Following is an official statement given out by authority of the president on Tuesday as to tho terms of peaco offered by tho United States: "In order to remove any misapprehension in regard to the negotiations at to peace between tho United States and Spain, it is deemed proper to say that the terms offered by the United Status in the note handed to the French ambas sador on Saturday last are in substance aa follows: The president dooa not now put forward any claim for pecuni ary indemnity, but requires relinquish ment of all claim of sovereignty over or title to the island of Cuba, aa woll as evacuation by Spain of the island; cession to the United States and im mediate evacuation of Porto Itico and other Islands under Spanish sovereign ty in the West Indies and like cession ot an island in the Ladrones.

General Merritt has sent notioe to Washington that he was about to com bine with Dewey in a joint demand foi the surrender of Manila, thus forestall ing the insuigents, and this movement may cause a rupture. President McKinley's proposal has reached Madrid, and the Spanish cabi net met Monday to consider and decide upon the reply to be made. The terms offered, it is quite likely, will be ac ceded to immediately. Hostilities in the Antilles in that case will be sus pended at once. The govornor-eeneral of Manila, tole- garphlng to Madrid, says that aid is in dispensable to resist the imminent at tack of the American forces under Gen oral Merritt. The foreign warships in the bay, the dispatch says, answered the salute In honor of the queen'a Baint day, and the American vessels display ed tne American nag. Some of the members of the Spanish conservative party question the utility of preserving the Philippines because of the enormous expensse that a suppres sion of the insurgents would entail.

ENEMY IN CAMP Aguinaldo Has Trouble With Americans at Manila. COMPLICATIONS ARE AHEAD Inaurgent Chief Drunk With the Win of Suoceaa Warned bjr General An deraon II ai Aaamned th Kola of Dictator. London, Aug. 8. A dispatch to the Times from fcavite rsays: It is becom ing more apparent daily that tbero are serious complications ahead. The Americans never made a greater mis take than in bringing Aguinaldo and the insurgont leaders bore giving them arms and ammunition for free use from the Cavite arsenal. Aguinldo, fearing annexation by the Americans, openly opposes them. Hither he has been encouraged by some foreign power, or he has a false notion of the strength of the Philip pine revolutionists, failing to roognize that their rooent successes are due to the concentration of the Spanish strength at Manila, consequent upon the presence of the Americans. Al though he admits no foreign recogni tion, he talks of his government and dictates to the American authorities in absurd and inflated terms. He has compelled the natives of the southern approaches to Manila to register their bullocks and ponies, and instructed the owners not to supply them to the Amer icans for transportation without his sanction. Brigadier-General Anderson prompt ly adopted firm measures, warning Aguinaldo that force would be used to Impress the means of transportation, which were ultimately forthcoming. Aguinaldo's attitude makes future operations against Manila problemati cal. In my opinion, with the aid of the fleet, tho city might have been already American. Nothing but the complications with the natives pre vented an advance. I am convinoed that the FilippinoB will never capture Manila unaided, and if the Americans withdraw, the fate of tbo natlvos under Spanish rule would bo worse than before. Inaane Miner'" Deed.

"Thanking you again, my dear cousin and schoolmate and friend, I am always very sincerely yours, "W. S. SCHLEY." AUGUSTI WILLING. Will Surrender as Soon aa He Can Do So' Honorably. London, Aug. 8. A special to the Daily Mail from Hong Kong, -dated August 1, says: Admiral Dewey has received word from Captain-General AugUBti that he is willing to surrender as soon as he can do bo honorably. It is believed he will only make a show of resistance. Dewey expects to take the city without losing a single man. Should Dewey and Merritt begin the attaok, August! will propose to capitul ate on these terms: The Spanish troops to march out with the honors of war; the soldiers and officials to be permitted to return on parole to Spain, and an assurance to be given that the lives and property of Spanish residents will be proteoted from naval attaok.

The Penn sylvania regiment was lent this morn iug toward Juan Diaz, eight miles north of Ponce, on route to San Juan. Miles says ha has no intention of making a landing of troops at San Juan, especially as tire place is only a road stead, where transports are liable to suffer from prevalent storms. The railroad from Ponce to Yauco is now in possession of our troops. Gen eral Stone found five mines on the track. These were destroyed and the track is uninjured. Our troops found 17 Spaniards in the Yauco hospital, all of whom had been wounded in Tuesday's fight. A proclamation lias been issued by the authorities of Yauco as a United States oity, expressing delight at an nexation and the administration of General Miles and welcoming our troops. The mayor of Ponce has called upon residents of that place to exercise calmness and circumspection under the new and desirable conditions. Miles has issued lengthy orders of instruction to General Wilson, military governor of Ponce province and city, until Genoral Brooke's arrival. It is of the same tenor as the instructions which Miles gave to Shaffer at Santi ago, both orders being based on the administration instructions given to General Merritt regarding the govern ment of the Philippine islands.

He Was Invited to the Flag-Raising at Santiago. Washington, Aug. 2. The war de partment has received the following: Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 2. Secre tary of War, Washington: I have the Sun of Saturday, July 23, in which comments are made as to my treatment of General Garcia. I desire to say that General Garcia was invited by me per sonally to go into the city of Santiago at the time I entered it, but he declined on the ground that the Spanish oivil officers were left in power. It was fully explained to him that those offic ials were continued in power until it was convenient to change them for oth ers. General Garcia's assistance to me has been purely voluntary on his part and he was told at the beginning that 1 did not exercise any control over him, exoept such aa he ohose to give. The trouble with General Garcia was that he expected to be placed in command at this place; in other words, that we would turn the city over to him. I ex plained to bim fully that we were at war with Spain, and that the question of Cuban independence , could not be considered by me. Another grievance was that, finding several thousand men entered the city without opposiiton from General Garcia, I extended my own lines in front of him, and closed up that gap, as I saw that I had to de pend on my own men for the invest ment of the place.

Colonel Rojas himself has the news at second baud. The only American ships known to have been in the vicinity of Neuvitas lately are the Prairie and Badgnr.

Tho Nashivlle reported at Gibara on Tuesday, when she captured the schoon ers Gibara and Expresso. On entering the harbor, she was met by the ex United States consular agent and pres ident of the railroad line to Holguin. He told the Americans of the evacua tion of Gibara two days before by Gen eral Leqne and his 1,800 Spanish troops, who feared a concerted attack by Amer icans and Cubans. They fled to Hol guin by rail, and afterward store up the tracks. General Lequez left in the Gibara hospital 635 sick and wounded Spanish soldiers with a request to Ad miral Sampson to see that they were properly oared for. The next day the Cuban forces, con sisting of 600 cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Rojas, and 200 infantry, made a triumphant entry into the town. They were received with acclamations by the Cubans, and the town held fes tival that day and night. The insurg ents took formal possession, establish ing police system and sent out scouting parties, and when the Nashivlle ar rived, the best of order was being main tained. The invaders had, however, neglected the schooners in the harbor, and the American ships took possession of them. When Ensign Snow left with a prize crew to bring the Gibara here, it had been determined to raise the Amer ioan flag over the town.
