WASHINGTON, Aug, 8,vThe Spanish answer has just been received at the French embassy, It is quite long and the translation will take some time, SPAIN'S TERMS NOT RECEIVED, 6 . o The Formal Acceptance Expected to Arrive Early on Tuesday PROMINENT MERCHANT SHOT. Washington, Aug. 8. Alger, Longand Attorney-Gcncral Griggs, were lu conference with the president for an hour. At the conclusion of the conference It was announced that the official notification of Spain's acceptance of the peace terms hid not yet been received. Tho president expects they will be received early tomorrow. Nssarjr'svsarar''HtBB'WsiN SECRETARY DAY TO RETIRE. He Will Probably Be Chosen One of the Commissioners, New Yohk, Aug. 8 A Washing ton special to the Herald says: In connection with the probable selec tion of Secretary Day, as one of the peace commissioners, It Is stated that he will at an early date retire from the olllce of Secretary of state and pfter concluding his labors as a mem ber of the peace commission he will resume hU practice at law, at Canton. says Alger's Blunders. London, Aug. 8. The Times editorially this merning: "It Is a hard nut the negotiators have to crack regarding Cuba. The Americans cannot garrison the Island, and It will be rather absured to be compelled to ask the -Spanish troops to remain and keep order there. There Is such a thing as victory so complete and easy as to be more embarrassing than a struggle upon something like equal terms. Had the Spanish army in Cuba been beaten In the field, the situation would have been much less complicated as the administration of the Island would be taken over by the victorious army. 'The American war olllce Is the subject of severe criticism from men of all parties, and Secretary Alger.asour New York correspondent casually ob serves, is regarded seriously as a can didate for retirement into private life. Tliero undoubtedly 1ms been most serious mismanagement In con nection with the Santiago forces, and had no public opinion intervened upon the manifesto of the generals, it Is not Improbable that the war olllce would have gone on covering up its owp mistakes until the Santiago fcrees had succumbed entirely to dis ease and privation, "Now the troops are being deported from the Island as rapidly as possible, but with them goes every trace of American power to deal with' a public or which Spain is to be deprived." "No native government Is possible, no American government Is ready or likely to bo ready for a loug time to come, in tiie meantime, the Spanish army Is starving with the civil popu lation. Events seem to liaye moved so quickly as to leave the American war olllce absolutely unprepared to deal with problems much greater than the provisioning of the Held force at Santiago." The Daily News, In Its editorial, echoes the opinion of the Times re garding the Cuoan dllllculty. It characterizes General Shaffer's dls- datch a "one of the strongest and strangest that ever came from a mili tary bource," and says: "It speaks wonders for the censor ship of the navy department that the dispatch was never published. Had its publication preceded the declara tion of peace, It might have consider ably retarded that eyent." Prices Reduced. Santiago di: Cuba, August 8, 0 p. in. General Leonard Wood, the mili tary governor of Santiago, this after noon called a meeting of the butchers and retail provision dealers of the city with the object of formulating a tariff for the sale of the necessaries of life, for which the dealers have lately been charging exorbitant rates. All the dealers were highly Indignant at the interference of the military au thority in commcrlal matters, but GenSral Wood gave them until 11 o'clock tomorrow morning to agree on moderate prices, under penalty of a revocation of their licenses and the closing of their shops. A perman ent scale of prices will be tlxed tomorrow. Cuban" Debt.- "" London, Aug 8 The Madrid corre spondent or the Sunday Times says: Spain's answer will accept all the American terms except that regarding the Cuban debt. The government will light tnls point on the ground that In all other cessions of territory by one nation to another, the ceded territory has carried with it its own debt or the proportion belonging to the nation by which It is ceded. President McKlnley will receive the answer Monday, or, at latest, Tuesday, Senor Sagasta. In conference with politicians and generals, follows the example of Senor Castellar In 1873. Ills objects are two to provide tho responsibility 'or the decision and to avoid the convocation of the cortes. The news from Porto Ulco Is received with great d'sappolntment. Tiie Spaniards are disgusted with the welcome the natives have given the Americans and the news that the volunteers' have thrown their arms down. The general opinion is that It Is not worth while to risk lives and spend millions for the sake of terri tories which are worse than disloyal to tin mother country. It Is assumed that there will be no International trouble over the evacua tion of the West Indies. The war has ost Spain $So,000,000, The Open Door Shut. London, Aug, 8.

