PEACE WITH SPAIN I!
Reported Agreement between Sec
rotary Fish and Minister Polo.

1t is confidently asserted to day by those in a
position 70 know the fact, that Admiral Polo,
the Spanish minister, and Secretary Fish have
certainly agreed on plan of settlement, which
has been forwarded to Madrid by telegraph for
approval, and which will, doubtless, be ap-
proved. 1t includes substantially these points
LIST. The surrender of the Virginius and the
customary salute to the flag; ID That the sur
viving members of the crew must be restored
Sd. Suitable indemnity to be made to families
of those slain.
This looks as if we will have no war with
Spain, except in the contingency of the ina
bility Of the CASTELAR, government to carry out
any treaty obligations 1t may enter into.
SENATOR MORTON
had long interview with Secretary Fish this
morning, at which the Spanish difficulties were
thoroughly d ;scussed. ApropOs of the rumors
flying on the street, il is stated that to-day is
THE LAST DAY OF GRACE,
and that Spain must make reply to the demands
made by our government before twelve O'Clock
tonight. Such statement, at all events, was
sent by the special of New York paper which
at times presumes to speak semi-0ffic ially for
the administration.
