THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.
THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS THE ADVANCE ON SAN JUAN. Pres3 Association— By Telegraph—Copyright. Washikgtov, August 1. M. Cambon, 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 o* America to hand the Philippines back to the barbarous misrule of Spain. The American Peace Commissioner.s will probably be General Woodford (who was American Minister at Madrid when the war was declare), Mr Richard Olnev (the former Secretary- of.State), General Benjamin F. Tracey, and Mr G. F. Edmunds. The Porto Ricans welcomed the arrival of the American expedition, and 2000 of them ; volunteered to serve in the American army. ' General Miles is advancing on San Juan, and is meeting with scarcely any opposition.
