It Has IRen Handed to tbe Presi*
drot By M. Can boa.
Doubtful Whether or Not It Is a
Responsive Document.
Spain Presents Elaborate View* That
May be Destructive.
Washington. Aug. 9. The rahin -t
adjourned at 12 35. witout having re
ceived official werd of the Spanish ar
nrligctr'N'o hour ha* been fixed for
M. Gambon to arrive, but when the
cabinet hrok, up it wti stated that tbe
Arp! -saior m ght ileltver the antov. .
to the President within an hour. The
President made no statement about re
assembling tbe cabinet after receiving
tbe answer. It Is understood, however,
that the tenor rs the reply might neces
sitate the railing of the cabinet to
gether.
What It Is.
Spain's reply to the peace conditions
are In th’ hands of the French ambas
sador, but were not delivered to the
President tip to a late hour today.
Even the best Informed government
officials have no information as to the
content#. But there are several points
apparently established beyond ques
tion. Two of tbes* is that the reply was
so framed as to be considered by those (
who drafted It an "acceptance of all the
conditions laid down. Second It ea
teb-ished that this acceptance «vas the
general characterization of the docu
ment as a whole and that in making
the acceptance Spain had presented
elaborate views on eaeh part involved
and on questions which would natural
ly arise which the American conditions
would carry Into executlos.
Are They A^eptable?
This raised the question as to wheth
er the reply would be accepted as
completely responsive to the American
terms or as an indirect opening of ne
gotiations on subordinate points. De
termination on this matter cannot be
reached until tbe administration has a
full text of the reply. If the points are
purely incidental and formal strong
hope is entertained that peace wilt he
realized, but if Spain seeks to impos”
important conditions there is prospect
of delay and possibly refusal to accept
the r-ply Of- responsive.
In a Fe v Moments.
La f ?r. —Ambassador Cambon will
present Spain's answer in a few min
lit''. It is on rente to tbe White
House. The answer will Bot be made,
public until McKinley has replied.
ARE THE PEOPLE OF AUGUSTA TO HAVE A PU«tIC PARK OR A REAL ESTATE JOS PUT ON THEM ?

ARTIFICIAL
ALBUMEN
Important Discovery By L. Genfeld.
of Vicnoi.
%
Its Significance Discussed By Two
Noted Chemists.
apodal to The Herald.
leinduo, England. Aug. 9.—-It Is an
nounced that I>r. Ullenfelrt, of Vienna.
, haa discovered a method of producing
artificial albumen.
I Albumen la the moat vita! constitu
ent in the human body.
Albumen return I* the most Import
ant constituent of the htimao blood.
If artificial albumen can be produced,
it mean* that tbe ravages of Illness can
be repaired or the strength of the weak
Increased by subcutaneous Injections.
The Two Vaiieties.
There are two recognized varieties of
albumen —egg albumen and serum albu
men .
The Journal correspondent at Vienna
Interviewed the greatest authorities
in chemistry in Austria, Prof. Ludwig
and Prof. Marthner. of VlSftna Univer
sity. on Llllenfeld's discovery.
Beth prof-sears spoke very seriously
on the subject. Dr. I.udwlg said:
"There Is no douht that an Import
ant discovery has boon made. There Is
surely something Important In the mat
ter .”
Further Researches Necessary.
Prof. Marthner said:
Llltenfeld's synthesis is quite new
and exceedingly interesting to all sci
entists. Yet further researches arc nec
essary to establish the fact whether ar
tificial albumen will have the same ef
fect on the human body as the natural.
Lllienfeld himself mentioned in Ills lec
ture that experiments to that effect are
only now being made.”
COL. BOGAN DEAD.
1
He Passed Away in Boston at an
Early Hour Today.
Boston, Aug. 9.—-Col. Fred G. Bogan,
commander of the Ninth Massachus
etts volunteers, died today. Col. Bogan
arrived from Cuba a few days ago.
Here is an unofficial forecast partly:
Spain expresses the hope that the Uni
ted States will not give Cuba to the in
fill,-grata. biit retain control and gov
ern the island herself, thus Insuring
respect to Spanish property owners.
Spain inlimaies preference of reten
tion of Potto Rico, surrendering in its
place any of her Pacific possessions.
Satisfaction is expressed with the ap
pointment of a mixed commission to
settle other questions and the sugges
tion made that the commission meet
in Paris.
