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.

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.

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. !«% Ik* IM ao* ikortaMy woaa#o# ; m I any #*» aa aay nwu I llktlti k«f** «4 i Wa*hta#«aa It C .
