tically Settle the War Will Be Reached
Within Week.

Washington, Aug. A long confer
ence between the president and Secre-
tary Day and Secretary Long was held
this forenoon. Secretary Day looked
fatigued as a consequence of Il nights
conference with the French ambassador.
They were together going over the
peace propositions until l o'clock this
morning. Secretary Day today ex-
pressed the opinion that there was no
longer any danger of delay. Those who
have gone over the ground and con-
ferred with the officials express the be-
lief that peace is very nearly attained.

president and others today predicted that

Brought North at Once -Retrenchment
in Expenditures Begun.

Washington, Aug. A cabinet Off
Ger who met the president this after
noon, states that he was certain that
the final reply from Spain to our note
will be communicated officially to the
president between this afternoon and
Saturday afternoon, and word from the
French ambassador, setting an hour for
a meeting for this purpose is expected
almost at any time. President Mckin-
lev had conference with Secretary AL
ger, Secretary Long and Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Allen, at which ac-
tion was taken for the prompt transpor-
tati0n of General Skaters army from
Cuba to Montauk Point, l.. |. The con-
ference occupied couple of hours and
there was an informal general presenta-
tion of the needs of prompt action and
the means at hand to effect it. 1t was
finally concluded that there were sut1i-
cient vessels off the coast there now for
the removal of the army. The despatch
of the troops home, accordingly will be-
gin at once There was also discus
sion of where retrenchment could be

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS PROGRESSING.
President Mckinley Has Refused to Modify
Original Demands s-Final Answer Ex-
nao+ad :, Sbort T,r,a


Washington, Aug. 1.-THE United
States government is now waiting to
hear again from Spain, and this time it
is expected the answer will be final
Firmly but courteously the president de-
clined the earnest appeal of the French
ambassador to modify the United States
demands, except in slight and compare
lively unimportant respects. There is
no doubt that the peace negotiations
are progressing to the entire satsfac-
tion of the president and members of
the cabinet.
The statement was made today by a
high official of the administration that
within IA short time there would be a
complete cessation of hostilties. Secre-
tary Days cali upon the ambassador
last night was for the purpose of MAX
ing perfectly clear the evacuation Of
Cuba, Puerto Rico and one of the La
drones islands, to be selected by the
United States and the permanent ces-
sion to this government of all these
islands, except Cuba. was made con-
ditiOn precedent to all other peace
negotiations. At the request OF NJ.
Cambon, the president consented that
the commission to arrange the terms OF
peace should meet outside the United
States, probably at Paris. 1t was mid
night before the concession of the presi
dent regarding the meeting place of the
peace commissioners was communicated
to the Madrid authorities, so that allow
ing for the difference in time, it was
impossible for an answer to have been
received this morning. However, it is
expected the delay will not be more
than day or so, and the answer will
be an unconditional acceptance of the
terms as they now stand.

tions- Court Martial the Penalty.

Boston, Aug. "A special to the
Journal from Ponce says: A tremend-
Gus sensation has occurred in the 9th
Massachusetts, regiment, which is in
General Garrettson's brigade. The fric-
tion between the, line officers and the
officers of the brigade, which has been
growing ever since the command left fol
Cuba. reached climax on Monday
when Colonel Woodward, Lieutenant
Colonel Chaflin, Major Taylor, Chaplain
Dousseaut and Captain Goodell, of
Company X, resigned their commits
sions. The exact reason which prompt
ed them to take this action is not at
present known. The cause must have
been serious indeed. These resigna-
tions leave Major Charles X. Darling
ton in command of the regiment. The
matter has been fully reported to Gen
eral Miles and rigid investigation has
been ordered. BY military law, to re-
sign in the face of the enemy means
