The Belief Based Upon Circumstantial Evi- dence Rather Than Upoa Any Aseur- ance Received from Spalsa— Reports from Havana Show That Blanco Cannot Hold Out Mach Longer. Washington, Aug. 2.—The cabine was insession an hour and ten minutes. It is positively stated that no word in any form has come from Spain, nor were there dispatches of any signifi- cance from the front. There was no important action taken, so far as could be learned, except that it was decided to make public a statement of our terms of peace. The official statement given out by authority of the president to-day as to the terms of peace offered by the United States is as follows: In order to remove any misapprehension in Pegard to the negotiations as to peace between the United States and Spain, -it is deemed proper to say that the terms offered by the United States to Spain in the note handed to the French smbassador on Saturday last are in substance as follows: ‘The president does not now put forward any elaim for pecuniary indemnity, but requires the relinquishment of all claims of sovereignty over or title to the island of Cuba as well as the immediate evacuation by Spain of the island; the cession to the United States and immediate evacuation of Porto Rico and other islands under Spanish sovereignty in the West Indies; and the like cession of an island in the Ladrones. ‘The United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila, pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall de- termine the control, disposition and govern- ment of the Philippines. If these terms are accepted by Spain in their entirety, it is stated that commissioners will be named by the United States to meet com- missioners upon the part of Spain for the pur- pose of concluding a treaty of peace on the basis above indicated President McKinley believes that the next 48 hours will determine the question of peace or continued war. Reports which he has received have shown the situation in Havana to be such that Blanco cannot hold out much longer and have convinced the president that Spain will accept his terms There will be no _ hag- gling or bargaining as to the price ot peace. President McKinley’s note is an ultimatum which Spain must accept or reject. Its acceptance will result in the framing of a treaty with the terms as a basis which will at once be submitted to the senate for ratification. The committee to deter- mine the future of the Philippines will not be required to report prior to the ratification of the treaty, its decision to be incorporated in a treaty which will also be submitted to the senate for ratification. There is not a member of the admin- istration who does not confidently be- lieve that peace is near at hand. It is & belief based upon circumstantial evi- dence rather than any assurance re- ceived from Spain. The reply of Spain to the president’s note on the terms upon which the United States will consent to peace is not looked for be- fore to-morrow, but when it comes the authorities are sanguine that it will be sw virtual, if not a full, acceptance. The president told a number of his eallers yesterday that he considered it certain that there would be an early termination of hostilities. A cabinet member also said last night that he had reason to believe that peace would be an established fact inside of 48 hours. He said, however, that he based this belief mainly upon the logic of the situation. JEALOUS OF AMERICANS. Aguinaido Does Not Ald Dewey Because He Fears the Island Will Again Be Given Back to Spain. New York, Aug. 2—A _ cablegram from Cavite, July 30, via Hong Kong, reports that acorrespondent has spent two days in interviewing insurgent leaders. Asa result the correspondent says he discovered evidences of jeal- ousy of the American invasion, but no actual anti-American feeling. The dispatch adds: Aguinaldo is respectful toward Admiral Dewey, Gen. Merritt and Consul Wildman and will go any lengths to retain Consul Wildman's good opinion, but he holds back from giving energetic help to the United States forees. He will give only @ negative sort of assistance un- tilhe knows the exact form which the Ameri- can policy will take. Heis disturbed by tele- graphic reports that the United States will abandon the islands to Spain There are some indications of a clash between Gen. Merritt and Aguinaldo. Speaker Reed Renominated. Portland, Me., Aug. 3.—The repub- licans of the First congressional dis- trict held their convention here to- day, The name of Thomas B. Reed was presented to the convention and he was nominated by acclamation amid much enthusiasm. Fatal Collapse of a Tank. Dallas, Tex., Aug. 2.—A newly-fin- ished water tank on top of a tower 85 feet high, to be used for private fire protection, collapsed yesterday, fatal- ly injuring William Pierce, a work- man, and doing damage to the extent of $50,000. The Sick at Santiago. Washington, Aug. 2.—The following telegram has been received from Gen. Shafter: “Sanitary condition for July 29: Total sick, 4,164; total cases of fever, 3,212; new cases of fever, 609; cases of fever returned to duty, 793.” ?

