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.

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.

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. FUSION NOMINEE. A Nomination Effected After an Al Night Session.

A TALK WITH HOBSON. Mr*. Albert Sherman (let the Hero at Asheville To Mr*.

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.’ ” ST. LOUIS AND ST. PAUL. Auxiliary Cruisers Returned to Amer ican Lines.
