A NATIONAL CELEBRATION ; Elle President and His Cabinet and the Governors of All the States “'ill Invited to Attend. An Enihuslasic Meeting of Citizens of Greater New Ynl‘k. New York, Aug. Ill—«There is no doubt now that the return of the batv tieships and cruisers to this harbor will be marked by a demonstration that “’1“ fltly celebrate their remarkable achieve- ments. As victors over a vaunted ilee'i. the destroyers of Cervera's masmficent men of war, will come to New York with so few casualties that the man killed and the two or three wounded or injured will be immortalized by their very scarcity in numbers. And the welcome down the bay and along the shore front of the great me- .trm‘olis will not be the end of th‘elcere- mcuy. Indeed, it will be merely a pre- fare or opening chapter to the celebra- ti< n 'that will come, for it was decided y sterday that a peace feast and fes- sval be held in New York to mark the close of the war and a committee on- plan and scope will be appointed by Mayor Van Wyck to arrange the de— tails. It was concluded that the time was too short adequvamely to demon- strate the gratitude of the people for the: outcome of the war, and more time and opportunity should be given to the mayor to complete arrangements for a grander celebration later on. The: character of the celebration will be-such that the people of the whole country may attend with profit, and not only the president and his cabine: will be invited personally by the mayor (and his committee, but urgent requests will be made to the governors of all states in the Union to attend with their staffs. In fact, an endeavor will be mad}: to make the event the greatest of the undever held. . , ..

' ‘ Hempstead, L. 1., Aug. 19.-—Afiter a I reviewing stand had been erected'and : elaborate Reparations made for the ‘ presentation of colors to the regiments i at Camp Black, yesterday afternoon, rain fell and prevented the proposed display. Fully eight thousand people 1 l assembled on the libtle eminence l in front of the Eagle headquarters: where the grand stand had been built, when at 4.45 o’clock dark clouds began to gather in the west and great drops of warm rain forced all to seek shel- ter. It was soon seen that the presen- tation could not take place according to schedule, so Colonel Schuyler, the post commander, invited the dcl-ega- tions from the Sons of file Revolution and the Society of Colonial Wars into the big officers’ mess tent of the» Two Hundred and Third regiment, where the flags were delivered to the several 1 regiments. Mr. Thompson made the presentation speech. ._ Therfl-ags were then turned over to the regiments and batteries, the col-or companies of the regiments having del- egations present to receive them. J ust previous 'to the time set for the presen- tation, before the rain had’begun, all of the regiments were drawn up in line, ready to march 'to the places as- signed «them. When the storm broke. however, all the colonels, with the 'sin- gle exception of Colonel Stephen Y. Sey- bu-rn, ordered their men back to their quarters. Colonel Seyburn, however, marched his men out on the field, where they stood in the drenching rain, until Colonel Schuyler, seeing them, peremp- torlly ordered Colonel Seyburn to take them back to their camp. The men were in their dress uniforms and did not have their ponc’hos. All were soak- ed to the skin. 3w " “wean-fl? Cervera Will Not‘Go Hom’e at Present. Washington, Aug. 19.—Ad=mir§l Ce"- vera will not return to Spain for the present, and reports from Annapolis stating that he would leave for Wash- ingtonto-day at the navy department are said to be due to misapprehension. The admiral has [made no application to leave, and it is believed he will be the last of the Spanish prisoners to go homaa‘s he has shown a fatherly re- gard for all thefoflicers and men, and appears to be desirous of seeing them on |their way ‘homemrd before he leaves. 0‘» The navy department has not taken up the question of the final disposal of ‘the Spanish prisoners, although it has passed upon one or two special cases in which the circumstances made spee- dy action advisable. One of these was the case of Dr. Jurada, the venerable Spanish naval surgeon held Wlltl'l the other Spanish prisoners at Annapolis. The doctors reported that Dr. Ju-rada. was very feeble, and that while he might be able to reach Spain if releas- ed now, he would not be able to make the [trip a month hence. The navy de- partment accordingly directed his re- lease, and the Spanish chaplain will be allowed to accompany Dr. Jurada to Spain. The case of Captain Moreu, comm-an- der of one of the cruisers of Cervera’s fleet, has also received special atten- tion by the department. It appears tha: Captain Moreu is not only an offi- ce of the navy, but is a member of the Spanish parliament. With the prospect that the parliament would reassemble at an early date, Captain Moreau was desirous of returning to Spain and ap- pearing in the sessions. In particular he expressed the desire of telling the Spanish parliament of the generous treatment accorded to him and all oth- er Spanish prisoners by the °Unltcd \ States. The officials here felt that such a statement from Captain Moreu could but have a salutatory effect. His re- lease was accordingly ordered. More Boni'gngne Bodies Seen. Boston, Aug. 19.-—Captain McCallum of the steamer Philadelphia, which ar- rived yesterday, reports that on last Monday at noon. when sixty miles to the southward of Sable island, the ves- sel passed close to the bodies of three persons. with life belts attached, from the ill fate-d steamer La Bou‘rgogne. 0.

