SANCTION OFTHE CORTES
Necessary For the Cession of Any Span.
ish Territory-Its Convoca-
ton Necessary.

London, Aug. 8.-The Madrid corre-
spondent OF The Times says: "All the
best authorities agree that the govern
ment has decided to accept the Ameri-
can conditions. The answer of the
Spanish government declares that
Spain cannot discuss the American
proposals, but only accepts them, be-
cause they are imposed on her by force.
Only a few unessential changes in the
American demands We're asked for and
It Is not expected that President Nc
Kinley will refuse them.
Though the king. according to the
constitution, has the right to declare
war and make peace, any cession of
national territory requires the sanction
OF the cortes, and any minister con-
senting to such cession without this
sanction is liable, according to the
penal code, to Imprisonment for life. II
will be necessary, therefore, to convoke
the cortes some time before the treaty
of peace is ratified. but the government
has not yet decided at what stage of
the proceedings this necessary formal
ity will be observed"

Madrid. Aug. s.-Senor sagasta. the
premier, has just concluded his con-
ference with the queen regent. Her
majesty approves the general lines Of
the reply of Spain to Americas peace
terms, which Senior Sagasta explained
to her.
The cabinet council terminated after
having completely approved the reply
to the United States, which, It is said,
accepts the American conditions. The
reply was telegraphed to Senior Leon y
Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to
France, last niPht, so that NJ. Cam
bon, the French ambassador at Wash
ington, will receive 1t today.
The government believes that the
United States will accept Spalns an
swer, which will certainly reach the
White House by tomorrow. AS a con-
sequence Of the United States accept
ing the reply hostilities will immcdi-
ately afterwards be suspended.
AS the reply to the American terms
was only submitted to the queen regent
yesterday, all the reports of her ap-
proval Saturday of the American de-
mands are necessarily without founda-
ton
1t is reported that Duke Almodavar
de Rio. the minister of foreign affairs,
and Monseignor Merry del Val, Span
ish ambassador to the Vatican, will
be selected to represent Spain in the
negotiations.
According to the most reliable
sources of information the Slanish
note is couched in dignfled language
1t asserts that Spain bows to the force
of circumstances, having done moth
ing to provoke the war, into which she
has been unwillingly led in the defense
of her rights and territories. 1t ex-
presses willingness to appoint dele
gates to meet the American commits
sioners to discuss a regime for the
Philippines. 1t is understood that
both Senior Sagasta and Duke Almo-
davar de Rio, the foreign minister
told the queen regent that they felt
deeply the painful circumstances i'm
posed upon them.

THE sILvERITEs.

Those Democrats who adhere to the Chi
cago platform, and who are in anything but
an amcable mind because of the "perRdy,
of the Democrats in control of the county
| convention, are more determined than even
to have an opportunity of voting their
principles in November, and they realize
that the only way they can do that is to
nominate ticket upon a platform similar to
that adopted at the district convention in
MahanOy City, and which endorses
William Jennings Bryan. A number of
these Democrats were in confer
ence this morning, but none of them would
talk for publication. 1t was learned, how
ever, that the movement to nominate third
ticket meets with much favor at the hands of
the party voters.
1t will be remembered that at
the last conference held by the silyerites
a resolution was adopted designating
a number of prominent party workers
to issue call for a convention. 1t is ex-
pected that these gentlemen will meet in
Pottsylle this week. probably on Friday,
when the call will likely be issued. Little
can be learned as to the probable nominees,

ANIMAL ODDITIES.

Most spiders have eight eyes although
some species have only six.
The horse when grazing is guided en-
trely by the nostrils in the choice of proper
food, and blind horses are never known to
make mistake s in their diet.
Among birds there are few better fighters
than goose, or a gander more particu-
larly. The Ragged white Russian geese
bite ferocously. 1t is no more peck with
them; they bite and hang on with all the
tenacity of a bulldog.
The tongue of the cat family are covered
with recurring spines. In the common do
nestle cat these are small, but sufficiently
well developed to give the tongue feeling
of rouehness. But in the lion and tiger
the spines are strong enough to enable the
animal to tear away the skin of mans
hand merely by licking it.
