Washington, July 3l.-After a day of
anxious deiiberation and important
consultation, the reply of the United
States government to the Spanish over
ture Of peace was, Saturday afternoon,
at last placed in the hands of NJ Cum
bon. the French ambassador. to be By
him transmitted 10 the government of
Spain. 1t was 4.3o o'clock before the
minister received the answer, and as II
makes about HOO words in ALL and
must be reduced to the diplomatic ci-
phcr and then transmitted by cable.
the Madrid authorities probably did not
receive it until some time today.
At 1890 Saturday morning, the menu
bers of the cabinet began to assemble
at the White House, hut it was nearly
II o'clock before they We're all present
and ready to resume their discussion
at the point where it was interrupted
by adjournment. Secretary Day had

the cabinet, Friday ana it was ex-
be consumed in going over and giving
it formal approval.
It turned out otherwise. however.
Probably over night new factors had
suggested themselves, or fresh infiu-
encc had been brought TO bear, for the
cabinet was soon engaged in an ami
mated discussion of the Philippine
Islands settlement. On the other
points of the answer there was no dis
agreement, and these propositions were
ratified as they stood at adjournment,
Friday, namely: Cuba to be freed;
Porto Rico to he ceded to the United
States; one of the Ladrone Islands,
probably Guam) to be coded to tho
United States as a coaling station; and.
as an immediate step. all Spanish mil
itary forces in the West Indies to be
withdrawn with the formal relinquish-
ment by Spain of her sovereignty over
any possession among these islands.
AS to the Philippines the cabinet
agreed upon the following point:
That Manila Bay. with the city and
surrounding territory. should be retain
ed in the possession of the United
States at least for such a length Of
time as is necessary to devise and put
in operation some plan for the future
government of the entire group. After
that point the main divergence Of opin-
ion began. and all sorts of propositions
were put forward and urged by indi-
vidual members as the best means OF
dealing with the future Of the islands
In the very midst of the discussion the
element that had strongly urged the
necessity of protecting Aguinaldo' in
any settlement we should arrange, re-
ceiVed a severe check through the re-
ceipt of a cableGram from Admiral
Dewey, stating that the insurgent chief
had assumd 4 defiant attitude, and Adj

w dSlltlStFn July IL ne persons
best informed as TO the probabilities
declare that the answer of the Span
ish government; 10 the terms of peace
outlined by the government Of the Uni
ted States is not to be expected. before
Tuesday. THIS opinion is based upon
a knowledge of the time when the Uni
ted States communication was received
in Madrid which was not until an
early hour, this morning. the time re-
quircd 50 decipher it. the time neces-
sary for an extended consideration IF
the matter by the Spanish cabinet ana
also the Time necessary Tor carefully
framing the rejoinder.
1t is not meant by this statement,
To question in any manner the full plen-
ipotentiary powers of NJ. Cambon. the
French ambassador. in dealing with
the subject. On the contrary. they are
in latitude wider than those usually
conferred in such cases. But his posi-
ton is somewhat similar To that of the
President himself. who is obliged to
secure the sanction of the United
States Senate 10 any treaty of peace
that he may prepare. for the ambassa-
dor must submit to the Madrid cabinet
for its approval any agreement that he
may enter into.
ia, L., &. .
ment he is fully authorized 10 proceed
in his discretion ana to guard against
any possibility Of population of his
action. he has been given the minutest
definition az the concessions that will
be made by the Spanish government
on every point that by any possibility
could he expected To arise in the course
of the negotiations.
1t was known 10 our government that
NJ. Cambon hae. such powers when he
appeared, yesterday afternoon, at the
White House 10 receive the American
answer. but at once the President was
satisfied that he was competent to deal
in an authorized manner with our gov
eminent, the production of his creden-
tials was hailed with satisfaction rs
tending to hasten the reaching of an
agreement without loss Of time and in
the most direct manner for technically
the United States is now treating with
Spain without the intervention of any
third party. 1t may be said also that
NJ. Cambon is prOct eding with straight
forwardneSs toward his object and that
there is no fear of devious diplomacy
being introduced into the negotiations.
There is much speculation as to the
nature of the amendment in the an
s,ver of the United States that the am
bassador succeeded in inducing Pres
ident Mckinley to make after the doe
ument had been so carefully construed
by his cabinet. All that can be know
ingly stated is that it relates to that
part Of the answer which deals with
the future of the Philippines.
1t is known that the Spanish efforts
were concentrated upon the retention
of the islands, and the Madrid cabinet
was willing TO make almost any sacri-

MILITARY COMMISSIONERS.
Men Who VIII Dispose of Problems in Cuba
and Porto Rico Agreed Upon-samp-
son and schley Included.

Washington, Aug. 10. The an
nouncement of the personnel of the
military commissions for Cuba and
Porto Rico may now be expected at
any time, The president has prac-
tically determined upon the military
and naval officers who will compose
the commissions. 1t is proba BILE that
the names will be as follows:
Cuban commission-Mai Gen. j. T. Wade.
Maj Gen. NJ C. Butler and Admiral W. T.
Sampson.
Porto Rlcan commission-Mai Gen. John r.
Brooke Mai Gen Theodore Schwan and Ad-
miral Winfield 5, Schley
1t will be noticed that the name of
Fitzhugh Lee does not appear in the
list of the Cuban commissioners. The
omission was not intentional. Gen.
Lee was originally slated for a place
on the commission, but will not serve,
owing to his desire to remain at the
head of his army corps. 1t is expected
that this corps, the Seventh, will
eventually be sent to Cuba, and in
that event Gen. Lee will go to the
island at its head preferring this
position TO a commissionership.
