MADRID, Spain, (By Cable) -The cabinet council h3 com pletely approved the reply to the United States, whioh, it is said ac cepts the American conditions. Her Majesty also approves the general lines of the reply of Spain to America's peace terms, which Senor Sagasta . explained to her. The government ia fully con vinced that the note will be satisfac tory to the Washington government and that a suspension of hostilities will be its immediate consequence. From a well-informed source it is learned thttt while the answer to the United States' terms does not discuss the four bases which the United States make an essential preliminary to peace, and which Spain accepts without reser vation, it points out that in order to avoid the definite' negotiations being any way complicated by incidents of the war; it is expedient to agree before hand to a suspension of hostilities. El lniparcial proposes a new solu tion for the settlement of the Cuban . debt. It takes it for granted that the United States cannot be asked to as sume tho bm den of about 32, 000,01)0 (8100,000,000) of debt existing when the rebellion began in 18U5, and the 90,000,000 (S4io,000,000) spent nce, and it suggests that Spain should undertake to pay interest and redemption on the Cuban debt until the new West Indian republic is in a position to do so, which! El Irnpavcial affects to believe Cuba could soon do, when its' vast natural resources were developed under an American protec torate. , ' According to the most reliable Bources f information, the Spanish note is couched in dignified language. It asserts that Spain bows to the , force of circumstances, having done nothing to provoke tho war, into which she has been unwillingly led in the defense of her rights and territory. It expresses a willingness to' appoint delegates to meet the American commissioners to discuss a regime for the Philippines. Guyama Captured. Ponce, Porto Rico, (By Cable).

LONDON, Eng., (By Cable). -That extreme diplomatic ten sion exists between St. Peters burg and London, is generally admit ted, though the officials deprecate the alarmist reports which were recently current. It is hoped' that the firmer stand adopted by the Marquis of Salis bury, which seems to have already created some misgiving at. St. Peters burg, will have the desired effect of arresting Russian aggressiveness. It is felt both here and on the continent that tho outcome of the dispute in re-' gard to the new Chwang Railroad ex tension, is tho crucial point of the suc cess or failure of Great Britain's pol icy of "open doors." j As evidence of the fact that Great Britain appreciates the gravity of the situation the Associated Press learns that the admiralty is preparing for all emergencies and that it will soon be able to mobilize the entire fleet at the shortest notice.
