THINK SPAIN WILL ACCEPT

WASHINGTON, July 29.--Public
men who talked with the President
and members OF the cabinet today pos
itively assert that the administration
has confidence in the sincerity of the
Spanish note, and that the admins
tration takes the view that this note
is the beginning of the end and that
the administration is practically GER
tain that the answer of this govern
ment and the general terms it will
propose will be accepted by Spain.

SANTA CRUZ AND DUFF ISLANDS

These latest additions to the Eng
lish possessions in the South Seas
were the only unanneXed islands in
the southern seas, and thinking some
one else might claim them England
seized the lot. They lie between the
Solomons and New Hebrides, and are
of more strategical value than any
thing else. The Santa Cruz group is
composed of seven large islands and
the Duff or Wilson group of eleven.
The natives are cannibals and will al
ways be remembered for the murder
of Bishop Patteson and Commodore

C0LLIS P. HUNTINGTON
 IN FAVOR OF PEACE.
Believes There Is Nothing to Fight About, and That There Will Be
 No War

Collis P. Huntington, despite the character of the news received from Washington yesterday, gave it as his opinion that there would be no war with Spain. Incidentally he remarked that he had received two or three tele- grams yesterday from New York on the subject. Referring to the resolution by the House, he said:
 T don't think it means war. I un- derstood they were going to pass such a resolution. I got two or three tele- grams relating to the subject. They were not from Washington, but from New York.
 My own impression Is that we will not have any war. There Is nothing to go to war about, that I know of. was told they passed a resolution giv- ing the President authority to use the army and navy of the United States In any way he thought best. That was what should have been done. I should have voted for this if 1 were in Con- gress. l don't believe any one thinks there is going to be a war. I don't think Spain had anything to do with the blowing up of the Maine. A Span iard might have done it. but that would not have been Spain. 1 take it that we are not going to war for Cuba, for it l we want it. I should like to have the people there get their freedom from Spain, but I don't believe it is our busi- ness to go out of our way, any more than it is that of other nations, to help those people.
 Our country ought to be sure she is right. But if we get into war, we should all be for our country, right or wrong. That is why we ought to be very careful, because we can't any of us do less than support the flag when war is on.
 T do not think a war with Spain would disturb the business of this coun- try to any great extent. However, we have more to lose than Spain In the way of commerce, and she will, there fore, be able to do more harm to us, at least for time, than we will be able to do to her. She may do our commerce more harm than most people imagine.

FIVE MILLIONS PAID
 FOR TWO OCEAN LINERS.
Steamships St. Louis and St. Paul to Be Converted Into Commerce
 Destroyers.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-Probably the most significant action at the Navy Department was the issuance of in structions to the Naval Auxiliary Board at New York for the purchase of ocean greyhounds St. Paul and St. Louis of the American line, the pur chase of another auxiliary first class cruiser, probably the York town. of the Old Dominion line. and the purchase of the Brazilian cruiser Nictheroy. The last named vessel is about to be inspected and the result will determine the question of her ac- Quirement by the United States.
 The purchase of the St. Paul and the St. Louis is probably the most expen- sive transaction consummated by the Navy Department since the beginning of the war excitement. These vessels cost over $2,000,00 each, and are re- garded as among the best vessels of that class in the world, being exceeded in speed only by the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse of the German and the Iu- cania and the Campania of the Eng fish line. The amount paid for them Is an official secret, but it is known to be somewhere in the neighborhood of S5.000, ,000
 The St. Paul left Southampton on the 9th instant, and is due in New York on the 18th. The St. Louis is at an English port and the date of her re- turn is not stated. These vessels will be armed and armored at the New York navy-yard and put into condition for naval service as rapidly as possi ble. They probably will De used main ly as transport ships, or as commerce destroyers, most probably the latter
