Washington, Aug. 1o.-More than "a
hours after 1t had begun to reach
Washington the Spanish note in an
swer to the presidents peace condi-
tions was presented at the white
house by the French ambassador.
What the nature of the answer was
can only be conjectured at this stage,
the secretary of state at the conclu-
sion of the conference making the
formal statement that nothing what
ever could be said on the subject. The
conference lasted an hour and rs min
utes. This prolonged discussion was
believed to indicate that the Spanish
answer was not satisfactory in all re-
spects, though in just what points it
fell short of meeting the expectations
of the president it is impossible to say.
1t was felt by the observers that had
the answer been complete accept
ance of our terms the result would
have been made public. On the other
hand, it would be strained inference
to conclude that the answer was I'M
satisfactory entirely, for In that case,
according to the presidents statement
heretofore made, his offer would have

THE L. A. W. MEET.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1O.-The ma
tional meet of the League of Amer
lean Wheeimen began in this city
Tuesday. Bicyclists have been com
ing for several days, but the arrivals
increase in numbers as the time for the
start of the more active part Of the
meet approaches. Tuesday was given
up largely to preliminaries and regis
tration at Tomlinson hall, where mem
bers of the league received credentials
emitting them to special privileges.
The evening was devoted to sociability
in the form of receptions. The first of
the races will take place to-day.
When the registration bureau in
Tomlinson hall closed for the day the
number of wheelmen registered was
very close to $500. Many of these
were from this city, but perhaps more
than two-thirds were whe from
out of the city. Philadelphia was more
largely represented than any other
city outside of indianapolis.

HAS ALL TROOPS HE NEEDS.
Gen. Miles Sends Word to War De-
partnlent Not to Dispntch More
Soldiers to Puerto Rico.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The secretary
Of war has stopped the dispatch OF
further reenforcements to Puerto
Rico. Gen. Miles reported by cable
that the force at his command was
ample for the purpose of completing
the conquest of the island. This leaves
all of Gen. Wade's provisional corps, of
IS regiments, still in the United States.
1t is believed that all of Gen. Wilson'S
division, except the Third kentucky
and Fifth Illinois, have already sailed,
and they will be allowed to proceed.
The two regiments above named are at
Newport News, and will be detained
there until the department has ar
ranged for their further detail.
There are six brigades under the
command of Gen. Wade. The First
brigade is composed of the First Rhode
Island, Fourth Missouri and Twenty
second New York; the Second brigade
of the First North Carolina, First Ala
bama and First Arkansas; the Third
brigade of the First New Hampshire
First Vermont and Fifty-second Iowa /;
the Fourth brigade of the First New
Jersey, First West Virginia and Third
Virginia; the Fifth brigade of the Sec
ond Texas, First Connecticut and First
Delaware; the Sixth brigade of the
First Maine, Third Tennessee and First
Maryland. None of the troops under
Gen. Wade's command have yet
started. The department was not ac.
curately informed as to which of Will
sons troops would be held up under
this new order, but it is believed the
Fifth Illinois, which has been four
times disappointed by the revocation
of orders to the front, is among those
which have not yet gone on board the
transports.

is days.

John Kelly, past 80 years old, wan
dered into police headquarters the 9TH
er day looking for advice as to the
proper method of disposing of II bank
books, representing SOS, 900 deposits and
$4,000 accumulated interest, which he
carried in his hand.
They belonged to Patrick Fay, who
died at the Carney hospital. Fay was
one of the old-time hotel walters of Bos-
ton. In the course of his long life
he was about so years old when he
died, and until about 70 years old had
been actively employed-he had
amassed fortune. He lived at Tyler
street as bachelor, had no relatives
and was an absolutely lonely man. Of
frugal disposition, all he knew of
financiering was that it was good
policy to put as much as he could into
the savings bank.
He confided to his old friend Kelly
that he had saved all the money he re-
ceived in tips for so years, and when he
realized his days were numbered he
made will, leaving all his property to
Carney hospital, the Little Sisters Of
the Poor, the home for destitute chill
dren, and four other Catholic charitable
institutions.
He intrusted his bank books to Kelly,
who says he formed Fay $ acquaintance
while enjoying sun bath on settee
in the park nine years ago. Kelly told
the police that Fay wanted him to re-
ceive all his property, but as he had
enough of his own TO care for him
through life he persuaded him to make
a will leaving it to public charities.
When Judge Fallon, the public adj
ministrator of Fay's estate, and another
lawyer called upon him for the bank
books he refused to surrender them
until satisfied about his legal rights,
and he said, in commenting upon law
yers: They're all robbers" Upon the
advice of the police he turned the bank
books over later

tor band of carving around the base OF
the die and band of stars under the
cornice, the sculptor having devoted more
time and study to the simplicity and har-
mony of its outline than to ford elabora-

design is one of elaboration, owing to Its
