MANY SERIOUS QUESTIONS Great "Change in the War and Navy Dc- partments Since the Protocol Was Signed, Peace Now Being Assured the Next Step Will Be to Settle the Diffi- culties by Commission. VVvashington, Aug. 15.—-:S'ince Secreta- ry of State Day and Ambassador Cam- bon signed the peace protocol on Fri- day, there has been the most remarka- ble change in the war and navy de— partments. For the first time since the memorable February 15, when the bat- tleship Maine [went down in Havana harbor, there is a decided relaxation in the work of the oilicials' in these de- partments. Peace is now an assured fact and the administration, realizing this, is giving its officials 11. little rest after their long and trying period of war and preparations for war. The next step which will be taken by the president, in settling the diffi- culties existing bets-teen the United States and Spain, is the selection of five commissioners who will represent the United States at Paris. It is understood that President McKinley has practical— ly decided upon "these con'rmissioners and will make their names public as soon as they have signified their wil— lingness to serve. Judge Day’s name will head the list. An official of the war department states that before September at least one hundred thousand volunteers will have been mustered. out of the service of the United States. The remainder of the army, as it is now organized, will have to be retained in the service of the government for several months. Troops will be sent to Cuba in large numbers; troops will be retained in Porto Rico and for some time the army will necessarily remain in the Philip- pines. The regular army will remain upon a war footing for many months, and in fact the'chances are that the size of the regular army will never be reduced to the old minimum, but rather will be increased. Chairman Hull of the House com- mittee on military affairs, says [11ch every effort will be. made by his com- mittee to keep a large standing army. It was his opinion that the army would never again fallbeiow 75,000 men, and might possibly be kept as large as 100,- 000 men. With the expansion of terri- tory under the sovereignty of the Uni— ted States it necessarily follows the: both the army and navy must grow in dimensions. The secretary of war is assigning the regiments mistered under the second call to corps. They are being ordered from their state rendezvous t0 the v:— rious army camps. These regiments organized under inc second call were yesterday ordered to their camps as designated: The Second \Vest Virginia to Middle.— town, Pa, Second corps. The First Delaware to Middle-town, Pa, Second corps. The Tenth Ohio, from Columbus, 0.. to Middletown, Pa., Second corps. The secretary‘s purpose in sending these troops out of their states is ‘not understood 3y army ofiicials. They will undoubtedly be among the first troops mustered out of service, and for this purpose will be sent back to their various states. It simply means addi- tional expenditure for the government for the transportation. As yet nothing has been heard in Washing-ton from either Admiral Dew- ey or General Merritt. Whether or not there has been an unnecessary loss of life in the Philippines has yet to be learned. Considering the fact that both of the American Commanders in the Philip- pines had been informed by the govern- ment that peace was near at hand, the officials of the administration hope for 'the best. Camp Alger, in Virginia, is to be wholly abandoned this week. All the troops now stationed at Camp Alger will begin immediately preparations for leaving. They are to march to Middle- town, Pa. The troops which left Camp Alger and are now in the vicinity of Manassas are also to march to Middle- »town and encamp at that place. Occupation of llIanila. Washington, Aug. 15.-It is expected that the American occupation of Manila will occur immediately after the receipt ’by Admiral Dewey and General Mer— rirtt of the order sent them last night. [This may not be deferred by the lack of cable facilities, as the American oc- cupation of Manila probably will result in the opening of direct cab-1e commu- nication between that city and the. outside world. The only difficulty thus far has been that the cable cdmpany would not recognize American control of the cable so long as the American forces were not ' in possession of the city. The orders sent Admiral Dewey are much more specific than those sent other naval commanders, as the occu- pation of Manila and the holding of the bay and harbor involve more impor- tant considergitigns than the mere ces- sation of hostilities. . It was at first thought the navy de-' part'ment had a. dispatch boat at Hong Kong ready to carry forward the or- ders to Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, but ‘the department learned to- day that no dispatch boat was at Hong Kong, although one was likely to reach there to-day or_ to-morrow. Meanwhile it is possible that Consul Wildinan may charter a steamer and send the orders forward. He has general instructions as dispatch agent, and it was said at the state department that these in— structions govern in the present case. General Greely is satisfied no use can be made of the cable connecting Hong Kong with Manila, as there are no ca.