adopted resolutions uttering its defiance

WASHINGTON WAITING.
Officials Believed Spain Would Sign
the Protocol.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE interest in
agovernment circles centered To-Day IN
z the press dispatches from Madrid, as
the first news of the decision OF the
Spanish government would be made
public there, and there was no lkeIl-
hood of ANYTHING being known official
Nv in washington during the day as to
SPANS decision respecting signatures
to the peace protocol. After the close
of office hours Secretary Day drove
over to the White House and had
half hours conference with the presl-
dent. He stated that no further word
had been received from Ambassador
Cambon, out admitted that he expected
a call from that gentleman tomorrow.
Members of the cabinet expressed the
opinion that the president would have
some news for that body when it meets
tomorrow, which is construed into an
intimation that the ambassadors call
probably will be made tomorrow.
Officials show no less confidence in
their first belief that the Spanish gov
eminent will authorize NJ. Cambon to
sign the protocol as it was transmit
ted last evening.
The naval war board, led by Secre-
ta-y Allen, called on Judge Day about
noon 1t is believed their purpose was
to impress on the secretary the i'm
important strategic points at the en-
trance of harbors, such as MORO
Castle, at Havana harbor, a condition
fer the cessation of hostilities. 1t is
questionable, however, whether it is
not now too late to amend the protocol
in it's substance as proposed by the
war board.
HOSTILITIES CONTINUE.
A rumor was af1oat this afternoon
to the effect that Secretary Alger, in
anticipation of the beginning of the
formal peace negotiations, had cabled
General Miles and General Merritt in
Porto Rico and the Philippines respec-
lively, orders that looked toward a
cessation OF hostilities. When his at
tention was directed to this rumor,
Secretary -Alger promptly pronounced
it to be without foundation and as
absurd, and his words were practically
repeated with emphasis by Adjutant
General Corbin. through whose hands
any such messages must pass. The

was deprecated, as tending to encour-
age the Spanish government to further
delay and passive resistance. AS a
matter of fact, General Miles seems
to be pressing forward with the great
est energy, and a cablegram received
from him late in the afternoon re-
ported the forward movement of Gen
eral Schwan, in charge of one of the
divisions of the American army, and
the ensuing skirmish. Ernest's brigade
is also advancing rapidly along the
road to AibOnita, and made what Gen
eral Miles termed a very important
capture at Coamo yesterday.

DINNER TO Mr.. CARROLL.
Efs Horseshoe Admirers Preparing
for a Ranquet.

Tor n VIII y Auot
A dinner is to be rendered to Assembly
man Timothy j. Carroll by his friends.
1t will take place at 1'aylor's Hotel on
Tuesday evening, February /.
The idea of dining the Honorable
Teddy originated with a-few of his init
mate friends. and admiring constituents.
Ii was first intended to limit the num-
Der of Invitations to about twenty-five
or thirty. but when the proposed dinner
became talked about among the frequent
ers of the Park House, Freebooter Ken
ny's cafe. and other resorts in the old
Horseshoe district, none of ~"Teddy's'
friends wanted to be left out. and they
were not slow in intimating that to the
committee in charge. The committee de-
cided to increase the limit to one hundred
tinvites.'
Mr.. John #. Madden, the treasurer of
the committee, said last night that the
proposed dinner was simply a mode of
showing the Assemblyman the esteem in
which he is held. He did not have a list
Of those invited, but said it would not be
confined. to the Assemblyman's Horseshoe
constituents. Robert Davis and Dennis
Mclaughlin, he said. would both be pres
emit. He had also received a letter from
a prominent downtown Republican,, ac-
knowledging the receipt of the invitation
and expressing great pleasure thereat.
Mr.. Madden couldn't say whether any
prominent State character had been in
vited. He was asked in a jocular manner
if Governor Griggs had been sent an in
vitation. In like manner he replied
o that would be making too much of
a political affair out of 1t. No, it's to be
Just Il social affair and We all expect TO
have a good time.
