July 30.-Thc reply of the United States to the overtures for peace, made by Spain through the French ambassador here, was handed to that diplomat at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The formal answer was finally agreed upon and signed at the cabinet meet ing this morning, the answer having practically been agreed upon by all the members of the cabinet at the session yesterday afternoon, the only question left open being the final disposition of the eastern problem. The following is a summary of,.the conditions stated in the reply upon which Spain can secure peace: Absolute cession to the United States of Porto Rico and all islands in the Wesi Indies save Cuba. Relinquishment by Spain of sover eignty in Cuba. The United States will exercise control there until a stable government can be established. Acquisition of coaling stations in the Ladrone Islands, and perhaps the Carolines. No assumption of Spain's Cuban or Porto Rican debts by the United States. No war indemnity from Spain. As to the Philippines, it was de cided to leave their government open for the present to be determined later by a commission to be apppointed by the two countries, the United States meanwhile to exercise control and jurisdiction over Manila, its harbor and immediately surrounding terri tory. It is also agreed that the Spanish American commission is to have charge of the entire question for the terms of peace, on condition, however, that the Spanish troops are removed im mediately from Cuba and Porto Rico and that the United States shall have one.of the Ladrone Islands also. It was agreed in the cabinet yester day that a statement be made public this afternoon when the reply to Spain was handed the French minister, but at 2 o'clock to-day the President de cided that the statement intended to be made public should not be given out. He reached this determination upon representation that such a course would be a violation of the proprieties of diplomacy, which require that such a note shall not be published before it is known to have reached the nation addressed, and even then reasonable time must be allowed for an answer. The terms in the reply, however, are officially stated in the summary given out this afternoon. Immediataly after the adjournment of the cabinet at 1 o'clock Secretary Day sent M. Cambon a courteous note requesting him to call at the White House at 2 o'clock to receive the answer to Spain's peace note. Promptly at 2 o'clock the ambassa dor and Secretary Thiebaut visited the President in his private office aod courteously received the note. Secre tary Day was present. The American reply distiictly gives warning that the proposition 'as to surrender of all sovereignty in the West Indian waters and the selection of an island in the Ladrones is beyond any discussion whatever. As to the Philippines the reply says in substance that as further indemnity to the Uoited States for its expenses the United States will hold Manila, its bay and harbor, pending the determination of the future gov ernment of the whole island group. One island of the Ladrone group is to be ceded to the United States, this government to make its selection later on. In demanding the surrender of Spanish sovereignty in all near-by waters the reply diplomatically avoids making any pledges as to what is to be done by this government as to Cuba. Thc defermeut of final disposition of the Philippine problem was based on substantially the following grounds: First-That the United States has no satisfactory knowledge of existing conditions there. Second-Nothing is known of what obligations were incurred as between the United States forces and the Phil ippine insurgents. Third-The present attitude of the insurgents is unknown. Fourth-The extent to which Aguinaldo controls the islands of the Philippine group is unknown. Fifth-Incident to the foregoing, it is not known what would have to be done by this government in subjugat ing the insurirent forces, the Spanish and the natives. Looks Like Peace. WASHINGTON, July 30.-Events of the most momentous character occur red at the conference at thc White House this afternoon between the President, Ambassador Cambon, of France, and Secretary Day, carrying the negotiations far beyond the mere submission of terms of peace by thc j l'ii i ted States, and reaching thc point ? I of a preliminary basis of peace be tween the Government of Spain and the Government of the United States, needing only thc ratification of thc Madrid Cabinet in what was done to day to bring the war to an end. This was accomplished on the part of Spain when Ambassador Cambon presented ? to the President credentials he had j received from the Spanish Covern-j mont appointing him envoy extraordi-I nary and plenipotentiary with com plete instructions a.s to