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 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 .
