1t would seem that there could
scarcely be good reason in this case
for withholding the result of the con-
ference. 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 presidents
terms, but that the latter was not dis
posed to regard the injection of the
new matter as sufficient in itself to
warrant an immediate termination of
the peace negotiations. According to
this view, the president has taken eN-
ception to some of the Spanish condi-
tions, but has allowed a last oppor-
tunity for them to be withdrawn or
modified.
Lengthy Document.
The reply of the Spanish government
is understood to be a document en-
bracing about 1900 words. 1t bears
the signature of the Spanish minister
of foreign affairs, and the form of the
statement throughout is that of her
majestys government, similar to the
American terms being in the name of
the president. 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 prior to the presentation
of the answer at the white house. This
obviated delays and gave the president
and secretary of state an English text
at the outset of the conference Of the
ambassador.
Speculation on the Reply.
The Spanish reply is said to be divid-
ed into five points OF heads, namely.
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Ladrone islands, oc-
cupation of Manila, and appointment
of commission, which are treated in
the order named. So far as could be
learned no mention is made of the
Cuban debt. The retention of arms and
ammunition by the Spanish troops
comes in for indirect reference under
the head of Cuba. In the absence of an
official statement, 1t is impossible to
give the Spanish position on the several
American conditions. But from the
best information obtainable, in treating
each subject-Cuba, Puerto Rico, La
drones, Manila and peace commission
an acceptance in some cases is under
stood to relate to conditions somewhat
different to those laid down by the
American government. AS to Cuba, the
American terms demanded the evacua-
ton of the island without specifying
the future form of government. The
Spanish reply is said to accept the prin-
ciple that Spanish sovereignty over
Cuba will terminate, but 1t is under
stood to take up the future govern
ment OF the island, and because of the
extent of Spanish interests there, ia
said to take the view, either express or
implied, that the United States should
administer the affairs of the island. AS
to the time of eyacuating Cuba, this is
a detail which the Spanish reply is said
to regard as among many which can be
left to the commission for final deter
mination
The American conditions as to
Puerto Rico, the Ladrones, Manila,
etc. are believed to be accepted, but
the topics are treated at some length,
and II will require the full text to
show how fer the language used may

did not amount to formal meeting OF
the cabinet, although the reply sub.
mitted by the Madrid government was
discussed. At the conclusion of the
conference Secretary Alger said that

reply of the Spanish government, in
dicating that it was a subject for
further consideration than had yet

be construed as an acceptance.
Agrees to Commission.


The provision as to the commission
is assented to. The commission Is to
consist of five commissioners on each
side, with Paris as the probable meet
Ing 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 in
volved In the arrangement of lasting
peace.
The outcome of the conference is
unknown, but the opinion obtainable
is that the matter is still open, that
Ambassador 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 con-
clusion.
Would DivuIse Nothing.
Secretary Day did not leave the
white house at the conclusion of the
conference. He had been accompanied
to the executive mansion by Mrs Day
and they remained to dine with the
president and Mrs. Mckinley. Short
ly after eight o'clock Secretary Day
went to his office in the state depart
ment, remaining there about an hour.
In response to inquiries concerning
the result of the conference with NJ.
Cambon, the secretary said that no
information could be made public to-
night. Further than that he declined
to go. He could not discuss in any
way, he said, the answer which had
been submitted by Spain.

house about nine. Meantime Secre-
