WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Although as

report that the Spanish government
has decided to accept terms laid down
by the United States as essential to
the negotiation of treaty Of peace the
officials here are proceeding under the
conviction that the end has come and
are giving attention to the steps to be
taken next. In view Of the delay in
coming to this conclusion the idea was
beginning to prevail that the Spanish
government was about to enter q plea
in abatement and that the answer
would again be inconclusive. In this
case the president was disposed to

rejection. Should it be an acceptance
negotiations may be necessary to agree
upon steps to be taken to lead to an

One lesson which was Thoroughly

Of things thirty-seven years ago,
though only after some difficulty and
delay, might wisely be taught by
them in each household or business
institution to those of the younger
generation, and by that gener

it does not pay to wear out ones life
by worrying about delays or uncertain

unreasoning fear instead of common
sense. War always means delay.
There never yet was an army or navy
handled half so vigorously as the stay
at homes would have handled it.
