Spanish Account of the "Horror.o


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-Senor Dupuy
de LONE, the Spanish minister, to-day re-
ceived the following cablegram from Secre-
tary Congosto, at Havana:
THE correspondents of certain news
papers are already starting for a series of
horrors in connection with the killing of
Nestor Aranguren. Not one of them has
been out of Havana and all they will say
has been manufactured by rebel agents
The facts are as follows: A combination
of columns that had been operating sew
eral days defeated on the 9th, the band
of Aranguren of about 100 men. They cap
tured one prisoner, who led a small force
as guide, and the rest of the troops covered
all the issues of u place called La Pila en-
ell Monte, where Aranguren was in hiding
with his escort. The rebels when discov-
cred fired at the troops, which replied, adj
vancing suddenly, dispensing the escort
killing Aranguren and four others, and cap
turing FIVE prisoners one of them wounded
The escort escaped and with it the mis-
tress of Aranguren In The place was
found Il woman wounded, who was not
seen until after the engagement. She was
carried in a litter to Campo Florido, in
order to try to save her by giving proper
attention. AS proof of the falsehood of
the reports about to be circulated, there
is the fact that five prisoners have been
captured and that none of the dead had a
single saber or macIete cut. The docu-
ments captured on ne body of Aranguren
prove that he was Ruiz's assassin. The
saddle he used was fsuizs saddle and he
had two buttons n Ruiz's uniform in his
pocket, as already reported

NO OFFICIAL INFORMATION.
That the Madrid Government Has Ac-
cepted the Terms of Peace.

That the Madrid Government Has Ac-
cepted the Terms of Peace.
Washington. d. c., August 2.-Shortly
before midnight Secretary Alger, as he
left the White House after n conference
with the President, said the Administra-
| ton had received no official information
that the Madrid Government had ac-
cepted the terms of peace proposed by
the United States.
Unofficially, the President has been in
formed that the Spanish Ministry had ac-
cedcd to the terms of this country for Il
cession of the war. The unofficial adj
vices have reached the President in the
form not only of press dispatches, but
of private dispatches from confidential
agents of the United States Government.
While this Government has strong
reasons for believing that its terms Of
peace have been agreed to by the Madrid
Government, the President is taking
nothing for granted. Arrangements for
pressing the war TO a successful conclu-
sion are going forward precisely as if
no negotiations for peace were In pro-
gress. AT conference participated in
by the President Secretary AIger and
Adjutant General Corbin at the Exccu-
i've Mansion tonight Il final decision
was reached as to the constitution of the
provisional corps for Porto Rico to he
commanded by General Wade. The regi.
mentS which are to comprise the CORPS
were decided upon and will be designa-
ted in general order to be issued proba-
bly, tomorrow. Secretary Ager said
that the corps might be en- route to Porto
Rico within week.
Notwithstanding these war-likc prepa-
rations, the belief in official circles to-
night amounts almost TO conviction
that active hostilities practically have
been concluded.
"A prominent official of the admins
tration said tonight:
'The end is near in my opinion. The
information thus far received is unoffi-
cial and meacrc. but that it is accurate.
in the main, we have no reason to doubt.
In fact. we hSve reason to believe it is
correct
1t is understood that the treason" re-
ferred to is contained in the private ad-
vices received by the President and
from private dispatches received by rep
resentatiyes Of foreign governments at
this capital.
Ambassador Cambon. who is conduct
ing the negotiations for the Spanish
government. has not communicated. so
far as could be ascertained, with the
President tonight. and it is not proba-
bic that the official response to the
terms proposed by the United States has
yet reached the French Ambassador
Upon its receipt it will be transmitted to
the President without delay.
In the event of Spain's acceptance of
the terms proposed by this country the
first step probably will be towards an
agreement to close active hostilites,
pending the drafting of treaty of peace
along the lines of the accepted terms.
According to precedents ordinarily re-
garded an armistice would be proclaim
ed, and in the circumstances. this would
mean the practical close OF the war.

