SPAIN AffiFTS TERMS,
. PEACE CDMES AT LAST
The Reply Will be Submitted to the Queen Regent Before
the Cabinet Meeting Which Will be Held to
Ratify Action.
DELAY DANGEROUS
And Spain is Losing, so Sa
gasta is Pushing the Mat
ter as Rapidly as
Possible.
NOTHING OFFICIAL
In Washington But Advices From
Madrid Are to the Effect that
the End of the Preliminary
Negotiations Has Come
at Last.
'Madrid. August fi The Spanish reply to
the I>ntt< d 'Stal. s. which It has been learn
ed on high authority, accepts the American
peace conditions, has been completed and
will be .submitted to the Queen Regent
this morning, previous to this afternoon’s
cabinet meeting
Waiting in Washington.
Washington, 'August 6 The answer of
Spain to the 'American terms on which
peace will be restored is expected at al
most any moment.
Brief press dispatches from Madrid
Stating that the answer was an acceptance
has increased the tension over what is
looked upon as the culmination of the
negotiations.
During the early hours of the day the
state department had not received direct
Information as to Spain's answer, nor was
there any Intimation when it would come.
Tlie same was true as to the .French
embassy The ambassador made no ar
rangements for a call at the White House
or the state department and none of the
officers of tlie embassy had conferred with
the officials since the discussion last Wed
nesday night Everything was in a condi
tion of waiting and expectancy.
The report from (Madrid that the cabinet
Council would go over tlie reply tills af
ternoon indicated that it might not be dis
patched to Washington until late in the
day.
The report was current during tlie day
that the embassy had received a communi
cation at an early hour this morning in
French and that it was Spain's reply, but
this, it can be stated positively is not cor
rect. for up to midday Spain had given no
official intimation of her answer to anv
quarter in Washington.
The fact that tlie Spanish cabinet will
go over the reply this afternoon raises the
possibility of a cabinet discussion and the
prolongation of the time before the an
swer is submitted.
All the Madrid reports show that Pre
mier Sagas ta is endeavoring to reconcile
the various political elements ;ind the
leaders as far as possible and there is a
disposition among the officials here to give
them time for the difficult and delicate
moulding of public and political sentiment
up to the point of an acceptance of Amer
ican demands.
This view is strengthened among the of
ficials here by the fact that all of our war
preparations are going steadily forward.
The campaign in Porto .Rico is progress
ing with uninterrupted success. The hands
of Dewey and Merritt are being strength
ened at Manila and the conditions at San
tiago. so serious wheat the American gen
erals united in their statement, are being
promptly and energetically overcome.
For this reason it is felt that the delay is
a loss to Spain and Sagasta in the interest
of bis own country will make the answer
as speedily as internal conditions permit.
If the Madrid dispatches are fully real
ized by the acceptance of the American
terms then the authorities see nothing
that remains but the routine concluding
the formalities of peace.
There w ill be little surprise here if the
culmination of the peace arrangement
brings about a change in the Spanish cab
inet not so much by a crisis as by a con
certed movement among the leaders to in
stitute a cabinet representing all elements
including the army, capable of taking the
responsibility before the country of the ac
ceptance of the American terms

SALISBURY’S FIRMER STAND,

Misgiving in St. Petersburg.
London, August 6. —That extreme diplo
matic relations exist between St. Peters
burg and London is generally admitted,
though the officials deprecate the alarming
reports which were current yesterday. It
is hoped that the firmer g’and adopted by
the Marquis of Salisbury during the last
few days, which seems already to have
created some misgivings at St. Petersburg,
will have the desired effect of arresting
Russian aggressiveness.
It is felt \ th here and on the continent
that the outcome of the dispute with re

is the crucial point of the success or fail

As evidence of the fact that Great Britain
appreciates the gravity of the situation,

Washington, August 6—Preparations are

to Cuba immediately after the conclusion
of peace between the United States and
Spain.
The plans provide for the embarkation,
of the troops within a week if Spain shall
send a favorite answer to our terms of