- ble operators at the Manila end. Mail Matters at Santiago. Washington, Aug. 15.--The reports from Santiago indicate that the arm cunt of mail matter handled there is enormous. On July 27 Mr. Kemper, the agent, reports that 30,000.pieces of mail were sent to the United States, on July 29, 12,500 pieces, and 'on August 1, 14,500 nieces. ...... w.. - f .— Four Ships Load-ed With Troops from - Santiago Arrive. ' , Camp Wikofr‘, Mon-tank Point, L. 1.. Aug. 15.-——There was great commotion in camp Sunday morning when the St. Louis and three other transports were sighted off the point and bore down on the landing place. With two companies of the Seventy- first New York, and the Ninth and Tenth regular infantry, the St. Louis was far in advance of the others. They were the Miami, bearing Colo- nel Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders, and the Matteawan and Vigi- lancia. , They hadibeen expected since early Saturday and as soon as the St. Louis was made out on the horizon, the bustle of preparation for the reception of her troops began. On board the Mat‘teawan and the Vigilancia. were the First regular cav- alry, Battery H, Fourth artillery, the Thirteenth and Sixth infantry. A small transport which was held in readiness at the dock, immediately put out to sea. to bring off the troops. The St. Louis sailed from Santiago on the night of the 11th, and the joy of her men and those of the other transports at once more setting foot on New York soil will doubtless keep the camp in a roar for the remainder of the day. Men already in camp have made a hundred and one preparations for the reception of their comrades in arms. and many relatives and friends are on the spot awaiting the landing of lived .is now completed and under ones. Officers have been busily making ready.the detention camp, which is rnow in shape to receive a thousand of Five hundred more tents are hospital General the men. up to—day and the detention ,Randall’s direction.

Washington, Aug. 15.-—It seems to he settled that Ambassador Hay is to sue- ceed Secretary Day when the latter be.- comes chairman of the peace commis— sion. The authority for this statement is unofficial, but from a source which shows that such is the determination of the president at present. The indi- cations are that Secretary Day's re- signation from the state department will be in and accepted within a week. It is understood that the president contemplates the appointment of Secre- tary Day to a circuit judgeship after the work of the peace commission has been finished. A bill is pending in Con— gress for the appointment of an addi- tional judge for the Sixth circuit, which includes Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky. The district is so large that it over— taxes one judge, and it is understood that the appointment of another will be authorized soon after the meeting of Congress, and that the new posi~ tion is to go to Judge Day. It is said, though, to be possible that Judge Taft, the present judge of the circuit, may retire, and that in that event Mr. Day will be appointed without wailing for action by Congress. Pope Broken ‘iVirh Age. Berlin, Aug. 15.n—A special dispatch from Rome to the Cologne Gazette says that the cond‘iiion of the pope is no longer capable of being disguised. His health has gone from bad to worse until now he is completely brok— en with age and infirmity. He rarely speaks, and when he does his voice is very weak. He is unable to write, work or foiiow the course of business in any way. Even thinking tires him and prayers confuse him. His holiness has been ob— served to commence the same prayer ten times without noticing the repeti- tion. In fact, his life is slowly ebbing away. Cardinal Rampolla attends to all of the Vatican business. The Blockade Raised. Washington, Aug. 15.