an ERROR
Of Long Standing to Be Officially
Corrected = Mistakes on Official
Maps.

Washington, August S.-The Off
cial maps Of the government are by
the authority of the government de-
clared to be incorrect, and as now
printed perpetuate a mistake, which Is
being taught in many of the schools.
The map in question is declared faulty
in that it shows the louisiana ces-
sion to extend beyond the Rocky
Mountains, and to include what are
now known as Washington, Oregon
and parts of Idaho and Montana. Com
missioner Of the General Land Office
Binger Herman, after an exhaustive
examination of authorities, has recon-
mended that the new maps OF the
Louisiana cession end at the Rocky
Mountains, and his suggestion has
been adopted by Secretary of the In
5 tArin~ oii~r The commissioner h-o
had published an official report upon
the subject, containing maps and IL
lustrations The country beyond the
Rockies will, on the new maps, be
shown to have been acquired by dis
covery in 1892, by exloration in 1905,
by Astoria settlement in 1911 and by
the Florida treaty in 1919. Authori-
ties are cited to uphold this view, and
the erroneous statements are given
upon which popular misconception is
based.
The facts of history, Jefferon, Mar
bois. Greenbow and others are quoted
in opposition to the present idea. A
review of annexation by the United
States is included in the report, and
the benefits arising from such acquisi-
tions are pointed out.
The report says:
1.-The grand total of the sums paid
for our foreign acquisitions amounts
to $50 200, 600, a sum less than the
value of one years output Of Montana
minerals, of Minnesota's annual wheat
yield or of the cattle and hay product
of California for one year"
A new map of Alaska showing re-
ported gold discoveries and other min
eral deposits, land Offices, new routes
to the interior, etc, is also incorpor-
ated.

the Ladrones, and the establish
ment OF commission to pass upon
questions relating to the Philip
pines. In the carrying out of This
programme it was believed that
Spain would seek to secure an I'M
derstandiiD ION many incidental
points involved, some of them of
considerable Importance. For in
stance, some doubt was raised as
to whether Spain's acceptance
would be operative until referred
to and ratified by the Spanish
Cortes, and it was understood that
the reply might call attention to
this condition. The same condi-
ton, it was pointed out, exists as
to the United States, for a peace
treaty requires the ratification of
the Senate to become operative. In
case SPANS answer discussed these
incidental points there promised
to be wide latitude for controversy
and delay unless the President and
cabinet declined to enter the field
of discussion.
Late in the afternoon the Pres
ident received an indirect intima-
ton that the Spanish reply had
come to the French embassy. A
cabinet officer who was with him
at this time said on leaving:
THE information that has come
from Madrid about the action of
the Spanish cabinet indicates the
Spanish have accepted our terms
in a general way, but leaves sew
eral questions open that we did not
include in the terms submitted.
The communication offeriIg those
terms was explicit, specifically
stating such points as would be
left open to further negotiations.
We will stand on those terms"
The concluding portion of the
Sapnish reply was received dur
ing the evening, but it was not
until a late hour that it was de-
ciphered as a whole and gone over
by the ambassador. No effort was
made to communicate it to the
United States government to-
night beyond a note to Secretary
Day advising him that the docu-
ment had been received, but not
disclosing its contents. 1t is
probable that the reply will be de-
livered to the President before
the cabinet meeting. although no
hour has been fixed. There is
complete reticence in AL quarters
as to the text of the reply, but
there is reason to believe it is not
an unqualified acceptance Of the
American terms, but is framed on
the theory Of accepting the essen
tails. and trusting to a hoped-for
conciliatory spirit on the part of
this government to moderate to
some extent features which the
Spanish government seems to re-
gard as unessentials.
The administration has not vet
given serious consideration to the
personnel of the peace commission.

Washington, August S.-The re-
ply of the Spanish government to
the peace conditions laid down by
the United States was received by
the French ambassador, M. Cam
bon, shortly before 3 O'Clock this
afternoon. The reply came in sec
lions, the dispatch first received
giving only the opening passages
of the Spanish reply. A few min
utes later another dispatch brought
a second section and these kept
coming uninterruptedly by a pro-
ceSSion of messengers, until seven
sections of the Spanish reply had
been received at ten minutes of
four, when the last part was still
to arrive. In the meantime the
cipher experts were at work and
by 1880 o'clock they were abreast
Of all that portion of the reply re-
ceived up to that time and there
was a lull of some time pending
the arrival of the concluding por-
lions.
1t was thought a terrific rain
storm which swept over Washing
ton about o'clock might have
occasioned delay of the remainder.
Pending the receipt if the COM
plete reply no steps were taken to
fix a time for conference with
the President, as the time for that
depended largely upon s"me of the
features of the reply, and also upon
the explicit instructions concern
ing the delivery of the answer
which usually accompanies a doc
ument of this solemn character.
Neither at the White House nor
at the State department was there
any official knowledge that the re-
ply had reached Washington, and
the usual office hours closed with
no appointments Tade for con-
ference. There was felt to be little
likelihood even though the anu
bassador received the complete re-
ply and instructions, that there
would be night conference at the
White House for the purpose of
presenting the document.
Pending the official delivery of
Che answer speculation was rife as
to it's contents. There was little
or no further doubt that the length
of the reply meant that Spain had
not given a simple and direct af-
firmative to the American condi-
lions. 1t was evident that if the
reply was an acceptance, it was
accompanied by extended discus
sion and probably by conditions.
This caused considerable apprehen-
sion in official circles here, for
while it was felt last week that
Spain would surely yield in every
particular, it began to be felt that
possibly there might be another
period of discussion, and possibly
an indirect attempt to open up a
diplomatic exchange on the nature
of the terms. The prevailing view,
however, was that the reply was
on its face an acceptance, al
though not such a one as spreclud-
ed all possibility of further discus
sion. All vital points were believ-
ed to be conceded--the abandon