Clarendon, Tenn., Aug. 8. On July 30, J. T. Orr. a Dromlnent mer chant, was shot through the window at his homo and killed. Ills wife has been arrested, charged with being re sponsible for his death. It Is claimed the women hired a negro named Record, to lire the fatal shot. Much extltemcnt prevails and a lynching was narrowly averted last night. Seized. Madrid, Aug. 8. An offlcal dis patch from Porto Rice says the Amer icans seized the customs-house in the village of Fajardo, which place was without a garrison. An American column, the dispatch also says, supported by artillery, ad vanced on Guayama. The Spaniards made a brave defense, but were forced to withdraw to Alturas. seventeen of theSpanlsh were killed. PEACE TERMS PRESENTED, The French Minister of Foreign Affairs Has Received Spain's Formal Reply, 0- Paris, Aug, 8. TheSpanlsh ambassador this morning presentedto the French minister of foreign affairs Spalns formal reply to the peace terms of the United States, which were susequently cabled to Washington. .- r Arrested, Baltiomee, Aug. 8. Eleven mem bers of the First Maryland regiment, United States volunteers, now in camp at Old Point, who came to Baltimore this morning on the Norfolk steamer, were arrested on arrival, charged wltn deserting from the army. The boys were locked up, and will be returned to camp tomorrow. RECEIVING SPAIN'S REPLY, Coming in Painfully Slow and a Lengthy Document, Spain's Reply Will Be Probably Acted Upon at Tomorrow's Cab inet Meeting, Washington, Aug. 8 Jpaln's answer to the United States Is now on the way to Washington, but is coming with a slowness almost painful, in view of the earnest desire to know whether the acceptance Is complete or qualified. There are no less than live translations. The Impression Is growing at official quarters that the answer, while In the nature of a concession of the American demand, Is not a brief and simple acceptance. There's no olllclal advice on this point, but all adylces from Madrid Indicate that the response Is a document of considerable length and has several features which may not appear In the conditions .to the United States. It Is probable the reply will be in the hands of the government for its consideration at the cabinet meeting tomorrow, when tho sufllc tency or insufficiency of the rcsponso can be determined, HEALTH OF THE ARMY. o - No Danger of Troops Suffering Who Go Now o Returning Ooldhunters. San Francisco, Aug. 8. The steamer Tillamook arrived last eve ning, 15 days from Michaels, with 37 passengers, nearly all disappointed gold-seekers returning from the Klon dike.

Sne took in here the river steamer Rldeout. The Rldeout was burned almost to the water's edge shortly after leaving, and only by the exercise of the great est care was the trip made In safety. At Dutch harbor, a barge, belonging to- the California-Yukon Transporta tion Company, was taken In tow, but it had to be abandoned before the end of the voyage was reached. The barge began to leak, and when the leak got beyond control everything of value on tho barge was taken on board the Tillamook and the raft turned adrift. Murderers Identified.

Last Wed nesday a man giving hit-name as Jack Wilson was arrested for swindling a woman out of $5 by a short "change" method, after Jumping into a hear-by buggy, holding a revolver at tho drlver's.head and glylng his pursuers a furious chase.

Shatter has' telegraphed the president re garding the publication of "round robin" signed by general oillcers his command as follews: "I readily see what intense excitement the publication has occasioned; A great deal more than the situation warranted. The situation Is greatly aggravated from the fact that before any men were taken 111 they were thor oughly exhaubtcd. Seventy-live per cent of tho command have been down with malarial fever, from which they recovered slowly and are In no condi tion to stand attack of yellow fever or dlscctary. Placed here now in the condition In which they were when they came here, I do not believe they would bo In any danger. The regiment of Immunes that recently arrived are not suffering at all. What put my command In the present condition was that it had nothing butmeat, bread and coffee, with out a change of clothing, without any shelter whatever, during a period twice as stormy as it has been since the surrender, Troops reuch I ng hereon the middle of August need not apprehend danger.
