SPAIN MEANS BUSINESS.
So Says the Madrid Correspondent
of the London Times

of the London Times.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Times says:
'"The promptitude with which the
Spanish cabinet accepted the terms on
receipt Of the American explanations,
shows that it does not desire to waste
time in dilatory procedure. The time
when direct negotiations will begin is
rather doubtful-probably because the
cabinet Is inclined to act scrupulously
in accordance with the letter and spirit
Of the constitution, and the best author
tiles disagree in the Interpretation of
the constitutional law It Is believed
that direct negotiations will first occur
in Paris"

Peace Answer Is Indirect.
MADRID, Aug. 8.-The Liberal this
morning says: The government ac-
cepts the United States conditions, ad
referendum, believing that it is not au-
thorized to cede territory without the
vote Of the cortes. If Mckinley OBJ
jects, the cortes will be convoked this
month. A fresh note from President
Mckinley, replying to Spain's reply, is
expected during the course Of this
week. Continuing, the Liberal express
es the opinion that certain passages
Of Spain's reply may lead to an ex-
change Of cable messages Of a critical
nature, possibly creating fresh difficult
ties"
