has Just concluded his conference with the
queen regent. Her majesty approves the
general lines OF the reply Of Spain TO
Americas peace terms. which Senor Sa-
gas,a explained to her.
The reason for postponing the cabinet
council ur.il O'Clock this evening IS that
the note Is not yet fully drawn up. The
government believes that the United States
will accept Spain's answer. which will cer-
talniy reach the White House by Tuesday.

Some reference has been made In the

White House made no reference to this
subject. and 1t cannot be known as yet
