OFFICIALS BELIEVE THE SOON BE OVER WAR WILL NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—The Herald’s Washington corre- spondent sends the following: Convinced more than a week ago that Spain had determined to have peace at any price, the semi- official announcement from Madrid to-night that the Cabinet has approved the basis of the reply to the peace conditions im- posed by this country is accepted by administration officials as in official circles here to-night is that the war is over, with only the formalities necessary before This will probably not happen to-night of Spain’s acceptance of our terms. Embassador Cambon, I have reason to believe, has had confirmation through diplomatic channels of the press reports about Spain’s acceptance, but he will not be prepared to makeafor- mal announcement to the Presi- dent until the full text of the note, which the Madrid Cabinet has been at work upon to-day, is cabled to him. There is no doubt as to the accuracy of the Madrid cable to the effect that Spain’s reply will give no reason for further response by the United States. The fact is, the administration will not permit any further dickering for terms. The President was emphatic on this point at the time of his last conference with Embassador Cambon. In view of the announcement from Madrid, therefore, it is as- sumed that Spain has recognized the futility of further attempts to secure better terms and that the Madrid Cabinet has determined to accept all the conditions im- posed by the United States. All that remains now for bring- ing about the cessation of hostili- ties is the promulgation of a pro- tocol embodying the terms pro- posed by the United States and accepted by Spain. This will be done as soon as Embassador Cambon presents the note being prepared in Madrid to-day. Secretary Day and Embassa- dor Cambon have already con- ferred as to the details of the pro- posed protocol. There will, there- fore, be little delay in its promul- gation. The terms proposed by the United States will be em- - bodied in the protocol in the same language given in the first
