••He has to examine very miutely the ex
igencies of the internal situation and home
politics, so as to avoid popular dissatisfac
tion and political-unrest. The Spanish peo
ple, though sincerely desirous of peace, are
disposed to admire this hesitancy and ten»

aware that" It implies greater sacrifices.

The Madrid correspondent of the Dally
News says:
The government has not yet answered the
American ncrte nor received President's Mc-
Klnley's reply to the explanations asked
tor by Senor Sagasta. The premier laid
today that the government would reply to
the American demands early next week.
In consulting the party leaders. Sagasta
Is following the precedent of Castelar
when the Virginius affair threatened war
with the United States. It is not probable
that he will resign as a result of the con
ferences.
The premier Is Inclined to rush the treaty
through without convokinig tne cortes,
trusting to get a bill of indemnity next
month, but the party leaders are not likely
to consent to this course.

will be observed.
It Is announced from Havana that th*

Still Undecided
MADRID, Aug. 4t S p. m —The consulta

Of the chambers and other prominent per
sons are described as being)of a really na
tional character with a view of ascertain
ing the views of all parties. The govern
ment has not yet entered upon an agree
ment regarding terms for concluding the
war with the United States. The cabinet
will follow the advice of the party leaders
and will leave to the crown the liberty of
choosing new advisers.
All the leaders consulted thus far have
observed the strictest reserve, with the ex
ception of Senor Romero y Robledo, the
leader of the Weyierlte party, who declares
himself In favor of continuing the war.
The queen regent has summoned several
generals for consultation.
La Correspondencia de Espana says the

