with all the attributes of the direct diplo-
matte officer of Spain. empowered to act
for the government within his very COM
plete instructions.
YEsTERDAY's CONFERENCE.
The meeting was held in the presidents
library, and both in the subjects discussed
and in the impressive manner in which the
destined to become memorable.
After NJ. Cambon had presented his Gre
dentials as pienipotentiary and they had
been examined and his status recognized as
the envoy of Spain, the first business was
the presentation of the terms laid down
by the United States government. Secre-
tary Day read the terms. pausing at the
end OF each sentence to allow NJ. THE
bault, first secretary of the French en-
bassy, 20 interpret 1t into French, as the
ambassadors knowledge of English is linn
tilted.
WHOLE NATTER GONE OVER.
This reading by Secretary Day and in
terpreting by NJ. Thiebault took but fifteen
minutes. They began the discussion. point
by point. The president and the ambassa-
dor addressed each other directly with the
greatest freedom and frankness. each stout
Iy maintaining the Justice of his position
on the several points involved.
When. at last. after an eloquent plea by
the ambassador, it was agreed to modify
the conditions in one particular. Secretary
Day withdrew for half hour and attended
plished, the ambassador addressed himself
to the president, not so much as the advo-
cate of Spain. but personally. having with
in humanity.
NJ. CAMBON's ELOQUENT PLEA.
. NJ cambon is a man of fervid eloquence
and he spoke with an intensity OF feeling
which made deep impression on the pres
ident and the others present. He spoke in
French. each sentence being caught up and
interpreted by NJ. Thiebault with rapidity,
so that the earnestness of the ambassadors 6
expression lost little by this indirect method
of communication. The president spoke
with equal frankness and in the lengthy
discussion there was scarcely point in the
whole range of the war which was not met
and freely considered.
THE ONE MODIFICATION.
What the modification is that has been
agreed upon can be only conjectured, but
there in reason to believe that it relates
either to the time when actual hostilities
will be suspended or else to the extent of
our interest in the Philippines, leaving un-
changed the condition that Spain shall
withdraw from Cuba and Porto Rico, grant
r the United States cosling stations In the
9 Pacific, and make important concessions
in the Philippines.
END MAY COME VERY SOON.
It is now for the Madrid government to
give Anai approval to what was partially
: accomplished to-day. 1t is even possible
that this approval may come very speedily,
within day or two. for there is no need
OF extending conferences or correspond
ences All that was accomplished to-day,
when NJ. cambon acted as plenipotentiary
From the fact that he acted under instruc-
tions. the prospect would seem to be hope
full for Spains ratifying what has been
done. But 1t is for Spain herself to deter
mine between the issue Of peace or war
now presented.

CALL FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS
It May Come in Two Weeks, and be for
100000 Men.
Not TIL Cuban Invasion Begins-MRde
Necessary by Occupation of Philip
pines and Porto kico.

New York, May ga dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Another call for volunteers is under
serious consideration by the military
authorities although 1t may not be Ia
sued for at least a week or two, or at
any rate until the Invasion of Cuba has
been begun and the necessity for addi-
tional troops is clearly demonstrated.
The difficulty of arning and equipping
the army of soldiers already mustered
into service is rapidly disappearing and
from the experience gained in the re-
cent call, army officers are satisfied
that more than month will be con-
sumed in mastering an additional 10000
men and that in this time equipments
could be prepared for that number. The
unexpected and extraordinary drain on
the regular and volunteer force by the
Philippines expedition, necessitatlng at
the outset $4,000 men, together with the
prospect that Spain will not be inilu-
enced by European powers to abandon
her futile struggle, but Will wage war
until her resources are exhausted, Is
causing the military authorities con-
siderable anxiety regarding the sufii-
cheney of the armed force of the gov
eminent for carrying out the RESPONSE
The simple task of freeing Cuba has
been increased, through the necessities
arising In the Philippines and through
the probability of being compelled to
maintain an army of occupation In Gu
ba several years, until the war is be-
ginning to assume tremendous dimen-
sions.
If Porto Rico is added to the scales
| eventually, as the Philippines were, the
magnitude of American responsibility
will be materially Increased anu further
1 increase of the army made compulsory.
Many public men are beginning to ex-
| press the conviction that the forces of
