This opinion Is based upon knowledge of th time when the United States communication wm received In Madrid which ia not until an early hour this morning, the time required to decipher it, the aeceMity for so extended consideration of th matter by the Spanish eablnet and also the necessity for carefully framing tbs rejolner. It Is not meant by this statement to question in any manner th plenipotentiary power of M.

Bat his position is somewhat similar to that of tha president himself, who J obliged to secure th sanction of tha United States senate to any treaty of peace that he may prepare, for the ambassador must submit to the Madrid cabinet for its approval any agreement that he may enter into, Bnt in the drafting of nuch nn agreement he ia tally authorized to proceed In bU discretion and to guard against any poMibility of repudiation of his action he hM been given the minutest definition of the concessions that wilt be mad by the Spanish government on every point that by any poMibility eould be expected to arise in the.coorse of the negotiations ItwMnot known toonr government that M.

The progreM made in the negotiations hM given rise in some quarters to an expectation that hostilities are to be suspended very soon.
