the terms Of said mortgage.
Further that said Robinson pretends
to have a deed of said land. signed by
the collector of taxes of Pawtucket,

cause he offered to pay all the taxes

Washington. Aug. at was stated
this morning at the state department
that SPANS reply is an acceptance OF
all the conditions laid down by the
United States, but Spain presents elab-
crate views on each point involved. and
on the questions which would natural-
ly arise when the American conditions
were carried into execution. Whether
this will be considered satisfactory re-
mains to be decided.
The Spanish answer to the American
peace conditions will be presented to
the government of the United States
some time today, probably this after
noon. No time has yet been fixed for
the delivery of the answer. and none
will be until the French Ambassador
has time to give careful consideration
and study to the reply which has been
deciphered in full and Is now receiving
close examination.
The reply certainly will be In the
hands OF the United States government
during the day but ii is possible that
the ambassador will deliver 1t to Sec
retary Day and that there may be no
occasion for a conference between the
President and NJ. Cambon at the White
HouSa

SHE WILL CONTEST.
Mrs. Banigan Not Satisfied With
Provision Made for Her.
Will Demand That a Full Inventory Of
tn: Property B. Filled.

There is. 1t is stated on excellent au-
thority, to be a contest over the will OF
the late Joseph Banigan. The widow is
not satisfied with the allotment OF the
estate made to her in place of dover,
and she will insist on finding out the
amount of real estate left by her hus-
band, and for this reason w>ll ask that
an inventory of all his property be. filed.
The instrument offered for probate as
the last will and testament Of Mr..
Banigan gives his wife the homestead
estate, with all It's furnishings. on An
gell street, during her life, and $4,000
a year. and there is also provision
that his children, who are appointed
executors, shall file no inventory. Mrs.
Banigan has 40 days from the filing OF
notice of probate. in which to decline
the provisions made for her In the VIII
i'm place of dover.
There is much speculation as TO now
much real estate the deceased had In
his own name, 1t being known that
some OF the largest pieces of property
i'm which ne was interested was held by
stock companies. Mrs. Banigan. 1t Is
stated, will insist on her fuh dover

THE OFFICIALS
KNOW NOTHING

The government has been informed
that Spains reply has been received by
the French ambassador, but the con-
tents of the reply or its general nature
was not made known to Secretary Day
or any other official. The plan was to
present the communication later in the
day, and no doubt exists that by even
ing the government would be I'm full
possession of SPANS position. Under
the circumstances IL was evident that
the cabinet meeting at most could not
consider the situation with all the light
which the text OF the reply would give,
and almost the only consideration
would be as to the policy OF entertain
ing incidental questions which might
be raised by the reply.
AS 20 this, official opinion appears to
be divided. The general drift OF senti-
ment was toward standing strictly on
the conditions first laid down by the
United States and requiring a direct
answer, accepting or rejecting without
any consideration OF incidental ques-
tions which Spain's reply might raise.
But. on the other hand, there was be-
ljeyed TO be considerable and infiu-
entail element of the administration de-
sirous of realization of the present
prospects OF peace, so long as every
vital and essential condition laid down
by this government was accepted. even
though the Spanish reply sought TO dis
pose OF other incidental points involved
in a transaction OF this vast magni-
tude.
So far as the reply itself is concerned,
even the best informed government Of
ficials had no information, and there
was little but conjecture as TO Its con-
tents.

NICE OUTLOOK
FOR SPANIARDS.

washington. Aug. 9.--It is stated
here, in official circles. that IL SPANS
reply should eventually not prove sat-
isfactory, orders will be given to Rear
Admiral Sampson directing the depart
ure of his feet on its mission to the
coast of Spain. simultaneously with
it's departure from Guantanamo the
auxiliary fleet, consisting Of colliers and
supply ship. conveyed by the auxil-
iary cruiser Yosemite, will leave Hamp-
ton Roads for rendezvous which has
been designated. The Minneapolis,
which has been undergoing repairs at
Newport News, has not been assigned
to the eastern squadron up to this time
and unless the department should fur
ther reinforce Admiral SIMPSONS conf
mand she will not proceed to the East.
Whether or not orders have been given
to the Minneapolis the authorities de-
cine to state,but 1t Is probable that any
further service she Will perform In the
present war will be confined to Cuban
and Porto Rlcan waters.
The vessels which will proceed with
Admiral Sampson from Guantanamo
Bay are the armored cruiser New
York. flagship; battle ships Iowa, In
diana, Massachusetts, and Oregon; ar
mored cruiser Brooklyn. protected
cruiser New Orleans. and the auxiliary
cruisers Yankee. Dixie and Mayhower.
IT will take at least twelve days for
these vessels to cross TO the coast OF
Spain. Before attempting operations
against the squadron under command
of Admiral Camara. Admiral Sampson
will receive instructions TO get In COM
munication with the department. as II
Is possible that Spain. frightened by
the coming Of the fleet. will hasten to
accept any terms that the president
may choose 10 make.
After the destruction of Admiral Cam
arA's command-if that should be found
necessary--a portion OF the fleet will
continue on its way TO Manila. and In

that before IL passes through the Sucz
