Washington, Aug. 22.—,Th9 war de-
partment has posted the following ca-
ble dispatch from General Merritt, g1v~
ing the 'terms of the c-apitulation of
Manila:
Hong Kong, Aug. 20.

The following are the terms of the

The undersigned, having been ap-

urbs and the Spanish forces stationed

erican c-ommander-in-chief in the Phil-
ippines, and his excellency Don Fermin
- J uadenes, xacting general-in-chief of the
Spanish army in the Philippines, have
agreed upon the following:
First—The Spanish troops, European

the aforesaid United States authorities
until the conclusion of a. treaty of peace
between the two belligerent nations. All

No News from Dewey.
Acting Secretary Allen, after the
Merritt dispatches were received said
that nothing had come from Admiral
Dewey. It is supposed that a. merch-
ant .s-hip brought the Merritt dispatches
from Manila to Hong Kong, as the na-
vy department is not aware of the ar-
rival at Hong Kong of a diSpatch boat.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the axact significance of
the terms of capitulation as cabled by
General Merritt, but the best opinion
obtainable construed the. language to
embrace all Spanish possessions in' the
Philippines and not Manila; alone.
.i'iW‘hile the preamble specifically cites
the functions of the commission to, be
to determine the details of the Capitu-
la’tion of the city and defences of Ma-
h'lla, and its suburbs, and the Spanish
{dices stationed therein, it is pointed
flit that the word “suburb” is an elas-
to expression, and the language of ar-
tiEle 1, stating that the Spanish troops,
both the European and the native, ca-
pi‘tul-ate “with” the city and defences,
films to emphasize this Construction.
”This is the View expressed by war
oflicials and considered in this light
goes to confirm the- press dispatches
stating the capitulaltion involves the
whole Philippines. One unusual pro-
vision is embraced in the reference to
the return of surrendered arms, the ar-
t'lcle‘ providing for the return when the
Spanish evacuate or the American ar-
my evacuate.
In Doubt About Dewey’s Ships.
San Francisco, Aug. 22,—A dispatch
from Hong Kong says: “Consul Gen-
eral Wildman has requested of the
Hong Kong authorities permission for
the ships of the American fleet now
at Manila. to be allowed to dock and
repair here. The question presents
such serious complications that it had
to be submitted to the British home
government for an answa.‘ Mean-
while the harbor police ordered the
gunboat Zafiro, which arrived here
with dispatches fro-m General Merritt
and Admiral Dewey, to leave British
waters within twenty-four hours. The
government ls much dlstressedat the
situation.” ' ‘

”The Expenses Less Than at First Esti-

es of the war against Spain will prove
'to be considerably less than is gener-
ally supposed a-nd will not approxi-
mate the billion dollar mark.
“When the accounts made necessary
by the war between the United States
and Spain are settle ,” said Assistant
Secretary Vanderlip of the treasury de-
partment, “it will be found that 'the
war has cost us a great deal less than
many people have figured it would.
All talk about war expenses reaching a
billion dollars are the veriest nonsense
and cannot be substantiated either by
facts or figures.- It is more likely, how-
ever, that the expenses by the treasury
department on account of the war with
Spain will be inside the four hundred
millions, which was set'apart by Con-
gress for carrying on the war to the
end of the present year. Indeed, there
is a. probability mhat even rthis sum
Will not be found necessary in thvevent
of peace being finally declared.
[which shot away a good many dollars
lnition that has
, Redford, and
“Another matter to be taken, into
account is that the money appropriated
by Congress has been a great benefit
|to the country in doubling the number
,of vessels in the navy as well as ma-
terially improving and strengthening
the coast defences of the United States.
Expenses must necessarily run on for
a while about as heavy as though the
war were actually in progress; because
we cannot disband the army art a mo-
ment’s notice inasmuch as we do not
know that the war is absolutely alt an
end. All that We have to bank upon
- is the signing of the protocol, but that
is by no means a treaty of peace. Con—
sequently we must be prepared for any
emergency :that may arise while nego-
tiations are pending.
“I should say that expenditures on
account of the army and navy will be.
as great until the first of October, at
least, as if the war was actually in
progress, although there may not be
much powder burnt in the meantime.
One of the greatest items of expense
during the present war has been for
ammunition, particularly for the navy.
in those battles and bombardments in ;
which it was engaged. When “the war
broke out we were very poorly provided
with ammunition of every kind, and it
was necessary to buy large quantities.
and pay good prices for them. Of
icourse there is a great deal of ammu-
been ordered which
may not be used, but it must be paid
for even if it is only carried in stock.
Next to ammunition I would say the
question of transporting forces and
supplies has been one of the most cosr—
Iy features of the war, and this item of
expenditure is likely to be greatly aug-
merited when the troops are mustered
out and transported to their homes in
the various cities.