While ont driving at Kingston, Mo., Mrs. William Loomis was thrown from her buggy by a fractious horse and her seven-weeks-old baby was- killed instantly. - _ - | | | | AGUINALDO A HINDRANCE. Manila Would Surrender to the Americans Only for the Attitade Assamed by the Insurgent Leader. London, Aug. 2—A dispatch to the Daily Mail from Hong Kong, dated August 1, says: Admiral Dewey has received word from Capt | Gen Augusti that he is willing to surrender so | soon as he can do so honorably. It is believed that he will only make a show of resistance. Dewey expects to take the city without losing asingle man Should Dewey and Merritt be- gin the attack, Augusti will propose to capitu- late on these terms: The Spanish troops to march out with the honors of war: the sol- diers and officials to be permitted to return on | parole to Spain and an assurance to be given that the lives and property of Spaniards will be protected from naval! attack The situation at the front is most extraor- 4inary. Each foree is guarding its own lines, but the insurgents are little better than armed rabble. They pass freely through the Ameri- can camp and mingle with the troops, but they render no assistance and are, indeed, rather a hindrance to the operation. Gen Merritt has not met Aguinaldo. The condition of the Span- ish prisoners confined by the insurgents at Ca- vite is most deplorable and has excited the pity and sympathy of Gen Merritt. who began to issue rations last Friday without advising Aguinaldo. This is probably the first step to- wards assuming proper authority over the in- surgents, who had hitherto been treated as masters of the situation. The attitude of the insurgents is the only difficulty in the way of an immediate settlement of the whole matter. SENATOR JONES’ OPINION. The Chairman of the National Democratic Committee Says a Few Words on Var Foreign Policy. St. Louis, Aug. 2.—Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the national democratic committee, who was in the city conferring with prominent members of his party, had this to say concerning our foreign policy before he left for New York: The United States is pledged to the world that an independent and stable government shall be established in Cuba When I voted for that resolution nothing was said about im- perialism. This country cannot afford to go back on its pledge. These are my private views, which I believe are those of the demo- cratic party. Ido not know what ccnditions may arise respecting Cuba, but I have never known Spanish-American community capa- ble of self-government, and it is possible Cuba that since we set out to free from Spanish domination we may be compelled to pursue a course which will eventuate in the control of the island. While I am not in favor of the ac- quisition of territory in the tropics, this course would be less objectionable than any other. Cuba is adjacent to the United States, as is Porto Rico, but the thought of annexing the Philippines is preposterous, undemocratic and notin accordance with the principles handed down from the days of Thomas Jefferson. We began this war to secure the independence of Cubs and nothing more. When we have ac- complished that end and Spain has indemnified us for the enormous war expense our mission will be done. TO BLOW UP MILES. Alleged Spanish Plot at San Jaan to Wipe the American Army Off the Earth. Boston, Aug. 2.—The British schoon- er Bravo, Lunenburg, N. S., arrived at Provincetown to-day from San Juan, Porto Rico, having run the blockade. Capt. Emeno in an interview said: The Americans will have a hard job taking San Juan, no matter how they succeed in other parts of the island) San Juan is strongly forti- fied and on the land side it is very well de- fended. The soldiers, and I think there are 25,000 or 30,000 of them on the island, have been preparing for the coming of the Amer- feans. They have erected strong defenses all around the city, earthworks and rifie pits, and have prepared a plot which they fondly hope to put into execution should the Americans enter the city. This plot is no less than to blow up the entire American army. For this purpose they have laid pipes tilled with powder underground, leading to mines here and there, all beneath the city. Should the defense fail, they intend to surrender, allow the American troops to take possession, and when they are well within and flushed with victors, the whole system of mines will be fired and the American army be wiped off the face of the earth NO EXTRA SESSION. Senate Will Meet to Ratify Treaty of Peace, but House Will Not Assembie Until December. Washington, Aug. 2.