DELAY IN TRANSPORTING
 THE SPANISH PRISONERS

NEW YORK, Aug. GA Washington special to the Herald says: One req son why the Spanish transports are not yet ready to take on prisoners for Spain is that one of them, the Ali cante from Martinique, got crippled on the way; two others had on contraband of war and there was difficulty in get ting a landing. This was the explana- tion given me this afternoon by an of ficiaI in charge at the War Department. Seven Spanish transports should have been at Santiago in readiness to take the prisoners. None are there. Mean while General Shafter's army has been kept waiting as he was not willing to leave the prisoners. On the lowest basis the delay of the transports be- sides having detained the army is costing the Government nearly $10000 a day

CANNOT VISIT THE
 HOME OF ROBSON
Admiral Cervera Says He Must Re- turn to Spain Immediately the
 War Is Over.

MOBILE, Aug. 6.--In reponse to an invitation extended in the name of the people of Greensboro, Ala, to visit Lieutenant Hobson's home, Admiral Cervera writes under date of August 2, saying:
 T thank you very much, and also the citizens of Greensboro, for the kind ex- pressions contained in your letter, and you will allow me to say that 1t is l who should render thanks (which l do with the greatest pleasure) for the kind and generous treatment which l am re- ceiving at the hands of the American people, and it would be gratifying to me to accept your invitation to visit Greensboro, where was born the brave Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, but it would be impossible for me to do so, for as soon as the war Is ended 1t will be obligatory upon me to return immediately to Spain to account for my conduct, which must be judged as pro- vided for by the law. Nevertheless, I shall not fail to carry through all life the remembrance of such brave officers as Lieutenant Hobson, and also the flattering invitation rendered me by the city of his birth.

note to Spain, with one or two minor changes.
SPAIN'S REPLY HAS
 NOT YET BEEN RECEIVED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Just a week ago to-day Ambassador Cambon re- ceived from the President the terms or peace that would be granted by the United States. When the State Depart ment closed it's doors this afternoon the Spanish Government had not signi- fled whether or not it was prepared to accept these conditions. Every day during the past week an answer has been expected, and that same feeling of expectancy prevailed at the close of the week. It is significant that all re- sponsibIe Government officials are sat- isfied the reply will be an acceptance of our terms when it does come.
 About 2:30 o'clock Secretary Thiebault of the French Embassy called at the State Department, thus giving rise to the supposition that he was seeking to make an appointment for the EmbaSsa- dor to meet the President to deliver the Spanish answer. This, however, turned out to be erroneous. M. Thie- baGltS business being connected with some of the recent seizures of French merchant vessels by the bfockading fleet and relating in no way to the Spanish peace negotiations. The fact that Secretary Day, who had contem- plated trip to Atlantic City this after noon, did not leave town, was also the basis for another guess that he had mo- tice the Spanish note was coming lm- mediately and that his presence would be required here. AS matter of fact, the Secretary was detained beyond his train time by his reception of the Ital- ian Ambassador. who had long con ference over the Cerruti case.
 Altogether, though the expectation Of an early answer is still cherished, 1t was the belief of the officials, when the day closed, that there was little likelihood of its receipt by the Presi- dent before Monday. It was rumored in some quarters that the Spanish Gov ernment had sent along a notice that it had accepted the principal American terms and would be prepared to make formal answer Monday, but the French Embassy, which would be the only re- cipient of any such notice, gave very quick and effective denial of this story.
 While all this delay is deprecated, it is realized that Sagasta probably Is making the struggle of his life to bring the Spanish party leaders to the point where they will agree to stand by him in his acceptance of the terms of peace. This fact tends to secure the Ind H. gence of our Government in some ce- gree and this is more readily extended in consideration of the fact that so far from having surrendered any advan> tage in agreeing to discuss terms of peace, we are gaining something srb- stantial every day in the prosecution of the campaign as revealed by the e. ports from Porto Rico. The naval plans of operations are also moving steadily forward, and notwithstanding state ments to the effect that the projected cruise against the Spanish coast by the Eastern squadron has been abandoned Secretary Long stated this afternoon that no change had been made in the plan of the department respecting that Snuadron.

ALGER DEFENDS THE
 SEVENTY-FIRST NEW YORK
Him That There Were Extenu- ating Circumstances.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6-Secretary Alger states that the information reaching him shows that there were ex- tenuating circumstances in the case of p.1ose troops of the Seventy first New York Regiment, accused in General Rents report of not advancing promptly to the attack on Santiago.
 Men returning from Santiago have told the Secretary that the irregularity occurred amid the noise and confusion of the opening of the engagement, when the enemy were directing a heavy fire against this point of our lines, where a number of our troops carried black powder guns instead of the more serv- icable Krag-J Jorgensens
 While the Secretary does not seek to justify the regiment, yet he feels that they are entitled to have their course viewed in the light of all the adverse circumstances which operated against them at the time of the battle.
 Speaking of the Porto Rico campaign the Secretary said that the entire force would be supplied with. Krag- -Jorgen- sen guns or else smokeless powder to use in such few Springfields as might be carried in connection with the Krag- -Jorgensens. The purpose, how ever, is to arm the active troops as rap- idly as possible with the high-class modern arm.

GENERAL ROY STONES
 ADVANCE ON UTUAD0

PONCE, Porto Rico, Aug. 6, via St. Thomas.-General Roy Stone is clear ing the road from Adjuntas to Utuado. He has a force of 800 natives at work. A company of the Second Wisconsin and battalion of the Nineteenth Reg ular Infantry are moving to his SUD- port. A considerable force of Span ish is reported to the northwest and frequent alarms are given, but there has been no fight as yet. There is much activity among the troops here.
 The Massachusetts was f1oated last night and will proceed to Arroyo to- day.
 The cavalry troops will go overland if peace is declared. The plans of the army are to cross the island, and they will probably be unmolested.

SECRETARY ALGER TALKS
 OF HIS FURTHER PLANS

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Secretary Alger to-day talked somewhat freely of his further plans. In reply to my question. the Secretary said the army of General Miles was now supplied with Krag -Jorgensens; that 20 900 of these rifles have been sent with the expedition. However, unless snokeless powder is forthcoming for the Springfelds, more Krag-Jorgensens will be sent. The remains of the first Porto Rican expedition, about 10000 men, are yet to go from Newport News and Tampa, and then the second expedition to Porto Rico under Major General Wade.
 ''Yes. this expedition will go just as soon as possible" said General Alger. Tt has not been abandoned; we are waiting to have the men brought from Santiago to Montauk Point, so as to have the transports available Tor Gen eral Wade's troops"

 What will be the object of so many troops in Porto Rico?'
 "There will be many things for them to do; protect the American interests in the event of a provisional govern ment or a military government, or whatever you choose to call it, or dis tribute supplies; to do many things Provisional regiments will be sent to Cuba to take the place of Shafter's s army, and all preparations will be shaped toward a Havana campaign in the fall, as if no peace negotiations vvare in hand p
