ROW OVER THE ACCOUNTS
Longshoremen's Association
Hold a Very Lively
Meeting.

| The meeting of the Longshoremenss AS
sociation, Branch No. Z. held in Union
Hall. Grove and Fourth streets, last even
| ing. was a very lengthy and lively one.
The only business transacted was the dis
cussion of the shortage of $4,000 and the
responsibility of the general financial sec
retary.
The Longshoremens Union has seven
teen branches in. the United States and
they are distributed throughout New
York, Brooklyn, Baltimore and Jersey
City. Branch No. I was organized in 1886
and has an exceedingly large membership.
The trouble began when Mr. Sullivan.
the treasurer of Branch No. I, sent SIS to
the financial secretary and failed to re-
ceive a receipt for the amount he sent.
The members of No. Z became suspicious
and they ordered an investigation of the
books. The secretary left town and has
not been heard of ince.
Edward McIugh the general president,
was present last evening to try and get
the members of Branch No. Z to keep
together and not disband, which a num-
Der of the members think will be the
outcome OF 1t all. While Mr., McHugh
was explaining the shortage matter he
started to ridicule Mr.. Sullivan for not
sending a check for the amount deposit
ed by him for Branch No. instead of
the money.
The trouble then began, and it looked
as If there would be a rob, but some
of the cool-headed ones finally preserved
order and tMcHugh continued his speech.

cials here to give him time for this diff
cult and delicate moulding Of public and
political sentiment up to the point Of an
acceptance of the American demands
This view is strengthened among Off
cials here by the fact that all our war
preparations are going steadily forward,
the campaign in Porto Rico is progress
ing with uninterrupted success, the hands
OF Admiral Dewey and General Merritt
are being strengthened at Manila, and
the conditions at Santiago. SO serious
when the American Generals united in
their statement, is being promptly and
energetically overcome For this reason
it is felt that delay is the loss of Spain,
and that Sagasta, in the interest Of his
own country, win make the answer as
speedily as internal conditions will permit.
If the Madrid dispatches are fully re-
allied by acceptance of the. American
terms then the authorities feel that moth
ing remains but the routine of concluding
he formaiities of peace. In some quar-
ters apprehension is expressed as to the
word ''acceptance'' 1t is pointed out
thatif the acceptance is simply an afIirma-
tive on all the American peace terms
every chance for delay or negotiations is
at an end
But if the acceptance is qualified in any
way by condition that certain privileges
be granted or rights conceded then there
is still the possibility of further discus
sion. The Madrid advices are SO unquali-
fed in stating that the American terms
are accepted that there seems to be little
chance that Spain will attach any con-
ditions to her acceptance, and yet only the
answer itself, final, unconditional and
conclusive, can make it clear that the last
chance of controversy is removed.
There will be little surprise here if the
culmination of the peace arrangement
brings about change in the Spanish
Cabinet, not sos much by crisis. as by
a concerted movement among the leaders
to institute a cabinet representating all
elements, including the army, capable of
taking the responsibility before the coun-
try of the acceptance of the American
terms

WASHINGTON WATTS.
Neither the State Depart
ment Nor Ambassador
Cambon Has Heard
From Madrid.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6. ls9S.-It can be
stated definitely and positively that no
word of Spains final action on Americas s
peace terms had been received up to noon
at the State Department or the French
Embassy.
The answer of Spain to the American
terms on which peace may be restored
was expected almost any moment in Of
ffclal circles today. and the brief press
dispatches from Madrid stating that the
answer was an acceptance, increased the
tension over what was looked upon as
the elimination of the negotiations. Dur
ing the early hours of the day the State
Department had not received any direct
information as to Spain's answer, nor was
there any intimation when it would come.
The same was true as to the French
Embassy. The Ambassador had made no
arrangement for a call at the White
House or the State Department, and
none of the officers Of the Embassy had
discussion of last Wednesday night. Ev-
erything was in condition of waiting
and expectancy. The report from Madrid
that cabinet council would go over the
reply this afternoon indicated that it
might not be despatched to Washington
until late in the day.
Secretary Day had expected to go to
Atlantic City this evening. to join Mrs.
Day. and he may even vet carry ont this
reaches him from the French Embassy
that the reply will be forthcoming to-
night A report was current during the
day that the Embassy received a com
munication at an early hour this morn
ing, the inference being that it was
Spain's reply, but this, it can be stated
positively is not correct, for up to mid
day Spain had given no official intima-
tion Of her answer to any quarter in
Washington.
The fact that the Spanish cabinet will
go over the reply this afternoon raises a
possibility Of a cabinet discussion and a
pAslongation of the time before the an
swer is submitted. All the Madrid re-
ports show that Premier Sagasta is en-
deavoring TO reconcile the various politi-
cal elements and leaders as far as possi-
bie and there is a disposition among ofia-