VVaShington, Aug, 19.-——The war de-l partment yesterday I‘CCC‘iVed '3’ dispatch from General Merritt. reporting the fall of Manila and giving the details 05 the demand for surrender and incidents preliminary to the final capture of the city. The dispatch, ““1?th \had been eagerly awaited, was immediately communicat- ed to President McKinley. It reads as follows: .~ Manila, August 13- Adjutant General, Washington: On seVenth inst.

The war department has sent the following order to General Merritt re— garding the occupation of the city~of Manila by the American forces. It was first made public yesterday: Adjutant General‘s Office, Washington, Aug. 17. Major General Merritt, Manila, Phil- ippi-ne-s: The president dinects that there must be no joint occupation with the insur- gents. The United States, in the pos- session of Manila city, Manila bay and harbor, must preserve the peace and protect persons and property within the territory occupied by their military and naval forces. The insurgents and all others must recognize the military occupation and authority of the United States and the cessation of hostilities proclaimed by the president. Use whatever means in your judgment are necessary to 'th‘izs end. All law abiding people must be treated alike. By order, Secretary of War. H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant General. The meagre details in General Merritt's dispatch received from Manila yester- day are disappointing to army officers here. The results, already anticipated in the press dis-patches, are received with visible marks of approval. There is nothing in the dispatches received in the last day or two which indicates that the insurgents in the Philippines are more ugly than they have been. The officials at Manila are guarding against any uprising on the part of Agu'ln'aldio's forces. The instructions sent to Genera-l Merritt specify there shall be no co—operation with the in— surgents, who must understand that the United States occupy, completely and un-divi-dedly, «the city, bay and har- bor of Manila. The VVas’hington au- thorities do not anticipate any serious trouble with Agui‘ntaldo. There is a flutter of curiosity in the department of state some authoritative source just how much of a victory was gainled by our arms at Manila. If it be true that the entire group of the Philippine islands was surrendered with the chief city the responsibility devolves upon us foi- keeping order throughout the group It also greatly simplifies one aspect o} the problem which will be presented to the peace commission. The question of just how much we had gained by Dewey’s victory on the first of May has caused no little perplexity here. Manila, Aug. 13, via Hon Kon 18,—The Spanish flag. vghich i533; years has floated over the city of Ma- nila, was lowered this evening and the Stars and Stripes hoisted in its place The American band‘played ma "Star'- Spangled Banner" and Admiral Dew- ey’s warships fired 'a national salute It had been Admiral Dewey’s hope since he destroyed the Spanish fleet n4 Manila bay without the loss of a single American life, that he would be alone to effect the surrender of the city in a manner equally blood-less, and, so far as his own command is concerned, this has been accomplished. All of the lives that were lost in the capture of the city were due to the precipitate action of the army, whose haste 'to advance was in opposition to Admiral Dewey‘s advice. ~ Shut for 3 Deer. U~tica., N.

MUSTERING OUT THE TROOPS All the Regiments That Can Be Spared u ill Be Discharged, e W'ashington Aug. 18,—The order for the muster out of troops is being pre- pared as rapidly as possible in the of- fiCé of the adju’oant general, and Sec- retary Alger said yesterday that he thought it would be issued to-day. There had been, he said, no pressure from the officers or residents at any state to bring about the discharged any particular regiment. The only pressure. he said, came from the men themselves. ‘ 'They wrote that they had enlisted for the war, and the war being over. they wanted to go back home and re- sume the duties of' civil life. It was in response to these requests that the order to muster ‘1. all the troops that could be spa had been decided upon.

' A trust Against Tramps. Nutley, N. J., Aug. 18.—-'1‘he women of this place and Franklin have or— ganized the Ladies‘ Home Protective Association, and will carry on a vigor- ous crusade against tramps. A circu- lar has been issued in which attention is called to the large number of idle men who are to be seen in the town- ship. The circular says that while the men are’ apparently in quest of food and clothing, their real object is to steal whatever they can. In order to d‘ismurage the strangers the members of the society have agreed not to feed or give clothing of any kind" or allow it to be given at their doors, unless the applicant is recom- mended by some responsible person liv~ ing in Essex county. Wheeler Defends Cubans. Washington, Aug. 18.—General J e-seph Wheeler had a three-quarters of an .‘ hour conference with the president yes- ‘ terday. As to the possibility of a rupture with the Cuban insurgents, General Whee- ller’s statements were very reassur- mg. 3 "‘All the friction,” he said, “between the Americans and Cubans will soon pass away, and there will be harmony and the best of feeling among them.” General Wheeler believed the Cubans, when freed from oppression and given a stable and humane government, would becomh law abiding and useful people.
