M uehington, August 8.—The reply of (lie Spanish govern-
ment to the peace conditions hud down by the United States was
received by the French ambassador, M. Cambon, shortly before :t
o'clock this afternoon. The reply came in sections, the dispatch
Urst received giving only the opening passages of the Spanish re-
ply. A few minutes later another dispatch brough a second sec-
tion and these kept coming uninterruptedly by a process of mes-
sengers until seven sections of the reply had been received at ten
minutes of 4 o clock, when the last part of it was still to arrive. In
ie meantime Hie cipher experts were at work, and by 4:.il> thev
were abreast of all that portion of the reply received'up to that
ime and there was a lull of some time ponding the arrival of the
concluding portions. It was thought a terrific rain storm, which
swept oyer Washington 4 o'clock, might have occasioned de-
la} lo (he remainder, l'ending the receipt of the complete ret.lv
no steps were taken to lix a time for a conference with the Presi-
dent, as I he time for that depended largely upon some of the feat-
ures of the reply and also upon III., explicit instructions concern-
ing the delivery of the answer which usually accompanies a docu
"lent of (his solemn character. Neither at the White house nor
111,1 department was there any official knowledge that the
reply had reached Washington and the usual hours closed with no
appointment made for a conference. There as felt to be little likli
hood, even though the ambassador received the complete replv
and instructions, that there would be a night conference at the
\\ lute house lor the purpose of presenting the document
MUCH SPECULATION OVER REPLY,
Pending the official delivery of the answer speculation was
rife as to its contents. There was little or no further doubt that
the length of the reply meant that Spain had not given a simple and
irect attlmativc to the American conditions. It was evident tliui
if the reply was an acceptance it was accompanied by extended
discussion and probably by conditions. This caused considerable
apprehension in official circles her.-, for while it was felt last week
that Spain would surely yield in every particular, it began to be
felt that possibly there might be another period of discussion and
possibly an indirect attempt to open up a diplomatic exchange on
the nature of the terms. The prevailing view, however, was that
• lie reply was on its face an acceptance, although not such a one
as precluded all possibility of further discussion.
THE PROBABLE POINTS CONCEDED,
All the vital points were believed to be conceded, the aband-
onment of I uba. l'orto Hieo and the Uidrones. and the establish-
ment of a commission to pass upon questions relating to the Phil
lippines. In the carrying out of this programme it was believed
that Spain would seek to secure an understanding upon many in-
cidental points involved, some of them of considerable importance.
For instance, some doubt was raised as to whether Spain's accept
mice would lie operative until referred to and ratified by the Span-
ish cortes and it w.is understood that the reply might call attent
tion to this condition. The same condition, it was pointed out,
exists as to the Tinted States, for a peace treaty requires the rati-
fication of the senate to become operative. In case Spain's answer
discussed these incidental points there promised to be wide latitude
for controversy aud delay unless the President and cabinet declined
to enter the field of discussion.
AN INDIRECT NOTIFICATION.
Late in the afternoon the President received an indirect in-
spiration that the Spanish answer had come to the French ambas-
sador. A cabinet officer, who was with him at this time, said on
leaving: "The information that has come from Madrid, indicate*
that the Spanish have accepted our terms in a general way, but
leave several questions open that we did not include in the terms
submitted. The communication offering those terms was explicit,
specifically stating such points as would be left open to further
negotiations. We will stand on these terms." The administration
has not yet given serious consideration to the personnel of thepeace
commission, but it can be stated that no one not in accord with the

RUMORED RESIGNATION

THE REI*ORT.
Washington Aug. 8.—The published re-
port of the Imention of Secretary Day to
resign the office of secretary of «tate up-
on the termination of the present war la
based upon statements that were miule
at the time be assumed office, to the ef-
fect that he would consent to hold it but
a short time. No official utterance as to
tho secretary8 purpose is now obtain-
able and Secretary Day himself declines
to make any statement on the subject
so it cannot be ascertained positively
whether or not the period of fhime whleh
he had in mind as to the length of his ser-
vice when he assumed office has about
expired.

the natives reported a stranded barge
ashore on the north side of the river. It
was laden with supplies, all of which

London, Aug. •,-TbU Madrid correspond
ent of the Times says:
The promptitude with which tho Span-
ish cabinet accepted the trmj, on receipt
of the American explanations, shows that
It doe. not desire to waste time In dila-
tory procecdure. The question when dl-
rectcvd negotiations will begin is ra.ther
doubtful, probacy because the cabinet is
rrsolved to act scruplously inaccordaneo
with the latter and spirit of the enstitu-
tlon and the best authorities disagree In
Iho Interpretation of the constitutional
law. It is bellvcd that the direct ne3o-
tlations will occur in Paris.

The experiments prove that the men