—-Ths merchant vessels of the world are now open to enter and leave all Cuban and Porto Ri- can ports. The State department holds that no further proclamation is needed rais— ing the blockade of these islands. The orders issued to the military and naval commanders and the president’s proc— lamation of peace are said to be sulfi- cien‘t in themselves to end the block- a-de and open all ports to the shipping of the world. This means much not only to Spain and the beleaguered is- lands, b‘ut to the merchant shipping of Great Britain, France, Germany and other countries having commerce with Cuba and Porto Rico. Sampson and Schley Coming. Washington, D. 0., Aug. 15.--Admi- rals Sampson and Sch‘ley will come to New York on "their respective flagships, which have been ordered to that point. The orders issue Saturday night cov— ered the flagships of both admirals, but did not specifically state that these high officers would come. It is said at the navy department that no spec- ial consideration has been given as yet to the disposition of these offict‘s and- commands of various battleships and cruisers during the period of repairing the warships, but the officers proba— bly will remain with their ships, visit- ing Washington occasionally on per- sonal conference-s. ~ No Yellow Fever in‘ Santiago. Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 14.--General Leonard Wood, military governor of this city, and a. board of physicians have just completed a. house to house inspection of Santiago. Con'siderable sickness, mostly malaria. and dysentery, was found, but no authentic case of yellow fever was dis-covered. The san- itary precautions taken since the, oc- cupation of Santiago by the United States forces, have had the effect of re- ducing the death rate from 103 to 37 daily, on an average. The Spanish Commissioners. Washington, Aug. 15.--Litt1e is known here of the personnel of ‘the,Span_ish peace commission. The‘general belief, however, is that Senor Leon y-Castillo, the Spanish ambassador at Paris; Se- nor Moret, minister of the‘colonies; the Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of foreign affairs, and Senor Polo deBer- nvabe, the late minister at Washington, will be considered when the names of 'commissioners are chosen. l ARRIVALS AT CAMP WIKOFF. i »' PEACE NEWS AT SANTIAGO.‘ . -l—--- . City Went Fairly Wild When It Got News That Hostilities Had Ended. Santiago, Cuba, Aug. 14.--0n receipt of rthe president’s proclamation of a cessation of hostilities, General Shaf- ‘ter took steps for the immediate noti- fication of the Spanish commanders in the vicinity and 150 of the insurgent leaders. The'Spanish commanders at Manzanillo, Colonel Pirron, when he was notified, was asked to transmit the news to the insurgent leaders in the neighborhood. Jibari was also communicated with, and steps were taken to send couriers direct to Garcia, who is before Hrolguin, to inform him of the facts. General Shafter said yesterday: “I have no doubt that the insurgent lead- ers will act on the notification to: cease hostilities. Though not instructed from Washington, I have taken measures to inform them of the signature of the preliminaries of peace between the Uni- ted States and Spain. “I had conversation with many pro- minent Cubans in reference to the atti- tude of the insurgent forces, now that ‘the peace preliminaries have been sign- ed and hostilities ceased between the United States and Spain. All express the belief that the insurgents will loy- ally observe the conditions. So far as custom Cuba is concerned, the insur- gent leaders will immediately cease 0p- cra'tions against the Spaniards on noti- fication of the president’s proclamation. Garcia is operating now in the terri- tory at Holguin outside the part of the province under military occupation by the United States. “The president’s proclamation was received here with the greatest enthu- siasm. The officers and the men of the army of invasion are alike supremely satisfied with the definite declaration of peace. A period of uncertainty and inactivity is now ended. The spirits of all have been raise-:1 since the cessation of active operations befdre the city of Santiago.” Ll HUNG CHAMG AND RUSSIA Said to Have Promised Control of Impe- rial Customs. London, Aug. 15.—A special dispatch from, Shanghai, received here has the following to say: “The China Gazette states that the Russian government holds Li Hung Chang’s promise, made during his visit to St. Petersburg, that China would place the imperial customs under Rus- sian control whenever the interests of the two countries demanded the change. "Li Hung Chang is said to favor M. Pavloff, the Russian charge d’affaires, sup‘erseding Sir Robert Hart as inspec- tor general of the Chinese customs. “The emperor has issued several stri- king decrees ordering the viceroys and Tartar generals to concert measures for the formation of a new n-avy under foreign instructor-s, and urging the provincial governors to abandon time— honored Chinese ideas in favor of west— ern methods and to encourage the do: relopment 'of the country on European lines. ‘ Russians have obtained control of large tracts of land alonggthc route of the proposed New-Cb yang: railway.” To Reopen Trade With Cuba. New York, Aug. 15.