pushing them out in all directions, sup
living the money for extending them
farther and farther north and west,
and connecting them into long systems
controlled by one head. Other men in
other cities did the same; but by and

the central West and East could sue

THE BATTLE OF MANILA STILL WAITING FOR PEACE
THE PROTOCOL NOT SIGNED.
The Spanish Reply Was Not Salts
Aforementioned Spain VIII Re
cede ind Agree to the Te",us of
Peace Originally offered.

Washington, Aug. l0.-Secretary of
ment for the press:
We have agreed upon protocol embody-
ing the proposed terms for the negotiation
OF u treaty of peace, including the evacu-
alton of Cuba and Puerto Rico, and it is
expected the protocol will be executed.
1t can be stated that the trems are
precisely those laid down by the president
in the original note about week ago.
1t is believed that nothing but few
fornalities remain to be disposed of to
secure the signature of the protocol. The
formal signatures of the protocol will not
be affixed today. This is definite.
\ meeting was arranged between See
rotary Day and the French ambassador
at the state department this morning to
consider certain details of the Spanish
reply left open from yesterdays confer
ence There is reason to believe that the
Spanish government will recede from GER
tain conditions and that the result will be
an agreement upon the basis OF the terms
OF peace.
The French ambassador, accompanied
by Thebaut, arrived at the state depart
ment at II o'clock and after conference
lasting Is minutes with Secretary Day,
the latter drove to the White House to

FIVE TRANSACTIONS COMING.
The Spanish Answer Coming slowly
to the French Embassy.

Washington, Aug. S.--2:45 p. m.-The
Spanish answer to the peace terms has
lust been received at the French embassy.
1t is quite long and in cipher. The trans
lation began at once, but it will take
some time to complete the work.
At $3.50 o'clock the Spanish reply was
still arriving at the French embassy.
The fourth section having just been re-
ceiyed.
Paris Aug. 8.--The Spanish ambassa-
dor this morning presented to the French
minister of foreign affairs SPANS reply
to the peace terms of the United States,
which was subsequently cabled to Wash
ington.
Five Translattons.
Washington, Aug. 8.--opain's answer
| to the demands of the United States IS
now on the way to Washington, but it Is
coming with a slowness almost painful
| in view of the earnest desire to know
whether the acceptance is complete or
qualified.
/ There are no less than five translations,
! four of them in cipher, IN transmission
between Madrid and Washington. After
the Spanish cabinet meeting last night
! the response was reduced to a Spanish
cipher and then sent to the Spanish am
bassador at Paris, by whom it was to be
translated into French, after which the
ambassador would deliver it to the
French foreign office to be reduced to the
French cipher for transmission to the
French ambassador here. These moves
take, it is calculated, eight or ten hours.
The impression prevailed in official
quarters up to midday that the response
would not reach the president until quite
late today at the best, and more likely
not before tomorrow.
The impression is growing in official
quarters that the Spanish answer, while
in the nature of concession OF the Amer
lean demands, is not brief and simple
acceptance, without reservation or cOndi-
ton. There is no direct official advice
on this point, but all the official adylces
from Madrid indicate the response Is
document of considerable length, pre-
pared with laborious care, and it has sew
eral features which may not appear Ill
the conditions presented by the United
States.
1t is probable the reply will be in the
hands of the government in time for CON
sideration at the regular cabinet meet
ing tomorrow when the sutficiency or in
sufficiency of the response will be deter
mined
