PRIVATE DISPATCHES
Advise President Mckinley Spain Has
Accepted our fcfms.

Washington, Aug, 2-Shortly before
midnight scerclary Algcr, Nfter confer
ence with the president, said the admin
istraton had received no Official intorma-
ton that the Madrid government had ac-
copied the terms Of peace proposed by the
United States,
unofilcially the president had been in
formed that tho Spanish ministry had ac-
cepted the terms OF this country for a
cessation OF war Uuofiicial news reached
the president In the form not only OF press
dispatches but Of private dispatches from
constitutional agents OF tho United States
While this government has strong rea-
sons for believing that It's terms of peace
have been agreed to by the Madrid gov
ornment, the president Is taking nothing
for granted, Arrangements for pressing
the war to a successful conclusion are go
ing forward precisely as II no negotiations
for peace were In progress, At u confer
ence participated in by the president, Sec
etary Alger, and AdJutant General Corbin
at the executive mansion tonight u final
decision was reached as to the consutu-
tion of the provisional corps for Porto
Rico, to be commanded by General Wade,
The regiments which are to compose the
| corps were decided upon and were desg-
mated in the general order to be issued,
probably tomorrow, Secretary Alger said
the corps might be enroute to Porto Rico
within week.
Notwithstanding these warlike prepara-
lions, the belief in official circles tonight
amounts almost to conviction that ac-
tive hostnltes have practically been
ended

CAMP DEWEY, MANILA.
General Merritt's Arrival Has Resulted in
Great Activity Among the Troops.


London, August 2-The correspondent
Of the Times at Cavke, under date of
July %, says:
"The arrival OF General Merritt has
given a great stimulus to military activ-
!ty in Camp Dewey, where Green's
brigade has been reinforced by the troops
from Merritt's transport. The occupation
OF the country south OF Manila has been
completed for about mile east Of the
shore, but the line does not extend to the
river Pasig. No territory Is held by the
Americans north Of the town.
General Green, who directs the active
field operations has established his head
quarters near the seashore, under the
guns Of the warshlps, about 100 yards
from the Spanish position and from 500 to
1000 yards distant from the insurgent
lines, which approach at one point within
$50 yards OF the enemy. Here occur daily
attacks which are usually begun by the
insurgents. Often these are apparently
severe, but they have little result and
cause few losses. The Americans have
not yet returned single shot, although
they are constantly under fire.
THE situation at the front Is most ex-
traordlnary Each force is guarding its
lines but the insurgents are little better
than an armed rabble. They pass freely
through the American camp and mingle
with the troops, but they render no assis-
tance and are, indeed, rather hlndrance
to the operations.
am reluctant to believe the report that
a certain prominent official, assured
Aguinaldo that the Americans came simp-
ly to support the insurgent cause and es-
tabllsh republic yet the attitude Of the
Insurgents, particularly since Aguinaldo's
recent announcing his plans for the fu-
ture republic seems ample confirmation,
The insurgent leaders are aggressively
arrogant and make no move toward recog-
nizing American authority. General Mer-
rtt has not thus far met Agulnaldo.
1.-THE condition of the Spanish prison.
ers confined by the insurgents at Cavite
Is most deplorable and has aroused the
pity and sympathy of General Merritt,
who begins to issue rations today without
advising Aguinaldo This Is probably the
first step toward assuming proper au-
thority over the insurgents who had hith-
erto been treated as masters of the situa-
ton. The attitude of the insurgents is
the only difficulty in the way of an i'm
mediate settlement of the whole matter.

the Inquiry will be on the most general

GARCIA FIGHTS
Battle Between Insurgents and spaniards

Playa del Este. Cuba, Aug. 2.-The news

the north coast OF the province Of Santl-

with the Spanish troops. who were trying

The Spanlards were probably the force
that evacuated Nlpo bay during the re-

The democrats on the fourth ballot again

The Matter WIN Soon Be Taken Up by q

Inc Matter VIII soon be Idken Up Dy

New York, August A Special to the
Times from Washington says:
1t is well understood at the department
Of state that as soon as the prelEmlnaries
are settled. Ambassador Combons mis-
sion for Spain will end and the further
negotiations that can follow the agree-
nsent to the first conditions Of the United

Spain, probably IN London.
With confidence that these expectations
wiz be realized, the administration Is
turning its attention to shrinking the
great war organization that has been
created since the prospect of war began to
be alarming.
The work OF expansion and shrinkage
may seem for while to be going On At

inclined to believe that the annexation OF
that island will be accomplished at an