besides many injured.
Canton, Mass, Aug. 22.——Word was
received here at 7.30 last night of a
fearful wreck at Sharon, on the N. Y.,
,N. H. and H. road and an urgent re-
" quest was made for physicians and un—
dertakers’ wagons. All the physicians
In town,. as well as three undertakers
and their wagon-s, were immediately
dispatched to the scene. The surround-
Ing country has been aroused and a
large quantity of sheets, bedding and
rude hospital supplies were sent from
this-down to Sharon; The details of the
accident are not yet known, but it is
believed‘to have been one of the worst
that has ever occurred in this state.
It is said that the train doe at Sha-
ron at 7 o’clock, was 20 minutes late,
and While standing at the depot was
crashed into by the express. The rear
end collision has almost completely
wrecked both trains. -

*Manila, Aug. 21, 12.40 p. m.—The cable
that was cut by Admiral Dewey short-
ly after his arrival here has been re-
paired and Manila is now in direct com-
munication with 'the outside world.
The city remains quiet; The Ameri-
can officers are at present busily 3i;-
gaged in getting a government estab-
lished. There has been considerable
delay owing to the fact that it was
necessary to get further instructions
from lVashington.

Forty Six Killed at Manila.
Hong Kong, Aug. 22.—A dispatch
from Manila, dated August 18, says the
total number of killed on the Ameri-
can side during the attack upon and
capture of Manila was 46 and wounded
about 100. The Spanish losses were 200
killed and 400 wounded. The fire of the .
Americans did practically no damage
to the town or Ito the non-combatants.
The Americans :had considerable diffi-
culty in keeping the insurgents out of
the city, only admitting those who
were without weapons.
Spain Wants Our Captives.
Washington, D. 0., Aug. 22.—Military
authorities are surprised to learn that
the Spanish government has notified
the secretary of the navy that it was
willing to transport the Spanish pris-
oners of war back to Spain provided
they were unconditionally released. As-
sistant Secretary of the Navy Allen
says that our government has no in-
tention of agreeing to any such propo-
sition; that we will be willing to re-
lease the Spanish prisoners under pa-
role, but under no other condition.

Great Indignation Against Spaniards for
Crimes and Outs-ages Against Natives
of Porto Rico. A War of Retaliation
Threatened. A Town Burned by the.
Natives.
Ponce, August 21.—53eneral Miles re-
turned :to his headquarters h'ere Sat-
urday. He was greatly pleasedl by 'the
appearance of the troops at the front.
He witnessed target practice by the
soldiers and was present at a flag rais-
ing (at General Wilson’s camp this
morning, which was accompanied by
music and cheers. '
While at the front General Miles
communicated With General Macias .re-
garding the depredati-ons committed
between the lines. General Macias re-
plied courteousl and they jointly
agreed to apprehend the offenders near
their respective lines. General Macias
said the Spanish troops would begin re—
tiring shortly.
The commissi-On'for Porto Rico will
meet as soon as General Gordon can
re“ here. It is believed that the ex-
isting turmoil will cease upon the evac-
uation of the island by the Spanish
troops. ‘
Alarming reports of threatened out-
rages continue to pour in, but none of
. them was confirmed.
The heavens in the direction of Yacuo
1 and Juana Diaz appeared to be ablaze
llast night, and half a dozen big fires
have been reported, but no details
have been received. The fires were
. probably the work of natives engaged
in destroying Spanish property.
A small riot occurred here Saturday
“adjoining General Miles's headquar-
ters, but the disturbanoelwas quickly
quelled. Colonel Clause of Gen. Miles's

iards by flourishing this revolver.

Spanish residents of- the island within

mitted by the Spanish troops at Ciales,
where over eighty persons are said to
Iliave been macheted. The revolting
details of the butchery ’of ‘men and
women and nameless mutilations have
r
stirred a cry for vengeance. / ‘
Early this morning the natives burn—
ed the town of Cota, seven miles from
here. The Spanish residents fled for
their lives. Throughout the surround-
-mg country the Spaniards are- terror
stricken and are appealing to the Am-
ericans for protection. '
' The shops kept by the Spnnlsrls
here, which were opened after the sign-
ing of the protocol. have been closed
again through fear of the rioters.

: which hysterically demanded ven—

ish born residents was suppressed by
