THE ANSWER COMES.
Spain's Reply TO Our Peace Terms
Reaches Washington.
President Not Yet Officially Notified
An Outline of the Answer-Com-
mission VIII BE Appointed to
Decide Minor Differences.

Washington, Aug. o. - The conclud-
ing portion of the Spanish reply was
received Monday evening, but it was
not until a late hour that it was de-
ciphered as whole and gone over by
the French ambassador No effort was
made to communicate it to the
United States government beyond
note to Secretary Day advising
him that the document had been re
ceived, but not disclosing its contents.
viii stand on the Terms.
Late in the afternoon the president
received an indirect intimation that
the Spanish reply had come to the
French embassy. A cabinet of Ger
who was with him at this time said, on
leavia z:
THE information that has come from
Madrid about the action Of the Spanish
cabinet indicates the Spanish have ac-
cepted our terms in a general way, but
leaves several ques lions open that we did
not include IN the terms submitted. The
communication offering those terms was
explicit, specifically stating such points as

We Will stand on those terms"
Madrid, Aug. 8.-The cabinet council
terminated after having completely
confirmed the reply Of the United
States, which, it is said, accepts the
American conditions. The reply Will
be telegraphcd to Senior Leon Castillo,
the Spanish ambassador to France,
who viii send it to NJ Cambon, the
French ambassador at Washington.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, con-
cluded his conference with the queen
regent. Her majesty approves the
general lines of the reply of Spain to
Americas peace terms which Gen.
Sagasta explained to her. The gov
eminent believes that the United
States Will accept SPANS answer. As
a consequence of the United States ac-
cepting the reply. hostilities will inn
mediatcly afterwards be suspended.
From a wcll-informcd source it is
learned that while the an or does
rot discuss the four bases lch the
United States makes an essential pre-
liminary TO peace, and which Spain
accepts without reservation, it points
out that in order to avoid the defini-
tive negotiations being in any way
complicated by incidents of the war,
it is expected to agree beforehand to
a suspension or hostilities. 1t is re-
ported that Duke Almodovar de Rio,
