HE TOOK THE PORTFOLIO CON
DITIONALLY
Was the Understanding that Ho
Should Resign at the Close of
Hostilities Will Probably Be One
of the Peace Commissioners
Back to Private Life
In connection with the probable selec
tion o Secretary of State Day as one of
the peace commissioners it is stated that
he will at an early date be released from
the office of secretary of state and after
concluding his labors as a member of the
commission will resume the practice oi
law in Canton Although this is the first
public announcement that Secretary Day
intends to retire from public life it has
long been known to his most intimate
friends that when he accepted the port
folio he did so with the understanding that
he would resign his office immediately
after peace had been restored between
Spain and the United States
the
French Ambassador
Washington Aug 8 The reply of the
Spanish government to the peace condi
tions laid down by the United States was
received by the French ambassador M
Cambon shortly before 4 oclock this
afternoon The reply came in sections
the dispatch first received giving only the
opening passages of the Spanish reply A
few minutes later another dispatch
brought a second section and these kept
coming uninterruptedly by a procession
of messages until seven sections of the
reply had been received at ten minutes tc
4 oclock when the last part was still tc
arrive In the meantime the cipher ex
perts were at work and by 430 oclock
they were abreast of all that portion of the
reply received up to that time and there
was a lull from that time pending the ar
rival of the concluding portions
Late in the afternoon the president re
ceived an indirect intimation that the
Spanish reply had come to the French em
bassy A cabinet officer who was with
him at this time said on leaving The
information that has come from Madrid
about the action of the Spanish cabinet
indicates that Spain has accepted our
terms in a general way but leaves several
questions open that we did not include in
the terms submitted The communication
offering these terms was explicit merely
stating such points as would be left open
to further negotiations We will stand on
these terms
The contents of the reply will not bo
given to the public for several days

MYSTERY AT MILWAUKEE
Body of a Young Woman Found in
the JLake
Lashed about by a chain to which was
fastened a hitching weight the body of a
young woman clad only in underwear
was found on the government breakwater
at Milwaukee The body had been in the
water for some time and was so decom
posed that not a vestige of the features
remained The raiment on the body was
of the finest quality the white underskirt
being trimmed with hand made lace and
the undervest being of silk This latter
garment was stained with blood The chain
With which the body was bound was im
provised foe the occasion as the twenty
pound weight had been fastened to it not
by a snap such as is used on hitching
chains but by prying a link which had
not been closed again A post mortem
examination was held but the physicians
were unable to come to any conclusion
owing to the condition of the body The
police hope that someone will identify the
underclothing by reason of its being of
hand make so far as the lace trimming is
concerned The police admit that it can
not be a case of suicide

eral lines of the reply of Spain to Ameri

lieves that the United States will accept
Spains answer which will certainly reach
the White House by Tuesday As a con
sequence of the United States accepting
the reply hostilities will immediately af
terwards be suspended

tion it points out that in order to avoid

it is expedient to agree before hand to a
suspension of hostilities

Rio the minister of foreign affairs and
Mons Merry del ValSpanish ambassador
to the Vatican will be selected to represent
Spain in the negotiations
The cabinet council terminated after
having completely confirmed the reply to
