WASHINGTON. Aug s.-Although as
yet without official confirmation of the
report from Paris that tine SPANS h
government has decided to accept the
terms laid down 10y the United States
as essential 10 the negotiation of a
treaty of peace the officials here are
proceeding under the conviction that
the end has come and are giving atten-
uon TO the steps TO be taken next In
view of the delay in coming to this
conclusion the idea was beginning to
prevail that the Spanish governme n t
was about TO enter a plea in abate-
ment and that the answer would again
be inconclusive. In this case the
president was disposed to deal firmly
with the issue; to give notice that our
proposals were withdrawn, and TO let
it be understood that when Spain
again sued for peace the con.
ditions would be more severe
than those first laid down. IL the
Spanish answer should embody ar eff
fort to secure any material change in
the conditions it will meet with promp,
rejection. Some reference has been
, made in the dispatches of British
newspapers to a desire on the part of
the Spanish government to include in
the preliminary agreement a clause
exempting it from liability for
the Cuban debt The formal state.
ment of the points of the United
States notes given out from the white
house made no reference to this sub
ject and ii can not be known as yet
whether or not the full text shows
anything more. But presuming that
no reference whatever is made to the
Cuban debt, it is possible the subject
may be regarded as one that should be
treated by the peace commissioners,
who are TO meet later to for the treaty,
which, of course, will embody
many details that are left un.
touched in the main proposition.
though cabinet officers have author.
