The InstructionB bear the dateMadrid, July . 25th. These formalities dismiss all questions ttn the jninds of officials as -to the, reg ularity o the Spanish proposition as expressive of the wishes of the fgov- trnment. of -Spain. Aside from, this, M. Cambon is too, ntuen at veteran in di- plomacy to have embarked any pri vate overtures towaru peace. , :i As to the manner, of conducting the peace negotiations, several plans are said to be ooen beside that of. havine General Porter and Senor Castillo,the united states anduspanisn ambassa dors at Paris v respectively, conduct them, j One plan is to have Spain name peace plenipotentiaries who will -come directly; to Washington and conduct negotiations. This,! however, is said to to be somewhat inexpedient.as it would take nine days for , the Spanish plenlpo tentlaries to reach Washington - and there la evrtv flpsirp to avoid' Oelav. Another tentative plan is to have Spain name M. Cambon as; the Spanish plenl potentiary at Washington, thus con- fering on him -authority to treat ; di rectly with i the president and -carry I the negotiations forward to a conclu sion. . It is probable that this plan will be more t acceptable--" to the . ;' United States, as it would keep the negotia tions at ; Washington : and also!, give them an !agreeable personal character. as! the authorities l have the highest regard for the ability: and sincerity of the French representative here. These plans, taowgyen will not besettled un til after the president gites his answer jto the first Inquiry mad by Spain.