—Steamship men, exporters and importers, and 'the com- mission merch-ants of this city are con- fident that the revival of Cuban and Porto Rican trade is at hand and that a rapid increase In commerce between the West Indies and this port will fol- low closely upon the establishment of peace. The Cuban trade of :the port, even in times of peace, the merchants say, has furnished no idea of what it may be in the future, under new conditions. The island has not had the advantage of 'civilized government, and its resources have not been developed as they will be now that Spain has lost control. Am- erican capital will furnish the stimulus and American settlers will go there to help build up the trade with their na- tive country. The export trade for Cuban ports will actually begin to—morrow, when the steamships Lydia and Matanzas of the Ward Line will clear for Havana, each with a cargo of provisions valued at $200,000. They will return in ballast, because it is too soon after the war for, Cuban merchants and planters to have anything ready for export. Three ships of the Munson line will also sail this week with provisions. Heport from Shafter Washington, Aug. 15.4-The following has been given out at the war depart- men}: Chba, Aug. 13.--The Rio Grande, Seneca and Comanche are here with the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, Fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry, all loaded, and will go out this afternoon unless a hurricane, of which reports have been had as blowing south of Jamaica, pre- vents. The Breakwater, City of Macon and Arka-dia will go to-morrow with two light batteries and the Twelfth and Seventeenth infantry. One of the hardest rain stdrm-s we have had is rag- ing this arte’rnoon. 'Am getting the sick that have to be left behind in very comfortable condi- tion. Two thousand Spanish troops are to be loaded to—morrow on the only other ship that is in as soon as it can coal, probably two days. Hope to get troops off so as to be able to start the latter part of the week for the United States. Will ship 400 con-valescents on Catani‘a Monday. SHAFTE-R, Major General. ._.. ,. \Vill There Be War? London, Aug. 15.—A dispatch to the Observer from Vienna says the concen- sus of opinion there is that an Anglo- Russian war is inevitable and that Rus- sia profits by its delay. The News Wiener Tagbl'att declares that England can only save her position by an alliance with Germany, stouvtly resisting Russian aggression. St. Petersburg, Aug. 13.--The St. Pe-~ _tersburg press are generally of the op- inion that the prudent and pacific por- tion of the British public, aided by a 'wise and conciliatory course on the part of the British government will be able to avert complications which Rus- sia sincerely desires to avoid. ~‘ 7 r "'sarx'u ____., % —_~ laatestin Wan Fairies.— New wash fabrics called “hanga- lihe, fancies" are shown in a: pretty, range ot.,.colors and designs. Creped zephyrs come from Scotch looms in delicate tints of green, cream, ceil blue, and mauve. Smoothly woven French ginghams have a glossy twill stripe that looks like satin, arid cotton crapaJ-ines are as lustrous of surface as silk. Watteau designs are printed on chiffon and sheer India and Swiss mus- lins. The oolorings are exquisite, and the floral patterns extremely beautiful. 'A' Use for Old Chullle Frocks. Fine all-wool 'challle dresses which have fallen a. prey to moths and are no longer wearable cut into the pret- tiest soft pillow covers. It is usually easy to dodge the moth-holes sufficient- ly, for cushion covers, and, made with a ruffle, they are, particularly, it in light designs, extremely effective. They are fire durable than silk ones be- cause of their laundering qualities, and stir less easily than those made of linen or dimity. . Etuminig’ Easily Frayed. , The new etamines have a. very open mesh and a silky surface. The are beautiful to look at and come in i e13 colors and designs, but the dressmak- ers say they are a most diflicult mater- ial to handle. The best of them are given to fraying, at any snug fitting, and grenadine or even organdie muslin has better staying powers than these attractive fabrics. In These Times.
