According to • Madrid Story the Formal Answer Has Ileeu Completed — The Eastern Squadron to Be Orderod to the Coast of Spain. Madrid, Aug. 8.—The Spanish reply to the I'nitcil States, according to a high authority, accepts the American peace conditions. It has been complet ed and was submitted to the queen re gent this morning previous to this af ternoon's cabinet meeting. The queen regent conferred with Silvela, the Conservative leader, this morning, with the Dulto of Tetuan, the former minister for foreign af fairs, and with Marshal Martinez de Campos, the former captain general of Cuba. This afterhoon Her Majesty will re ceive Scnor Romero y Robledo, whose views are said to be shared by General VVeyler. The series of conferences between the premier, Scnor Sagasta, and the leaders of the various parties will con clude this afternoon with interviews with General Canalejas and others. Senor lsarrio-., theCarlist leader, has not replied to Senor Nagusta's invita tion to come to Madrid in order to dis cuss mutters. TO FORCE SAGASTA’S HAND. The Eastern Rqundran to Be Ordered to the Const of Hpaln. Washington. Aug. 8.—Rear Admiral Sampson has been ordered to assume command of the Eastern squadron, which will be ordered to proceed to the coast of Spain provided that the reply expected to-day from the Madrid government to the President's terms of peace is not satisfactory. The fleet is now assembled at Guan tanamo bay, ready to sail the moment the orders arc received. It comprises the battleships Iowa, Indiana, Massa chusetts and Oregon, the armored cruisers New York and Ilrooklyn, the protected cruiser New Orleans and the auxiliary cruisers Dixie, Y’aukee, Yo semite and Mayflower. The transfer of Commodore Schley from the lirooklyn to the Newark means that he is to be kept at home, and that his former flagship will go with the Eastern squadron. The selection of Hear Admiral Samp son to command the squadron was based, it is said, upon the desire of the President and Secretary Long to put in command of the fleet an oflicer of tried judgment and discretion. Commodore Watson is regarded as one of the coolest and ablest officers in the government service, and he un doubtedly will be able to assist Rear Admiral Sampson in the operations which will occur if Spain does not ac cept the President's terms. Friends of Commodore Schley natur ally regret the President's action in assigning him to the Newark, and thus preventing his participation in the work of the squadron, but it is ex plained that Commodore Schley will still be useful in Cuban waters in con trol of the reserve fleet. TALKING FOR ROOSEVELT. Ills Friends Claim lie Will Show I'p Al leged Mistakes. * Washington, Aug. S.—Colonel Theo dore Roosevelt's friends say that he will take up the gauntlet thrown down by Secretary Alger, and that, as soon as he is notified of the facts, he will make charges of mismanagement and inefficiency in the Santiago campaign, and then demand a court-martial. This will enable him, it is claimed, to prove many things which would otherwise be glossed over, and give him a chance to show up the alleged mistakes made by the secretary of war.

WITHOUT EFFECT ON MILES. The Campaign In Conducted the Same at If There Were No Talk of 1'eaee. Off Sax Juax df. Porto Rico, Aug. 5.—The Americans have taken peace ful possession of the eastern portion of the island. Small parties of marines have been landed, who have lighted lamps in the lighthouse at Cape San Juan and other lighthouses along the coast. They met with no resistance. Indeed, at Cape San Juan; deputations of citizens came out to meet them. The warships now in this vicinity are the Montgomery, Annapolis, the Puritan and the Amphitrite. The two former arc looking for the transports with troops which left the United States and have scattered all about the island. The Annapolis rounded up the Whitney, Florida und the Raleigh yes terday, and they are now at Cape San Juan. There seems to have been a serious mistake as to the rendezvous, for no two ships got to the same place, and it will tnke several days to locate them nnd get them to Ponce, where General Miles is waiting. Poxce, Porto Rico, Aug. 5.—Major General Miles is proceeding entirely without regard to peace negotiations. Krag-Jorgensens are being issued. The Second and Third Wisconsin are moving up to the Sixteenth Pennsyl vania to-day. Colonel Hillings lias captured 5,000 pounds of rice. Thus fur the enemy has not molested him. Major General ltrooke's landing at Arroyo was successful. The troops from tho Roumanian, four batteries from Indiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Illinois, are disembarking there. The Morgan troop of the Fifth cavalry and the Mississippi commissaries have arrived here. CERVERA VISITS COMRADES. tVoumlcd and III They Embrace Their Former Commander. Norfolk, V»., Aug. 8.—Admiral Cer vera and his son, Lieutenant Cervera, arrived here yesterday morning from liultiinore to visit Captain Concha, vviuiimuuci kjl utu auuiii ai n , Marla Teresa ami the other Spanish sick and wounded at the navy hospital here. This was the first time they had met since the fatal dash out of Santiago harbor. The meeting was a pathetic one, the admiral and captain embracing one another like children. The admiral then vis ited Lieutenant Koval of the Pluton, who lost a leg, Drs. Xicoli and Augusti of the Vizcaya, and the scenes were equally affecting when their former chief entered the ward where the Span ish sailors are. Their faces lit up and they embraced him as best they could, their joy being plainly visible. The ad miral took luncli with Medical Director Clcborne. and it is said he will remain here several days. EMBARKING FOR HOME. ttbafter'd Army Hein? Loaded on Trans> ports at Santiago. Washington, Aug. 8.—The Amer ican army at Santiago is be ing loaded on transports as rapidly as possible, and it is hoped that, within a few days, the bulk of the army will be at sea, bound for Montauk Point, L. I. In the place of these weary and battle worn troops will be five regi ments of immunes, now due at San tiago, supposed to be proof against yellow fever, and at any rate gifted with a fresh store of energy nnd health to draw upon. General Miles lia3 with him in Porto llico a force prob ably equal to the actual demands of the campaign there. WILDMANTO_AG UIN ALDO. Tho Insurgent Leader I'rged to Trust to tlie Justice of America. London, Aug. 8.—The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “The prospect of America abandoning the Philippines has well nigh brought on a panic.

