SPAIN ACCEPTS
Sagasta Agrees to the Terms
• of McKinley
WAR BEING PUSHED
Hanna Says Extra Session of
iCongess Will be Called.
Washington, August 3—Shortly
before midnight Secretary Alger,
as he left the white house after a
conference with the president,
■aid the administration had re
ceived no official information that
the Madrid government had ac
cepted the terms of peace proposed
by the United States.
Unofficially, the president had
been informed that the Spanish
ministry had acceded to the terms
of this country for a cession of
the war.
The unofficial advices have
reached the president in the form
not only of press dispatches, but
of private dispatches from confi
dential agents of th* united States
gov»rnment.
While this government has
strong reasons for believing that
its .terms of peace have been
agreed to by the Madrid govern*
ment, the president is taking m th
ing for granted.
Arrangements for pressing ihe
war to a successful conclusion ar
going forward precisely as if no
negotia'ions for peace were in
progress.
At a conference participated in
by the president, Secretary Alg j
and Adjutant General Corbin al
the executive mansion a final de
cision was reached as to the con
stitution of the provisional corps
for Porto Rico ts be commanded
by General Wade. >
The regiments which are to
comprise the corps were decid
ed upon and will be designated
in a general order to be issued
at once. Secretary Alger said
that the corps might be en route
to Porto Rico within a week.
Notwithstanding these warlike
preparations, the belief in offi
cial circles now amounts al
most to a conviction thatj active
hostilities practically have been
concluded. A prominent official
of the administration said to
night :
“Theend is near, in my opinion.
The information thus far received
is unofficial and meager, but that
it is accurate in the main we hav
no reason to doubt. In fact, we
have reasc n to believe it is corn cl.”
It is understood that the
“reason” referred to is contained
in the private advices received by
the president and from priva'e
dispatches by representatives of
foreign governments at this capi
tal.

OVER EAGLE AN BULLPEN
Spain Accedes to the Demands
of The United States.
New York, Aug. 3.—A special
cable to tho evening Journal
from Madrid published in a late
extra edition of that paper last
night says :
* Spain accepts the principal
conditions of peace as set forth
by the American government
and only the peace details are
needed to cause all hostilities to
cease at once.
“A peace delegation will be
chosen at once to with
the representatives of the United
States. The peace condition set
forth by President McKinley
were discussed at length today
by Minister Sagasta, and at the
conclusion it was given out offi
cially that the terms of the Uni
ted Slates would be accepted.
Tuere are one or two amend
ments to the proposition of the
United States that Spain will
ask to be made, and if this is
lone peace will be declared at
once.”
CAMBON HAS SPAIN’S ANSWER.
London, Aug. 3.—The Madrid
correspondent of A he Standard,
telegraphing Tuesday, says:
“The government’s reply to
the American terms was for
warded yesterday evening
through M. Gambon and there
is a strong prospect that peace
will be codcluded. It is not to
be supposed that the United
States government will t<
representations being made on
the Philippine question .u.d up
on some pecuniary claims which
were mooted by the United
States in the West Indies. On
all the remaining main issues
Spain shows a disposition to
issent to the American demands
“No Cabinet council was held
today nor are the ministers like
ly to meet again until fresh in
telligence is received from
Washington. This is not ex
pected at the ea liest before
Wednesday. The general im
pression is that both govern
ments are disposed to put ar
■nd to the war as honorably as
possible for Spain, which would
have been easier had the United
States not imposed such bar
conditions with regard to the
Philippines.”
ROM E C >RRESPONDENTSAYS TERMS

London, Aug. 3 —l’he Rome
correspondent of The Daily
Chronicle says :
“Spain, it is asserted here,
has accepted the American terms
with unimportant reservations
and the peace preliminaries will
be sinned before Saturday.”
