VIII BE Presented To-day.
Madrid Oct. 12.-It is semi-officlally an
nounced that the reply of Spain to the
note presented by the United States min
lister, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford. has been
drafted by the minister of foreign affairs,
Senor Gullon, and will be submitted to
the cabinet at its meeting tomorrow.
The reply it is stated, will say that
Spain is unable to fix exactly the date
when the war will be over; but the min
listers are persuaded it will not be long,
because ''the situation of the rebels is
critical, and the efforts of the Spanish
troops are sure of success. Owing to the
rebel situation and the concession of au-
tonOmy, administrative and economic,
which will be effective before January, the
government hopes actual hosuliues viii
finish shortly"
Spain, it continues, thinks the reforms
and the activity of the Spanish troops are
sufficient elements to secure the imme-
diate pacification of the island, which, it
is asserted, would have been more rapid
if the rebels had not had the succor of
filibusters, whGa under the shelter of the
American flag, haye contributed to main
tain this state ofsaffaiIs''
The government has decided that Gen.
Primo de Rieviera is to retain command
in the Philippine Islands, in order that
he may initiate the proposed reforms and
reorganize that colony.

situation now confronting the people of
Texas is the almost complete blockading
