be settled and new methods applied to the government of the islands.
 The second method by which the pre- liininary peace agreement might be formally effected would be by a pro- tocol to be signed by a representative of the President, probably Secretary Fay in this case, and by M. Cambon in behalf of the Spanish Government. 1t was by just such an agreement as this, known as the Cushing protocol. tllat war with Spain was ayerted as a result of the Virginius affair. This course, having the weight of precedent may be adopted in this case. It is probable that in the Philippines the greatest difficulty will be met m put ting the agreement into effect on ac- count of the attitude of the insurgents, but General Merritt is now gaining in daily and probably will Ee in position to meet any emergency.

General Wade's endorsements for General Miles are going forward re- gardless of the progress of peace nego- tiations. The agreement to negotiate a treaty of peace does not necessarily carry with it a cessation of hostilities. In the case of the Mexican war 1t was q month after the peace negotiations began before hoStilities were declared to be closed, and If desirable these re- Inducements may be intercepted and returned to the United States after they sail. The present plans of Secre- tary Alger all contemplate that they shall leave the United States, espe- cially as it is felt that with the practi cal field experience they will acquire fn Porto Rico under favorable climatic conditions they will make good mater ial to use both there and in Cuba in carrying out the Government recon struction policies.

Gen. eral Wilson is advancing upon Coamo while General Brooke Is pushing for ward toward Cayey from Arroyo.
 The period of inaction for the Ameri- can troops has ended. The men are breaking camp and all are prepared for the march on San Juan.

OPINION AT MADRID FOR PEACE AT ONCE

Special cable to The Call and the New York . Herald Copyrighted 1898. by James Cor 2: don Bennett.
 =: MADRID, Aug. 7.-After the Queen Regent had consulted with prominent political men the Government met to- night to approve the answer to the limited States drawn up by Premier ~Sagasta and Duke Almodovar de Rio, accepting the American conditions. In this answer the Spanish Government reserves the utmost possible power of discussing the details hereafter, in the hope of making better terms.
 There Is no ministerial crisis Diplo- n. atic circles now believe that the Spanish and American governments will come to a definite understanding. Senor Castelara, although not attend ing the councils here, comes out with
 a. straightforward message of peace.
 Senor Canalejas who is known in the
 United States and Is an astute lawyer. Says the fact of requiring further ex-
 Planation from the Government at \ ashington implied the acceptance of the terms of peace
 On leaving the palace yesterday Senor Sagasta said that in the early
 days of the comin~ week the Govern : inent would be able to give the coun- try it's definite conclusions.

SECRETARY OF STATE DAY WILL RETIRE FROM OFFICE
 WITH THE COMING OF PEACE

NEW YORK. Aug. 7.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald sends the following: In connection with the probable selection of Secretary Day as one of the commissioners, I am able to make the important announcement that he will at an early date retire from the office of Secretary of State and after concluding his labors as a member of the commission resume the practice of law in Canton. Although this Is the first public announcement that Secre- tary Day intends to retire from public life, 1t has long been known to his most intimate friends that when he accepted the portfolio he did so with the under standing that he would resign his office immediately after peace had been re- stored between Spain and the United States.
 The main reason assigned by the friends of Secretary Day for his desire to leave the Cabinet is that he does not feel financially able to hold an office which involves so many social obliga- tions of an expensive character. He feels that having served his country during the trying period he should now resume his law practice while still in the prime of life in order to make am- pie provision for his family in the fu- ture. It is not known whether the Sec retary contemplates retiring with his appointment as one of the commission CTS or upon the final conclusion of the treaty of peace. Should he defer his resignation until the commissioners have concluded their labors Assistant Secretary Moore will act as Secretary in his absence, and the President will hIIs Q a n ha of new Secretary until next fall.
 At this time the President has not made up his mind as to the selection of Secretary Days successor, or if so he has not yet taken any one into his con- fidence. Hence there Is plenty of time for speculation as to the next Secretary of State. Among the names which doubtless will soon come prominently to the front are Senator Cushman K Da- wis, Ambassador Hay, Ambassador Horace Porter, Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith and Attorney General J. W. Griggs.

treaty of peace, the officials here are proceeding under the conviction that the end has come and are giving at
 tention to the steps to be taken next. In view of the delay in coming to this
 conclusion, the idea was beginning to
 prevail that the Spanish Government
 was about to enter plea in abate-
 ment and that the answer would be
 again inconclusive. In this case the
 President was disposed to deal firmly with the issue, to give notice that our proposals were withdrawn and to let 1t
 be understood that when Spain again sued for peace the conditions would be more severe than those first laid down. If the Spanish answer should embody an effort to secure any material change in the conditions it will meet with prompt rejection.
 Some reference has been made in the dispatches of British newspapers to a desire on the part of the Spanish Gov ernment to include in the preliminary agreement clause eXempting 1t from liability for the Cuban CN,bt. The for nal statement of the points of the United States note given out from the White House made no reference to this subject and 1t cannot be known as yet whether or not the full text shows any thing more. But presuming that no reference whatever is made to the Gu ban debt, it is possible the subject may be regarded as one that should be treated by the peace commissioners who are to meet later to frame the treaty which, of course, will embody many details that are left untouched in the main proposition though Cabinet officers have authorized the statement that no part of the Cuban or Porto Rican debts would be assumed by the United States. Based upon the press reports of the progress being made at Madrid toward returning the answer of Spain, 1t was calculated by the de- partment officials that the formal note could not be delivered to the President before tomorrow, and that was also the belief of the French Ambassador. From the length of time consumed in it's preparation, the note was believed to be long, thus entailing the consump- tion of much time in forwarding 1t first to Paris, reducing it to cipher there. transmitting it over the cable and then re-translating 1t at the French Elm bassy.
 In the case of the last note the at taches of the embassy worked nearly all night to prepare their communicn- tion to the Spanish Government, though the conference with the President closed before 5 o'clock in the afternoon, with the Ambassador in possession of the United States note. Should the Spanish answer be an unconditional &C., ceptance of our terms some negotiation may be necessary to agree upon the steps to be taken to give effect to the agreement So far as can be learned it has not yet been determined how this shall,rbe done. There are two ways. then. The first Is military capituIa- aoy fai, 1c of Lo and Porto Rico. which will immediately place the American military or naval in technical occupation cf the islands and enable them to carry out in their own way and in their own time the authorization of the Spanish

STAR ROUTE SERVICE.

Present Methods Denounced by Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The work of
transporting the mails throughout the
United States is dealt with in the an
nual report of Second Assistant Post
master General William H. Shallen-
berger. The main feature of the report
is a vigorous denunciation of the present
star route methods. Mr.. Shallenberger
refers to the speculative bidding for
star routes as ''discreditable to the gov
eminent. He says the bidders cut a
little under the old contract price and
risk being unable to s'lblet at a. profit.
The competition results in the. greater
part of these contracts being awarded
at very low rates, the accepted bidders
or their agents often using deceit and
Misrepresentation in securing subcon-
tracts from poor and innocent men as
