Last week Hon. j, A. McCullouph.

Last week Hon. ]. A. Mccullough, Il
member OF the House from Greenvile,
loonied up as a possible candidate for
Governor. His little boom did not last
long for early this week it Is stated
that he is prominently mentioned for
Lieutenant Governor. He would stand
u better show for tho first place than
the second. The present cncumbent,
Mr.. McSweeney, will stand for re-
election and it is not probable that he
will be beaten. He has made an accept
able presiding officer and deserves a
second term and we believe will be
given it by tho paoplo of the State. Mr..
Mccullough had better call in his little
boom aud save 1t for more opportune
timo.

Atlantic City Saturday night, did not

Atlantic City Saturday night did mol
leave town was also the basis for an
other guess that he had notice the
Spanish note was coming Immediately
and that his presence would be required
here. AS a matter Of fact, the secretary
was detained beyond his train time by
his reception Of the italian ambassador,
who had long conference over tic
Cerruti case. Altogether, though the
expectation of an early answer is still
cherished, it was the belief Of the Off
Gals when the day closed that there is
now little likelihood Of its receipt by the
president before Tuesday. 1t was ru-
mored in some quarters that the Span
ish government had sent along a no.
tice that 1t had accepted the principal
American terms and would be prepared
to make formal answer Tuesday. but the
French embassy, which would be the
only recipient Of any such notice, gave
very quick and effective denial of this
story.
While all this delay Is deprecated, 1t
is realized that Sagasta probably Is
making the struggle of his life to bring
the Spanish party leaders to the point
where they will agree to stand by him
in his acceptance of the terms of peace.
This fact tends to secure the indulgence
of our government in some degree, and
this is more readily extended in con-
sideration of the fact that so far from
having surrendered any advantage in
agreeing to discuss terms of peace we
are gaining something substantial ev-
cry day in the prosecution of the cam
paign as revealed by the reports from
Porto Rico. The naval plans Of opera
ton are also moving steadily forward,
and, Notwithstanding statements to the
effect that the projected cruise against
the Spanish coast by the eastern squad
ron has been abandoned, Secretary
Long stated that no change had been
made in the plans of the department re-
specting that squadron. Up to this
point not the slightest complaint has
reached the department respecting the
of the Porto Rican cam
paign-a tribute to General Miles abil-
lily. No word has come Of soldiers with
out food or ammunition or Of sick men
without doctors or medicine, nor is the
inward movement of the American
army delayed for lack of artillery owing
to General Miles insistence upon keep
ing his artillery in the very vanguard |
and giving personal attention to the |
,ommissary and quartermaster's de-
oartments.

ceptance of Our Terms,
Washington, Aug S.-Just week ago
ambassador Cambon received from
president Mckinley the terms OF peace
that would be granted by the United
States. When the state department
closed its doors Saturday afternoon. the
Spanish government had not signified
whether or not it was prepared to ac-
cept these conditions. Every day dur
ing the past week an answer has been
expected and that same feeling of ex-
pectancy prevailed at the close of the
week. 1t is significant that all respon-
slble government officials are satisfied
the reply will be an acceptance of our
terms when it does come. About 2:3O
O'Clock Secretary Thiebaut of the
French embassy called at the state de-
partnent, thus giving rise to the sup
position that he was seeking to make
an appointment for the ambassador to
meet the president to deliver the Span
lsh answer. This, however, turned out
TO be erroneous, NJ. Thebaut's bust

QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.

| French embassy in Madrid expect that
| the negotiations will be sufficiently ad-
! Vanced by Sunday next to admit of the
| prompt suspension of hostilities, the
two governments having finally agreed
upon all the main points necessary for
the negotiation of treaty.
The second stage of the negotiations
on account of the Philippines-may be
protracted until September.
The Question of Responsibility.
Premier Sagasta's position seems to
have been much improved by his clever
consultations, having proved that the
opposition leaders had nothing practical
TO suggest In order to continue war OF
to secure better peace terms, the only
two cases in which he was disposed to
retire, as he told the queen.
But the Spanish government is an
noyed because the Madrid press points
out that many of the high personages
consulted by the premier did not con-
ceal that they would prefer to place the
peace negotiations in the hands of a
stronger government, even one taken
from the Liberal ranks, and that the
majority of those personages, outside
of the generals, advocated convokine

in order to ventilate In parliament the
delicate question of responsibility for
the present situation and for the war.
An evidently inspired article printed
in The Imparcial adrotly reasoning
from the Spanish and financial points of
view, urges that all the Cuban debts
should be assumed not by America

The paper skillfully calls the attention

'ltles to suggestion that Spain should
'dVance enough money to pay the inter-
ISL ana the amortization Of the Cuban
lebts only until the Cuban resources are
developed under American
assistance to permit the Cuban republic

The Impartial plainly indicates that
his suggestion might be the basis of
negotiations which the majority of the
'paniards persists in thinking their
government will prolong in order to in

Tho Madrid Government Thinks We
Should Pay Cuban Debt.
London, Aug. 8.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Times says:
SPANS answer will accept all the
American terms except that regarding
the Cuban debt. The government will
fight this point on the ground that in
all other cessions Of territory by one
nation to another the coded territory
has carried with it its own debt or the
proportion belonging to the nation
whence it was coded.
Senior Sagasta in comforting with
politicians and generals follows the ex.
ample of Senior Castelar, in 1873. His
objects are twofold-to divide the re
sponsibility for the decision and Il,
avoid the convocation of the cortes.
1.-THE news from Porto Rico is re-
ceived with great disappointment. The
Spaniards are disgusted with the well
come the natives have given the Ameri-
cans and the news that the volunteers
have thrown down their arms. The
general opinion is that it is not worth
while to risk lives and spend millions
for the sake of territories which are
worse than disloyal to t're mother coun-
try. 1t is assumed that there viii be nc
internal troubles over the evacuation OF

Madrid, Aug. S.-The queen regent has
approved the reply of the Spanish gov
eminent to the United States accepting
the conditions laid down by the latter
under which peace wifi be concluded.
Before approving the reply to the
American conditions Of peace the queen
regent held a consultation with Cen
erals Martinez Campos and Primo de
Rivera, the Duke of Tetuan and Seniors
Silvela Romero Robledo and Sagasta.
At the outset of the conference Senior
Romero Robledo requested the queens
permission to speak his mind plainly,
which was granted.
He then told her majesty that the
peace proposed by the terms of the re-
ply to the American conditions would
be dangerous to the monarchy.
1t is the impression in official quar-
tiers here that hostilities will be sus-
pended next week.
Indeed, it can be stated that the Span
ish government and the members of the