It has been generally understood, in .both
official and unofficial quarters, that Gen.
Dee would be given the honor of entering
Havana with the troops of his command.
When that shall happen he can call for
the express package (Blanco refused to send
to him. It was presumed that this would
be done in the fall, when the campaign
northern Cuba had been begun, but low
that an early peace seems probable, Gen.
Lee will go in at the head of the garrison

ment, pending the establishment of the

SENATOR BACON
GETS AJUNSWER
He is Notified That His Tele
gram Asking for Revoca
tion of the Order
Illi 60 IE THE IWSIOEIT
He Has Nothing Further to Say on
the Subject at this Time—May
be Held at Savannah.
Senator Bacon this morning received the
following telegram from Adjutant General
Corbin in response to his telegram sent to
the secretary of war yesterday afternoon.
"Your telegram in reference to the
Third regiment of United States volun
teers is received and will be brought to
the attention of the president and secre
tary of war.
H. C. CORIBIN,
Adjutant General.
Senator Bacon was not inclined to talk
on the subject of his action of yesterday
when he was seen this morning by a News
reporter.
On all sides he has received congratula
tions on his course in requesting the de
partment to revoke the order sending the
regiment to Santiago.
It is the general opinion that the of
ficers of the regiment were right in send
ing the dispatch which persisted in the
offer of their services to the government
even under the conditions that exist at
Santiago, but every one recognizes the fact
that the Senator was acting not in behalf
of the officers, but of the privates who
have to run risks greater than theofficers
and who have to bear the brunt of the
privations.
It is not at all probable that an order
will be received during the day counter
manding the order to move. It is thought
that when Senator Bacon’s telegram is
brought officially to the attention of the
president and for the first time he is of
ficially notified of the risk that he is
running in sending this regiment to San
tiago, be will hesitate about acept ing it.
This is the first time probably that the
president has been made to take official
cognizance that these so-called immune
regiment are no more immune than any of
the other regiments among the volunteer
forces and that the government has taken
the men in under what might be called
false pretenses.
The situation then is that having been
so officially notified the president will hes
tate, 'because if the future shows that
these regiments have been decimated by
fever the whole responsibility will be
thrown on the administration and it is
likely to hear more from it.
If the regiment leaves here tonight it
may be stopped in Savannah, and it will
either be returned here or will be placed
in camp there.
Senator ißacon does not expect to bear
anything further from the department to
day.
FACTORY WILL
GO TO DUBLIN.
Though There is Still Chance
that Council Mav Rec
ommend.
It would seem that the efforts to locate
the hardwood factory in Macon has been
a failure as nothing has been heard from
the committees appointed to look into the
petition presented to council at its last
meeting asking for the lease of the main
building at the park.
A limit for the acceptance or rejection of
the proposition made by the company was
placed for 'Wednesday, but if the commit
tee had given out an intimation that there
was a probability of the proposition and
an intimation that the lease would be
granted by council there is no doubt that
this would have been extended until the
meeting on Tuesday when the report of
the committee will be sent in.
The company is now, however, preparing
to accept the offer made by the town of
Dublin, and it looks as if that place would
get the factory.
The committee appointed by council was
necessarily in somewhat of a quandary as
to the lease on the building at the park.
The contract with the Agricultural Society
gives them the right to the building, and
they will meet on Wednesday next at In
dian Spring for the purpose, among other
things, of considering the holding of a fair
this year. If they decide to hold the fair
'they have a right to this building and
council would be obliged to give it to
them or be liable for a breach of the con?
tract.
Then, again, it is difficult for council to
say where to draw the line. If they grant
this lease it would mean the turning over
of the whole park to manufacturing enter
prises and they are not yet prepared to do
this. It is possible, however, that the re
port will recommend a compromise and
that another site without the building may
be offered to the company on which to la
cate its plant, but this would net satisfy
the company as they lave stipulated for
this particular bullfiiug.