No Signs of Peace
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—There was an
expectation at the state department that
perhaps towards the close of the afternoon
some word might he received froml Spain,
through the French ambassador, in reply
to the president's deliverances yesterday
upon the subject of peace conditions. Thi*
expectation was based upon the fact that
the terms themselves had not been modi
fied In any essential point; that there was
little occasion for prolonged discussion by
the Spanish cabinet, which was presumed
to have thoroughly considered this matter
before rendering the first reply.
However, it wus perceived from the news
dispatches that the Madrid cabinet meet
ing had been Inclusive, so it was then pre
sumed that nothing definite could be ex
pected before tomorrow noon at the earliest.
There Is a confident belief among the ad
ministration officials that the Spanish gov
ernment will accept the terms laid down by
the president and with only a delay of a
day or two In recognizing the Inevitable,
which is to be accounted for by reason of
Spanish Internal politics, which would not
countenance an unresisting submission
without at least a display of purpose to im
prove the terms.
This, however, cannot be accomplish-'id,
ond the French ambassador, who Is well
aware of that fact, unquestionably has su
Informed the Spanish government, through
that government has preserved Its record
in good form to meet criticism of Its polit
ical opponents by submitting the counter
proposition presented yesterday by M.
Cambon to the president.
Watson and Wade's Expeditions
Meanwhile preparations for the Wade ex
pedition go on steadily, a number of general
officers being today ordered to attach them
selves thereto, among them being General
Randail, who was assigned only yesterday
to command the new military camp at Mon
tauk point.
Navy department officials also Insist thnt
no change has been made in the orders to
Watson's squadron. Indeed, there seems to
be now evident a purpose to dispatch this
fine squadron to European waters regard
less of the termination of the war, the idea
being that the splendid display which will
be made by the American ships will have a
beneficial effect, in inspiring respect for our
naval strength.
Patiently Waiting
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—The United
States government Is now waiting to hear
again from Spain, and this time It is ex
pected the answer will be final. Firmly,
but courteously, the President has declined
the earnest appeal of the French Ambassa
dor to modify the United States' demands,
except ln slight and comparatively unim
portant respects. There Is no doubt that
the peace negotiations are progressing to
the entire satisfaction of the President and
the members of the Cabinet. A statement
to that effect was made today by a high
official of the administration, who express
ed the belief that'within a very short time
there would be a complete cessation of hos
tilities. The conference yesterday after
neon at the White House, ln which the
President, M. Cambon and Secretary Day
participated, was devoted almost entirely
to a discussion of details which are re
tarded by the President as unimportant,
• Aguinaldo. the leader of the Philippine Insurgents, has Issued a foolish proclamation making himself dictator, and •
• naming the official insignia of himself and his new cabinet. He Is to wear a gold co liar, with a sun and three stars, and •
• carry a gold whistle.—NHv YorkF.vcnlng Journal. m
and hence the requests of the French Am
bassador for the most part will be acceded
to. One of these was that the commission
to be appointed to settle the terms of peace
shall meet outside the United States, and
preferably In France. The President sees
no material objection to granting this re
quest, and It is said to be practically set
tled that the conference will be held ln
Paris. The Madrid government, through
M. Cambon. propounded a number of ques
tions as to the time when Spain would be
expected to evacuate Cubn and the terri
tory to be ceded to the United States, and as
to what provision would be made by th»
United States to protect the interests of
Spanish subjects. M. Cambon was Informed
upon all of these points, presumably to his
satisfaction.
There Is one point, however, which the
'Spanish authorities. Judging from their
communication to their representative here,
fail fully to comprehend, and Secretary
Day's call upon the Ambassador last night
was for the purpose, apparently, of mak
ing perfectly clear this one point, which
w:is the evacuation of Cuba. Porto Rico, and
one of the I.adrone Islands, to be settled by
the United States, and the permanent ces
sion to this government of all these Islands,
except Cuba, was made, a condition prece
dent to all peace negotiations, and that not
until these terms had been fully compiled
with would this government consent to
enter into any pence proposition whatever
This very important condition does not, it
Is said, seem to be really comprehended by
the Madrid authorities, and It was with the
view to setting them straight upon this
point that Secretary Day made his cai'.
upou M. Cambon last eight. The ques
tions upon which the Spanish government
has so far asked for additional Informa
tion are regarded by the administration as
perfectly legitimate nnd proper, and up to
this time nothing has occurred to bring
ln question the sincerity of their motives.
Under these circumstances It Is the purpose
of the President to deal with them in a
spirit of perfect falrn t ss. and to make the
road to peace as smooth for them as the
rights and dignity of this government will
permit, and to this end unimportant con
cessions will be readily granted.
It was late last night before the conces
sions of the President regarding the meet
ing place of the p-ace commissioners was
communicated to the Madrid authorities,
so that allowing for the difference in time,
it is Impossible for an answer to have bee-n
received this morning. However, It Is ex
pected that the delay will not be long,
probably at the most no more than a day
or two, and that the answer when it comes
will be found to be an unconditional ac
ceptance of the terms as they now s'.and.
There does not seem to be occasion for
further prolonged consideration in Madrid
before making this reply, inasmuch as the
propositions that confront the Spanish
Cabinet are practically the same as those
with which they dealt at the prolonged
meetings Sunday and Monday.
The French Ambassador was not disap
pointed In the result of his meeting with
the President yesterday. He realized that
the Spanish plea for an abatement of the
conditions would be useless, so far as it
touches the vital points of tho demand.
He undoubtedly reached that conviction
at the second Interview, when the Presi
dent, ln going over with him the terms be
proposed as a basis for peace, had im
pressed strongly upon him the determina
tion of our government not Indulge in hag
gling for advantage, not to be equipped
with two sets of terms, maximum and
minimum conditions, and to lay at once
the propositions that the United States
deemed to be fair and just as a basis for
peace, and having done so t.-> adhere to
them rtrmly. so far ns all matters of prin
ciple was concerned. But the Ambassa
dor felt that it was his duty, regardless nf
his personal convictions, to lay the plea of
the Spanish government before the Presi
dent, and that la what yesterday's meet
ing amounted to. Now. wTth the Sparusn
government assured that no further modi
fications can be expected, there Is nothing
remaining but an acceptance of the terms
outright or a rejection without debate,
which is not expected.
Something has been said about an effort
on the part nf the Spanish government to
secure some guarantee from the United
States thnt the lives and property of Span
ish citizens ln conquered territory shall
be cared for. The Idea nf the administra
tion is that no such pledge or guarnntee is
necessary. Assuming sovereignty over
conquered territory and exercising it
either through civil administration, as will