thc manner of acting upon every one of thc peace cond i ti on s presented by the United States including thc disposition of, Cuna, ?'orto Rico, thc Philippines, the Ladrones, indemnity, armistice, and other questions likely to arise in thc course of the negotiations. With these credentials authorizing him to speak as plenipotentiary for the Government cf ?Spain, and with full instructions on every point at issue, Ambassador Cambon. in 1 of Spain, not only received the conditions laid down by thc Ami Cabinet earlier iii the day, but er upon their full discussion with a to reaching a final and complete ; ment. After strong argument President and Secretary Bay cons to a modification of the Ann terms in one particular. What modification relates to is not disci but it is believed not to apply t condition for absolute incjepeni of Cuba, the cession of Porto Ri< the granting of adequate coalini tions to the United States in Pacific, or to diminish in any particular the terms on ?which ] will be restored. This-?modifie brought about practical unanimit tween the President and Ambasi Cambon. as plenipotentiary for S and the latter has now transmitte< results of the conference to Mt for approval, which, if given, wil! the war. The profoundly important rei developed to-day came about most expectedly. Ambassador Cami call was set for 2 o'clock, and it expected to last but a few min while the answer of the United St was being handed to him. But s the original proposition of Spain presented last Tuesday M. Can had prepared himself to speak 1 authority on the questions which i to arise. The President himself preferred this course, although side of himself and the ambassa few were aware that the latter wi come ready to treat as the envo Spain. The first instructions to Cambon made him merely a med of communicating Spain's first n but now he appeared with all attributes of the direct diplom officer of Spain, empowered to act the.Government within his very c plete instructions. The meeting was held in the Pr dent's library, and the subjects i cussed, and thc impressive mannei which the argument proceeded it, 1 a conference destined to become mi ora le. After M. Cambon had ] seated his credentials as pleuipotei ary. and they had been examined ? his status recognized as the envoj Spain, the first business was the r sentation of the terms laid down the United States Government. Sec tary Day read the terms, pausing the end of each sentence to allow Theibaut, first secretary of the Frer embassy, to interpret into French the ambassador's knowedge of Engl is limited. This reading by Secret; Day and interpreting by M. Theibt took but fifteen minutes. Then beg the discussion point by point. The President and the ambassa( addressed each other directly, w: the greatest freedom and frankne each stoutly maintaining the just of his position on the several poii involved. When at last, after eloquent plea by the ambassador, was agreed to modify the conditio in one particular, Secretary Day wit drew for half an hour and attended drafting the modification. This accomplished the ambassad addressed himself to the Presidei not so much as the advocate of Spai but personally, having with the Pre: dent, man for man, a like interest humanity. M. Cambon is a man fervid eloquence, and he spoke wi an intensity of feeling which made deep impression on the President ai others present. Ile spoke in Frene each sentence being caught up at interpreted by M. Theibaut wi rapidity, so that the earnestness the ambassador's expression lost litt by this indirect method of commun cation. The President spoke wit equal frankness, and in the lengtl; discussion, there was scarcely a poii in the whole range of the war whic was not met and freely considered. What the modification is that ht been agreed upon can bc only conje tured. but. there is reason to belie; that it relates either to the time whe actual hostilities will be suspended < else to the extent of our interest i the Philippines, leaving unchange thc condition that Spain shall wit! draw from Cuba and Porto Rico, grar the United States coaling stations i the Pacific, and make important cot cession in the Philippines. It is now for the Madrid Govert ment to give final approval to wba was partially accomplished to-day. 1 is even possible that this approva may come very speedily, within a da or two, for there is no need of extende conferences or correspondence. Al that was accomplished to-day whe; M. Cambon acted as plenipotentiary From thc fact that he acted unde instructions thc prospect would seen tn be hopeful for Spain's ratifying what has been done. But it is fo Spain herself to determine betweei the issue of peace or war as now pre sented. - A prominent statistician has fig ured out the wheat crop of the Unitei States for ISMS.

