SO made of the Cuban debt. The retention
of arms and ammunition by the Spanish
troops comes in for indirect reference un-
der the head of Cuba.
In the absence of an official statement
BIT is impossible to give the Spanish
position on the several American con-
ditions But the following is from the
best information obtainable;
In treating each subject-Cuba, Porto
Rico, Ladrones, Manila and Peace Com
1nission-an acceptance in some cases is
|Bnderstood to relate to the conditions
somewhat aifferent from those laid down
by the American government. As to Cuba
the American terms demanded the evacu-
ntion Of the island, without specifying
the future form of government. The
Spanish reply is said to accept the
principle that Spanish sovereignty over
Cuba will terminate, but it Is understood
to take up the future government of the
island and because Of the extent of
Spanish interests there is said to take the
view, either expressed or implied, that
the United States should administer the
affairs of the island
The time Of evacuating Cuba is a detail
which the Spanish reply is said to regard
as among.man which can bs left to the
comm ission for final determination.
1.-The American conditions as to Porto
Rico, the Ladrones, Manila, etc., are be.
lieved to be accepted, but the topics are
treated at some length and it will require
the full text to show how far the language
used may be construed as an acceptance.
Tho provision as to the commission Is
accected to. The commission is to con-
sist of five commissioners on each side,
with Paris as the probable meeting place.
The Spanish reply is said to develop
somewhat the scope of the commission.
leaving to it not only the determination
of the future Of the Philippines, but also
the details inv olved in the arrangement
of lasting peace.
The outcome of the conference is un
known, but the best opinion obtainable
is that the matter is still open, that Am
bassador Cambon will report to Spain the
results OF his efforts and the desires of
this government, and that another reply
from Spain as to some details will be
necessary to final conclusion.
There were just four parties to the con-
ference, President Mckinley and Secre-
tary of State Day on the one side and NJ.
Cambon, the French ambassador, and his
first secretary of legation, N. Thiebeaut,
presenting the case of Spain.

Washington, August 9.-More than
twenty -four hours after it had begun to
reach Washington. the Spanish note in
answer to the Presidents peace conditions
was presented at the White House by the
French ambassador. What the nature of
the answer was can only be conjecturcd
at this stage, the Secretary of State, at
the conclusion of the conference making
the formal statement that nothing what
ever could be said upon the subejot. The
conference lasted an hour and twenty five
minutes. This prolonged discussion was
believed to indicate that the Spanish
answer was not satisfactory in all re-
spects, though in just what points 1t fell
short Of meeting the expectations Of the
President it is impossible to say. 1t was
felt by the observers that had the answer
been complete acceptance Of our terms,
the result would have been made public.
On the other hand it would be strained
inference to conclude that the answer was
unsatisfactory entirely, for in that case,
according to tho Presidents statement
heretofore made, his offer would have
been definitely Withdrawn and tho war
resumed with greater energy than be.
hot tharQ c0IIId
scarcely be good reason in that case for
Withholding the result of the conferences
On the whole, it is rather to be concluded
that middle result was obtained; that
Spain was found to have attached certain
conditions to her acceptance Of the Presi-
dents terms, but that the latter was not
disposed to regard the injection OF the
new matter as sufficient in itself to war
rant an immediate termination Of the
peace negotiations. According to this
view the President has taken exception to
some of the Spanish conditions, but has
allowed last opportunity for them to be
Withdrawn or modified.
The reply of the Spanish government is
understood to be document embracing
about 1900 words. It bears the signature
of thu Spanish minister of foreign affairs
and the form of statement throughout ts
that of Her Majesty's government.
The copy delivered to the President was
in English, the translation from Spanish
to French having been made at Paris and
that from French to English having been
made here.
The Spanish reply is said to be divided
into five points, or heads, namely:
Cuba,ss Porto Rico, I4atlrone Islands, oc-
cupation of Manila and appointment OF q
commission which are treated in the order
named.

The deepest manifestations of grief

bells are tolllng, shades are drawn
down and in the public galleries here
the pictures of Mr. Gladstone have
been draped with crepe
The queen and the Prince Of Wales
received early an intimation of the sad
news, and Immediately sent touching
expressions of coincidence to the widow.
Further details from Hawarden cas-
tie of the passing away Of the great
statesman show his end was the most
peaceful imaginable. There was no
sign of pain or distress. Mrs Gladstone
clasped her husbands hand and occa-
sionally kissed it, while the Rev.
Stephen Gladstone read prayers and re-
peated hymns. The nurse, in the mean
while, bathed the brow of the patient,
who showed gratitude, murmuring,
How NIGEL"
Then came the gentle, almost imper-
ceptible cessation of life, in the midst
of his sons prayers, and the weeping
family filed from the ROOM taking Mrs,
Gladstone, who was induced to lie
down, and who soon slept quietly.
Mrs, Drew, Mrs. Henry Gladstone,
Mrs. Stephen Gladstone, Miss Helen
Gladstone and others attended COM
munion just after the statesman's

arrived at Hawarden castle.