—There will be no extra session of congress, though the senate will have to be called together for prompt ratification of the treaty of peace, if the present plans of the president prevail It is stated at the white house that unless there should be some extraordinary develop- ment the house will not meet until it convenes in regular ses- sion next December. This state- ment, made on the authority of the president himself in answer to inquiries, isin contradiction of reports circulating among public men that congress will soon meet to draft legis- lation to meet the demands that will follow the close of the war. They Will All See Service. Washington, Aug. 2.—Although the war department officials will not ad- mit that they have any intention of reinforcing further Gen. Merritt's forces at Cavite, there is reason to be- lieve that some of the troops now in eastern camps who desire to see active service will soon find the opportunity unless the government shall change its present plans with respect to the Philippines. Democrats Sweep Alabama. Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 2.—Joseph F. Johnson, democrat, was re-elected governor of Alabama yesterday. Un- official returns indicate a democratic majority for the state ticket of 55,000. The chairman of the democratic com- mittee claims 5 TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

A draw was the decision randered Monday night at the Greater New York Athletic club, Coney island, after Tommy White, of Chicago, and Solly Smith, of Los Angeles, had fought 25 rounds to decide the featherweight ehampionship of the world) The men met at 122 pounds. TA GVENMET OF IBN | Administration Formulating Plans | for an American Military Re- gime in the Island. | GARRISONS FOR THE PRINCIPAL CITIES. | Gen. Lee Will Be Placed in Command of the Garrisoning Army and Made Mili- tary Governor of Cuba—The Work of Embarking the Spanish Troops at San- tiago Begun—Prisoners Released. Washington, Aug. 2.—The adminis- tration is formulating general plans for a temporary American military regime in Cuba, following the conclu- sion of peace between the United States and Spain. The government is aware of the critical period in the his- tory of the island which is certain to attend the withdrawal of the Spanish sovereignty from the ter ritory and the installation of the Cuban republican administra- tion. The presence of an American garrison in all the principal cities and towns of the island is confidently ex- pected, and these garrisons will proba- bly need to be maintained for several months. The war department is, therefore, contemplating the detail of an army of 50,000 men for the Cuban occupation after peace shall have been declared. This occupation, from the present outlook, will begin in the early fall. The force of 50,000 will be selected from the volunteer army exclusively, and pains will be taken to give those regiments which have not yet gone to the front a ehance to see service in Cuba The military government will temporarily prevail throughout the island in all probability, and Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will be placed in command of the garrisoning army and made military governor of the territory. Spanish Troops Embarking. New York, Aug. 2.—J. M. Ceballos, the New York manager of the Span- ish steamship line, said that the first of the transports of tle line which has the contract for conveying the sur- rendered Spanish troops at Santiago to Spain arrived yesterday at Santiago. The work of embarking 1,800 soldiers was immediately begun. The trans- port is the Alicante, from Martinique. Manager Ceballos declined to state what other transports are expected at Santiago. Political Prisoners Released. Washington, Aug. 2.—The war de- partment has posted the following telegram from Gen. Shafter dated Santiago de Cuba, August i: ‘All po- litical prisoners have been immedi- ately released as soon as we reached them. Have not heard from Guantan- amo, but Gen. Ewers went there three days ago to receive the surrender of arms and political prisoners. They were undoubtedly released on his arrival.” INDIAN CENSUS, The Last Roll of the Indians Being Taken at Ardmore Preparatory to Allotting Their Lands. St. Louis, Aug. 2.—A special to the Post-Dispatch from Ardmore, L T., says: The Dawes commission arrived here to-day and began taking a census of the Indians. This is the last rollof the Indians preparatory to an allot- ment of their lands) The Cherokee council convenes at Tahlequah, L T., to-day to act on the Curtis bill.
