Outline of the Answer.

London, Aug. S.-The. Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail telegraph

Spanish government declares that
Spain cannot discuss the American
proposals but only accepts them be-
cause they are imposed on her by force.
Only few uncssential changes in the
American demands were asked for and
it is not expected that President Nc
Kinley will refuse them. A commits
sion composed of Spaniards and Amer
leans will decide the question of the
Cuban debt. the dates and manner of
evacuating Cuba and Puerto Rico and
the protection of Spaniards and Span
ish interests in these places, The COM
missioners will also decide whether
Spain is to be allowed to withdraw her
artillery and the remainder If her
arms and ammunition from the col
on;es, while the question of the future
of the Philippines will be settled by
the same body. Treaty will be signed
subject to approval by the certes,
