Accept Our Reply.
Madrid, Aug. 11.-The queen regent
presided at the cabinet meeting Thurs
day morning. Premier Sagasta and
the other ministers, on emerging from
the palace, explained that while they
had not yet received the full text OF
Presidents AIcKinley's reply, they had
received an announcement from the
French foreign office that covered the
case. The presidents answer, how
ever, was then being transmitted to
the Spanish government.
At the same time, it is known that
the Spanish ministers are perfectly ac.
quainted with the principal points of
the United States reply, and that the
ministers are ready to accede to them.
NJ. Cambon to Sign Protocol.
London, Aug. 11.-All the advces re-
ceived here throughout the day from
Madrid show the correspondents arc
certain that NJ. Cambon, the French
ambassador at Washington will re-
ceiye authority Thursday evening to
sign the protocol.
Senior Sagasta's statements, made
earlier in the day, must in no way be
regarded as affecting the general sit
uation, but as simply being an effort
to make the Spaniards believe the
United States has made some conces-
sions.
Await Spain's Reply.
Washington, Aug. 11s-Little eS-
pectation was entertained of the re
ceipt of the Spanish answer to the
latest proposition Thursday. Because
the negotiations have narrowed down
to point where theJSpanish answer,
If affirmative, as expected, would
simply bestow upon the French am
bassador the authority to sign the pro
tocol, and can be returned in very few
words. it was thought by some an an
swer might come during the day. "a
very few persons believed the answer
would be received during the day, but
the majority, basing their judgment
on the well-known procrastinatioh OF
