SUSPENSION OF HosTIL1T1Es
VIII Not Take Place Until Spain
Fully Accepts Our Conditions.

Washington, Aug. 2. ~ The progress
made by the peace negotiations has
given rise to a supposition in some
Quarters that hostilities are to be sus-
pended very soon. This will depend
entirely upon the attitude Of the Span
ish government and the nature of it's
answer to our demands. 1t has been
made clear to the French ambassador
that hostilities will not be suspended
except upon the assurance OF full ac-
ceptance of our conditions, and the
Spanish cabinet has doubtlessly been
informed that it depends upon Spain
when the war shall cease. Meanwhile,
as an earnest that our government has
not interrupted the execution of its
campaign, an order was issued from
the war department for the dispatch OF
an entire army division to reinforce
Generals Miles and Brooke in Puerto
Rico This will be known as the pro
visonal division and will be command
ed by Maj. Gen. Wade, at present in
command at Camp Thomas. He is or
dered to turn over that command to
Maj Gen Breckenridge and to report
to Secretary Alger at Washington for
instructions before departing for
Puerto Rico, bringing with him his
aGjutant general and his aides.
