 Change Anything.

Madrid, Aug. 12.-In official circles here the reply of the United States to Spain in tho peace negotiations is re- garded as satisfactory.
 Premier Sagasta, however, denies he authorized tke French Ambassador at Washington, NJ Cambon, as represent ative of Spain, to make changes i'll the Spanish answer i'll regard to certain con- ditions which might create difficulties during the course of negotiations. The premier added, If any changes are to be made the government itself will make them.
 The text of the reply of the United States will not be definitely know until the next cabinet meeting.
 It is believed in official circles here that suspension of hostilities will be announced by both governments imme- diately after Mir Cambon is authorized to sign the protocol.

United States authorities and not to Cubans. There are political reasons why the Spanish government should impress this course upon it's military commanders, seeking as it has done to induce the United States to assume the sovereignty over Cuba instead of erect. ing Cuban government. Therefore, this condition at Holguin, if known to Blanco may induce him to take steps to surrender the place to any authorized American officer.
 It is intimated that surrenders on this basis would not cease at Holguin, and q rumor is ahOat that Havana itself had surrendered, but this failed of confma- ton at points where such news natural ly would find it's way. If these condi- tions are known to the Spanish govern ment at Madrid the fact may have in important bearing in hastening the ac- ton of the Sagasta ministry upon the pending proposition from the United States government.

It is useless to make dis functions i'll language in order to reach a conclusion which is inevitable and al- ready known, while cur blood continues to flow in Porto Rico and Manila.

 Mrs. Orr was admitted to the first homes of the town. given q prominent place in church work and every consid. eration generally accorded good people.
 Miss Rachel Morris, accused Of being an accessory, and Susie Jacobs, g negro also cook, have skipped, and thei whereabouts are unknown. Had they been in jail, they would have undoubt- edly been lynehed.
