SPAIN 8 REPLY
Is Couched in Most Dignified
Expressions.
BOWS TO THE INEVITABLE
The Queen Agrees Who May
be Spain’s Commissioners.
Madrid, August 7.—The cab
inet council terminated after
having completely approved the
reply to the United States, which
it is said, accepts the American
conditions.
The reply will ba telegraphed
to Senor Leon y Castillo, the
Spanish ambassador to France
tonight, so thatM. Cambon, the
Fiench ambassador at Washing
ton, will receive it tomorrow.
The government is fully con
vinced that the note|will be satis
factory to the Washington gov
ernment, and that a suspension
of hostilities will be its imme
diate consequences.
From a well informed source
it is learned that while the an
swer to he United States’ terms
does not discuss the four bases
which the United States makes
an essential preliminary to peace
and which Spain accepts with
out reservation, it points out
that in order to avoid the defin
itive negotiations being in any
way complicated by incidents of
the war, it is expedient to agree
before hand to>a /uspens’oi’ of
hostilities.
It is reported that Duke Almo
dovar de Rio, the minister of
foreign affairs, and Monsignor
Merry del Vai, Spanish ambas
sador to the Vatican, will be
selected to represent Spain in
the negotiona.
The newspapers make no com
ments on the situation or. i <■- *
the strictness of the cens r >"ffiip
Senor Sagasta has submitted
the answer to the queen regent
and her majesty approves the
general lines, which the premier
fully explained to her.
The government believes that
the United States will accept
Spain’s answer, which will cer
tainly reach the white house by
Tuesday, As i consequence of
the United Sta es accepting the
reply hostilities will immediate
ly afterwards be suspended.
As the reply to the American
terms was onD submitted to the
•* I
queen regent today all the re
ports of her approval yesterday
of the American demands are
necessarily without foundation.
According tithe most reliable
sources of information the Span
ish note is couched in dignified
language. It asserts that Spain
bows to the force of circum
stances, having done nothing to
provoke the var, into which she
has been unwillingly led in the
defense of her rights and terri
tory.
It expresses a willingness to
appoint delegates to meet the
American ccmmissioners to dis
cifSs a regine for the Pbillip
pinee.
It is unlerstood that both
Senor Sapista and Duke Almo
dovar de Fio, the foreign minis
ter, told tie queen regent that
they felt dieply the painful duty
circumstaices imposed upon
them .
