The proposition submitted the
President by the ambassador acting for
the Spanish government wal
general in termes, and was confined to
the one essential point of an earnest
plea that negotiations be opened for
the purpose of terminating the war and
$6
arriving at terms of peace, nor was
there any reference mads to Cuba, the
Philippines, Porto Rico, or other Spas-
ish possessions. The evident purpose
of the Madrid acthorities was to first
earn whether the United States would
treat on the subject of peace, and after
that to take up such terms as the two
parties might saggest
there any suggestion from the Spacish
Rovernment that an armistice be es
tablished pending the peace negotia-
tions. It seemed nevertheless, however,
from the proposition, that formal peace
negotiations be entered upon, that
pending their conclusion a cessation of
hostilities would occur.
