Washington, Aug. 2.—The following is an oflicial report given out by author ity ot the president today as to the terms of peace offered by the United States: In order to remove any misapprehen- Bion in regard to the negotiations as to peace between tho United States and Spain it is deemed proper to say that the terms offered by the United States !o Spain in the note handed to the French ambassador on Saturday are in substance as follows: The president does not now put for ward any claim for pecuniary indem nity, but requires the relinquishment of all claim of sovereignty over or title to the island of Cuba, as well as the im mediate 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 Ladroues. The United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila, pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall determine the con trol, disposition and government of die Philippines.

Nor were dispatches of any significance from the front. There was no important action taken so far as could be learned, but it was decided to I make public the above statement of our j terms of peace PATROLMAN ASSASSINATED.

This country cannot afford to go back on its pledge. These are my private views, which I believe are those of the D emocratic party “I do not know what conditions may arise respecting Cuba, but 1 have never known a Spanish-American community capable of self government, aud it is possible that since we.eetout to free Cuba from Spanish domination we may be compelled to pursue a course which will eventuate iu the control of the island. While I am not iu favor of the acquisi tion of territory in the tropics, this course would lie less objectionable than any other, “Cuba is adjacent to the United States, as is Porto Rioo, but the thought of annexing the Philippines is prepos terous, undemocratic and not in accord ance with the principles handed down from the days of Thomas Jefferson. “We began this war to secure the in dependence of Cnlia and nothing more.

New York, Aug. 2.—A special to The Times from Washington says: The question of the speed of the three bat tleships provided for by the new naval program has been reopened. The propo sition now under consideration is to give tho proposed ships a displacement of 13,000 tous instead of 11,500 and to fix their minimum speed at 18 kuots in stead of 16. Chief Engineer Melville has been asked to submit designs of the new aud improved machinery, including wataf tnbed boilers, which he proposes to in stall, with a view to developing an 18- kuot speed. These designs ready, Chief Constructor Hichborn will set his bu- j reau of construction and repair to work on designs for a hull to accommodate that machinery with the requisite coal space and the desired batteries. The new scheme contemplates amain battery of 12 and 8-inch guus, instead of 13 and 6-inch, as in the present de signs, this change being prompted by the lessons learned from the Santiago engagement. A further and a more important change proposed to he made in the new ships is the addition of copper sheath ing. At a meeting this afternoon th« board voted unanimously to have thl new battleships sheathed with a view to preventing the fouling of their bot toms and the loss of speed resulting therefrom. This is a reversal or the hoard’s proposition on l|ho sheathing question. It has voted heretofore 3 to] against sheathing tho bottoms of tb battleships, Commodore Hichborn beii the only advocate of the reform. The experience of the fleet iu soutfj cm waters during the present wa when the battleships and cruisers ha^ steadily lost what sjieed they start with, as the result of marine growth their hulls, has convinced the boal that, costly as the sheathing is, it be economical in the long run, since| will enable the ships to retain tl speed for an indefinite period.
