TIE QUESTION OF PEACE.
Equivocal Denials from Madrid APP
parently Given Out for Home
Consumption.
llvELIEsT SATISFACTION IN EUROPE.
An OGiciai Note Issued In Paris Reclting
that the French Ambassador at Wash
ington Has Been Authorized to Pre-
sent Note from spain to the Presi-
dent of the United States

LONDON, July 27.-The equivocal de-
hials from Madrid, recently, when in
quirics were made on the subject of
the reported peace negotiations, were
seemingly given out Mt the Spanish
capital prior to SPANS formal applica-
ton at Washington for peace. Many
similar communications. intended for
home consumption. may be expected
during the negotiations, but the
only purpose of such denials is To allay
Castillian susceptibilities, and they
will not affect the real point at issue.
Lively Satisfaction in Europe.
The livelicst satisfaction is expressed
In all quarters, and in the newspapers
throughout Europe, at the fact that
Spain has at last done the right thing
for the first time during the war, and
peace is looked upon as being within
measurable distance.
1t is taken for granted that the open
ing of negotiations implies cessation
of hostilities, and it is believed here
that the United States was at first I'M
officially approached. and gave gem
eral idea OF the conditions she would
insist upon before NJ. Cambon, the
French ambassador, presented his note,
and that the formal negotiations will
consist chiefly of the formulation of
terms already practically settled.

An Armistice May be Agreed to II Spain

WASHINGTON, July 27.--The president
by Thursday will communicate our an
swer TO SPANS peace proposal to Am
bassador Cambon. II Spain gives as
Surance that an armistice will be fol-
lowed by n treaty of peace on certain
general lines 1t is probable that the
president will agree TO an armistice.
1t is asserted that If an armistice is
granted it will only be on terms similar
to those accorded Gen. Toral ut Santa
go-the general contentious must be
admitted by Spain, leaving only the
details TO be arranged by the commits
sioners. The United States, it is un-
derstood, will go at the matter in a
straightforward manner that will leave
little scope for the exercise of the usual
Spanish diplomatic methods.
The Question OF Indemnity.
Touching the question of indemnity.
1t may be stated that our government
will not be in the mood to abandon
any claim on this score, if Spain, by
further resistance ob!iges it to go to
heavy expense in sending a naval ex-
petition To Spain and of continuing on
large scale the military movements
now under way.
