been published here to the effect that
her going away is due to the serious
illness of her mother, the Queen of Den
mark. But the dispatches from Copen-
hagen published in the newspapers here
intimate that the Queen of Denmark
is in perfect health, and has been out
twice driving today.
Under the circumstances it is not un-
natural that the public should connect
the departure of the Princess with the
presence at Cowes of Lady Warwick.
who has not been in the Isle of Wight
during the annual regatta week for ma
ny years. The prince, as every one
knows is an exceedingly difficult pa
tient to manage. He is the most easily
bored of men, and breads nothing more
than ennui. His inability to get about
under the circumstances has developed,
according to those around him, an 1rT1-
liability, an impatience and a disregard
for others, which is foreign to his char
acter when well, as it resembles the ma
ture displayed by his grand uncle, King
George ", during the last ten years OF
his life.
The prince, learning of the presence
of Lady Warwick at CoWeS, has naCuf-
ally insisted on her visiting him on
board his yacht to relieve the ennui, and
the princess, who aboninates the count
ess more than any woman in Chr1sten-
! DOM and who displays her aversion for
| the lovely peeress in the most pointed
manner, has naturally objected to her
! presence on board, and sooner than

self to the reprOach of leaving a help

| of the most careful nursing.
Lady Warwick is the only woman for
| whom the Princess of Wales has ever
| condescended to show any jealousy. She
realizes the superiority of the attractions

! elegant woman, but, above all. as a very

she should have been able to retain the
| as her future king for more than ten
years.
The princess breads the influence of the
| countess on the prince, and has sought Dy
] out of society by declining to attend any

was present. The Princess has even gone

CAUSE OF DELAY.
Spain Would Avoid Appearance
of Haste.

New York, Aug. A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Spain has practically agreed to the
terms Of peace without asking for their
material modification. The hour spent
by Ambassador Cambon at the White
House yesterday afternoon not only re-
moved all doubt on this point, but suf-
fciently indicated that a formal con-
clusiOn of the negotiations would be Sc
cured more promptly than had been ex-
pected by even the most sanguine
The character of the Inquiries re-
garding certain details demonstrated
that Spain in all sincerity was ready to
end the war, the sooner the better. but
apparently could not resist temporizing
for a few days for the sake of avoiding
an appearance of too great precipitancy
in surrendering, and at the same tin e
taking advantage of the opportunity to
gain few trivial concessions which
would be popular with Spaniards gener-
ally.
To administration officials, who
feared tedious negotiations, extending
over many weeks, the delay of a, few
days longer before the cOnsummation of
actual peace is not altogether disagree
al bic, as few preparations have been
made to assume suddenly the tremend--
Gus responsibilities which the ''immedi-
ate" evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico
involves, Immediate in this case
meaning a practical evacuation in a
few weeks.
1t was a relief, therefore, when the
French ambassador presented the Span
ish memorandum touching upon certain
matters which are considered unimpOrt-
ant as affecting the principles of Presi-
dent McKinley's demand. with the dis
tinct implication that no question was
raised regarding the REIMBURSEMENT of
all Spanish sovereignty in the West In
dies. The desire of Spain, in her pros
trate and impoverished state, to secure
some slight concessions, involved in a
more definite statement regarding war
material, period of evacuation, respon-
sibilty for Cuban indebtedness and the
limitations that might be imposed upon
the commissioners to conclude a treaty
of peace, showed clearly to the authori-
ties that no further resistance would be
encountered, and, in fact, that Spain
had already determined upon prompt
submission
When NJ. Cambon left the White
House it is believed that he was pre-
pared to remove the last indication of
indecisiOn at Madrid, and that not lat
er than Friday or Saturday of this week
he will be the bearer of the Spanish fin
al dispatch to the White House, which
will result in an immediate armistice.

A TRUCE AT MADRID.
After Peace is Established
Trouble Will Begin.

New York, Aug. A dispatch to the
Tribune from Madrid says:
The significant feature of the situa-
tion today is the fact that the queen
regent and SenOr Sagasta are both de-
sirous that the details of the final
draft of the treaty of peace should if
possible, be conducted in Paris by Senor
Leon Castillo, the Spanish ambassa-
dor to France, and the United States
ambassador or commissioners.
The reason for this is that Senior Cas-
tillo, besides being devotedly loyal to
the dynasty, is known to possess states
manlike capacity of the highest order
and his experience and familiarity with
international law are thought by the
queen regent to be greater than those
of any other available Spanish dipIo-
matist.
Owing to a great measure to the pat
riotic efforts of Gen. Polavieja, a tacit
truce seems now established between
all factors of internal disorder. Neither
the Carlists, the military leaders nor the
Republicans wish to come before the
country at the present moment as the
allies of the United States. This truce
is likely to last until the peace treaty
is signed.
The feeling of all classes here is that
humiliation resulting from this disas-
trOuS war falls not upon the Spanish
nation, but upon the dynasty and gov
ernment and that the national honor
cannot now be affected, no matter what
crushing terms America demands. Opin-
ions on all sides are that the moment
peace is signed the government will
be made a Scapegoat and the people
Will then turn SaVagely against the
dynasty and make it ansWerabIe for the
consequences.
The caprice of the Madrid public was
manifested last night by the kissing
of some naval officers and naval cadets
In uniform as they took their seats in
one of the Madrid theaters.
Much nonsense is talked here about
the debts of Cuba and Porto Rico. 1t
may be stated once for all that Porto
Rico has no debt and as to the debt of
Cuba the royal DEGREES authorizing the
issue of Cuban bonds were, unfortunate
ly for Spain, so worded that even in
the opinion of one of the legal advisers
of the crown, the Cuban debt is purely
a Spanish debt, imposing no liability
whatever upon Cuba.
The Bank of Spain holds nearly nine
hundred millions of pesetas worth of
Cuban bonds of various denominations
It's position must become very critical
should the United States, as is general
ly expected, decline to assume any liza
bility for them, either directly or by
saddIing part of them upon Cuba.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-08-04

