A Madrid despatch says the Spauish government, some days ago, re- newed its olders to Captain-General Augustlu to hold out to the utmost !o that the suspeu siun of hostilities would liml tho Spaniards in possession of Manila.

The Cuban debt will bo anoth'r bone of contention. Tho compara tivo willingness on tho pait of Spain to yield to tho demands of President McKinley, has taken a sudden change, and a peaceful tormi nation of the war is now doubtful.

OUR PEACE DEMANDS Cuban IiKlonmidciiico Is First Demand. tho 0RT0 RICO MUST BE OURS, Coaling Stations in tho Ladrones, Philippines and Carolines, AUTONOMY FOR THE PHILIPPINES There Will Be No Reference of Any Phase of the Question of the Disposition of the Islands to Any Concert or Individual Action by Outside Powers and Mo Sus pension of Military or Naval Operations Until Spain Agrees to the Terms Pro posed. Washington, July 30. Nearly five hours earnest discussion by the presl dent and his constitutional udvlsers of the nature ot the response to no made by the government to the Spanish over ture for peace brought no conclusion. and the subject necessarily was post poned for further consideration at an other meeting of the cabinet to bp held today. Such was tho formal statement of tho situation made at the conclusion of yesterduy's work by each member of the cabinet who was questioned upon the subject. A llnnl conclusion, how ever. Is much nearer than this stato ment would seem to Indlcute, and In deed there Is little reason to doubt that an agreement has been reached upon all tho substantial points at Issue, and that what remains to bo done Is rather to smooth away Inequalities and adjust some very minor points of difference before making the answer expected by M. Cainbon, which will probably ba given before night. The point under discussion during the greater part of the meeting was what disposition should be made ot the Phil lppines. On the other Issues unanimity developed. There was to be lndepcn dence demanded for Cuba; Porto Hico was to bo ceded to the United States coaling stations were to bo acquired at Guam, In the Ladrone Islands, und one In the Caroline Islands. These proposi tions were disposed of quietly, but when It came to the Philippines some diversity of opinion was revealed. As near as can be gathered this did not relate mainly to the retention of the islands; on that proposition a majority ot the cabinet was speedly recorded In the negative. Hut accepting the broad proposition that Spain was to he allowed to kee these possessions, other questions of Importance developed, and It was felt that these must be answered definitely before the subject could be disposed of. There was no question as to the pro prety of demanding the coaling sta tlon In the Philippines and, while there reasonably might be a difference ot opinion of the location and extent o this station, little ullllculty was ex pected to be encountered In solving that problem, because tho matter could be referred to the naval board, who arc competent to deal with the subject. Tho perplexing problem was what form of government should be Instituted In tho Philippines, and what should be the nature of the guarantee required of Spain that the new government should be liberal and autonomous In char acter. These two questions hinged on the primary decision to Interfere at nil In prescribing a change In the conditions in the Philippines. Some members of the cabinet felt thnt tho Insurgents under Agulualdo having acted Inde pendently of the United States from the very beginning of the Insurrection movement, and having lately shown disposition to make trouble for us, had no moral claim upon the United States In the settlement of the terms of peace. On the other hand It was urged that our government should lose no op portunlty to extend Its principles mrout'noui me worm, ana thru th would be done best In the present case by requiring Spain to extend genuine autonomy to tho Philippines. It was upon Just such points as this that th discussion proceeded all day. A point which was quickly establish ed was that there should be no ret erence of any phase of the question of me uisposmon or me isianus to any concert or dividual action by out siae powers. Aiiomer point that was settled, though there was no formal action on it, was that no protest again s the continuance of military or naval operations pending the pence negotla lions would avail In the slightest; that there would be no armistice, no sus pension of operations nor any modlfl- cation whatever of present plans until tho Spanish government had agreed to the terms proposed. Incident to the cession of Porto Itlco and the recognition of Cubun Indopon dence by Spain was the decision that every vestige ot Spnnlsh government and authority In the Carrlbean and west Indian waters munt bo removed effecting a material acquisition of num erous Islands over which tho Spanish flag files, one of the most Important or wnicn is tno isle of Pines. Further more, this sweeping change of author Ity from Spain to tho United States l our nearby waters Is to bo effective also aa a quit claim of all indebtedness as sumed by the Spanish government and charged by her to those Islands, so far as the United States Is concerned, and all commercial treaties now existing between the Spanish government nnd her possessions there and outside pow era are extinguished. . Some discussion was had as to the probability of Spanish acceptance of our terms. The views differed, though It can be stated that several of- the more Influential members of the cab I net believed that the terms substan tlally agreed on would not be accepted by Spain at once. Others took the ground that there was every Indication that she had decided to make term and that what now proposed would soon bo acceded to to avoid further disaster. It was stated toduy In a high diplo matic quarter In such manner as to five semi-official character to the ex pression that It American control or (supervision of tho Philippines was an liidlnpcnslbtc condition laid down as the basin fur peace negotiations It was practically certain the Spanish gov ernment would not accede to this con dition, but would determine rather to continue Die wnr. Ah to other peace conditions understood to have boon de cided by tho cabinet, those who are best able to judge the disposition of the Spanish government feel that, while the terms are hard, yet that they do not present uny Insurmountable bar rier to the speedy restoration of peace, and whllo there Is no authority for say ing Spain would accept these terms and retire from Cuba and Porto Rico, there la evory Indication thnt she would yield rather than continue a disastrous war. It Is said also that the failure to de mand a money Indemnity will bo ap preciated by the Hi anlsh authorities us an act of noblo generosity by the vic tors, and that this will In part recon- lle the government to a compliance with the other terms laid down.
