WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-There is a confident belief among the administra- ton officials that the Spanish Govern ment will accept the terms laid down by the President and the delay of a day or two in recognizing the inevitable Is to be accounted for by reason of Span ish internal politics, which would not countenance an unresisting submission without at least display of a purpose to improve the terms. This, however, cannot be accomplished and the French Ambassador. who is well aware of the fact, unquestionably has so informed the Spanish Government, though that Government has preserved its record in good form to meet criticism of its po- litical opponents by submitting the counter proposition presented yesterday by M.

 ". l., Aug. D.-Father Janices, who de- ltvered the sermon in New York on the
 occasion Of the Spanish memorial ser vices for CanovGs, defined for the Her
 aid and Call to-day the attitude of the Catholic church in Porto Rico toward the United States.
 ."We are neither towards nor liars"
 said: Father Janices. we do not deny we always have been loyal Spanish sub jects, but it is due to the church to
 save souls and not to mingle in inter- national quarrels. With all our hearts we welcome Americans. Your constitu- ton protects all religions. We ask only
 for the protection of our church The . Archbishop of Porto Rico is now absent and the Nicar-General of San Juan is the acting head of the church in the : island. But we no longer look to him as our ecclesiastical head, and as soon as possible we shall communicate with Cardinal Gibbons and await his wishes . Should any soldier desire the minis trations of a priest" said Father Jan ices. they always shall be at his ser vice. We have determined to become loyal Americans"
 Not once in the course of the inter view did Father Janices refer to Porto Rico as other than irretrievably lost to Spain.
