Washington. Aug. 9.-More than
twenty -four hours after 1t had begun TO
reach Washington the Spanish note. In
answer to the Presidents peace condi-
tons, was presented at the White
House by the French ambassador.
What the nature of the answer was can
only he cOnjectured at this stage, the
secretary of state at the conclusion Of
the conference making the formal
statement that nothing whatever could
be said on the subject.
The conference lasted an hour and
twenty five minutes This prolonged
discussion was believed to indicate
that the Spanish answer was not sntis-
factory In all respects, though In just
what points 1t fell short OF meeting the
expectations OF the President ii is i'm
possible to say. 1t was felt by the OBJ
servers that had the answer been a
complete acceptance OF our terms. the
result would have been made public.
On the other hand. 1t would be II
strained Inference to conclude that the
answer was unsatisfactory entirely. for
In that case. according to the Presi-
dents statement heretofore made. his
offer would have been definitely with
drawn and war resumed with greater
energy than before.
The outcome OF the conference is un-
known. but the best opinion obtain
able is that the matter is still open. that
Ambassador Cambon will report 10
Spain the results of his efforts and the
desires of this government. and that
another reply from Spain as to some de
tails will be necessary 10 final conclu-
sion.
There Were just four parties TO the
conference. Prcsiden, Mckinley and
Secretary Day on the side Of the Unit
ed States, and NJ. Cambon. the French
ambassador, and his first secretary of
legation. NJ. Thiebaut, presenting the
case OF Spain.
