MADRID, Aug. S.-The cabinet coun.
Gil yesterday completely approved the
reply to the United States, which, it is
said, accepts the American conditions.
The reply will be telegraphed to
Seror Leon y Castillo, the Spanish am
bassador to France, so that NJ. Cambon,
the French ambassador at Washington
will likely receive it today.
The government is fully convinced
that the note will be satisfactory to the
Washington government and that q
suspension of hostilities will be its inn
mediate consequence.
1t is reported that Duke Almodovar
de Rio, the minister of foreign affairs
and Monsignor Merry del Val, Spanish
Ambassador to the vatican, will be Sc
lected to represent spain in the negotia
tions.
The newspapers make no comments OIL
the situation, owing to the strictness Of
the censorship.
According to the most reliable sources
of information the Spanish note /:
couched in dignifed language. 1t as
serts that Spain bows to the force Of
| circumstances, having done nothing tC
provoke the war into which she ha!
been unwilingly led in the defense oi
her rights and territory.
1t expresses a willingness to appoin
delegates TO meet the American com
missioners to discuss a regime for tht
Philippines.
1t is understood that both Senor Sa
gasta and Duke Almodovar de Rio, tn
foreign minister, told the queen regen
that they felt deeply the painful dut.
circumstances imposed upon them.
LONDON, Aug. S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Daily Mail, telegraph
ing Sunday, says:
THE answer of the Spanish govern
ment declares that Spain cannot discus
the American proposals, but only &C
cepts them because they are imposet
upon her by force. A few unessentia
changes in the American demands wer
asked for and it is not expected Pres
dent Mckinley will refuse them"
