SPANISH - AMERICAN WAR.
THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Press Aa-ojlation—By lolegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, August 1. (Received August 2,1898. at 9.25 a.m.) M. Canibon, the French Ambassador at Washington, is acting as the fully accredited commissioner and envoy on behalf of Spain. He has induced President M'Kinley to modify the terms of peace. The point of modification either extends the date of the armistice or affects the extent of American interests in the Philippines. The American newspapers generally declare that it would be imbecile on the part of America to hand the Philippines back to the barbarous misrule of Spain. (Received August 2, 1898, at 10.50 a.m.) The American Peace Commissioners will probably be General Woodford (who was American Minister at Madrid when war was declared), Mr Richard Olney (the, former Secretary of State), General Benjamin F. Tracey, and Mr G. F. Edmunds.
