rne PresIdent.s Manife.to

lowing was to-day promulgated by thu
President for the information of the public
Executive Mansion, Oct. 9th, 1886.
For nearly 8 months large share of the
time of the President has been devoted to
the hearing of applications for office and the
determination Of appointments. Much o.
the time thus spent has undoubtedly sub.
served the public good some of it has beer
sacrificed to the indulgence Of people in theil
natural INSTANCE upon useless interviews
and some of it has been unjustifably wasted
The public welfare and due regard for the
claims Of those whose interests in the gov.
eminent are entirely disconnected with Office
holding, imperatively demand that in the
future the time of the President should b.
differently occupied, and he confidently ex.
poets that all good citizens will acquiesce in
the propriety and reasonableness of tie fol-
lowing plan adopted to that end.
After the first day of November the presi-
dent will decline to grant interviews to those
seeking public positions or their advocates,
and on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
during that month. from 10 to IL o'clock in
the morning, he will receive such other per-
sons as call en- strictly public business; and
on the same days at 1:30 D. m. he will meet
those who merely desire TO pay their re-
spects, and on all other dsys and times du-
ring that month he will receive only cabinet
officers and heads Of departments.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
1t is said at the white house this afternoon
that the president will leave Washington
Sunday evening and proceed direct to Buff
falo, where he will cast his vote for the
Democratic state ticket and then return to
Washington, arriving here Wednesday
evening or Thursday morning. He will
probably make the journey alone.
The assignees of John Roach held con.
ference this afternoon with Secretary Whit
ney and the dsval advisory board, with ret
erence to the completion of new cruisers
The vessels are to be completed by the ma,
val department at the contractors yards
and by his workmen. The meeting to- day
was to make arrangements for going on with
the work. The secretary called for re-
port from The assignees concerning the or
ganization of yards where work is to be
done, the compensation of workmcn, etc.
This report will be made in few days.
The order to proceed with the work, will be
probably then be given.
WILL MAKE NO CHANGE.
The Star tonight says: 1t is underst God
that Secretary Bayard does not contemplate
making any changes in the consular service
in the countries south of the United States
for some time ". 1t is the policy of the
state department to cultivate more friendly
relations with Mexico and the Central
American people, and to extend our COM
mercial intercourse in that direction for this
reason. The consuls who have already Sc
cured the good opinion of the people with
whom they have to deal, it is thought it
will be of greater service just now than
would new men who would have to devote
much of their time at first to making &C
quaintances and acquiring confidence. The
delay in filling the consular and diplomatic
service, is due not more to q desire to re-
spect the tenure law, than to wish to
maintain high standing for the service.

sent the following communication to the
war department touching the operations OF
the troops pursuing the hostile Apaches,
under date of Santa Fe, October 9th:

that the hostile Apaches who

der Colonel Morrow to occupy q line from
Chambury, on the Southern Pacific railroad
terminus to Ciersgo, to patrol the Rio

later.
