HOW Mun iizii;
Augustin Says General Merritt
Accepted Spanish Terms.
EXPLAINS HIS DEPARTURE
The Capt. Gen. or the Philippines Refused
to Accept Responsibility for Either
Capitulation or Resistance Under the
Circumstances. Capt. of» the Kaiser-in
Augusta Wished to Be the First to
Cable News.
Rome, Sept. 18.—The Tribuna. pub-
lishes an interview which its correspon-
dent at Aden had with General Augus-
tin, ,formerly governor general of the
Philippines. In the course Of the in-
terview General Augustin recounts va—
rious events which took place during
the defence of Manila, which city, he
says, was without resources, without
a. sufficient force,‘ without artillepy.
without supplies and without hope of
receiving reinforcements from Admiral
Camara.
After the attack on July 31 by Gen-
eral Greene, and that of August 2 by
General Anderson, supported by the
Pennsylvania volunteers, the blockade
was made more stringent, and as a re-
sult of the operations conducted by
General Merritt, further resistance be-
came impossible. '
The committee of defence were di-
vided, some being in favor of capitu-
iation, while others advised extreme re-
sistance. General Augustin, who was
Without instructions, declared that he
would not assume the responsibility
of capitulation or of resistance, which
would bring about the sacrifice of thou-
sands of peaceful persons, and resigned
his command to General J audenes, con-
fining himself tO figuring among the
defenders of the town as an ordinary
soldier. .
The general attack on the place was
made by the Americans, the line of
defence was broken and the capitula-
tion was effected. The conditions im-
posed by the Spaniards were accepted
by General Merritt, who entered Ma-
nila. at the same time that General Au-
gustin left ii’on board one of the boats
of the German cruiser Kaiserin Augus- i
ta. _ -
On this “boat he found his family.
They had been rescued by Admiral
Diedrichs, who had previously come to
an agreement with Dewey.
General Augustin explained the hur-
ried departure of the Kaiserin Augusta.
by the fact that the admiral desired
to send the German emperor the first
news of the capitulation. The Kaiserin
Augusta steamed from Manila 'to Hong
Kong in thirty-eight hours, which was
extraordinary speed; ,
At Hong Kong General Augustin
and his family took passage in the
Princess Heinrich for Genoa. Just_af— ~
ter leaving port the steamer was over-
taken by a, violent cyclone, and for a
time was in serious danger, many arti-
cles of baggage being lost. Senora Au-
gustin fell and fractured her left wrist..
General Augustin denied that his
wife had been a prisoner of Aguinaldo.
She and the children. were going ,to.
Pampayo by rail. This district was
occupied by insurgents.' The family
was protected by a regiment of'militia
commanded by Captain Blanch, and
after many adventures reached the
coast and embarked in a. native boat,
which saved them. , 9.
General Augustin arrived at Naples
yesterday and left for Madrid. He has
intended resuming his seat in the Sen—
ate.
Wheeler to Retain Command.
Washington, Sept. Ill—Orders will be

Meade, and the Ninth is to be distrib-
uted throughout Arizona and New
Mexico to relieve the Seventh.

[75; THE ARMViNVEsricAfION. H
The President: Will Probe the Charge: to
the Bottom. ,
rWashington, Sept. l9.—Evan P. Ho-
well of Atlanta, Ga... who was asked by
fthe president to serve on the commis—V'
sion to investigate certain departments
of the army in connection with the war,
! was at the White House Saturday and
formally accepted the appointment. In
,his interview the president assured
Mr. Howell that it was his purpose to
secure a commission which, without
fear or favor, would probe to the bot-
tom the charges 'made by newspapers
and individuals involving the efficiency
and integrity of officers of the army,
and give the country the facts. The
secretary of war had asked for an in-
vestigation, and the president thought
it due to all concerned that the inves-
' tigation be made at once by a commis-
sion in whose honesty of purpose and
ability there could be no question.
:Under he citrcumstances, Mr. Howell
assured the president that he would
gladly accept the appointment, as he
:regarded it a duty which no citizen
' should evade. Mr. Howell thought that
therewould be no necessity for the
commission to leave Washington_dur-
,ing hie inquiry. Oflices forits use
iwould be secured in or convenient to
the war deparmtent, where the official
records would be a thand. '
The only purpose of the presiden tin
securing if possible nine members Of'
the commission is to lghten the labors
of the individual members. According
to his idea the work of the commission
could be divided among sub commit-
tees so that the larger the commission
the easier would be the work for the
individual members. If, however, the
president was unable to secure the ser-
vices of nine members, he would pro-
ceed with seven. He expected that in
any event the commission would be
completed within the next few days.
The men who already have accepted,
or who, it is confidently expected, will
consent to serve, are Colonel Sexton.
General Dodge, Mr. Denby, Mr. Howell,
Dr. Gilman and Dr. Keene. As to the
power of the commission to compel of--
floors and otherstc testify as to factsi‘
within their knowledge, the‘president'
assured Mr. Howell that if the commis-
sion met with any difficulty, which,
however, he did not expect, he would
know the reason why. ' ; _
After a conference of half.an,;h'0'hr
with the President Saturday, General
Schofield announced that he wOuld‘ not
serve as a member of the Commission
to investigate the conduct of_the war. '

Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Sept.
19.—While Camp Wikoff will, within a.
few days, he deserted by all troops with
the exception of guard details, it is still
intended to maintain the camp as a
permanent institution, to serve the
purpose for which it was originallyyes-
tablished, in the event of emergency
arising. ,
It is recognized that the necessity
for such a camp will exist as long as
there is occasion to keep American
trops in Cuba and Porto Rico.
In the event of yellow fever gaining
' a hold Montauk will serve as an army
quarantine hospital, and if considera-
ible numbers of troops are sent home
lfrom time to time. invalided from the
:effects of the tropical climate, Camp
Wikoff will be used as a. place of rest
{and recreation just as it was at the'
close of the late campaign. 0.
Extensive provisions made with this
idea ‘in view will make the camp site
available at afew day's notice. All
that: will be necessary will be to pitch
tents, for the floors will be kept ready
in storage, and the extensive system
of water supply, with all the pipe lines..
steam pumps and 'tanks, will be kept
in condition for impending u$.
There are fair roads now running all
- over the camp, and the freight yard and
quartermaster’s storehouse will render
easy the question of supplying the
troops with what stores are necessary.
Near the station the engineers have
constructed a permanent road by
which trope can be safely taken from
trans and transported into the heart
of the camp. . ‘
In both the general and detention
hospitals commodious frame wards
heated by stoves have been erected, so
that the patients now remaining may
be well sheltered when cold weather
comes and so that the hospitals may
be ready for occupation at any time Of
the year. , ~
.Major Brown, who has been in charge
of the general hospital from the first,
has been directedto write a history
of the camp, covering all the sanitary
features in full detail. This will be
submitted to the war department with-
in a few days. , - '
Dr. John Hall Dead.
~ New York, Sept. 19.—The Rev. Dr.
John Hall, pastor of the Fifth Ave—
nue Presbyterian church in this city,
died Saturday ’mOrning in Bangor,
county Down, Ireland, in the residence
of his sister.
Dr. Hall was on his annual visit to
Europe. He was suffering from heart
trouble and his health was broken
.down. He had been seriously ill for
two days before his death. .
His wife and sons, the Rev. “Tom”
Hall, and Professor Robert Hall, were
present at the bedside of Dr. Hall when
he passed away.
He was one of the most famous
preachers in America, and his fame,
did not rest upon that foundation. of
eloquence which made the names of
his contempbraries~Beechen Phillips
Brooks, Talmage and" others known
from one end Of'the country to the oth-
er. 4 \
He was not an orator. "He had met
the gifts whiclfi sway emotions and
carry hearers along. Hewas a man of
overpOWering personality, of tremen-
a ripe scholar. ' -
over the richest church in Amerifca,
the beloved pastor of a. church that
numbered 2,400 people. ,
Dr. Hall’s fame was won in New
York by the force Of his character, his
good work among the members of his
congregation, 'his many charities and
his interest in public affairs, although
he took no active part in them.
He was a_.pnodlgious worker. Where-
las pastors of other large and rich
churches in New York have two and
three assistants, Dr. Hall did all the
work connected with his church alone.
vNo church in America has contributed
' tional and charitable work as the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian church. The vol~
a. year for many years. It has long
.been a. social and religious center, and
-it includes in its membership men of
[enormous influence. The aggregate
‘wealth of the members of the church
has been estimated at $400,000,000.
Dr. Hall was born in county Arm-
agh, Ireland, on July 31, 1829, and had
therefore passed his sixty—ninth birth-
day. He was off-scotch parentage. His
eldest son, was nineteen years old.
After receiving a. classical education
he‘ entered Rdyal college, Belfast, and
after'hisgraduation he took the course
of the General Assembly’s Theological
College. He 'was licensed to preach the
gospel in 1849.
Dreyfus Hiding in South America
the playwright and journalist, has
long maintained that Dreyfus was
rescued from Devil’s island two years
ago through the instrumentality of a
French syndicate organized to secure
the liberation of prisoners in penal set-
tlements who can pay heavily for their
freedom.
Sims now says: "The real difficulty
the French government is in with re-
gard to Dreyfus is to find him. .When
he was rescued from Devil’s island two
years ago and a substitute left in his
place, the government officials, terrified
at the outcry which would be raised
in France, accepted the substitute.
