formed quarters doubts are expressed as to whether the Spanish note will be dispatched to Washington quite as soon as is generally expected"
 The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The answer of the Spanish government declares that Spain cannot discuss the American proposals, but only accepts them, because they are imposed on her by force Only a few unessential changes in the American demands were asked for, and it is not expected that President Mckinley will refuse them. A commission composed of Spaniards and Americans will de- eide the questions of the Cuban debt, the dates and manner of evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico, and the protec- tion of Spaniards and Spanish interests in these places. The commissioners VIII also decide whether Spain is to be al- lowed to withdraw her artillery and the remainder of her arms and ammunition from the colonies, while the question Of the future of the Philippines will be settled by the same body. The treaty will be signed subject to approval by the cortes, which will be convoked inn mediately. The cabinet council to- night will appoint Spanish commission CTS to meet the Americans to arrange as to the future of the Philippines and other details"

G4YETY IN MADRID.
Bull Fighting and the Customary Amusements on Sunday.

London, Aug. 9.-A special dispatch from Madrid says: Apparently the public is little concerned about the progress of the peace negotiations. There were bull fights as usual to-day (Sunday), and the customary amuse- ments proceeded with the utmost gay- ety." Fl Imparcial meets a new solu- ton for the settlement of the Cuban debt. It takes it for granted that the United States cannot be asked to as- sume the burden of about 32, 100000 pounds sterling of debt existing when the rebellion began in 1895 and the 9O,- 000,00 pounds spent since, and it sug- gests that Spain should undertake to pay interest and redemption on the Gu ban debt until the new West Indian re- public is in position to do so. Fl Im- parcial affects to believe Cuba could soon do this, when it's vast natural re- sources were developed under an Amer ican protectorate.
 The same paper goes on to say that Spanish financiers will be very serious ly compromised and the interests of Spanish and foreign holders of Cuban stock also, if the United States does nothing for Cuban debts. The Madrid press insists that this matter will yet be mooted in the negotiations between Spain and the United States.
 The papers comment on Senor Sagas- ta's acuteness in consulting the politi- cal leaders. This act has greatly strengthened his position because near ly all approved his peace policy and none had any feasible plan to proposed for prolonging the war or getting bet ter peace terms. The comments on the conditions of peace are very reserved. If the United States insists upon an immediate execution of the Antilles the cortes will be convoked forthwith. To- morrow the queen regent will sign a degree increasing the note circulation of the Bank of Spain. The work of strengthening the Notifications in the vicinity of Gibraltar goes on unceasing- ly.

War Department Satisfied as to Progress
 Toward It's Transportation.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The war de- partment officials are entirely satisfied with the progress so far made toward the shimment to Spain of General To- ral's army surrendered at Santiago.

SPANISH SHOOTS.
One Sunk and Another Captured by the
 Tug Hudson.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 1.-The tug Hudson, which has been with the Un- cas on the north coast blockade, sank a little Spanish sloop a few days ago and captured another one off Cardenas yesterday. The captured sloop was the Christina and was loaded with fish, quantity of which was served up for breakfast by the Hudson's men, who had been out for month and had little left in the way of provisions Three Spaniards- who were In the Christina put off in their tender when they saw the Hudson approaching and gained a key just off shore. The Oneida also came from the blockade to-day. She reports that day before yesterday a. body of Spanish infantry fired about thirty rifle shots at her from point on the beach several miles east of Moro Castle. The gunboat did not return the fire.

NIcDuffee Awarded the Race,

Philadelphia, Aug. 7.-The twenty five mile race between Eddie McDuf- fee and Jimmy Michael, which was ridden yesterday at Willow Grove bicy- cle track was tonight awarded to Me Duffee by Referee Uhler. Michael led at the end of the twenty-five miles, but the refree withheld his decision, Me Duffee's manager having lodged a pro test at the end of the third mile that Michael had more pacemakers than were specified in the contract. The contract called for 92 pacemakers to a side and after an investigation it was found that Michael had 39. Under these circumstances McDuffee was given the race.

MADRID ADnICEs TO LONDON.
Decision to Accept American Conditions
 Text of Reply Not Dfvulged.

London. Aug. 8.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times, telegraphing Sunday, says: To-day all the best au- thorities agree that the government has decided to accept the American condi- tions. The American reply to Spain's request for explanations reached Mad rid Friday evening. The text has not been divulged, but 1t is known that it brought little consolation. President Mckinley turned a deaf ear to the sug- gestion that Porto Rico might be left to Spain and compensations sought elsewhere. Regarding the Philippines, the reply was not altogether satisfac- tory, but 1t was of such a nature that there was no longer any necessity for postponing a decision on the main ques- tion.
 Meantime Senor Sagasta's extensive consultations seemed to leave no doubt that the nation wants peace. l do not mean to say that all declared this in plain language. On the contrary, there was a deal of resistance. Some patrons had expressed the idea that the best men in the country would periodically forget for the moment all conditions and endeavor to assist the government in it's difficulties. This idea, if it was ever seriously entertained, was not real ized. As to the context of Spain's re- nly. the oracles differ. Some say that it contains no contentious matter, accepts simply in principle the four demands of President Mckinley and suggests an immediate suspension of hostilities. On the other hand, others affirm that it is prefaced by an account of the origin of the war, tending to prove that as Spain was in no sense the aggressor she ought not to be expected to pay a war indemnity either in money or ter ritory.
 e'Though the king, according to the constitution, has the. right to declare war and make peace, any cession of national territory requires the sanction of the cortes, and any minister consent ing to such cession without this sane tion is liable, according to the penal code, to Imprisonment for life. It will he necessary therefore to convoke the cortes some time before the treaty of neace is ratified, but the government has not yet decided at what stage of inc proceedings this necessary formal ity will be observed.

