WASHINGTON. August 2.-Shor,ly
before midnight Secretary Alger as he
left the White House after Il conferene :.
With the President said the administr:,-
ton had received no official informa-
ton that the Madrid government had
accepted the terms proposed by the
United States.
unoilically the President has been
informed that the Spanish ministry has
acceded to the terms of this country
tor ceSsinn of war. The unofficial adj
vices have reached the President in the
form not only of press dispatches, but
OF private dispatches from confidential
agents Of the United States govern
ment. While this government has
strong reasons for believing that It's
terms of peace have been agreed to by
the Madrid government the President
is taking nothing for granted. Ar
arrangements for pressing the war TO Il
successful conclusion are going for
ward precisely us if no negotiations
for peace were III progress. AT Il con-
ference participated i'll by thu Presi-
dent. Secretary Alger and Adjutanr
General Corbn at the executive man
sion tonight 4 final decision was reach
ed as To the constitution of the provls-
iollal corps for Porto Rico to be- COM
manded by General Wade. The regl-
ments which are to comprise the corps
mated III n general order to be issued
probably tomorrow. Secretary Alge.
said that the corps might be en- route
to Porto Rico within Il week.
Notwithstanding these warlkc prep
ara tons the belief in official circles to-
night amounts almost to u conviction
that active hostiitieS practically have
been concluded \ prominent, official
of the administration said tonight:
The end is near. in my opinion. The
information thus far received is unof-
fetal and meagre, but in the main We
have no reason to doubt it. In fact we
have reason to believe it is correct"
1t is understood that the treason
advices received by the President and
from private dispatches received by
Representatives of foreign governments at
this capital.
Ambassador Cambon. WIG is cor

so far as could be ascertainea. with the
President tonight and it is not jpra babe
that the official response TO the terms
proposed by the United States has yet
reached the French ambassador Upon
lis receipt it Will be transmitted to the
President Without delay.
In the event of Span's acceptaoice Of
the terms proposed by this country the
first step probable will be towards an
agreement to close active hostilities,
pending the drafting Of treaty of
peace along the lines of the accepted
terms. According to precedents ordi-
narily regarded. an armiSticc would be
proclaimed and in the circumstances
this would mean the practical close OF
