A* to Don Curios.
Strong pressure Is being brought to
heur on Don Curios which probably
will force him to act Immediately.
Three Cartiat chiefs from Spain are to
arris.*' at Lucerne tomorrow. It la
known that jhry will declare It to be
Impossible (o held bark Don Carlos’
followers In Spain any longer. They
hare been awaiting the eigaal to rise
and ran not nntWstand Don Carloi’ de
lay. His riiiefs all urge artion.
Much Interest Aroused.
Washington. I> C.. Aug. 3. —Reports
from Madrid by way of London stating
that Spain bad determined upon an an
swer to the demands of the United
States and that an answer had been
sent or was i nronte to \t ashlnglon had
the effect of arousing the moat lively
Interest In all the official quarters to
day. While the reports are uroeptfl
as showing the undoubted tendency of
the Spanish government for peace and
will likely lie borne In the near future
by the formal response of Madrid, yet
It ran be stated positively that so far
the Cnlted State* government ha* re
ceived no answer from Strain nor hn*
the French embassy received the an
swer which will be communicated to
the authorities here. ,
Mistake Somewhere.
It I* apparent from this answer that
the answer could not have been sent
■from Madrid Monday, a* stated In some
of the foreign reports. A misapprehen
sion doubtless arises from the fact that
th» Madrid cabinet. aft>r receiving the
American terms desired more informa
tion upon some points involved. This
led to a cable communication to M.
t’ambon. It was not Intended as a re
sponse to the American terms and was
In no sense conclusive upon the subject
matter of negotiations. There was no
need even of a call by Cambnn at the
white house or at the state depart
ment.
How Things Stand.
This continues to be the situation up
to the present time, via.: A communi
cation has been received relative to the
American terms, but not one of such fi
nal character as to constitute the an
swer for submission to the United
States government. At the same time
the final answer Is expected dally and
almost hourly, and although no official
information has been given. It is pos
sible the decision has been already
reached at Madrid.
Figuring on Peace.
On the assumption that peace is near
at hand, some attention Is being given
to the steps which thus may be brought
about formally and the measures nec
essary to be adopted Immediately after
wards. It is said to be not at all im
probable that the preliminaries leading
up to the signatures cf the treaty of
peace may consume fully tbrte months,
so it may 1)4 well along toward the le
gal date of the assembly of congress
before the President is prepared to
submit a peace treaty to the Senate.
The Expected Pledge.
The Spanish pledge to accept the
broad conditions laid down by the Uni
ted States will take the form Of a wrtt
t.n agreement, something in Ihe nature
of a protocol under the terms of the
President’s note. I%p.hcy be accepted by

iSpain the Spanish government will be
bound to evacuate Cuba and Porto RI
-Iro Immediately. This action "111 not
.wait upon the work of the peace com
missioners. but Is to precede it and fol
low immediately upon the signature of
the memorandum accepting the Pres
ident’s conditions.
*<lmmedistely”.
The word "immediately” in this case
I perhaps la a little- deceptive. Th" ex
i perlence of the v ur department In the
'endeavor to remove to Spain the Span
ish troops surrendered at Santiago has
not Justified the expectation that the
.large force of Spanish regulars can be
gathered up and shipped home to Spain
In less than sixty days at best. There
fore, what Is meant by the word "Im
mediately” is that the Spanish gov
ernment shall at least begin arrange
ments at once for the evacuation of
the Islands.
Fortunate Circumstance
On the whole, it is a rather fortun
ate circumstance that this evacuation
cannot take place en masse and imme
diately, for it has been determined that
the Spanish troops withdrawn must be
I replaced by United States troops.
This is deemed to be absolutely nec
essary to guard against anarchy and
to secure establishment of a sthble
form of government in Cuba under
proper Constitutional guarantees, but,
in all probability, not many of them
will have to go there before the pres
ent rainy season has neared Its end.
Ready to Act.
I Paris, France, Aue. 3.—A dispatch
from Madrid says i.” a definite reply
’of the United States to the peace prop
osition art Ives today the Spa nish cab
inet will meet this evening and officially
accept the terms.

IN THE FIFTH.
The Opening of the Congressional
Campaign at Chester.
Chester, 8. C. Aug. 3. —The congre*-
I sionnl campaign for the Fifth district
j opened here on Monday. All of the six
candidates were ou hand and spoke
to about 2 ( io voters, with a scattering
lof the fair sex. The audience main
|talned perfect order and gave an at-
Itentive hearing to each speaker. Mr.
| Pollock made a very favorable tmpres
• elon, but of course Chester county's
) candidate made the speech of the day.
Attorney General Barber Is onp of the
brainiest young men In the state, and
is one of the best orators. If speaking
Is any criterion, he ebould be elected
on the first ballot.
Chrsfi'r county has two candidates
snd Chesterfield, Lancaster and York
one each.
Chester county doesn’t ask for a ,
Chester county man to be sent to con
gress, hut the district demands that [
ehe brainiest and best fitted man for !
she place be elected. As the campaign
progresses the vo’ers can very earily j
r-serrtain who this man is. Watch the ]
result rs the Fifth district election.
The race will bo a pretty and Inter
esting one, but tb? right man will be
elected.

A TALK WITH HOBSON.
Mr*. Albert Sherman (let the Hero at
Asheville
To Mr*. Albert Sherman belong* the
distinction of bring the only Augusta
j woman, and one of the few Georgia
women, who has had the pleasure of
|meeting Lieut. Richard Pearson Hob
son. the hero of the Merrimac. Li‘tit.
Hobson was Introduced to Mrs. Sbe.-
man. who is visiting friends In Ashe
ville, b: hi* uncle, Congressman Pear
son, with whom he was making a
brief stay.
The following excerpt from a loiter
from Mrs. Sbertnan to an Augusta
friend will he read with much interest
by Mre. Sherman's friends, and the
many admirers of Lieut. Hobson:
"When Mr. Pearson, his uncle, and
also his namesake, by the way. said,
'Mrs. Sherman, this is Lieut. Hobson,’
I experienced the most peculiar sensa
tion imaginable, a blended feeling cf
Joy and sorrow, which was Intensifico
by the cordial handshake with which
he greeted me. He is much younger
than any of the pictures of him indi
cate; in fact he looks a mere boy, with
a handsome, strong face, a mouth firm,
yet tender, and the polished, perfect
manners of a Chesterfield. His story
for of course I talked shop was one j
of most Intense Interest. He told mO|
cf otir brave General Wheeler, and a«
he talks you are conscious that he nev-j
er uses the usual big T,’ it is always;
‘we;’ and while not apparently anxious l
to rehearse his experiences, still he’
does not avoid the subset. His voice,
which is a pure, rich southern one, and
as refined as a woman's. Is tenderly
lowered when he speaks of his moth
er. and one can tell by this atone of
the reverence in which he holds her.
When I said to him that I hut ex
pressed the sentiments of all Augus
tans when I considered him the hero
of (he war, and told him we were proud
he belonged to the Sunny South, his
eyes began to sparkle and something
like the fire which actuated him while
under the Spanish fire could be seen
when he said. 'I am even more proud
cf it than are you.’ ”