REPLY OF THE PORTE,
Repudfates Responsibility for tn,
 Losses of Americans.

Constantinople, Aug. 1.-The porte on Friday replied to the American de- mand for compensation for losses sus- tained by American subjects during the Armenian massacres. The reply is the same as that given to other powers repudiating all responsibility for the losses. In the course of the farewell audience of pr. James B. Angel, the retiring American minister to Turkey, the sultan referred to the war between Spain and the United States. He was much impressed with the naval opera tions and the terrible execution of the American guns and had ordered the purchase of similar guns for Turkey.

STAINS REPLY ON THE WAY
APPROVED BY SPANISH COUNCIL
 ONLY LAST NIGHT.

of fCiroumstances,H Having Done Noth-
 She Has Been Unwillingly Led in De-
 fense of Her Rights and Territories''-
 Madrid Advices to London and the
 Peace Talk i'm Washington.
 Madrid, Aug. 7.-1O p. m.-The cabi- net council tonight terminated after having completely approved the reply to the United States, which, it is said accepts the American conditions. The reply will be telegraphed to Senor Leon Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to France tonight so that M. Cambon, the French ambassador at Washington, will receive it tomorrow. The govern ment is fully convinced that the note will be satisfactory to the Washington government and that a suspension of hostilities will be it's immediate conse- quence.
 According to the most reliable sources of information the Spanish note is couched in dignified language. It as- serts that Spain bows to the force of circumstances, having done nothing to provoke the war; into which she has been unwillingly led in the defense of her rights and territories. It expresses a willingness to support delegates to meet the American commissioners to discuss the regime for the Philippines. It is understood that both Senor Sa- gasta and Duke Almodovar de Rio, the foreign minister, told the queen regent that they felt deeply the painful duty the circumstances imposed upon them.
 From 6 well informed source 1t is learned that while the answer does not discuss the four bases which the United States makes an essential preliminary to peace, and which Spain accepts without reservation, it points out that in order to avoid the definitive negotia- tions being in any way complicated by incidents of the war, it Is expedient to agree before hand to suspension of hostilities. It is reported that Duke de Rio, the minister of foreign affairs, and Monsignor Merry Delval, Spanish an1- bAssador to the Vatican, will be select ed to represent Spain in the negotia- tions. The newspapers make no oom- ments on the situation owing to the strictness of censorship. As the reply to the American terms was only sub- mitted to the queen regent to-day all the reports of her approval yesterday Of the American demands are necessarily without foundation.

Guayamo With O,OOO Men.


 Ponce, Aug. I, morning, via St. Thom- as.-A general advance of the American forces began this morning. General Ernst's brigade, constituting the ad- vance center, supported by two batter ies, moved out at 6 o'clock and part of the 11th infantry of General Henry division started to the left toward Ad- jutas. Troop A of New York, the Phil adelphia City troop and Troop H of the 9th regulars are conveying General Brooke's transportation column along the coast road via Salinas to Arroyo. Wire communication with General Brooke on the right has not yet been established.
 Ponce, Aug. ', Sunday evening via St. Thomas.-General Wilson has mov- ed the headquarters of his division from Ponce to Juana Diaz. General Schwan with the 11th regular infantry and two batteries moved to-day through Yauco toward Mayaguez. General Brooke is moving north from Guayan1a with 10,- 900 men.
 Madrid, Aug. 7.-2 p. nl.-An official dispatch from Porto Rico says the Americans yesterday seized the GUS toms house in the village of Fajardo, which place was without a garrison. An American column, the dispatch also says, supported by the artillery ad- vanced on Guayama. The Spaniards made a brave defence but were forced to withdraw to Alturas. Seventeen of the Spaniards were killed.
 Washington, Aug. 7.-General Wade's endorsements for General Miles are going forward regardless of the prog ress of peace negotiations. The agree ment to negotiate a treaty of peace does not necessarily carry with it a cessation of hostilities. In the case of the Mexican war it was a month after the peace negotiations began before hostilities were declared to be closed and if it is desirable these reinforce ments may be intercepted and returned to the United States after they sail The present plans of Secretary Alger all contemplate that they shall leave the United States, especially as it is felt that with the practical field experi- ence they will acquire in Porto Rico under favorable climatic conditions they will make good material to use both there and in Cuba in carrying out the governments reconstruction poli- cies.