be the case in Porto Rico, or through mili
tary Governorship, as will be the case in
Cuba for an indefinite time, the United
Slates assumes a strict obligation to pro
tect the lives, Interests and property of
all citizens of all neutral nations, and It
must be remembered that when a treaty
of peace is signed the citizens of Spain,
now enemies, will fall in that category.
A Long Conference
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4—A long confer
ence between the President and Secretary-
Day ami Secretary Long was held this fore
noon. Secretary Day, when he Joined the
President after the latter had been con
ferring with the Secretary of the Navy for
three-quarters of an hour, looked worn and
fatigued as a consequence of a night con
ference with the French Ambassador. They
were together going over the peace propo
sitions, and It was 1 o'clock this morning
before the conference ended.
Secretary Day, it may be said, has full
conildence that there will be little serious
delay and bickerings over the closing of
the details of peace. A fortnight ago he
was disposed to fear Spanish procrastina
tion and haggling over details. Today he
expressed the opinion personally that he
believed there was no longer danger on that
score, and said that the policy seemed to
have been abandoned under stress ot cir
cumstances. This expression goes to con
firm other indications that peace Is near at
hand. Those who have gone over the ground
and conferred with the officials express
belief that the outcome of peace is nearly
attained. One administration public man.
who talked with the President and others
today, predicted that a prailmlnary agree
ment which would practically settle the war
would be effected within a week.
Senators and Representatives are becom
ing more numerous, many of them returning
here from their homes on various political
mtsslons.
Foreign Diplomats Interested in the
Negotiations
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—Baron Speck
Yon Sternberg, ln charge of the German
Embassy in the absence of Ambassador Yon
Holleben, was at the State Department
today conferring with the officials. The
German authorities, and, indeed, all the
foreign representatives here are naturally
groatly interested ln the progress of the
peace negotiations, and are keeping their
government fully advised of the various
stages. But while there is this natural and
material Interest, there has been no move
to take any part in the negotiations, or
to exercise an Influence ln the results. Neith
er Is there any apparent anxiety on the part
of other European powers In the choice of
the French Ambassador to conduct the
negotiations on behalf of Spain. The Brit
ish Embassy officials are still absent from
the city, and so far as can be learned, have
shown no activity whatever in connection
with the peace negotiations. The Italian
Ambassador, Baron Fava, is here and has
kept himself posted on the recent develop
ments. The Austrian and Russian Ambass
adors are out of the city. Monsignor Marti
nelll, the Papal delegate, has also kept
himself informed on the status of the peace
negotiations. On all hands 1t seems to be
conceded that M. Cambon is best qualified
to act as spokesman for Spain, as the In
terests of Spain were Intrusted to his care
at the time diplomatic relations were sev
ered.
THE SOUTHERN CONTINENT
South American Republicans Cannot
Agree
MANAGUA, Nicaragua, July 16.—The
convention of deputies from Salvador,
Honduras and Nicaragua is still being hold
daily. The committee appointed to report
on articles for the constitution of the
State submitted to it by the Diet of the
Greater K. public, under whose call It met,
has reported many modifications. It also
has suggested a centralization of the
States In question, having a federul dis
trict composed of part of the civil depart
ments of Ohinandanga, bordering on the
Pacitlc Const, and the Gulf of Fonseca in
Nicaragua; of Amapala, bordering on the
Gulf of Fonsoon in Honduras, and of Ll
mon, bordering on the Pacific and the Gulf
of Fonseca, ln Salvador, with Amapala.

WATCHING PEACE
favored a confederation of the three States
under the name of "United States of Cen
tral America."
Evidence cf a serious division developed
when the delegates reachpd the decision of
the question as to whether there should be
an executive consisting of a tribunal of
threo persons or only one person. The
Nlearaguuns in the convention are all in
favor of President Zelaya of Nicaragua
b.-lng the lirst executive of the proposed
confederation and having full control of
arms, ammunition and other war material
and the soldiers of Salvador. Honduras
and Nicaragua. The newspapers of the
other States, however, protest against tho
selection of President Ze&aya as the head
of the confederation, and they are full of
bitter articles, charging him with serious
mismanagement due to dictatorial rule
and the changing nf the condition of Nica
ragua from peace and prosperity to bank
ruptcy. The papers nl=o accuse President
Zelaya of inhuman nets against thousands
of native Nlcarnguans of wealth and intel
ligence who have opposed his administra
tion. The President's friends are about to
issue a circular ln defense of his govern
ment of Nicaragua and thus, by noticing
the charges against him and endeavoring
to combat them, are deepening the bitter
antagonism displayed toward him, nnd this
will probably result in the disrupting of the
convention without formulating a consti
tution.
The adverse feeling entertained by the
ol<l natives against the people cf the
United States because of the war with
Spain continties to be expressed. A ma
jority of the young men, however, favor
the Americans.