full confidence that there will be little
delay and pickering over the closing of
the details of peace. A fortnight ago
he was not so confident, being disposed
to fear Spanish procastinatiOn and hag-
Cling over details. Today he expressed
the opinion that he believed that there
was no longer danger on that score and
said that policy seemed to have been
abandoned under the stress of circum-
stances. This expression goes to con-
firm other indications that peace is near
at hand. Those who have gone over the
ground and conferred with the officials
express belief that the outcome of
peace is very nearly attained. One ad-
ministration public man, who talked
with the president and others today
predicted that a preliminary agreement
which would practically settle the war
would be effected within a week. Sena-
tors and representatives are becoming
more numerous, many of them return
ing here from their homes on various
DOlitira1 missions
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-08-04

Cambon was informed upon all of these
points presumably to his satisfaction.
There is one point, however, which the
Spanish authorities, judging from their
communication to their representative
here, fail to comprehend and Secretary
Days call upon the ambassador last
night was for the purpose principally
of making perfectly clear this one point,
which was that the evacuation of Cuba,
Porto Rico and one of the Ladrone is
lands to be selected by the United
States and the permanent cessiOn to
this government of all these islands ex-
cept Cuba, was made a condition prece-
dent to all peace negotiations, and not
piled with, would this government con-
sent TO entertain any peace proposition
whatever.

is expected the answer will be final
Firmly but courteously, the president
has declined the appeal of the French
ambassador to modify the United
States demands except in slight and
comparatively unimportant respects.
There is no doubt that the peace nego-
tiations are progressing to the entire
satisfaction of the president and the
members of the cabinet. A statement
to that effect was made today by a high
official of the administration who ex-
pressed the belief that within a very
short time there would be a complete
cessation of hOstilities.
The conference yesterday afternoon
at the White House in which the presi-
dent, NJ. Cambon and Secretary Day
participated, was devoted almost en-
tirely to a discussion of details which
are regarded by the president as unim-
portant and hence the requests of the
French ambassador, for the most part,
will be acceded to. One of these was
that the commission to be appointed to
settle the terms of peace shall meet
outside of the United States and pref
erably in France. The president sees
no material objection to granting this
request and it is said to be practically
settled that the conference will be held
in Paris.
The Madrid government through NJ
Cambon, propounded a number.of ques-
tions as to the time when Spain would
be expected to evacuate Cuba and the
territory to be ceded the United States
and as to what provision would be
made by the United States to protect
the interest of Spanish subjects. NJ.

ITS MISSION ENDS.
Porto Rico Junta in New York
Disbands.

New York, Aug. 4.-The Porto Rican
junta of New York has disbanded- At
a meeting held in this city resolutions
were adopted unanimously winding up
its business affairs. In it's stead an
advisory committee will look after
the affairs of the island here and the
interests of Porto Rican emfgrants ex-
lied because of their political afnlla-
tions. A letter of thanks will be sent
to Gen. Miles.
1t was also decided that an associa-
ton be formed in Porto Rico as soon as
practicable to work in harmony with
the island "to promote culture and re-
move all political, economical and So
cial vices left by Spain

toothache. All of US are certain. as soon
as the authorities at Washington fully
appreciate the condition of the army,
to be sent home. If we are kept here,
it will. in all human possibility, mean
an appalling disaster, for the surgeons
here estimate that over half the army,
if kept here during the sickly season,
will die.
This is not only terrible from the
standpoint of individual lives lost, but
it means ruin from the standpoint of
the military efficiency of the
flower of the American army,
for the great bulk of the regulars
are here with US. The sick list, large
though it is, exceeding 1000, affords but
a faint index of the debilitation of the
army Not ten per cent are fit for ac-
tive work Six weeks on the north
Maine coast, for instance, or elsewhere,
where the yellow fever germ can not
possibly propagate would make US all
as fit as fighting cocks, able as we are
eager to take a leading part in the
great campaign against Havana in the
fall.
We can be moved north, if moved at
once, with absolute safety to the coun-
try, although, of course, it would have
been infinitely better if we had been
moved north or to Porto Rico two
weeks ago. If there were any object
in keeping US here, we would face yel-

THE paymasters begin their work to-

we face bullets, but there is no object
in it, The four immune regiments or
dered here are sufficient to garrison the
city and surrounding towns and there is
absolutely nothing for US to do here,
and there has not been since the city
surrendered. It is impossible to move
into the interior. Every shifting of
camp doubles the sick rate in our pres
ent weakened condition, and any how,
the interior is rather worse than the
coast, as have found by actual recon
noissance. Our present camps are as
healthy as any camps at this end of
the island can be.

destruction without striving so far as

as it is unnecessary and undeserved.
