of the five negroes and Mrs. Orr and a
warrant for Miss Morris. Itwas charged
that the wife had hired the negroes to
do the murder. Orr's life was insured

Document.

Document.
In the sSSence of an official statement
it is imroscible to give the Spanish
position on the several American condi-
tions. But from the best information
obtainable. in treating each subject
Cuba, Porto Rico, LadYones, Manila
and peace commIssion-an acceptance
in some cases is understood to relate
to conditions somewhat different to
those laid ee~;n by the American gov
erlment. As to Cuba the American
terms demanded tie evacuation If the
island, without specifying the future
form of government. The Spanish reply
is said to accept the principle that
Spanish sovereignty over Cuba will
terminate, but it is understood to take
up the future government of the island,
and because of the extent of Spanish
interests there, is said to take the view
either express or implit td-that the
United States sh 1uid adm mister the af-
fairs of the island. As To the time of
evacuating Cuba, tn is 4 detail which
the Spanish rely is said to regard as
among many which can he left to the
commission fo- final d termination.
The American conditions as to Porto
Rico. the Ladroaes. Manila. etc. ara
believed to be accepted, but the topics
are treated at some length and ii will
requira the full text to show how far
the language used may he construed as
/ an acceptance. The pTovis'ol as to the
| commission is asserted to. TIL comm s.

| meeting place. The Spanish reply is

| the determination Of the future If the
| Philippines but also the details involved
| in the arrangement Of a tasting peace.
| What was the result of Cembons long
