Shortly before midnight Secretary Alger, as he left tbe White House, after a conference with the president, said the administration had received no official information that the Madrid government had accepted the terms of peace proposed by the United States. Unofficially the president had been informed that tbe Spanish ministry had accepted the terms of this country for a cessation of the war. The unofficial news reached the president in the form hot only of press dispatches, but of a private dispatch from consular agents of the United States. While this government has strong reasons for believing that its terms of peace have been agreed to by the Mad- rid government, the president is taking nothing for granted. Arrangements for pressing the war to a successful conclusion are going forward precisely as if no negotiations for peace were in progress. Notwithstanding these warlike preparations, the belief inofficial circles tonight amounts almost to a conviction that active hostilities have been practically concluded. A prominent official of the administration Baid: The end is near, in my opinion. The information thus far received is unofficial and meagre, but that it is accurate in the main we have no reason to doubt. In fact, we have reason to believe it ia correct.
