WITHOUT RESERVATION.
spain Accepts the Four Conditions I'm
posed by the United states.

Madrid, Aug. Z, a. m.-Until after
the meeting of the council, which was
set for 10 o'clock this morning, Il will
be impossible to know accurately the
text of Spain's answer to the American
peace terms. From a well informed
source IL is learned. however. that
while the answer does not discuss the
four bases which the United states
makes an essential preliminary to
peace, and which Spain accepts with
out reservation, il points out that in
order to avoid the definitive negotia-
tions being in any way complicated by
incidents AZ the war, IL is expedient to
agree before hand to a suspension Of
hostilities.
IL is reported that Duke Almodovar
del Rio. the minister of foreign affairs,
and Mgr. Del Var, the Spanish am
bassador to the vatican. will be selected
to represent Spain in the negotiations
The newspapers make no reference
TO the situation, owing to censorship.

pose for prolonging the war or getting
better peace terms.
The comments on the conditions of
peace are very reserved. II the United
States insists on an immediate evacua-
tion of the Antilles, the cortes will be
convoked forthwith. The queen regent
will sign a decree increasing the note
circulation of the Bank of Spain. The
work of strengthening the fortifications
i'm the vicinity of Gibraltar goes on un-
ceasingly.
The Daily News, in its editorial,
echoes the opinions of the Times re-
garding the Cuban difficulty. 1t char
acterizes General Ames' dispatch as
zone of the strongest and strangest
that ever came from a military
source" and says: 1T speaks wonders
for the candor Of the navy department
that the dispatch was never published.

ration of peace II might have consid-
erably retarded that event"

Peace Negotiations.

Peace Negotistions.
London, Aug. "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
gaiety.
El impartial proposes a new solution
for the settlement Of the Cub n debt.
1t takes for granted that the United
States canot be asked to assume the
burden OF about $lG0. 600. 600 when the
rebellion began. in 1895 and the $3.50 =
600, 600 since, and il suggests that Spain
should undertake 10 pay interest and
redemption on the Cuban debt until the
new West India republic is in a posi-
tion TO do so, which FL impartial af-
fects to believe Cuba soon can do when
its vast natural resources are developed
under an American protectorate.
The same paper goes on to say that
Spanish finances will be very seriously
compromised and the interests OF
Spanish and foreign holders Of Cuban
stock also, IL the United States does
nothing for the Cuban debt The Ma
drid press insists that this matter Will
yet be moOted in the negotiations be-
tween Spain and the United States.
The papers comment on Senior Sagas-
ta's astuteness in consulting the pol.ti-
cal leaders. This act has greatly
strengthened his position. because

Refuse to Accept Them.
London, Aug. THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail telegraph
ing Sunday says: The answer of the
Spanish government declares that
Spain cannot discuss the American
proposals, but only accepts them be-
cause they are imposed on her by force.
Only a few unessential changes i'm the
American demands were asked for. and
it is not expected that President Nc
Kinley will refuse them.
A commission composed Of Spaniards
and Americans will decide the question
of the Cuban debt. the dates and man
ner of evacuating Cuba and Porto Rico
and the protection Of Spanish interests
in these places. The commissioners
will also decide whether Spain is to be
allowed to withdraw her artillery and
the remainder of her arms and ammu-
milton from the colonies, while the
question of the future Of the Philip
pines will be settled by the same body.
The treaty will be signed subject TO

HARD NUT TO CRACK.
AIger's Mismanagement Commented On
by the London Times.


London. Aug. s.-The Times says ed
itorally this morning:
1T is a hard nut the negotiators have
to crack regarding Cuba. The Americ-
ans cannot garrison the island. and II
would be rather absurd TO be compelled
to ask the Spanish troops to remain
and take and keep order there. There
is sometimes victory so complete and
easy as to be more embarrassing than
a struggle upon something like equal
terms Had the Spanish army in Cuba
been beaten, the situation would have
been much less complicated, as the ad-
ministration of the island would be
taken over by the victorious army.
The. American war office is the sub
iect of severe criticism from men Of
all parties. and Secretary Alger, as our
New York correspondent casually OBJ
serves, is regarded seriously as a cam
didate for retirement into private life.
There undoubtedly has been most ser
ious mismanagement in connection
with the Santiago forces, and had not
public opinion interviewed upon the
manifesto Of the generals, II is prob
able that the war office would have
gone on covering up its own mistakes
until the Santiago force had sue
cumbed entirely to disease and priva-
tion.
Now the troops are being transport
ed from the island as rapidly as pos
sble and with them goes every trace
of American power. No native govern
ment is possible. no American govern
ment is ready or likely To be ready for
a long time TO come. In the meantime
the Spanish army is starving with the
civil populace Events seem 10 have
moved so quickly as 10 leave the Amer
lean war office absolutely unpreparcd
to deal with problems much greater
than the provisioning of the field force
at Santiago"
