THE ROME HUSTLER-COMMERCIAL
ROMB GEORGIA. FhIDAY. EVENING. AUGUST- 12. 1808.
GAMBON WILL SIGN.
Madrid has Approved the
Terms of Protocol.
SPANISH NEWSPAPERS
Say Peace Is a Faregone Con
clusion. Anxious for End.
Madrid, August 12.—The
government has received the
protocol, and the cabinet coun
cil rose at 9 :40 last night, hav
ing approved it
The government will wire M
Cambon, empowering him to
sign the preliminaries of peace.
In official circles here the re
ply of the United States to Spain
in the matter of peace negotia
tions ie regarded as satisfacto
ry.
The prese now considers peace
a foregone conclusion and echoes
the general impatience to see a
termination of hostilities and to
know the program for the puace
commission, at which it Is*- be
lieved either Senor Moret or
Duke Almod var de Rio will
preside. It is believed that the
negotaalions will extend into
the etcond half of September.
The preliminary arrange
ments are advancing steadily,
tho ugh perhaps not quite so
quick as could be wished. Tlie
short reply from Washington to
the last Spanish note, which
reached Madrid yesterday, must
be regarded as merely a fore
runner of a more detailed com
munication that may be exp'ct
ed in the course of the next few
days.
It says the president will take
into consideration all the points
of the last Spanish note and will
embody the whole in a formal
document, the text of which will
be telegraphed to Madrid for
acceptance with the least delay
possible. ‘Until this latter com
munication is received it will be
impossible to say whether the
cortes will be assembled at once
or only at the close of the nego
tiations.
Ministers adhere to the state
ment that the protocol contains
no modification of the original
terms, but only new sugges
tions.
They expect it will be signed
at Washington at once and that
a suspension of hostilities will
be announced.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, min
ister of foreign affairs, assures
the coi respondent of the Asso
ciated Press that the negotia
tions for the peace treaty will
take place iu Paris, but he says
the commissioners have not yet
been appointed.
The termsof the protocol will
not be published until the in
strument has been signed.

murder, and is now in jail here.
The officers have had consid

He was first spotted in Mound
City, Ark., but disappeared be
fore he could be arrested. He
will be given a preliminary hear
ing next Monday before Judge
Edwards.