Send for Hst uf tes tirjaom'nls CONCERNING THE BLACK DIAMOND. Mr. J. L. Tribute Says Something Has io he Done, or We Will he Left out of the Deal.-Col. Boone Gives Us :$0 Days; Something Has to he Done or the Black Diamond Will not Come Through Anderson. The following letter from Col. Boone in reference to our relations with the Black Diamond ought to stir our people up. We have arrived ,'at the forks of the road, and the question now is what are we going to do about it ? The amount we are called upon to raise, at this time is ?1,920.00, and I have found a few gen tlemen with enough enterprise to risk some money in it, but with the subscrip tion from the City Council, and private subscriptions, I still lack $1,020.00. I beg to remind our people that we passed resolutions last November, pledging our support to this enterprise, and Mr. Kirk by,! president of: the system, and Col. Boone were led to believe that we meant what we said. I certainly thought so. The expenses of the expert have to be met, and our people can rest assured that if we sit still, expecting the promoters to pay these expenses, and give us a road, we will wake up when the road has been permanently located somewhere else. I Now fellow citizens, I do not propose to bother ?you again with this matter. This is my last appeal to you to help yourselves. I am willing to risk my part of this money, trusting to the future for results. If the road ultimately fails, then we will have lost, if it should prove a success, then we have gained a foot hold for all time in the commercial world. There is no absolute certainty about anything except taxes and death. Col. Boone uas shown a disposition to help us and has stood by every promise he has made to me, so far, but if our people now propose to do nothing, then he is absolved from all further promises made to us in this matter. I beg our people to remember this one thing. It has been a long time since any one offered to run a through line of rail road by your door, and if "Vou let this opportunity pass, it will be ? longer time still, before anyone else offers to do so, and if you ever get a through line after this opportunity is thrown away, you will put up more money than is required to do the preliminuyjffork in this road and more than $15.0ou,00 in bonds con ditionally. 1 will wait a few days to see if our people will raise this $1000,00; upon your action the future of Anderson rests. It seems to me this question should come right home to our young business men, who will surely reap the benefits of this road, when built. J. L. TMKIILK. COL. UOONE'S LETTEK. ZAXES VILLE, O., July 27, 1898. * Mn. J. L. TKIBBLE, Anderson, S. C. My dear Mr. Tribble: Upon your pledge that the people of Anderson would work as one in the Black Diamond cause, I changed my plans to take the main line via Anderson to the South Atlantic in stead of ria Augusta, Ga., down the west bank of the Savannah. The people of Anderson must back you up in the effort you are making, and should not ?tie a string to their back. Let Anderson work to get the road. South of Anderson the road will take care of itself at the proper time. Ander son should raise at least $2,500 tobe used in aiding the cause. Anderson's council should take off the embago on the $100, and let it go nore, or else you may depend upon it that no expert will visit Ander son, S. C., until it is done. Anderson must act at once if she ex pects the expert to go as far south as Anderson. My idea is to get the road built from Anderson, S. C., to Greenfield, Indiana, some 00:5 miles and then Cyn thana, Ky., to Columbus, O., ICS miles, and Vevoy, Indiana, to Vincennes, Ind., 175 miles, and so on until all the main arteries are built. Your people at Anderson want to send your cotton goods to the north west, and get coal, bacon, meal, Hour etc. in ex change. You can get aloug without a seaport connection for a while, anyway. If Anderson don't want to keep faith, I will agree to release her from her pledges, and go back to my first idea, clown tho west bank of the Savannah, ria Augusta to Savannah, Ga., and I now expect something done, ono way or the other. 1 will send this letter to you through myj partner and associate, Mr. Kirkby, for him to add his idea and views. Try then again, perhaps your people will yet wake up before it is too late. I enclose action of the Directory of Ohio, given at Ki pl ey, O. The whole north is alivo and awake to the Black Diamond movement, and nothiny can now stop its completion. We want for your sake, the Mayor of Anderson, and your people, for the Black Diamond to go ria Anderson. It now rests with your people to act and you must act inside of the next 30 days. Truly, otc. AI.BEKT E. BOONE. Suppressing the Illiterate Vote. The supreme court of the United States has sustained thc validity of thc Mississippi election law. This law was enacted for the purpose of "suppressing" by legal methods the illiterate negro vote of thc State, and imposes among other qualifications a rigid educational restriction. The re sult has been to disqualify the major ity of thc negro voters of thc State and to assure white supremacy iu State and local administrations. The supreme court of thc United States holds that as the election law applies to illiterate whites as well as to the ignorant colored votes, the restrictions imposed by the statutes arc ''within the field of permissible action under thc limitations imposed by the federal constitution." - According to Gen.
