For this reason there was a disposition in official quarters to know what terms were in sight before entering upon general negotiations. A prominent administration official said, after talk ing with cabinet officers, that, in his opinion, tlie situation was not materi ally changed by the Spanish proposi tion, and that the war would lie press ed with unabatcil vigor until something more tangible in the way of peace terras was at hand. Neither was there from tlie Spanish government that armistice be established, pending the peace negotiatious. it seemed natural, however, from the proposition that formal peace negotiations he entered upon, that, pending their conclusion, ' any suggestion an cessation of hostilities would •cur.
