Hut care la taken to explain that Spain gives way to the force of events, n train as serting that she hud neither sought nor done anything to provoke the war, Into which ahe was driven by the ctm duct of America. The President and hla Cabinet have decided that the United States shall not assume any part of the Cuban debt, and will not permit the Republic of Cuba to assume any of It. Spain can. of course, bring the matter before thBj Peace Commission, but the rep resentatives of the United States will "be Instructed to oppose any plan to aaddle the debt upon thla country or the new Republic. Of the $550,000,000 Indebtedness for which Cuba Is given as security, all la held In Spnin but $20,000,000, In the hands of Frenc h syndicates. The President haa acted on the as sumption that the money was con tracted for by Spain to carry on the war In Cuba and against the United States, and that. In consequence, thla Government should not be expected to pay any part of It. The portion of It expended In Improving Cuba, the Pres ident believes, has been repaid by the oppressive taxation which Spain haa levied on the residents of Cuba. American speculators who have pur chased Spanish bonds at 2ft cents on the dollar are endeavoring to persuade the administration to take up their cause?. Ex-Presldcnt Benjamin Harrison niTd ex-Senator George F. Kdinunda, of Vermont, have declined to act as Peace Commissioners for the United States. Senator Cushman K.

Major Morrison, Judge advocate general of the army, summarizes na follow, the steps likely to be taken In peace negotiations between the United States and Spain: First The President and the govern ment at Madrid will agree upon an armistice for the cessation of hostili ties. Second This agreement to suspend war pending the drafting of the treaty will be communicated by both govern ments to their armies In the Held aa speedily as possible. Third Until commanding generals re officially notified they will proceed according to their orders. Fourth The United Stntea can con tinue to Bend troops to Porto Rico or Santiago. An armistice terminates aggrerslve warfareft but It doea not rrevent either party sending troops to the territory already occupied by Ha armies. Fifth The blockade at Havana need not necessarily be raised. Sixth As to Manila, the terma pre pedent require that the United States occupy the city and bay and the ar mistice will be followed at once by an order from Madrid to allow General Merrltf troopa to occupy the city.

The war department points out that Shafter'a army as a whole cannot be withdrawn from Santiago until the Spanish prisoners are disposed of. Otherwise, there Is no certainty that, finding themselves able to do ao, the Spaniards would not overpower their captors, repossess themselves of San tiago and thus lose to the American tho small foothold In Cuba which It has cost so much blood and money to secure. It Is, however, the expectation that all the American troops will have bee removed from Suntlugo to the United States by the end of this month, and that Is probably the very best that can be done under the cir cumstances. Theodore Roosevelt of the Rough Riders has addressed a communication to Gen. Shafter urging the removal of the troops from Santiago, To keep the troops there, he argues, would Involve the destruction of thousands of sol diers. He declares that In hi division the men are so weakened by malarial fevers, that they are all ripe for dying like rotten sheep when a real yellow fever epidemic sets In. After Col.
