\\M SPAIN
Official Statement Given Out
as to Negotiations For
Ending the War.
BAY OF MANILA DEMANDED
Madrid Government Required to Cede
All Her West Indian Possessions to
This Country Save Cuba and That
Island to He Free.
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.
If these terms are accepted by Spain
in their entirety it is stated that com
missioners will be named by the United
States to meet commissioners on the
part of Spain for the purpose of con
cluding a treaty of peace on the basis
above indicated.
The cabinet met in regular session
today and remained behind locked doors
over an hour. It was positively suited
that no word in any form had come
from Spain. 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

enemies and knew that his life had been
threatened by several parties. Before

he made many enemies.
Several negroes have been arrested,

“He will give only a negative sort of

reports that the Uuited States will

Chairman of the National Democratic
Committee Heard From.
St. Louis, Ang. 2.—Senator James
R. Jones of Arkansas, chairman of tho
national Democratic committee, who
was iu the city conferring with promi
nent members of his party, has this to
say concerning our foreign policy be
fore he left lor New Y’ork:
“The United States is pledged to the
world that an independent and stable
government shall bo established in
Cuba.
“When I voted Jor that resolution
nothing was said about imperialism.
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.
When we have accomplished that end
and Spain has indemnified us for the
enormous war expense, our mission will
be done.”

Addition of Copper Sheathing Also
Decided on by the Hoard Having In
Charge the Letting of Contracts For
Craft Authorized by Congress.
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.

which meets this afternoon.
It developed emphatically today, how
ever, that the Populists are master of
the situation aud can dictate terms to
the other two parties to tho tri partite
agreement, which, in all probability,
will be on a basis of giving the lieuten
ant governor to tbe free silver Repub
licans, the attorney general to the Dem
ocrats aud the balance of tho state
ticket to tho Populists.
As to tho head of the ticket, around
which the greatest interest centers,
Governor Holcomb is more frequently
mentioned as a possible compromise
candidate, but it is doubtful if be would
accept with his knowledge of Populist
opiiosition to a third term. A story wo*
started connecting the name of W, J.
Bryan with the gubernatorial uomiua
tion, qut it was quickly denied as ab
surd by delegates who claimed to b<
able to speak for Mr. Bryan.
