IS IERY INDEFINITE. Spain's Reply to the Note Presented by Woodf'ord. CAN'T JUST FIX THE TIME WJien the War iu (Mm Will En.d, but It is JVot Far Distant. Aided by Americans are iHelcl to Blame fur Delay Iu Pacifying the Autonomy Ulufl Madrid, Oct. semi-oSicially announced that the reply of Spain to the note presented by United States Minister Woodfor.d has been drafted by the minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, and will be submitted to the cabinet to-day.

The reply, it is stated, will say that Spain is unable to fix exactly when tbe war will be over, but the ministers are presuaded it will not be long, because "tbe situation of the rebels is critical and the efforts of the Spanish troops are sure of success. Owing 1 to tbe rebel situation and the concession of and will be effective before January, the government hopes actual hostilities will finish shortly." Spain thinks the reforms and the activity of the Spanish troops are sufficient elements to secure the immediate pacification of the island, which, it is asserted, "would have been more rapid if the rebels had not had the succor of filibusters, who, under the shelter of the American flag, have contributed to maintain this state of affairs." Minister Woodford was received by the queen regent yesterday. The reception was of the, most cordial character. A private cable message from Washington declares that "President McKinley will endeavor to induce the insurgents to accept autonomy, and if they refuse he will do his utmost to put an end to agitation and to prevent filibustering." The government has decided that Gen. Priiuo De Rivera is to retain command in the Philippine islands, in order that he may initiate the proposed reforms and reorganize that colony.
