will accept Spain's answer, w hich will

Tuesday. As a eoncjueee of the United
tStutes accepting the reply, hostilities
will immediately afterwards be sus

terms was only submitted to the queen

approval Saturday of the American de
mands are necessarily without founda
t ion.
From a well-Informed source it is
learned that while the answer does
not discuss the four bases which the
United States makes an esssentlal pre
liminary toSicex, ami which Spain
accepts withotiTrervntion, it points
out that in order to avoid the defini
tive negotiations being1 in any way
complicated by incidents of the war,
it is expected to agree beforehand to
suspension of hostilities. It Is re
ported that Duke Almodovnr de Rio,
the minister of foreign affairs, and
Monsignor Morry del Val, Spanish nm
Itnssndor to the Vatican, will be se
lected to represent Spain in the nego
tiations. The newspapers make no
comments on the situation owing to
the strictness of the censorship.

Convinced That War la Knded.
Washington, Aug. 8. Although as
3-et without oflicial confirmation of the
report that the Spanish government
has decided to accept the terms laid
down by the United States as essential
to the negotiation of a treaty of
peace, the officials here are proceed-
ng under the conviction that the end
has come and are giving attention to
he steps to be taken iiuxL
Future Mtepa'.
- Should the Spanish answer be an
unconditional acceptance of our terms
ome negotiation may be necessary to
igree upon the steps to be taken to
give effect to the agreement. So far
as can Imj learned it has not yet been
letermlned how this shall be done.
There are two ways open. The first Is
a military capitulation by A he captain
cr.eral of Cuba and. Puerto Rico,
which will immediately place the
American military or navul com
manders in technical occupation of
he islands, and enable them to carry
out in their own way and in their own
hue the embarkation of the-Spanish
armies in the islands. The question as
o whether they shall be permitted to
arry off their arms is not now as
naterial as it was in the case of the
surrender of Gen. Toral's forces at
Santiago, where occurring in the
midst of the campaign there was a !
necessity for securing the moral effect
of compelling the Spanish soldiers to
lay down -their arms. Spain having
succumbed it might be urged that the
United States might grant a conces
sion on this point to Spanish pride
without fear of having the aetion at
tributed to fear of the consequence
of a refusal. This would not upplj
however, to tho volunteers wh might
elect to remain in Cuba, as it would not
be prudent to allow so large a body of
men to carry arms w ithout restraint in
the days of reconstruction, when deli
cate and difficult matters of internal
policy are to be settled and new meth
ods applied to the government of the
islands.
The second method by which the pre
liminary peace agreement might bo
formally effected would be by a proto
col to be signed by a representative of
the president, probably Secretary Day
in this case, and by M. Cninbon in be
half of the Spanish government. It
was by just such an agreement a this,
known as the Cushing protocol, that
war was averted as a result of the Vir
ginius affair.' This course having the
weight of precedent, may be adopted in
this case. It Is probable that in the
Philippines the greatest difficulty will
be met In putting the agreement into
effect on account of the attitude of the
insurgents, but (Jen. Merrltt is now
gaining in strength dnily, and probably
will le in position to meet any emer

Medina of War.
Washington, Aug. 8. Oflicial tables
on the total killed and wounded on
each side since war was declared have
not been compiled, and probably will
not be for months yet. From the best
sources obtainable the tables will ap
proximate the following ligures:
t Manila:
American killed
American wounded 5
Rpanfeh killed SM
Spanish wounded 623
Vt Santiago:
American killed or afterward died of
wounds received In battle 2rA
American wounded , 1,2X7
Spanish killed 1,350
Spanish wounded 2,000
The Americans subsequently lost In Cuba
from yellow fever and camp dlsesss. so far
as can be told now, 202.
In other Cuban engagements: Americans
killed, 35; Americans wounded. 114: Spanish
killed, So0; Spanish wounded, 400.
Total American killed or died. 603: wound
ed, 1,408. Total Spanish killed or died, 2,200;
wounded, 3,025.
No attempt is made in the American
list of dead to include those who died
in camp after the mobilisation of the
state troops and volunteers. These
number scores, but the oflicial tables
must bo awaited before they can be
given accurately. At the worst, the
total Anerican dead will not exceed
700.

Washington, Aug. 5. Upon being In
formed of the formal request made by
the commanding generals of the Amer

men removed Immediately to the

ing the movements of the war depart
ment in fetching Shatter's army away
from Santiago, though in his disregard
of the conventionalities he has drawn

from the secretary of war, who evi
dently regards the course pursued by
Col. Roosevelt as being calculated to
injure discipline, though inspired by
tho most worthy motives.

Itig a capacity of 1,000 men. In all
