SUSPENDS OPERATIONS.
The Authorities Are All Congratulating
Each Other on the Successful Outcome
of the Peace Negotiations and FParticu-
larly Upon the Wonderful Success of the
American Army aud Navy.
A Washington special says: Ambassador
Cambon received a cablegram late Thurs-
day evening aounouncing Spain's approval
of the protocol, and directing him, as the
diplomatie reprosentative of Spain, to at.
tach his signature to the instrument. The
ceremony of signing it took place in the
diplomatle reception room at the state
aepartment,
In addition to making public the terms of
the protocol, the President immediately sent
out a formal proclamation setting forth that,
whereas Spa'n has accepted the terms of
peace negotiations proposed by the United
States, all military and naval commanders
are directed to suspend further operations
against Spain pending the work of the
peace commission, This armistice bad al-
ready been prepared.
Although it has not been doubted for a
moment since Ambassador Cambon's call at
the White House on Tuesday that peace
was ecartain, there was a feeling of relief
among officials of the administration when
word was received that Spaln had auth
fzed Ambassador Cambon to sign the proto-
¢0l. The authorities are all congratulating
each other on the successful outcome of the
peace negotiations and particularly
the wonderful success of the American
and navy, whieh has brought about

The end of the war has come much eariier
