1t IL Expected That sp.,, WIN Sinh

Washington, Aug. 6,-There woa an
expectation at the state department
yesterday that perhaps toward the
close OF the afternoon soma word
might be received from Spain through
the French ambassador in replv tn the
presidents deliverance Wednesday
upon the subject OF peace conditions.
This expectation was based upon the
ract that the terms themselves had
not been modified in any essential con.
dition. SO that there was no necessity
TO prolong discussion by the Spanish
cabinet, which was supposed to have
thoroughly considered this matter be-
fore rendering the first reply How
ever, II was. perceived from the news
dispatches that the Madrid cabinet
meeting had been incOnclusiye. so II
was expected that nothing definite
could be known by noon at the earli-
est. There Is a confident belief among
administration officials that the Span
ish cabinet may accept the terms laid
down by the president and not delay.
but it may be opposed by the Spanish
foreign policy, which would not coun-
tenance acceptance without a show OF
resistance in hope OF Il change of
the terms. This. of course, cannot be
accomplished. and the French ambas-
sador is we'll aware OF that fact: IN
questiOnably he has so Informed the
Spanish cabinet. and the government
is no doubt preparing itself to meet
the criticism of its political opponents
by submitting counter proposition
through NJ. CambOn. While negOtia-
tons are going on. war preparations
are also being made. Gen. Randall
was assigned only yesterday to com
mand the military camp at Montauk
Point. Navy department officials also
insist that no change has been made
In the orders to the Watson expedition.
Indeed. there now seems 10 be evident
a purpose to dispatch this fine squad
ron to European waters regardless OF
the termination of the war, the idea
being that the splendid display which
would be made by the American ships
would have a beneficial effect in in
spring respect for our naval strength.

rather sharp rebuke from the secre-

being calculated to injure discipline,

motives. 1t is only fair to state that
the war department for some time
has been intent upon removing the

Points for Popplists,

In the February 18th issue OF the

squib, reading something like this :
/ ''From q private SOURCE we le~rn
that the citizens Of Grangeville have
raised sufficient money for sub
scription to build the cutoff from

will reduce the distance TO Florence
about two miles, besides making y
far better grade up the mountain"
Said sauib then mentions what q
commendable move this is and how
it will evidently be appreciated by
the camp.
In the FIRST place. this comes from
q PRIVATE source. Now, very likely,
