gressileness, is responsible for a datger-

Spain Now Holding a Conference on the

New York, August 5. A dispatch to the
World from Madrid, says::
Tho explanation of its peace terms asked
from the government at Washington, es
pecially regarding tho Philippines, Is ex
pected today.
If it Is received then Spain's final an
swer to the United States will be made
on Saturday. After the cabinet councils
the ministers declined to furnish any In
formation concerning the dispatches re
ceived from abroad. It is rumored, how
ever, that the governments are sure to
come to an understanding for the suspen
sion of hostilities this week, as in realtty
the only question now at Issue are unim
portant. The Independent press and the opposi
tion organs are fuming because Sagasta
has persuaded the regent to summon to
Madrid the wisest of her statesmen and
generals In order to commit them Irrevo
cably to the peace policy, appealing to
their patriotism and loyalty, asking their
co-operation in preserving order through
out the peninsula and requesting a frank
expression of opinion oa th advisability -

THE PORTO RICO CAMPAIGN. ;
Miles Continues to Make Fin Progress
and Displays a Masterly Policy..
New York, Aug. 5. A dispatch to th
Herald from Ponce, via St. Thomas, says:
General Miles, having received Inform-
.. sk a n. tallWaiM um
" . ""J""' l .Z
Pone to San Juan has been mined by tho
Spaniards, has formed practically a nw
plan for th Porto Rlcan campaign. . ,
In accordance with this new plan Gener
al Stone, with some Wisconsin troops. Is
pressing rapidly toward Arecfbo, on th
northern coast of the Island, and General
Brooke, who has arrived, with General
Harris, and 1.9X) men, will advance toward
San Juan from Arroyo.
By this plan General Miles will avoid
risking the lives of the American troops
through the explosion of mines along the
military road and the use of explosives
which the Spaniards have hidden In the
bushe along the way. At the same time
he will foil a considerable body of Spanish
troops In the town of Atbonito, where the
enemy was uudentood lo b rdj to
make a strong resistance
The unsafe portion cf the military Uti,
by the reports brought to C.enur.1 Mdes,

point e. railroad and good dirt road ex

on will be sent by transport to Aroclbo
and tt will be a simple matter to take
them with the army toward San Juan.
While the Spanish capital Is toeing
threatened from the west by the advance
ot General Stone's troops, the troop
under General Brooke and General Harris
will ibe moving from Arroyo to Cay.
where they will seise the military road
beyond the danger points and from which
place the Americans can advance rapidly
from San Juan.
The Spanish troops, who are preparing
to resist the Americans at Albonlto, unless
they make a forced march from that
place toward San Juan, are likely to find
