A Direct Appeal Made to
President McKinley.
PRESENTED BY M. 0AMB0N.
Tho French Ambassador Acts for
tho Spanish Government.
SPAIN MAKES NO DIRECT OFfER.
The Only Apparent Desire of the Don Is to
Bring About a Cessation of Hostilities,
and It Seems Likely That Our Govern
ment Will Refuse to Stop Our Succession
of Victories Unless the Enemy Offers
Material Concessions.
Washington, July 27. The Spanish
government has sued for peace, not In
directly, through the great powers of
Europe, but by a direct appeal to Presi
dent McKinley. The proposition was
formally submitted to tho president at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the
French nmlmsndor, M. Jules Cambon,
who had received instructions from
the foreign ofllco at I'aris to deliver to
tho United States government the ten
der of peace formulated by the Span
ish ministry. At tho conclusion of the
conference between tho president and
the French ambasador the following
official statement was issued from the
White) House:
"Tho T'l'c-ni'h Anilui-.--ailor, on lo
hull' of tho Kovoriiiiiciit of Simla, mill
by direction of tlio Spanish Minister
of Torc-luti AtVnlrH, prr-unti'M to tho
proxliloitt tills iiftornooii ut tho White)
House, ii nu'HHimo from tlio Spiuilsh
(rovoriiiuoiit loouluc to tlio torniliui-
Uou of tho win' anil u MJttlomotit of
tonus of poui'o."
This was tho only official statement
made public, but it sufficed to put
at rest all conjectures, and to make
clear and definite that at last Spain
had tnlten tho initiative toward peace.
Although peaco rumors havo been cur
rent almost dally heretofore sinro tho
wnr began, not ono of them had the
shadow of foundation, and until tho
French ambassador received instruc
tions from Paris late Monday night no
overtures of any kind hud been re
ceived. Shortly before Monday mid
night a dispatch to the French em
bassy made It known to tho embassy
that tho ambassador would bo charged
with tho important mission of opening
peaco negotiations in behalf of Spain.
The complete instructions, including
an official letter from Duke Almadovor
Ulo, Spanish minister of foroign af
fairs, was received yesterday.
Tho proposition submitted by the
ambassador, acting for tho Spanish
AMBASSADOR CAMBON.
Government, wns quite general in
terms, and was confined to tho ono and
essential point of an earnest plea that
negotiations bo opened for tho purpose
of terminating tho war and arriving at
terms of peaco. Tho communication of
tho Spanish government did not sug
gest any specific terms of peaco, nor
was thero any reference made to Cuba,
tho Philippines, Porto Hlco or oUicr
Spanish possessions. Tho evident pur
pose of tho Madrid authorities was to
first learn whether tho United States
would treat on tho subject of peace,
anil after that to take up such terms
as tho two parties might suggest.
Neither was thore any suggestion from
tho Spanish government that an arm
istice bo established pending the peaco
negotiations. It seemed natural, how
over, from tho proposition that formal
peaco negotiations bo entered upon,
that pending their conclusion nccssa
tlon of hostilities would occur.
Owing to the importance of tho com
munication the ambassador adopted
tho usual diplomatic proceeduro of
reading tho communication from tho
original, in French, tlio translation be
ing submitted by M. Thlebaut. In the
conversation which followed tho read
ing of tho proposition neither the pres
ident nor tho ambassador entered upon
tho question of tho terms of peace. The
instructions of tho ambassador had
confined him to the ono ossontlal point
of opening peaco negotiations, and It
was evident that tho president desired
to consider the proposition beforo giv
ing any doflnito reply. It was finally de
termined that tho president would con
sult tho mombers of the cabinet con
cerning tho proposition, and after n
decision had been arrived at M, Cam
lion would then bo invited to tlio Wliito
House for further conferonco and for a
final answer from Hip United States
government, llefore the call closed, a
brief official nn'morandum was agreed
upon In order to set at rest misleading
conjecture and to givo to the public
Information on a subject which had ad
vanced beyond tho point where diplo
matic reserve was essential.
Naturally the plea of Spain to open
peaco negotiations opens up a wide
field of conjecture on what the terms
of peaco will be. Thus far thero Is no
official warrant for saying what terms
Spain will propose, or what terms the
United States will offer or accept. So
far as this country is concerned It Is
tho general Impression that the com
plete Spanish evacuation of Cuba and
Porto Hlco will bo insisted upon as a
sine qunnon. There is not tho same
certainty as to tho Philippines, La
drones and Carolines, although the bo
lief is growing that tho terms of tho
United States will Includo coaling
stations In those groups.
On tho part of Spain it Is believed
that she now had reached such n reali
zation of her misfortune that she will
readily consent to terms for the evacu
ation of Cuba, and probably Porto
Hlco. The Spanish doslro Is apparently
very strong for tho retention of the
Philippines, nlthouBh there Is little
doubt that coaling stations thore and
at other points would bo conceded.
Tho matter of war Indemnity is for
future consideration, although thero
does not appear to bo a disposition
among tho officials here to pile up u
heavy war Indemnity against Spain In
hor present helpless condition.
During the lato afternoon and even
ing tho president conferred with most
of the members of tho cabinet, and the
Spanish proposition was thoroughly
canvassed. Secretaries Day, Alger and
Long were at tho, Whlto IIouso during
tho afternoon, and In tlio evening the
president was Joined by Secretaries
Dliss and Wilson and Postmaster Gen
eral Smith. Thero was no cabinet meet
ing in tho ordinary sense, but tlicso
talks with Individual members served
about the same purpose as a formal
meeting. It was understood the presl
dent would bo prepared to give an
answer beforo tho next regular cabi
net day, tomorrow. No intimation came
from any official source as to the nrob
able character of x tho answer. There
were strong intimations, however, that
there would bo no acceptance which
would Imply the stopping of the war
when the American arms wore adding
victories on victories, and the em
barking on a vague diplomatic ne
gotiation. It was felt that this govern
ment had everything- to lose in a sub
tle game of diplomacy, in which tho
only certain element would be inaction
of our army and navy. For this reason
thero was a disposition In official
quarters to know what terms were in
sight before entering upon general ne
gotiations. A prominent administration official
said after talking with cabinet officers
that in his opinion tho situation was
not materially changed by tho Span
ish proposition, and that tho war
would ho pressed with unabated vigor
until something more tangible In the
way of peaco terms was at hand. In
case tho peace negotiations aro opened,
tho means by which thoy will be car
ried on nre not determined, nor havo
they been officially considered. It Is
understood, however, that one means
likely to bo proposed Is to authorize
direct negotiations between Spain and
tills country, Spain being represented
by Senor Leon Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador at Paris, and tho Unted
States by General Horace Porter, our
ambassador to France.
