THE SITUATION
is CLEARING UP
Spaniards IndispOsed to PrOlOng the
Negotiations Since Becoming Con-
vinced that No Outside Aid Can
Be Expected.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1O.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
From a dispatch received from Chair
man Day, the authorities are still of the
opinion that the work of the peace com.
mission will be completed by the time
congress meets. Mr.. Day takes quite
an optomistic view of the situation. 1t
is his desire to limit the time of discus
sion of the various points raised as much
as possible, in order that the negotia-
tions may reach an early conclusion.
Information which has been received
here, shows conclusively that Spain has
no further hope of foreign intervention,
and this fact leads the authorities to the
belief that she will not attempt to drag
the negotiations out as long as she would
if she thought there was a chance of any
European government attempting to Sc
cure modification of the American
terms.
The United States may submit a Dip
lomatic protest to spain through the
French government against its action
in sending Spanish auxiliary cruiser
loaded with arms and ammunition to
the Philippines. In any event, the mat
ter is under consideration, and it is be-
lieved has been called to the attention

WHOLE REPORT
is FARCIAL
Secretary Will Be Called Upon to Fur
nish a Complete Report-Matter
of Locating Of Army Camps Barely
Touched Upon in Report.

New York, Oct. 10.-A dispatch to
the herald from Washington says:
Secretary Alger has cent an answer to
the war Investigating committee, which,
in the words of one of the commissioners
"does not answer"
''In the first place." said this commits
sioner, ''we asked who had been inhu-
ential in selecting the camp sites. The
only answer vouchsafed is that General
Lee selected the camp at Jacksonville. I
do not think that any other camp is
mentioned. But this omission will, no
doubt. be remedied in the supplement-
al report for which we will call upon the
secretary"
Secretary Alger's report includes 5000
words, and in addition to the Jackson
vile camp matter, covers only these
points, The selection of Tampa as a
point of embarkation; Rear-Admiral
SIMPSONS dispatch; the cause of has
tening troops to Santiago; Commodore
Remey'e dispatch; the cause of the
subsequent delay of the troops. Discus
cussion of these points exhausts the re-
port. No attempt seems to have been
made to explain the cause of the
hardships suffered by the soldiers in
Tampa. The matter is brushed aside
with apparent contempt in the relation
that Tampa was considered a good loca-
ton and the most convenient place oi
em barkation.
Secretary Alger will be asked for q
more complete answer.
| The program of the commission fol
this week is to have no witnesses ex-
cept those who may be caught passing
through Washington. The time will be
spent in reading the voluminous report
of the adjutant-general, then the report
of Surgeon-General Stern berg, and then
the reports of other heads of depart.
ments.
Members of the commission expect tc
leave for a tour of the camps a week
from Monday. They go fret to camp
Meade before it breaks up. They will
go to Jacksonville, where Colonel Bryan
will be one of the principal witnesses
The tour of the camps, it is thought,w
consume about two weeks. The COM
mission will return to Washington anG
later go to New York city.
In New York two prominent witnesses
will be called-Colonel Theodore Roos-
