The benefit for the New York soldiers and sailors by tho Fmmlly Protective AsocJatlon, whloh was held tonight at tha 'Metropolitan opera house, was more in the nature of a re- oeptton 'to Ueutonamt Ilobson, Minister to Spain Woodford, and Captain Philip, of the Texas, than a benefit.

New Tork, August 4 -A special to the Tribune from Washington, says: Spain has practically agreed to tne term of peace without an king tor their mate rial modification. The hour spent by Ambassador Cambon at the White House this afternoon not only removed all doubt on this point, but sufficiently Indicated that a formal con. elusion of the negotiation would be se cured more promptly than had been ex pected by even the moat santrulne. The character of the Inquiries regard ing certain details demonstrated that Spain In all slncvrtty was ready to end the war, the sooner the better, but appa rently could not resist temporiilng for a few days for the sake of avoiding an ap pearance of too great precipitancy In surrendering and at the same tfme taking advantage ot the opportunity to gain a few trivial concotislona wblcU would be popular with Spaniards generally. To administration official who feared tedious negotiations extending over many weeks the delay of a few days longer be tore the consummation ot actual peace Is not altogether disagreeable, as tew pre paration have been made to assume sud denly the tremendous responsibilities whloh the "Immediate" evacuation ot Cuba and Porto Rleo fn valves, imme diate" In this case, meaning a practical evacuation tn a tew weeks, "It was a relief, therefore, when ehe French ambassador presented the Spanish memorandum touching upon certain mat ters which are considered unimportant as affecrrng the principles of President McKinley's demand with the strict Im plication that no question waa raised re garding the rellnqulstunent of all Spanish sovereignty In the West Indies, The desire of Spain, In her prostrate and Impoverished state to secure some slight concessions Involved In a more de finite statement regarding war material, period of evacuation, responsibility for Cuban independence and the 'limitations that might be imposed upon the commis sioners to conclude a treaty ot peace, showed clearly to the authorities that no further resistance would be enumerated 'and, In fact, that Spain has already de termined upon prompt submission. When M. Cambon left the White House, It Is believed that he was prepared to re move the last Indication of Indecision at Madrid and that not Inter than Friday or Saturday of this week he will be the bearer of the Spanish final dispatch to thel White House which will result In an im mediate armlstlc. PARIS THE MEETING PLACE. The Peace Treaty Will Probably Be Prawn and Signed There. New York, Aug. 4. A dispatch to the ERS HUGO TO EUROPE JUST THE SAME That a Big Display Will Have an I. Tribune from Madrid says: ' The significant feature of the situation I today la the fact that the queen regent i and Setnr Sagasta are both desirous that I tha detail of the final draft of the treaty of peace should, if possible, be conducted in Paris by Senor Leon y Castillo, the 8panish ambassador to France and the T'nlted States ambassador or commission ers. The reason for this Is that Snor Castil lo, txfde being devotedly loyal to the dynasty, la known to posses statesman like capacity of the highest order and bis experience and familiarity with Interna tional law are thought by the queen regent to be greater than thoe of any other available Spanish diplomat Owing, in a great measure, to the pat riotic efforts of General Polavleja, a tacit truce seems now established between all factors of Internal disorder. Neither the Carlists, the military leaders, nor the re publicans wish to come before the country at the present moment as the allies ot the United States. This truce I likely to last until the peace treaty ts signed. The feel ing of ail classes here Is that the humili ation resulting from thia disastrous war does not fall unan the Spanish nation but upon the dynasty and government, and that the national honor cannot be affected no matter what crushing terms America demands. Opinions on all sides are that the moment peace Is signed the govern ment will be made a scapegoat and the people will then turn savagely against the dynasty and make it answerable for the consequences. Tho caprice of the Madrid public was manifested last night by the hissing of some naval officers and naval cadets in uniform, us they took their seats In one of the Mudrid theaters. Much nonsense ht talked here about the debts of Cuba and Porto Rico. It may be stated once and for ail that Porto Rico has no debt, and as to tha debt ot Cuba, the royal decrees authorising the tesue of Cuban bonds were, unfortunately for Spain, so worded that, even tn the opinion of one of the legal advisers ot the crown, the Cuban debt Is purely a Spanish debt, .mpoalng no UabHity whatever on Europe. The bank of Spain holds nearly 900,000, 00t of pesetas worth ot Cuban bonds ot various denominations. Its position must become very critical should the United States, as Is generally expected, decline to assume any liability for them, either directly or by saddling a part of them upon Cuba. ' MISS GARDNER'S FINE GIFT. Santiago, Aug. 4. The Red Cross schooner Mary E. Morse arrived here this afternoon, being 24 days out from Kenne bec, with 900 tons of ice, the gift of Miss Adele Gardner, of Long Island. Miss Clara Barton presented the complete cargo to General 9hufter for the use of the army. BOOM FOR THE COAST. Chlcagvj, Aug. 4. The Illinois Manu facturers' Association today passed a resolution requesting the president ot the United States to Instruct those having In charge for this country the conclusion of the treaty of peace to exact for this country that the ports of all Spanish ter ritory In the Pacific ocean be opened up on the most liberal terms to all products of American Industry. CANAL WILL BE BUILT. j Senator Morgan Thinks the Recent Ac quirements Will Result In This. j Chicago, Aug. 4. Senator Morgan of Al abama, one of the Hawaiian commission ers, said today that the annexation of Hawaii would reauK In the construction ot the Nicaraguan caitaL Cuba was free, flj 111 P ha said, Porto Rico belonged to the United States, Hawaiia was annexer, and thf canal waa unavoidable. Our flag ha bn raised in the Philippines and no man la America would permit it to be hauled down. Not only would the Nicaragua canal be constructed, but there would be a ship canal connecting Lake Michigan, the Mlssiastppi and the Gulf of Mexico, and one between New York and Albe marle Sound. U was of the firm belie! that in the next century the United State would be, by common consent, the leader of the nations ot the earth. RESOLUTION OF CHURCHMEN. Great falls, Mont, Aug. 4. The annual conference ot the North Montana mission of the Methodist Episcopal church, pre sided over by Bishop Maillen ot Boston, today passed the following: Resolved, That we admire the advance step In our country's destiny as proposed In the terms ot peace, but we pray that the victory of, Dewey in the Philippines, shall be perpetuated In the complete de liverance of those Islands from the tyran ny nd desotarlon ot Spanish rule, and the future peace and prosperity of tho as people, as well as those of Cuba.

Estrada, Palma, the Cuban delegate last night sup plemented his statement of the day be fore regarding 'the reported differences be tween General Garcia and Shafter. "I thank," said General Palma, "that tha principal reason that General Garola with- drew from Santiago was because It waa not necessary for him to continue there with his troops after the surrender of the city.
