NOTHING OFFICIAL LEARNED
Washington Hears Only Ru-
mors Of Spain's Reply.
RTPoRT Is NOT QUESTIONED
Believed in Admin stration Circles That
the End of tho War Ii
Near at Hand.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Secretary AL
ger, as he left the White House after q
conference with the pre- sident, said
they had no official information that
the Spanish governm ent had accepted
the proposals of the United States.
Unofficially. the preside MT had been
informed that the Spanish ministry
had acceded to the terms of this coun.
try for cessation Of the war. The
unofficial information, no wever, came
in the form not only of press dis
patches, but of private disp atches from
confidential agents Of the United
States government.
While this government has strong
reasons to believe that its terms OF
peace have been agreed to by the Mad
rid government, the president takes
nothing for granted. Efforts to bring
tho war to successful conclusion are
going forward precisely as if no nego-
tiations for peace had been started.

PRESIDENT MEETS CAMBON
Conference Lasts an Hour and
Ends Without Reaching
Conclusion.
Peace Negotiations Have No
Restraining Effect on
Preparations.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. After con.
ference on the peace question lasting
for just an hour between the president
and M. Cambon, the. French ambassa.
dor, the latter acting as the representa-.
tive Of Spain. Secretary Day emerged
from the White House and announced
that the conference was inconclusive,
wherefore the parties to it had agreed
to say nothing publicly as to what had
occurred. The secretary did not ap.
pear to be discouraged as he made this
statement, though he admitted that no
time had been set for another confer.
ence. From this it could be gathered
that the long expected answer Of the
Spanish government to the presidents
note, upon being received, had turned
out to be just as it was expected, either
q counter proposition or a request for q
fuller statement in detail upon some Of
the propositions made.
Meantime, in accordance with the
declared purpose of the president at
the beginning of the overture, this con.
ference is not operating to restrain mil.
itary operations in any degree. Orders
went out during the day for confer
ence of leaders Of the regiments to ac.
company General Wade to Porto Rico,
and within "a hours some Of the troops
for this expedition will be boarding the
transports at Newport News. It is felt
that even should an armistice be de-.
clared before these troops see active
service at the front it will be beneficial
for them to have made the trip and at
least see the shores of Cuba and Porto
Rico. Profiting by its last experience
General Wade's expedition is going to
be the most complete in details Of any
that have yet left our shores and the
soldiers will be protected in their
health and comfort to the utmost de-
gree.

General shafter Now Caring for Six

WASHINGTON, Aug 8. General Shat.
ter's health reports show that he is
now caring for over 5000 sick people,
including Spanish soldiers, many Of
whom were said to be very i'll. The
generals task is a formidable one, and
the attempt to care for all hands prob
ably explains in q measure the lack Of
adequate precaution for the trans.
ports employed in bringing back
home some of the wounded and
sick. The conditions on these boats
were found to be so shocking as to de.
mand immediate investigation, which
was begun there Monday, and some
courtmartials may be looked for in
high places, unless it can be shown
clearly that the lack Of preparations
was unavoidable.
