SPAIN'S REPLY HERE
f Now Being Translated-
WASHINGTON Aug. 3 10 a. m.
Until long after the midnight the sec-
retaries of the French embassy were at
work last night on Spain's answer to
President McKiuley's peace terms.
The message of course was received
in cipher. It means much work to
translate the note from the code into
Spanish and then into English. In
nmte care is necessary lor the reason
that a change of a single word might
wreck the negotiations.
Before the close of the day M. Cam-
bon will probably place the note in
the hands of the president.
Unofficial reports received at the
White House are to the effect that
Spain has accepted the terms. In that
event the war may practically be
brought to an end this week. There
will be work for the army for many
months to come however in Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines but
the impression is strong that the last
battle with Spain has been fought
Ustil the treaty is signed sealed and
delivered with the approval of the
senate however the army and nary
will be on guard
Spanish diplomacy is regarded as an
uncertain quantity and the president
will keep his forces in position to re
sume the conflict without delav.
While Spain is declared to ave ac
cepted the main propositions without
reserve there are rumors that the Ma
drid cabinet is maneuvering to save
something out of the wreck
Sagasta it is said will ask the pri
vuege 01 retaining all war
material in the islands to be evacuated
and he will likely make an effort to es-
cape part of the debts of Cuba and
Porto Rico. It is also stated that be
has asked for details as to the time and
manner in which the Spanish troops
must be withdrawn from the West In
dies.
So far as has been learned through
administration sources of information
however Spain has raised no question
that cannot be settled by a peace com
mission representing the two coun
tries
GOOD COMBINATION.
Captain Sigsbee To Get the Texas.
New York Aug. 3. Captain Sigs
bee now of the St. Paul formerly
commander of the Maine will probably
succeed Captain Philip as commander
of the battleship Texas. Captain Philip

Captain Sigsbee is also about to lose
is ship the St. Paul which is to be
returned to the American line. He
was promised the command of an ar-
mored cruiser or battleship as scon as
vacancy occurred. The Texas is the
rst vessel of this class to nunt
self
HAWAII
Will Muster Her National
Into The American Army.
San Francisco Aug. 3. Hawaii
ill have the honor of furnishing a

battalion of infantry among-the Hawai-
ians and nominate officers for it.
There are now about 400 men in t.h
Hawaiian national euard. and m a
attahon of infantry numbers about
00 men all the guard will have a
chance to enlist.
NEW CONDITION
Asked By The Cubans For The Peace
Settlement.
Nw York Aug. 3. President Mc-
Kinley will soon le asked to include
the provisions on which peace will
be reestablished with Spain the free-
ng of all Cubans imprisoned -by that
country for offenses which may be
classed as political. In all the Snin.
lsh penal colonies Ceuta and the like
there are about 500 Cubans who have
been captured during the last three
years.
FIRE PROOF WOOD.

ships.
Washington Aug. 3. As one re

tors authorized by congress at the last
session should provide for the. 11HA rtf

AN IRISH YACHT
Will Challenge For the Ameri-
Cup.
London August 3. Your correspon-
ent had an interview this morning
with Ssir Thomas Lipton who
proposes to challenge for the America's

Shamrock. England and Scotland he
said had failed to capture the trophy.

