NEWS IN LONDON,
Correspondents From Madrid and Glib
raltar Telegraph Newspapers OF
Spain's Acceptance.


LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Daily News says:
"The governments reply to the Amer.
lean peace terms left here Monday
evening. The government believes
that the nature Of the negotiations re-
quire the greatest secrecy and that their
success will depend upon the observ.
ance of the most absolute reserve here.
Official silence therefore is complete"
The Madrid correspondent of The
Standard Telegraphing Tuesday said in
part:
The government reply to the Amer
lean terms was forwarded yesterday
evening through NJ. Cambon and there
is strong prospect that peace will be
concluded. 1t is not to be supposed
that the United States government will
object to representations being made on
the Philippine question and upon some
pecuniary claims which were mooted
by the United States In the West
Indies. On all the remaining main
issues Spain shows q disposition to as
sent to the American demands"
The Rome correspondent of The
Daily Chronicle said:
"Spain, 1t is asserted here, has ac-
CSpVeu Ine AMERICAN Terms WIN unlm-
portant reservations, and the peace
preliminaries will be signed before Sat-
urday."
The Gibraltar correspondent OF The
Daily News, telegraphing Monday
night, said:
"Tne censorship is daily becoming
more severe, and little Is known be-
yond the fact that peace is assured. 1t
is understood that the note from Ameri-
ca asks only part of the Philippines;
and that Senor Sagasta, having replied
that the terms will be accepted, hostih-
ties are consequently suspended.
"a commission will be appointed to
determine the basis of peace. The
chief difficulty, it is asserted in official
circles, is as to the date and manner Of
the evacuation Of the Spanish posses
Bions.
"There is also the question of the dis
posal of the war material in Cuba.
Senior Sagasta, if he has a chance, will
probably represent a restitution Of the
msterial as a diplomstio victory. IL
has just been asserted here that the
premier has succeeded in obtaining
slightly improved terms. The treaty
will not be signed before September. "

Troops should Leave Camp Alger.

WAsnIBsqoN, Aug. 2.-Surgeon Gen.
eral Sternberg has recommended to
Secretary Alger that the troops now at
Camp Alger, Va, near this city, be re-.
moved at an early day to some other
location more healthy than they now
occupy. The increasing number of
typnoid fever cases, which disease has
prevailed there for some time is the
reason assigned by General Sternberg
in making the recomm endation.

the Hub, the Reserves are by no means
certain what will be the next thing
Ever since there began to be talk of the
Reserves being called out it has been
asserted and reasserted to the point of
WEAKNESS that the Reserves were to be
used in the patrol work along the coast.
Perhaps some or all of them may be
assigned to such duty yet, but there are
a large number of men in the battalion
who believe that some of the men at
least will see more active service than
the keeping of mosquitoes from the
coast of New England and warning
fishermen of harbor mine fields. Those
who have passed the mosquito boat
idea of service think that the Reserves
will be drawn upon to fill up the crews
of regular United States ships which
are being constantly depleted from the
hardship of the service and the hot ell
mate in southern waters. The men will
be content, whatever comes, as most of
them are not in love with the fishing
excursion idea of service, which has
been so constantly promulgated that
some have been led to think that the
Reserves would be discontinued should
a harder lot befall them. There will be
no grumbling, come what may, be 1T
patrol duty or regular navy service.
The terms of enlistment as propounded
by Commander Fields before commence
ing recruiting would warrant the gov
eminent in using the men in any SER

ALTERATIONS IN CITY Hall.
Plan to Make Room For Board of Edu'
cation

Plan to Make Room For Board of Edu-
cation.
Preliminary plans have been COM
pleted for the proposed alterations in
the City hall to Accommodate the board
OF education with Offices A committee
OF that board has appeared before the
board of finance and stated that the
present quarters of the board of edu-
cation We're not large enough and that
1t would require more office room very
soon. 1t was found that it would cost
TO rent quarters of the required space
$1,000 per year. Controller Brown then
suggested that with some alteration
the top floor of City hail. now practi-
cally unoccupied could be used for the
purpose. He called attention to the
fact that the $1,000 rental for offices
would equal A per cent. on $4,000, and
1t has been ascertained that the cost
of the alteration in City hall would not
be more than $4,000 or $4,000. The pro-
posed alterations would also furnish
room for other offices for city officials
who at present have no offices in the
City hall. but have almost daily BUSH
ness with the city officials. An .ad-
the saving of rent but also in having
all the offices of the city government
consolidated under one roof.
BY the proposed change in the build
ing, nine good-sized offices and two
fire-proof vaults would be provided.
The plan prepared provides for the
raising of the roof from front to rear
of the building. 1t is proposed to have
the sides raised so that instead Of
slanting up on perfectly straight line
there win be a much less slant, COM
ing to the top where a cupola effect
will be produced from the front of the
building. 1t is also proposed to have
the elevator removed from the front
entrance to the north side between the
stairway, in the same relative position
as is that in the county building. 1t is
proposed to have an attachment under
the passenger elevator which will carry
| freight, safes or supplies for the de-
partment Of education.
The work will not be done at once, but
| it is probable that 1t will be commence
ed before the end of the year,
