These three conditions being granted by Spain are to be taken as part pay ment In llau of the full Indemnity. What further payment Hhnll be re quired Is to bo determined by a com mission having authority to act for the president, subject to his approval. Whether Spain shall retain possession of tho Philippines us a whole or In part Is left to thnt commission to determine. The reason for deferring the de cision ns to the future of the Islands In this fashion Is becauso the administra tion Is not satisfied Itself; It Is not clear at this moment what sound pol icy should dictate in the matter. Mean while, and until the commission has satisfactorily disposed of the future of tho Islands, tho United States Is to exercise a military government over Manila lmrbor and bay. The com mission will be actually a peace com mission, and will prepare the treaty which will terminate foimully the war with Spain. However, a suspension of hostilities may bo sooner declared when tho Spanish government shall definitely accept the conditions above laid down and renounce Its authority over Cuba and l'orto nico.

The Post today says: "President SIcKlnley will call an extra session of both houses of con gress us noon as Spain accepts the terms of peace offered by the United States. It has always been understood that the senate would be convened as soon as the treaty of peace was ready to be acted upon by that body. The attention of the president has been called, however, to a situation which makes the assembling of tho entire congress necessary. This situation can be explained In u few words. Under the law which provides for tho raising of the volunteer army that army goes out of existence ns soon as the war ceases. When this law was framed It was not for a moment supposed that, after the war had ended, there would be any necessity of keeping the army intact. Tho developments of the war mako It very evident thnt In stead of sending the army back to civil life, fully 100,000 will continue to be needed. It Is the present Intention to distribute no less than 50,000 soldiers throughout Cuba, with 30,000 In the Philippines and probably 20,000 In Porto Ilico. Under the law, ns soon ns hostilities cease the volunteer army is disbanded, and thu regular army goes back to Its peace footing, thus leaving only 27,000 men In the service. This Is a total far too small for the work that will be re quired. Consequently the aid of con- gress will be needed to frame new laws which will keep an adequate army for garrison purposes. In addition to this, lawn must be passed to meet the new requirements of government In the Philippines and Porto Itlco. The president is naturally averse to calling congress together duilng the hot weather, and it may bo decided that the war Is not ended until the sen ate has ratified the treaty of peace. In this case congress will not meet until the first or middle of September, as It will take at least a month or six weeks for the full details of the treaty to be discussed and framed. The present outlook is, however, for an extra ses sion at a much earlier period, In the hope that Its work can be concluded before the fall campaign has reached its height. All eyes In ofllclal life were turned yesterday toward Madrid, for It was realized that upon the Spanish cabi net depended the restoration of peace. It had been announced here In a quar ter that removed the Information from any question of Its accuracy that the decision of the Spanish government was not to be submitted before today at the earliest. In tho absence of any new phase In tho negotiations hero speculation naturally turned back ward toward the remarkable meeting at the White House on Saturday, and great Interest was manifested In every particular respeotlng that event. A disposition was shown In some quar ters to question tho authority of the French ambassador to act as he did representing Spain. Dut it can again be stated that, regardless of any tech nlcal point, such as the absence of signed, sealed and delivered mall ere dentlals, which of course could no reach here In tho little time at hand that the president regarded M. Cam uon ns fully qualified to act as a rep rescntntive of the Spanish government In tho negotiations, subject, of course as are almost all ministers or am basBadors In these days, to the refer ence of tho work accomplished by them to the government they represent for final approval. M. Cambon made It so clear that he had been fully Instructed on ovory point likely to rise In the negotiations that the president was satisfied that by accepting him as the representative o Co.

Tho I'ottsville Hoard of Trado was ner- uiauontly organized last ovenlntr. with the adoption of a constitution and by-laws. imrty-hvo prominent merchants were elected as a board of directors, aud these men will chooso oxecutivo ollicors and ap point tho standing committees. The annual meeting of the Hoard of Health for the purpose of ro-orgauization was held last night and resulted in the re election of the old corps of officers. Dr. S. C. Spalding, the president, was on the sick list aud fur that reason the other members of the Hoard agreed to meet at his residonce on South White strcot. All tho members were in attendance. Aftor tho r Kitting of minutes and an ad journment sine dio, the rc-orgauizatlen was proceeded with. Tho certificate ot tho Horough Council s ro-appolntment of Mr. M. D. Malouo as a member of tho Hoard for a term of five years was read, after which Mr. Malouo was sworn in. Mr. P. D. Ilolinau was mado temporary ehaiiman and the election of officers for the ensuing year proceeded without tho slightest friction. Mr. Maurice Morrison nominated Dr. Spalding for president. Tho latter gentleman stated that he had already servod fire years in that capacity aud ho thought the honor should bo conferred upon one of the other members of the Hoard. To this Mr. Morrison replied that he nominated the doctor becauso ho had always found him a conscientious ollicial who at all times ruled impartially on affairs of tho Hoard, and ho added that tho nomina tion would stand. Messrs. Ilolniau, Malono aud Schmidt concurred iu this sentiment and tho doctor found the election gontly, but (irmly forced upon him. John W. Curtln was re-elected secretary aud Hon. Patrick Coury Health Ollicorby unanimous consent. Each mado a grace fill acknowledgment to tho Hoard, after which the president made a fow remarks He said ho had intended to mako an address on tho work of tho Board, but his iudis position provonted him from attempting it and ho felt constrained to ask that tho Hoard mako the sesHion as brief as possible. To this the rest of the Hoard readily assented and no timo was lost in bringing about an adjournment. As the Hoard was about to disperse Dr. Spalding called a halt. "Ono moment, please," said he, "I wish all tho gentlemen to remain for a few moments and step into tho dining room, where I have soino refreshments." Tho invitation was a complete surprise and sonio wero Inclined to enter a mild protest, but the doctor would listen to no excuses. Aro tney liquids, or sollusr ' some ono asked. "lloth," replied the doctor. "Step this way. geutlemon." A moment later Messrs. Spalding, Malouo, Schmidt, Holman and Morrison, the members of the Hoard of Health, Secretary Curtln, Health Ofiicer Conry, and W. J. Watkiusand Pierce Hutlcr, representing the Hebald and Nows, respectively, were seated at the festive board, upon which was spread a largo platter of deviled crabs, dishes of sliced ham, an ample supply of bread, butter, relishos and cake. Tho liquid refreshments wero presented in variety. Dr. Spalding smiled as he observed tho expressions of surpriso on tlio faces of his guests, who were promptly and liberally served with the edibles by the kindly housekeeper, Mrs. Wadlinger. After the repast there was a swapping of anecdotes iu the study as the guests puli'ed delicious Harauas. II UNDERWEAR. Shirts, 19c. Drawers to mate at 9arne price. Our best grades.

Bpuln In this mutter a vast saving ot time would be effeoted, and a point of tho most Importance that the nego tlatlons would bo technically conducted without the Interposition of any lieu trnl government. However, any ques Hon that might have arisen ns to the powers of the French ambassador was set at rest by the short, guarded an conclso statement Issued yesterday from the embassy Itself. Then. discussion turned on the nature of tho change mado at the instance of M. Cambon In tho list of American de mands. It was contended In some quarters that no change had been made, In otherB that an Important modifica tion had developed. As a mntter of fact, as to the Importance ot this change there is a difference of opinion between tho parties, tho administration looking upon It as Inconsequential, while 11. Cambon attaches Importance to It. However this may be, as the administration believes that the ohango Is not essential, and that It certainly does not affect tlio principle of the document, it might bo well to recap itulate briefly Just what he demands of the United States were. As to Cu ba, It Is demanded that Spain Is to re leueo her government possession and control.