The whole affair from the challenger's
point of view should be distinctly
Irish.
ENTHUSIASTIC.
Porto Ricans Prefer Annexation to
Self Government.
Ponce P. K. Aug. 1 via St. Tho-
mas Aug. 3 The St. Louis arrived
here this morning bringing the Porto
Rican refugees Antonio Mattia a
wealthy merchant; Kapbeal Mu
noz Mateo Faiardo Jose F.
Marie! and biz others
These men started a revolution in Por
to Rico a year ago. They went to San
Domingo but came back were caught
by the Spanish and put in jail but were
released and have been in New York
since.
upon tneir arrival today they were
received by the populace as heroee.
Thejsands played American airs pro
minent men made speeches of welcome.
people fell on their necks and hugged
and kissed them and wept tears of joy
xneir progress to ineir cornea was
one continual ovation. The returned
refugees had a conference this after
noon with leading citizens of the town
They said later that there was no ques
tion but 90 per cent of the people want
ed annexation. They feel that the
United States is their deliverer and
would rather join the American repub
lic than have self government.
Accompanying them was Mr. Sut
ton United States minister to Hayti.
Besides the i refugees the St. Louis
brought General Brooke and the Third
Illinois volunteers. Gen. Brooke land
ed and reported to General Wilson. The
St. Louis also brought Mr. Robinson
irom w asmngton to 'establish a post
umce aere. general wnson said a
post office would be opened tomorrow
morning.
NOT READY YET.
Long Discussion Over Territorial
Expansion.
Galveston Texas Aug. 3. (Spe
cial to the Herald.) The democratic
state convention went into permanent
organization this morning adopting
the reports of the credentials and per
manent organization committees as
agreed upon last night.
ine platform committee was not
ready to report and after considerable
miscellaneous speech making the con-
vention adjourned to 3 p. m.
-Lue committee on piatiorm will re
port adversely to Bailey's anti-im-
perlalism resolution and he will make
a minority report and defend it with an
elaborate speech.
The discussion is likely to absorb all
the afternoon and nominations will
not likely be made before tomorrow.

from first reports of relative
strengtn oi rival candidates and it
is about assured that the
following will be nominated: For
lieutenant governor J. N. Browning:
attorney general Thomas S. Smith;
comptroller 11. W. Ficley; railroad
commissioner Allison May field; super
intendent of public instruction Joseph
Kendall; associated justice of the su
preme court Thomas J. Brown.
LI HUNG CHANG
The Friend Of America Aoain In
Favor.
San Francisco Aug. 3. Pekin ad
vices brought by the steamer Doric
July 18 throw fresh light on the cable
news that Li Hung Chang is once more
in power and acting as chancellor un-
der the empress Dowager. This was
brought about through the weakness
of the emperor who is recognized
totally unfit to deal with large matters
of state.
The empress dowager who is a very
able woman convinced him that he
must retire Wong who for several
years has been the head and front of
the party opposed to all foreign re-
forms and improvements. Foreigners
and the progressive oartv in China
are delighted. IS'o more radical or
more necessary first step toward pro
gress could have been taken.
The emperor was at last made to see
the old fossil Wong in his true light
and induced to rid himself of his "old
man of the sea" who wanted to be
head America's friend Li Hung Chang
during the Japanese war.

Must Trust Congress.

Chronic Jurors.
"Have you noticed the regular erang
of chronic jurymen in this town?" said
a business man this morning. "It is
wortn your wane to notice them. They
know more about the cases and when
they are to be called than the judges
and lawyers and are invariably on
hand to serve a jurors. Tbey will put
themselves directly in the way of the
constable when they know he is look
ing lor jurors and in some Instances
ask him if they cannot serve.
"borne oi them too make vary good
jurors. Tbey bave nothing on their
minds excepting the case which is be-
ing tried and the fee and they listen
tD the evidence with all. the attention
possible. The longer they serve on a
case the greater tbe fee and why
shouldn't tbey be contented? I bave
noticed this for years and the same old
faces appear today that appeared when
I first made up my mind to watch '
them.
'One of these professional jurymen
was talking to me one day about a
oertain case that was to come in tbe
afternoon and explained the whole af-
fair to me telling me who he thought
was the guilty party. I became so in-
terested in the case from his version of
it that I concluded to attend the trial
which I did.
'The first man my eyes rested urxm
was the professional juror to whom I
had been talking. He was with the
crowd to be examined for a juror in
tbe case and I wondered what business
he ' had there. Finally it
came his turn and the
lawyer asked 'Do you know either of
the parties in this case?' 'No.' 'Do
you know anything about tbe case?''
'No. 'Are you prejudiced either for
or against the parties in this case?'
'No. ' He was accepted and the man
he told me was guilty sure enough
was."
