Earls and Lords in His Business London, Aug. 2.—Tl':e examination of Ernest Terah Hooley, :the bankrupt company promoter, was resumed here yesterday. A number of lawyers were present in behalf of distinguished clients who de— nied Mr. Hooley’s charges in connec- tion with payment of large sums of money for the use of their names 01' for introductions to people of promi- nence. Mr. Hooley, upon examination, iri— sisted, with a few exceptions, upon the truth of the statements he had made. He said in regard to the Earl of Winv Chelsea that the latter himself sugges— ted he ought to be given ten thousand pounds for joining the directorate 01 the cycle company. The earl, the witness added, said he could not take the money personally, but remarked that it could be given to his brother, Mr. Finch- Hatton. '1 Continuing, Mr. Hooley said he paid him-three thousand pounds, and he as- serted that the Earl of Winchelsea re- ceived two thousand pounds for join- ing the directorate of a horseless car- riage company. t As to the Earl of AJbermarle, Mr. Hooley expressed the opinion that his silly disclaimer did not need any ex; planation. .1 Later, Mr. Hooley testified that Earl De-La-W'arr offered him one thousand pounds to say that the twenty five thousand pounds paid him by the wit- ness was a gift made after the flota— tion of the company in which :the earl figured. t Mr. Hooley further testified that cer- tain directors of the Humber company offered him one thousand pounds ($5,- 000) and two thousand pounds ($10, 0010' to commit perjury and say that the fifty thousand pound-s ($250, 000) which he had paid them, was profit from other business. No Negotiations Over the Philippines. London, Aug. 2.-In the“House '01 Commons yesterday the parlriamentarv secretary of the foreign office, Mr. Geo. N. Curzon, answering a. question, said there were no negotiations betWeen Great Britain and the United States in regard to the Philippine islands, and that no information had reached he! majesty's government in support of the statement that Germany had made or was making an attempt to acquire the island of Luz-on. , Continuing, Mr. Curzon said 'the gov- ernment was aware that the future oi the Philippine islands was causing anx- ‘iety in Australia, andwhe- further re- marked that the matter will, of course, receive the government’s close atteen- tion. Replying to questions on the subject of China, Mr. Curzon said Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister to China, had been instructed on July 22‘ to inform the Tsung li Yamen (Chinese foreign office) that Great Britain would support China against any power per- mitting an act of aggression in China, ”because China had granted a British subject permission \to aid or build a railroad or other public works. (Cheers) . A Home for Sick Soldiers. " New York, Aug. 2.-—President Clau- sen of the park board has sent the fol- lowing letter to Secretary Alger of the war department. "I desire on behalf of the city of New York to rtender to the 'United States government the use of a piece of prop- erty under my jurisdiction as presi- dent of the park board, for a Ihome or shelter for convalescents among the soldiers and sailors, whose return from the seat of war was made necessary by reason of sickness or injury. “It is the premises formerly known as the West End hotel, in Fort Wash- ington park. The building is of brick and is surrounded by spacious piazzas. Its location is a beautiful and salubri- ous one upon the banks of :the Hudson river. “I am advised that in case the gov- ernment desires to avail itself of their services, a staff of physicians and sur- geons can be recruited from those re- siding in the neighborhood of the park who will freely offer’their services to the government without compensation to assist in the care of patients of such a shelter.” Sending Hmne the Spanish Pri, oners. New York, Aug. 2.—-—J. M.

The Insurgenzs Are Becoming hIore Arrogant. The Sub render of Manila to Be Demanded. . It May Already Have Been Made. A Con- fercnce at Washington. -\Vashington, Aug. 2.—General Mer— ritt has again cabled the war depart- ment relative to the situation in Ma- nila, which he finds very unsatisfac- tory and dangerous, owing to the atti- tude of the insurgents. In the opinion of General Merritt the attitude of the insurgents there is similar to that as- sumed by Garcia’s Cubans uponihe question of their right to enter and pos-' sess themselvts of the city, although in this case :the insurgents are a very much more formidable element, being not only more numerous, but better armed and filled with the arrogance following numerous victories over their Spanish foes. General Merritt, however, indicates that he will do his utmost to protect the citizens from the savagery of the insurgents, though his task is a deli- cate and difficult one, because of the fact that he must, while fighting the Spaniards, be ready at any moment to repel the insurgents. To Demand Surrender. The general gave notice that he was about to combine with Admiral Dewey in a joint demand for the surrender of the city to the United States forces, thus forestalling the insurgents, and this move may cause a rupture. It is possible, in View of the fact that Gen- eral Merritt s cablegram was sent from Cavite last Thursday, that this move- ment has been made already by-the combined American military and naval forces, although there is some doubt about this on account of a. stattment from General Merritt that he may need all of his soldiers before attacking. Still it is possible that the demand might be made without being immedi- ately followed by an attack, which- might be deferred until all the troops have reached. Cavite. Up to the date of the report General Merritt had with him about 12,000 soldiers. San Francisco carrying soldiers to the Philippines, and it is the intention to furnish .the genera: commanding at least 8,000 men more thanfihis present force. If he delays his attack until all these have reached him, Manila. will not be. taken in that way before Sep- tember, for the last of the troops have not yet started from San Francisco. It may be, however, that the arrange- ment as to the Philippines which, it is treaty, will obviate the necessity for further action on the part of the Amer- ican commanders. Secretary Alger and Secretary Long went into conference with the president at 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon over Ihe serious situation in the Philippines. They had important dispatches from General Merritt and Admiral Secretary Alger admitted the signifi- cance of these dispatches, but declined to state their exact nature. Terrible Conditions on the Conchn. New York, Aug. 2.—-—The disinfecting of the transport ship No. 14, formerly the Mallory liner Concho, which arriv- ed in port Sunday from Siboney, with 175 soldiers and army officers on board, was so far completed yesterday that 125 of the men were removed to Swin- burne island. The officers were land- ed in the city Sunday night. The men remaining on board, about twenty-five in number, are too ill to be moved, and the Concfho must be their hospital for a. few days. The transport is the sec- ond ship Ito come with sick and woun— ded soldiers into port in such a. condi— tion, it is alleged, as would seem to call for the most strict and immediate inv estigation. When the 175 soldiers on board, ill from fever or wounds, besides several civilians, hospital accommodations, it is said, were provided for less than one-third. There were but 58 cots in good shape on the ship, it is alleged, and over a hundred malaria and ty- phoid patients were forced to lie on rude bunks without mattresses or blankets, in a foul, ill smelling hold,‘ and where the drainage from the upper decks filtered through on to them. Bismarck’s Funeral. Berlin, August 2.—A dispatch from Friedrichsruhe to the Hamburg Nach- ridhten says it has been definitely de- cided that the remains of Prince 'Bis- marck are to be interred at .the spot selected by himself, where a simple mausoleum will be built' and to which the remains of his wife will be trans- ferred from Varsin. Until the mausoleum is completed, the funeral rites will be confined to the. simple ceremony of blessing the re- mains, which will be performed by the local pastor of the village of Bruns- torf. Prince Bismarck’s final written in- structions, signed by .‘himself, expresses [his desire to be buried in the Sachsen- ' weld and conclude:» “For an epitaph, I wish ‘Prince von Bismarck, born April 1, 1815; died —,’ with the addi- tion of “a faithful German servantpf the Emperor William I.’ ” , Rapid l\Iail Delivery.