SENATOR JONES' VIEWS
THE UNITED STATES MAY BE FORCED TO
ANNEX CUBA.
The Thought of Annexing the Ph lippines is
Preposterous- When we Free Cuba
Our Work is Gone.

st. Louis, August 2.-Scnator James
the National Democratic Committee, who
was in the city comforting with prominent
members OF his party, had this TO say
concerning our foreign policy before he
left for New York:
THE United States is pledged to the
world that an independent and stable
government shall be established in Cuba
When ] voted for that resolution nothing
was said about imperialism. This coun-
try cannot afford to go back on its
pledge. These are my private views,
which | believe are those of the Demo
cratic party.
II do not know what conditions may
arise respecting Cuba, but / have never
known II Spanish-American community
capable of f-governmcnt, and it is
possible that since we set out to free
Cuba from Spanish domination we may
be compelled to pursue IL course which
will eventuate in the control Of the is
land. While | am not in favor of the
acquisition of territory in the tropics, this
course would be less Objectionable than
any other.
Cuba is adjacent to the United States,
as is Porto Rico, but the thought of an
nexing the Philippines is preposterous,
undemocratic and not in accordance
with the principles handed down from
the days of Thomas Jefferson.
I'VE began this war to secure the in
dependence of Cuba and nothing more.
When we have accomplished that end
and Spain has Unidentified us for the
enormous war expense, our mission will
be dOne.'

TEXT OF TERMS OF PEACE.
No Claim For Pecuniary Indemnity
The Philippines Giving Trouble.

Washington, ID. c.. August al
though this was the third day since the
President delivered to NJ. Cambon, the
terms offered by the United States to
Spain as a basis of peace, no answer
came from Madrid and in fact was
scarcely expected.
The press reports of the long Cabinet
meetings held in the Spanish capital yes
terday indicated that the Spanish Cabi-
net was unprepared at least to accept
the terms offered Mt once, and without
appearing to attempt to secure some
modification in the interest of Spain
1t is felt that such a course is absolute
y imposed upon the Sagasta Ministry
by the existing conditions in Madrid
Nevertheless it is not to be seen that
the President cherishes the slightest
intention Of consenting to any essen
tial modification of the conditions, and
the slight delay that has occurred in
making answer is not believed to be
discouraging nor to be taken as IL sign
of the purpose of the Spanish Cabinet
Ultimately to reject the proposition.

to deliver it because the time required
for its transmission would make the
hour too late, and the announcement

MAY CLASH WITH MERRITT.
But Aguinaldo is Respectful Toward
Admiral Dewey.

New York. August "a cablegram to
the Journal from Cavite, July Both, via
Hong Kong, reports that the correspond
ent has spent two days in interviewing
insurgent leaders. As Il result, the cor
respondent says he discovered evidences
of jealousy of the American invasion,
but no actual anti-Amercan feeling. The
dispatch adds:
"Hguinaldo is respectful toward Ad-
miral Dewey. General Merritt and Con
sui Wildman, and will go any lengths to
retain Consul Widman's good opinion,
but he holds back from giving energetic
help to the United States forces.
He will give only Il negative sort o.
assistance until he knows the exact form
which the American policy will take. He
is disturbed by telegraphic reports that
the United States will abandon the
islands to Spain.
There are some indications of clash
between General Merritt and Aguin-
aldo"

THE Governments s reply to the Ameri-

Madrid to-day in consequence of floods

With regard to the part played in
the negotiations by NJ. Cambon. the
French Ambassador at Washington,
there is now a marked tendency both
here and in Paris to attribute to it CON
siderable Importance. Directly the final
arrangement is made it is supposed that
the press will be allowed more liberty of

that both Governments are disposed to
put an end to the war as honorably as
possible for Spain, which would have
been easier had the United States not
imposed such hard conditions with re-

ment, subsequently given to the press,
briefly summarizing the terms of peace.
Aside from the discussion of this state

scrutinized line by line by the members
of the Cabinet with unusual precaution
for diplomatic reasons, the meeting was
devoted largely to talking over minor
war details. One member of the Cabinet
