A* Vieweil in London. liOmlon, Aug. 4.—The Madrid corre spondent of the Tillies, telegraphing Tuesday, says: "The rumors that President McKin ley Insisted on getting a definite reply not filler than to-morrow set-in to tie confirmed by the unusual rapidity of olllclitl procedure here. Generally, when tlie Spanish Government litis to take au Important derision, a long se ries of Cabinet Councils is devoted to what is culled. 11l semi-official phrase ology. 'exchanging impressions'—a eu phemism for talking at large, bringing recalcitrant members Into line, and postponing a decision until the mor row. "It was expected, therefore. In the most Important question, war or peace that these preliminary operations would require many days. In reality. If not entirely dispensed with, they were got through ill a single sitting; and the whole procedure of examining the American demands, deciding on a course of action, anil preparing a for mal reply, was accomplished, if we may trust the Madrid press, In less than twenty-fly- hours. We May Assume Liability, Washington, Aug. 4.—lt Is under stood to he the present Intention of the Administration to assume liability for all the Indebted claims preferred by American citizens against Spain on account of Injury to personal prop erty in Cuba.

WATSON'S FLEET. Fence Proposals Do Not Delay the lls pell tlon to Bputu. Washington, August 4. —Ample evi. denee Is furnished that Cabinet offi cers were in earnest when they said that Spain's overtures toward pence would not retard the aggressive cam paigns of the United States military and naval forces. Not only are the preparations for conquering I'orto Itico going ahead without the slight est disposition on the part of the au thorities to be Influenced by the pres entation of the Spanish note, but the naval administration Is equally active In expediting Its plan for punishing tin enemy. M. Cambon's visit to the White House on Tuesday nlglit very naturally lias been construed to have ended the usefulness of the much-ills-, cussed formation of warships officially designated the eastern squadron, lint better known ns Watson's fleet. In quiry at the Navy Department to-day, however, developed thut tills is uot the case. The vessels of the eastern sqmulron are lielng prepared for act ive service without regard to diplo matic notes and consideration of peace propositions. It was shown by the m reserved remarks of naval officials that the Navy Department lias not ta ken any official cognizance of Simla's admission that she wants the war to end.

Their arrival will give Gen. Miles a force sutHcleut for a movement on San Juan. Senor Aunon, the Spanish Minister of Marine, says that jealousy of Amer ican steamship companies Is causing difficulties to the Spanish Transatlan tic company in carrying out Its con tract for the removal of the surrender ed troops In Santiago. French government officials explain that Madrid's appeal for peace was presented at Washington by the French Ambassador because he has been charged with the care of Spanish Interests in America since Minister I'olo withdrew.

Washington, August 4. —Secretary Alger lias made a careful review of the reports of sickness at Santiago sent to the War Department by Gelt. Sliafter during the last week, lie has reached the conclusion from this ex amination that the situation In the city ami province Is not so serious as seems to be Indicated by a disconnected read lug of the dally reports. The Secreta ry asked Gen. Slmfter on July 20 to make a dally report of sickness and death iu the Fifth Army Corps to the War Department The first report was received two days later, and gave vital statistics for July 21. There were on that day 214 new cases of fever and one dentil from dyseutry. Previously there had been 17 deaths unreported, 2 of which were from dysentery. On Sluly 22 there were 6 deaths from yel low fever, and tills record caused some keen anxiety. Up to this time there have la-en 50 deaths from disease iu Shaffer's corps, but although the number of cases of sickness have in creased greatly, encouragement Is found In the fact that many patients have already recovered so as to re turn to duty. The Medical Depart ment of the Army reports that only 10 iter cent, of fever cuses are yellow lack. MI UHDB Our Flag Flies in Porto Rico's Chief City Now Occupied by Miles. CAPITULATES TO NAVY.
