DISCUSSING THE PEAGE TERMS

Premier Sapasta and the Queen,

CONSULTING WITH LEADING MEN OF MONARCHIAL PAR- TIES.

Desirous of Ascertaining the Best

Course to Pursue.

New York, Aug 5—A despatch to the World from Madrid says: The explana- tion of its peace terms asked from the gov~

ernment at Washington especially regard~ ing the Philippines is expected tomorrow. If itis received then, Spain’s final answer

to the Uuited States will be made on Sat~

urday. Premier Sagasta and the Queen are cousultiug with the leading men of all

the movarchial parties toeee if any of them can suggest a better course for Spain to pursue than to accept the terms of peace otlered by America. These consu |tations will be finished to night.

Senator Sagasta conferred this afternoon with Marshal Campos and the presidents of the two houses of congress, obtaining asturacce that they will not object in the Cortes to the ratification of peace treaty embracing conditions which they admit are inevitabie under the circumstances. The premier here isto get like assurance fro all the dynastic leaders and generals in the name of their respective parties, but it is not probable that the Carlists or Republicans will make such s pledge.

hea the privcipsl bases of peace are agreed upon, representatives of the two countries will arrange the details of a treaty. When that is done the Cortes wil! assemble to ratify the treaty.

After the cabinet council last last night Lae bviuistess declined to furnish any i.torm mation concerning the despatches received yesterday aud today from abroad. It is rumoured, however, tbat the two govern - ments are sure to Come toan understanding tor the suspension of hostilities this week, as, in reality, the only questions now at is- sue ate unimportant. The Liberals ad- vise the Queen and premier to consult also the leaders of the Radical party, be- cause they bave had no share in or respon- sibility for the shortcomings which cansed the colonial crash. Public senti- meat, @ mejority of the press and

he financiers approve Sagasta’s course, When the government found that the American demunds far exceeded the éxpec’ation in Spain, Premier Sagasta de- term'ned to act promptly and Delsivats both im sending a reply to Washington and in taking the utmost precautions through- oat the kingdom to prevent information ‘esking out until the two governments should come to an understanding. The gevernment has been informed that Don Carlos is preparing to issue a manifesto as #000 a8 it is announced officially that the rezeat and her ministers haye accepted the American terms. Carlos will then, it is said, leave his partisans free to act.

A certain number of seats will be re- served on Thursday, O’Connell’s night, at the Opera House.

AGUINALDO |S BECOMING FRIENDLY

Two Propositions to Gen- eral Merritt

WHICH MAY PROBABLY SOLVE THE INSURGENT PROBLEM.

Tickling the Vanity of Insurgents — Philippine Regiments Suggested.

New York, Aug 6 —A despatch to the World, dated Manila, July 30., via Hong Kong, Aug 4., saye: —‘Aguinaldo, the in- surgent chief, is becoming more friendly to the Americans. He hae made two pro- positions io Gen. Merritt which may solve the insurgent problem in a manner highly advantageous to the United States.

In the first place he asks commander-in~ chief of the American land forces to permit the rebel troops to march through the streets of Manilla when the city sur~ renders.

General Merritt appears ioclined to con- | 9 cleck, (local) Thursday, 11th inst.,

sent tothis. It would gratify the vanity of the natives to let them indulge in what will seem to them a triumphal inarcb as victors through the camp ofthe enemy. They have been besieging since the wiping out of Monetjo’a fleet. At the same time the native troops, beingthus arrayed in line and under direct orders, may be more easily eontrolled and prevented from ex- ceases.

In the second place. Aguinaldo sug- geste the formation of Philippine regiments with American officers. This is consider-~ ed a highly important proposition, a possible key to the whole solution throughout the islands. The native troops would thus be constantly under the eye end jirect orders of ourmen. It is be- lies _« thatthey would be obedient and easily controlled under tactful command~ ers. The American troops now occupy the trenches in front of Malate, a suburb of Manilla, which were constructed by Aguinaldo. The rebels withdrew to let our men take the'r places close t2 the Spanish lines. Fathers Dougherty and

cKinnon, the former being of Gen, Mer- ritt’s staff, have gone to Manila to have an interview with Archbishop Nozaleda, for the arch~diocese of the Phillipines, and to point out that resistance to the Ameri- cans is futile.

Pixsiscire.—The temperance workers of every description are called to the Y M C A Hall, for Friday next, at 8 pm. The work of arranging for the Plebiscite cam~ paigo will be eu. The whole temperance force of the city is invited to meet with the Alliance to consider plans of work. Male and female, Protestant and Catholic, are all invited. Ai.