COLONEL RAY TALKS.
He Says that Charges of Incompe
tency Will Be Brought Against
Some of the Officers—
Thanks the People
of Macon,
All the camp fixtures of Camp Price are
now loaded on the cars and the regiment
will leave in three sections ever the Cen
tral tonight at 7 o’clock sharp, provided
no countermanding orders are received.
The trains will leave from the foot of
Cherry street.
The men were busy this morning pack
ing up their equipments and receiving their
pay and the camp presented a busy scene.
The privates were all hard at work, and
the order was given by Colonel Ray not to
allow any of the men 'to leave the camp
during the day. Extra guards were placed
and no one was allowed to leave camp.
Express wagons have been goiug in and
out of the camp all the morning loaded
with camp belongings.
The friends and relatives of 'the boys
were with them to bid them a last good
bye.
A large number of citizens of Macon
will be found at the foot of Cherry street
this evening to give the regiment a rousing
send off.
Col. Kai’. Thanks.
Colonel Ray expressed himself as deeply
grateful to the people of Macon for the
kindness shown him and his regiment and
gave the following card to a News reporter
and requested that it be published in all
the papers of the city:
To the Ppblic—J desire to thank the cit
izens of Georgia, and especially the citi
zens of Macon, for the unusual cordiality
and kindness extended to me and my reg
iment since its organization. I highly ap
preciate the great honor done me and so
fine a body of men enrolling themselves
under a stranger, particularly at a time
when the state officials were engaged in
raising the state quota of volunteers.
P. H. Ray.
Colonel Commanding Third Regiment
United States Volunteers.
The resignations of Captains Colquitt
and Maddox have been forwarded to the
war department and Colonel Ray has re
commended that they be accepted.
Rt.Hf.oriH for Rewlgnat ion.
Colonel Ray states this morning that
Captain Colquitt has resigned under
charges and that the resignation of Captain
Maddox was a complete surprise to him
and that he would not have accepted it
unless the captain had insisted on it.
Something mysterious is connected wioh
the regiment and no one will talk. The of
ficers do not feel inclined to give their
views on the matter.
Colonel Ray was seen by a News report
er this morning and asked about the mat
ter and he said;
“There have only been two resignations
so far and one of them had to come. I have
requested the secretary of war to order
some of the officers before a board to ex
amine them on the charge of incompetency.
I do it for a reason of the greatest im.por
tance. I have officers here who arc ineffi
cient and who are unab’e to control the
men.
“I need officers who can control the men
as the place to which we are now going
is infested with something worse than
Spaniards. Something that bullets can
net stop. The sanitary conditions of
camp, the safety of the men and tb.ft food
anad the personal habits of thfj men de
pend a great deal upon fives of the
soldiers, and these things cannot be en
forced without competent officers.
The board wIU probable be called as soon
as we reach Santiago or before we leave
Macon, as I am now waiting a reply from
the secretary of war.”
Colonel Ray said that there would be
numerous promotions in the regiment as
some of the officers would be dropped. He
said that the promotions would be made
according to rank,
Ca.pt. Sidney Wiley.
He said that he had nominated Lieuten
ant Wiley, of Macon, for captain of Com
pany K. and Lieutenant Jones, of Atlanta,
for eaptain of Company M. He was asked
about the other promotions and said
“Mr. Dunn, of Rome, who was displaced
by the appointment of Lieutenant Estill,
will receive the place made vacant by the
resignation of Lieutenant Jelks.
“Sergeant Major Garden will probably
receive a second lieutenancy, as he is one
of the ranking non-commissioned officers,
and I have nominated him. He will proba
bly receive his commission after reach
Santiago.”
The colonel says that iris regiment is In
fine shape and is ready to stand the seige
of fever. The regiment is, unlike other reg
iments, as it is going into battle with an
enemy that cannot be killed out and that
Will not surrender until cooler weather
sets in.
CAMP PRICE

Men Sang Hymns.
Camp Price had a lively appearance yes

went down. The men were singing songs
and in many of the streets they ware as
sisted by ladies who led the hymns.
It was a very impressive scene when
about five hundred men gathered around
a few ladies and commenced singing
"When the Roll is Called up Yonder I’ll
be There.” A few of the ladies started the
song and fully a thousand voices joined
in the chorus “Nearer my'God to Thee”
was also sung and the chorus of the song
was sung by nearly everybody in camp.
