Madrid July 2S.--At the close of the

semi official note was issued:
The French ambassador at Wash

10th. presented. in behalf of the Span
lSh government, a message to Presi-
dent Mckinley, with the view of
bringing the war to an end and max
ing known the conditions of peace.
The government has received informa-
tion that the message has been hand
ed to President Mckinley, who replied
that he would consult with his coun-
Gil of ministers and requested NJ. Cam
bon to come to the White House again
to confer with him.
The Spanish officials declare that the
publised extracts from the note are
incorrect.
The newspapers here consider the peace
terms attributed to President Mckinley
to be acceptable to Spain.
These terms are understood to mean
that no indemnity will be demanded and
that Spanish sovereignty in the Philip
pinse will be respected. The papers, how
ever protest against the continuance of
hostilitieS by the United States, after
Spain has sued for peace.
According to an official dispatch lust re-
ceivcd from San Juan de Porto Rico. the
American forces under Major General
Miles occupy the same positions at Port
Guanica as they did after landing.
Several American warships and trans
ports are reported to be cruising off the

Washington, July 2N.-The terms

tary Day the President having