Santiago Shopkeepers Translate Pesos Into Dollars. FIRST COLONIAL EXPERIMENT. The American Troop* anti Not the SpanUh Inhabitants Are Kol.bed—Large Mer chants Will Tske Only Money of the United States. New Yot:k, Aug. 8.—The Santiago correspondent of the New York Com mercin' Advertiser sends the follow ing: Santiago so far remains a decor ous scene of first colonial experiment. Looting and the theatrical scenes of conquest that attended older wars are not here. The town is as quiet as New York on a Sunday afternoon out of the season. At first the shops opened their shutters tentatively half way before they could be sure their tills were not, one and all, to bo pil fered. The cafe Venus admitted visit ors only after mysterious pounding at tlie entresol before custom flowed more freely, anil customers, being Americans, hungry and ragged, were found amenable to any price. l'’or a nation of Yankee shop keep ers, the Yankees in {Santiago have done very well. They have let the unblushing Spanish shop keepers cheat them to the top of their bent. It took the Spanish shop keeper but a day to realize this. Women and chil dren in the background, adding to the town's queer, deserted look, attested the inhabitant's uncertainty. Yet the situation was characteristic enough of L'ncle Sam, who, instead of looting, kept his iiands in his pockets and let himself be looted. “Loot” may not be the Spanish word for translating pesos by dollars and charging accordingly, but it is, perhaps, polite enough. After awhile the streets grew more comment, women, some oi incm in freshly laundried dresses, priests, car rying great sun umbrellas, are seen going about their errands. Shutters came down from shop and dwelling in greater numbers. The most notable shops are the bar bers' shops, true to the traditions of the immortal liarhierre, and the chem ist shops. ICach of these sorts of shops makes considerable display. Clothing and haberdashers’ and tobacconists’ shops are fairly stocked. Cafes and bakeries are quite deficient. In most only a few strips of coarse Tried por ridge are to be had. with an occasional mouldy cooky. With the incoming of the Americans, of course, came great er plenty and circulation. The liveliest scenes are along the wharves, where Colonel Humphrey and Colonel Weston superintend the unloading of trans ports on dry wharves, instead of the turbulent beach at Siboney. Cuban labor was supposed to be doing most of the work. On the hill at the back pf the town, in the barracks or hos pital, that could so plainly be seen on the day of the fight, covered with Red Cross flags, Spanish officers and men are busy making their preparation be fore transportation. Horses gathered before the doors, and also at the palace in the plaza, where the Ameri can governor, General Wood, holds his rule. The main buildings are a few churches, the cathedral, with its plas ter echoes of Toledo and Seville; the archbishop's palace, imposingly placed on high ground and, true to the coun trymen of Calderon, the theater. None of the greater merchants would take anything but American money, partly, no doubt, on account of Spanish rate of exchange, and partly, too, because they saw that the eye and face of George Washington were des tined to be the trustworthiest sort of tender in the town and province now. So far as we could judge from the shopkeepers the town was relieved and truly glad that a settled state of af fairs seemed likely to descend upon them. SANTIAGO DAILY EXPECTADOR.

However, Favor a Continuation of tho War. London, Aug. I*.—The Madrid corrc j spondent of the Daily Mail says: *‘A majority of the politicians who con ferred with Senor Sagasta counseled peace, lmt Senor Nocedal, leader of the ultra Montanas, urged war, even if the Yankees were to capture Spanish ports, as possibly then an internation al conflagration would avenge Spain by putting her in a position to gain more than by making a shameful peace now. “Senor Romero y Robledo, in the course of an interview said: ‘Senor Sagasta informed me as to the con tsnts of the American note. In addi tion to tho demands already known, the American government asks the oc cupation and possession of Manila and Subig bay. M. Cam bon obtained from President McKinley tho substitution for the word possession of another word meaning practically the same thing.’ “This revelation has caused a fer ment here. It was understood at first that the Americans demanded only temporary occupation, pending ar rangements for tho future government of the Philippines, it is believed the powers will object to the Americans retaining permanent possession of Manila and Subig bay. The later is splendid naval station.” Senor C'astclar, although an advocate of peace, is of the opinion that in ne gotiating its conclusions the govern ment “should remember the Virginius affair, when the energy displayed by Spain in dealing with the United States saved Spanish Interests, and ho thought every effort should be mode to preservo Spanish sovereignty over Porto Rico.” Senor Silvcla added that lie personally did not favor any change of policy. V/OULD LIKE TO BE ANNEXED. Cubans, Especially the Army, In Favoi of Annexation. Santiago he Ci ha, July 23.—Among the American citizens of Cuban birth, and perhaps generally among those who desire arnexation to the United States, the rift between the American and Cuban forces has been a source of concern. Within the last few days, however, Garcia lias expressed his opinion that the welfare of Cuba depended upon her joining the sisterhood of the United States. Partly on uccount of his attitude and partly on account of the same reasons which led to his con version, many of his officers now side with him. ROW IS ON AT GUATEMALA.
