Lonpex, Aug. 1..—The Times, in an editorial on the terms of peace, confines itseif toa discussion of the question, raised ia the Philippines. It says: “ It seems equally difficult for America to take orto leave them. Spain had trouble enough to hold them before the war. She would be still more embarrassed now, and probably would not remain Jovg without tempting offers from some of the powers, which her poverty might impel her to accept. ‘Had America demanded a cession of the Philippines outright, Spain could bardly have avoided yielding. Now she may find in her very weakness the means of softening the other conditions of peace. “For, eince the United States have de- cided thatthe islands are not worth an- nexing, some arrangements must be made with Spain to ensure the reversion of the islands to the United States in the event of Spain failiog to maintain tolerable govern~ mevt. ‘Here are all the elements of 4 bargain which skilful diplomacy might turn to Spaic’s advantage; but the thing must be done quickly and the advantage not pres eed too far.” erae PERSONAL.
