Washington, D. C., Aug. fi.-The un der secretary of the French embassy confirmr "the report that Spain’s answer in full Is received. As the Associated Press Has it. By Associated Pro-::. Washington, D. C\. Aug. C.—The an swer 0 f Spain to the American terms on W hich peace is to he restored is ex pected at most any moment. Brief p rcs g dispatches from Madrid stati that the answer v -■•as an acceptance has increased «he tension over what was looked upon as a culmination of toe ne gotiations.

PAUL AND THE TORPEDO BOAT DESTROYER TER 'expectancy. A report from Madrid that the cabi net would go over the matter pending [a reply thl* afternoon Indicated that It Hugh: not be dispatched to Washington till late In the day, A report current du ring the day wa* that the embassy re ceived a communication early this mor ning, the Inference lie.ng that this was j Spain's reply, but this, tt can lie stated positively, was not correct, fcr up to midday Spain bad given no official inti mation of her answer In any quarter In Washington. The fact that the S: an | Ish cabinet goes over the reply this af ternoon rallies the possibility of cabi net discussion and prolongation of the ,tlme before the answer Is submitted. All Madrid reports, however, show that Premier Sagasta is endeavoring to rec oncile the various political elements and leaders as far as possible, and there Is a disposition among officials lure to give time for the difficult and delicate task of moulding public opinion and sentiment up to the rolnt of acceptance of American demands. This view Is strengthened among the officials here] by the fact that all our war prepera tions are steadily going on: the cam-I palgn in Porto Rico Is progressing with uninterrupted success, the hands of Dewey and Merritt being strengthened I at Manila and the conditions at San-] tlago so serious when the American ] genera's united in their statement be- | Ing promptly and energetically over- j come. For this reason It is felt that the delay Is a loss to Spain, and that Sagasta, in his own interest and that i of his country, would make answer as speedily as internal conditions permit ted. If the Madrid despatches convey fully the acceptance of the American term, then the authorities see nothing hut routine ahead concluding the for malities for pence. Theie will he little surprise here if the culmination of the peace arrange ment brings about a change In the Spanish cabinet, not so much by » cri sis as by a concerted movement among the leaders to institute a cabinet repre senting all elements, including the ar my, capable of taking the responsibility before thq country of the acceptance of the American terms.
