STUDYING THE NEXT MOVE
Washington Officials Believe
the End Has Come.
CAPITALIZATION WILL FOLLOW
American Commanders Will Shorty

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-Although as
yet without official confirmation of the
report that the Spanish government
has decided to accept terms laid down
by the United States as essential to
the negotiation of a treaty of peace the
officials here are proceeding under the
conviction that the end has come and
are giving attention to the steps to be
taken next. In view Of the delay in
coming to this conclusion the idea was
beginning to prevail that the Spanish
government was about to enter a plea
in abatement and that the answer
would again be inconclusive. In this
case the president was disposed to
Deal Firmly With tho Issue.
to give notice that our proposals were
withdrawn and to let it be understood
that when Spain again sued for peace
the conditions would be more severe
than those first laid down. If the
Spanish answer should embody an
effort to secure any material change in
the conditions it will meet with prompt
rejection. Should it be an acceptance
negotiations may be necessary to agree
upon steps to be taken to lead to an
agreement. The probable course is a
military capitulation by the captain
generals of Cuba and Porto, Rico,
which will Immediately place the
American military or naval command
ers in technical occupation Of the isl.
ands and enable them to carry out in
their own way and their own time the
embarkation of the Spanish armies in
the islands. ~ ..-...,
