The pronunciation by tho American

lesson is that it is directly for the in
terest of our manufacturers and ex
porters that Oriental countries snail
Lccomo civilized. The more civilized

they will buy, and the greater the
t number and diversity of products
they will require.
We cannot, of course, iu this war
afford to imitate at any point the con
duct which lias for three centuries
made tho name of Spaniard the syno
nym for brutal ferocity, comments the
2iew York Press. But wo should re
member that we are fighting more
treacherous and savage foes' than our
troops have met among the aborigines
of Arizona, and that, unlike those un
tutored warriors, they are armed with
tho glib cant of remonstrance and
justification, which they have bor
rowed the only thing that they have
borrowed from their neighbors, the
xcally civilized nations of Western Eu
rope. It is all ethnical, we presume,
tho fruit of the one successful iuva-
eion of Europe from Africa, and the
lingering there of this blood taint of
the cruelty of de3ert tribes. But
there it is and it ia to be reckoned

' Public excitement over the war has
diverted attention from the course of
foreign trade, which is iu some re
gpects strikingly different from any-
thing hitherto experienced by us in
our dealings with other countries.
For the first ten months of tho pres
ent fiscal year the exports of mer
chandise have reached the value of
$1,025,420,681, while the imports for
the same period only foot up $511,181,-
18G. In addition to the merchandise
exports, we shipped silver to the value
of $19,620,803. This leaves au ap
parent balance in our favor of $333,-
8GG,298, against which, up to April
30th, gold to the amount of $89,220,
C98 was remitted. This would leave
a balance of $144,645,000 to be ac
counted for, $250,000,000 of which
was probably required to meet inter
est charges on American debt held by
foreigners, freights, travelers' ex

THE FOUK HASES OF OUIt PltO POSITION LAID
DOWX WEIIE NOT
The President Did Not Modify
Least, and tho Acceptance l)y Spain Wa3 Necessarily
On That IJasis-Ofiiclal Notification Awaited.
A Madrid special of Hunday says:
Tho cabinet council terminated after
having completely approved the reply
to the United States, which, it is said,
accepts tho American conditions.
The reply will be telegraphed to
Senor Leou y Castillo, tho Spanish
ambassador to France, so that M.
Cambon, the French ambassador at
Washington will rcceivo it immedi
ately. The government is fully convinced
that tho note will bo satisfactory to
tho Washington government, and that
a suspension of hostilities will be its
immediate consequences.
Ihe queen regent has approver the
reply accepting the conditions laid
down by the Uuited States.
1 rom a well-informed source it is
learned that while the answer to the
United States' terms does not dis
cuss the four bases which the United
States makes an essential preliminary
to peace, and which Spain accepts
without reservation, it points out
that in order to avoid the definitive
negotiations being in any way compli
cated by incidents of the war, it is ex
pedient to agree beforehand to a sus
pension of hostilities.
It is reported that Duke Almodovar
de Kio, the minister of foreign affairs,
and Monsignor Merry del Val, Span
ish ambassador to tho vactican, will bo
selected to represent Spain in the
negotiations.
The newspapers make no comments
on the situation owing to the strictness
of the censorship.
Senor Sagasta has submitted the an
swer to the queen regent and her ma
jesty approves the general lines, which
the premier fully explained to her.
. The government believes that the
United States will accept Spain's an
swer, and as a consequence hostilities
will immediately afterwards be sus
pended. As the reply to the American terms
was only submitted to the queen regent
Saturday, all the reports of her pre
vious approval of the American de
mands were necessarily without found
ation. Contents of the Note.
According to the most reliable
sources of information the Spanish
note is couched in dignified language.
It asserts that Spain bows to the force
of circumstances, having done nothing
to provoke the war, into which she
has been unwillingly led in the de
fense of her rights and territory,
It expresses a willingness to appoint
delegates to meet the American com
missioners to discuss a regime for the
Philippines.
It is understood that both Senor
Sagasta and Duke Almodovar de Bio,
the foreign minister, the queen regent
that they felt deeply the painful duty
circumstances imposed upon them.
News From Wanhlngton.
A Washington special of Sunday
says: Although as yet without official
confirmation of the report from Pam
that the Spanish government has de
cided to accept the terms laid down
by tho United States as essential to
tho negotiations of a treaty of peace,
CUBANS FILE CLAIMS.
They Want, Unltod States to Pay Damage
Inflicted By Spaniard.
The announcement that the United
States government will assume liability
for the claims of the insurgents against
the Spanish government on account of
injuries and damages sustained in the
Cuban insurrection has caused tho
filing of a large number of claims with
the state department.
Very many of these are not based
upon events occurring during tho last
rebellion, but date back for many
years and relate to excessive custom
collections, damages sustained through
municipal maladministration, alleged
illegal confinement and such things.

Tho president did not modify tho

tho acceptance by Spain must be on

the terms being officially stated by
President McKinley:
"The president does not now put
forward any claim for pecuniary in
demnity, but requires the relinquish
ment of all claims of sovereignty over
or title to tho island of Cuba, as well
the immediate evacuation by Spain of
the island; tho cession to tho United
States and immediate evacuation of

in the Ladrones. The United States
will occupy aud hold the city, bay and
harbor of Manila, pending the conclu
sion of a treaty of peace which shall
determine the control, disposition and
government of the Phillipines."
Some reference has been mado in
the dispatches of British newspapers
to a desire on the part of the Spanish
government to include in the prelim
inary agreement a clause exempting it
from liability from the Cuban debt.
The formal statement of the point9
of the United States note given out
from the white house made no refer
ence to this subject and it cannot be
known as yet whether or not the full
text shows anything more. But pre
suming that no reference whatever is
made to the Cuban debt it is possible
the subject may be regarded as one
that should be treated by tho peace
commissioners who are to meet later
to frame the treaty, which, of course,
will embody many details that lire left
untouched in the main proposition,
though cabinet officers have authorized
the statement that no part of the
Cuban or Torto Eican debts would ba
assumed by the United States.

I who should render thauks, which I

"It would be gratifying to me to
accept your invitation to visit Greens

tenant Richmond Pearson Ilobson.but
it will be impossible for me to do so,
for as soon as the war is ended, it will
be obligatory up'on mo to return im
mediately to Spain to account for my
conduct, which must bo judged as pro
vided for by the law. Nevertheless, I
shall not fail to carry through nil my

the flattering invitation tendered me
