TOO QUICK FOR THE KODAKER.

There was an alarm Of fire yesterday
afternoon, and among the companies
which responded was the Phoenix. 1t
was rumored that Bancrofts mills
were on fire, but the alarm proved to
be false one, and the Phoenix boys
learned it when they reached Gilpin
avenue and DUPONT streets. While the
Wayfarer was standing there admiring
the magnificent fire-fghting outfit,
Speakman's delivery wagon drove up In,
it were two young men, one Of them
a son Of Mr.. Speakman, and the other
one a friend of his, but a stranger to
the Wayfarer.
The escaping steam from the safety
valve of the fire engine made all horses
in the neighborhood frisky-even those
attached to the steamer
The delivery wagon stopped and the
strange young man got out. In one
hand he held a tripod and in the other
camera. Setting up his tripod in the
middle of the street he was just about
to place his camera thereon and snap
the engine and horses when the Phoe-
nix boys wheeled the animals and sent
them dashing in Gilpin avenue, leai-
ing the astounded and disappointed

surd proposals.
LAS to the context OF Spain's reply the
oracles differ. Some say II contains no
contentious matter, accepts simply in
principle the four demands of President
McKinleys first communications and
suggests an immediate suspension OF
hostilities. On the other hand, others
affirm that 1t is prefaced by an account
of the origin Of the war, tending TO prove
that, as Spain was in no sense the agrees
sor, she ought not to be expected to pay
a war indemnity either in money or
territory.
Though the king, according to the
constitution, has the right to declare war
and make peace, any cession OF nationai
territory requires the sanction OF the
cortes, and any minister consenting to
such cession without this sanction Is
liable, according TO the penal code, to
Imprisonment for life. 1t will be neces-
cary therefore to convoke the cortes
sometime before the treaty of peace Is
ratified, but the government has not yet
decided at what stage of the proceedings

served. In some well-informed quarters
doubts are expressed as to whether the

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

Chickamauga Military Park. Aug. B.
The Improvement of the sanitary con-
dition of the regimental camps Is the one
absorbing matter at the park. Definite
plans will have been formulated within
a day or two. after which time the man
agement of the camp will be under new
and very rigid regulations as regards
the disposition of garbage and refuse
matter and the preparation and serving
OF food. All drinking water will be
boiled. and the regulation is one which
will not be deviated from in kre future.
Another condition. II is hopeH to bring
about as early az possible, Is that OF hav-
ing the tents of the men provided with
board floors.
With the still further purpose of add
ing to the health conditions. practice
marches are being arranged. Thursday
the engineer officers OF all the divisions
will go out to locate the most practical
routes for these marches. and the regi-
ments will be sent later by brigades In
heavy marching order for n four days
absence from the park.

ACCEPTS UNDER pUREss.

London. Aug. s.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Mail says: THE
answer Of the Spanish government de-
clares that Spain cannot discuss the
American proposals, but only accepts
them because they are imposed on her
by force. Only a few unessential
changes in the American demands were
asked for and It is not expected that
President Mckinley will refuse them.
"A commission composed OF Spaniards
and Americans will decide the questions
of the Cuban debt. the dates and man
ner of cvacuating Cuba and Porto Rico
and the protection Of Spaniards and
Spanish interests in these places. The
commissioners will also decide whether
Spain is to be allowed to withdraw her
artillery and the remainder of her arms
and ammunition from the colonies. while
the question of the future Of the Philip
pines will be settled by the same body.

approval by the cortes. which will be
convoked Immediately"

CAMP ALGERs SICK.

Washington, Aug. s-Secretary Aiger
visited Fort Myer yesterday afternoon
with a view OF ascertaining whether
everything possible was being done for
the soldiers OF Camp Alger who were
In the hospital at the fort. He found
the sick men as comfortable as could be
expected under the circumstances.
Each one has a good bed. and all are
receiving medical attention and nurs-
Ing. At. present there are about 375
men In the hospital. Some OF them are
seriously iii. and a few are not expected
to recover. Thus far the fatalities
among the troops have numbered 80.
This Is not considered great loss in an
army OF nearly $4,000 men during the
three months the men have been in the
service. The army authorities deplore
the death of every one OF the 80 whose
lives have gone out, but some losses are
to be expected In an army so large as

HARD NUT TO CRACK.

London. Aug. 8.-The Times says edi-
torialiy this morning: 1T Is hard nut
the negotiators have to crack regarding
Cuba. The Americans cannot garrison
the island. and 1t would be rather alb
surd to be compelled to ask the Span
ish troops to remain TO keep order there.
There is such thing as victory so COM
plete and easy as TO be more embarrass-
ing than a struggle upon something like
equal terms. Had the Spanish army In
Cuba been beaten in the field the situa-
ton would have been much less compli-
Gated. as the administration OF the ISL
and would simply be taken over by the
victorious army.
The American war office is the sub
feet of severe criticism from men OF all
parties, and Secretary Aiger. as our New
York correspondent caustically observes,
is regarded seriously as candidate for
retirement into private life. There un-
doubtedly has been most serious mis-

Madrid. Aug. s.-The cabinet has COM
pletely approved the reply to the United
States. which. 1t Is said. accepts the
American conditions. The reply was
teiegraphcd TO Mr. Castillo. the Spanish
ambassador to France. SO that Mr. Cam
bon, the French ambassador In Wash
ington. might receive II today. The
government Is fully convinced that the
note will be satisfactory to the WASH
ington government. and that suspen-
sion of hostilities will be its immediate
consequence.
According to the most reliable sources
of information the Spanish note is
couched In dignifed language. 1t as
serts that Spain bows to the force of
circumstances. into which she has been
unwillingly led in the defense of her
rights and territories. 1t expresses a
willingness to appoint delegates to meet
the American commissioners to discuss
q regime for the Philippines.
1t is understood that both Sagasta and
Duke Almodavor. the foreign minister
told the queen regent that they felt
deeply the painful duty circumstances
imposed upon them.
Apparently the public is little con-
cerned about the progress Of the peace
negotiations. There were bull fights as
usual Sunday. and the customary
amusements proceeded with the wonted
gayety.
The Imparcial admits that the United
States cannot be asked to assume the
burden OF about 232 600. 900 of debt ex-
listing when the rebellion began In 1895
and the Es0.000. 900 spent since. and II
suggests that Spain should undertake
to pay interest and redemption on the
Cuban debt until the new West Indian
7, republic Is in position to do so. which
the paper affects to believe that Cuba
could soon do when its vast resources
were developed under an American
protectorate. The same paper goes on
60 say that Spanish finances will be very
seriously compromised and the interests
Of Spanish and foreign holders OF Cuban
stock also IL the United States does
nothing for the Cuban debt. The Mad
rid press insists that this matter will
yet be mooted In the negotiations.
- The papers comment on Sagastas
astuteness in consulting the political
leaders. This act has greatly strength
ened his position because nearly all ap-
prove his policy. and none had any
feasible plan to propose for prolonging
the war or getting better peace terms.
The comments on the conditions OF peace
are very reserved. If the United States
insists upon an immediate evacuation
of the Antilles, the cortes will be con-
vened forthwith.
