The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1898-08-05

, Tribune from Madrid says:
The significant feature Of the situation
today is the fact that the queen regent
and Senor sagasta are both desirous that
the details Of the final draft Of the treaty
Of peace should. II possible. be conducted
in Paris by Senior Leon y Castillo. the
Spanish ambassador to France and the
United States ambassador or commission
ers.
The reason for this Is that Senior Casti-
10. besides being devotedly loyal to the
dynasty, Is known TO possess statesman
like capacity Of the highest order and his
experience and familiarity with lnterna-
tional law are thought by the queen regent
to be greater than those OF any other
available Spanish diplomat.
Owing, in a great measure. to the pat
riotic efforts Of General Polavieja, taeit
truce seems now established between all
factors OF internal disorder. Neither the
Carlists. the military leaders. nor the re-
pubAcans wish to come before the country
al the present moment as the allies Of the
United States. This truce Is likely to last
until the peace treaty Is signed. The feel
ing Of all classes here is that the humili-
alton resulting from this disastrous war
does not fail uDan the Spanish nation but
upon the dynasty and government, and
that the national honor cannot be affected
no matter what crushing terms America
demands. Opinions on all sides are that
the moment peace is signed the govern
ment Will be made scapegoat and the
people viii then turn savagely against
the dynasty and make it answerable for
the consequences.
Tho caprice Of the Madrid public was
manifested last night by the Kissing of
some naval officers and naval cadets in
uniform, as they took their seats in one
OF the Madrid theaters.
Much nonsense is talked here about the
debts OF Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t may be
stated once and for all that Porto Rico
has no debt, and as to the debt Of Cuba,
the royal DEGREES authorizing the issue OF
Cuban bonds were, unfortunately for
Spain, 50 woried that even in the opinion
Of one Of the legal advisers Of the crown,
the Cuban debt is purely a Spanish debt,
imposing no liability whatever on Europe
The bank of Spain holds nearly sOO,OOO,-
900 Of pesetas worth of Cuban bonds OF
various denominations, It's position must
become very critical should the United
States, as is generally expected. decline
to assume any liability for them. either
directly or by saddiing part OF them
upon Cuba.

PEACE WILL NOT BE DELAYED
Spain VIII Return Definite and Affirma-
tive Answer This Week.

tive Answer This Week.
New York, August A special to the
Tribune from Washington. says:
Spain has practically agreed TO the terms
Of peace without asking for their mate
rial modification.
The hour spent by Ambassador Cambor
at the White House this afternoon not
only removed all doubt on this point. but
sufficiently indicated that a formal con-
clusion of the negotiations would be Sc
cured more promptly than had been ex-
pected by even the most sanguine.
The character Of the inquiries regard
ing certain details demonstrated that
Spain in all sincerity was ready to end
the war, the sooner the better, but appa-
rently could not resist temporizlng for a
few days for the sake OF avoiding an ap-
pearance of too great precipitancy in
surrendering and at the same time taking
advantage Of the opportunity TO gain a
few trivial concessions which would be
popular with Spanlards generally.
To administration officials who feared
tedious negotiations extending over many
weeks the delay Of few days longer be-
fore the eonsummation Of actual peace
is not altogether d4sagreeable. as few pre-
parauions have been made to assume sud
denly the tremendous responsibilities
which the Immediate evacuation Of
Cuba and Porto Rico Involves. ''imme-
diate" in this case. meaning practical
evacuation in few weeks.
at was relief, therefore, when the
French ambassador presented the Spanish
memorandum touching upon certain mat
ters which are considered unimportant
as affecting the principles of President
MeKinley's demand with the strict i'm
plicatton that no question was raised re-
garding the REIMBURSEMENT of all Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies.
The desire OF Spain, in her prostrate
and impoverished state to secure some
slight concessions involved In a more de-
finite statement regarding war material,
period Of evacuation, responsibility for
Cuban Independence and the limitations
that might be imposed upon the commits
sioners to conclude a treaty of peace,
showed clearly to the authorities that no
further resistance would be enumerated
and, in fact, that Spain has already de-
'termned upon prompt submission.
When NJ, Cambon left the White House,
it is believed that he was prepared to re-
move the last indication of lndeclslon at
Madrid and that not later than Friday or
Saturday of this week he Will be the
bearer Of the Spanish final dispatch to the
White House which will result in an i'm
mediate armlstic.

'T think said General Palma, that the
principal reason that General Garcia with
drew from Santiago was because It was
not necessary for him to continue there
with his troops after the surrender Of the
city. His presence in the interior was
necessary to operate against l4le Span
iards holding Manzanillo, Holguin, and
other towns.
THE necessity for his act is proved BY
