Embassador Cambon indicated that Spain is willing to accept rather than be compelled to continue the war. Fourth—It is utterly impossible for Spain, for“financial reasons, to con- tinue -the war, and the almost starving condition of her troops. in Cuba, par- ticularly in Havana, and in the Philip- pines, maké it impossible for her ta keep up resistance in either of these places many days longer. Fifth—Spanish volunteers in Porto Rico are showing themselves to be a wealkness rather than strength, and are leaving: the small body of Spanish regulars to- stand alone against the overwhelniing army of General Miles. Sixth—Internal disasters of the grav- est character threaten - the . Spanish Government, and all the military strength that can be mustered, includ- ing' the forces in’the colonies, may be needed at an early ‘date to save the monarchy. 8o ‘cenfident are. all the authorities that Spain will submit to our demands that the President is already giving se- r{ous consideration to many things that musgt be- done’ incident to the close ‘of the war. - He discussed with friends to- day the question of an early call for an extra session of. .ongress not only for the purpose of having the Senate ratify the treaty: of.peace, but to procure the necéésgary: legistatian in both houses to continue the volunteers in service and to. put the regular army on a war foat- Ing.as long as it may be necessary to occupy the conguered territory and also for such legislation affeciing Porto Ri- co and.

Should Spain aceept the ‘terms proposed by -the President it ‘Will then be’necessary for a represen- tative of the United States, who will be the :Secretary of State and a represen- tative of Spain, who will probably be Embassador Cambon; to meet and for- mally draft and sign a treaty based upon the terms proposed by the United States and accepted by Spain. 3 - CABINET COUNCIL DISCUSSES PEACE MADRID, Aug. 1.—The Cabinet coun- cil sat for four hours this afternoon discussing the peace terms.
