The Americans never made a greater
mistake than in bringing Aguinaldo and

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Post to-
morrow will say: President Mckinley
will call an extra session of both houses
of congress as soon as Spain accepts
TIE terms of peace offered by the Unit
ed States.
1t has always been understood that
the senate would be convened as sooa
as the treaty of peace was ready 10 be
acted upon by that body. The atten
ton of the president has been called.
however, to a situation which makes
the assembling of the entire congress
necessary. This situation can be eX-
planned in a few words.
Under the law which provided for the
raising of the volunteer army, that
army goes out of existence as soon as
the war ceases. When this law was
framed it was not for a moment sup
posed that after the war had e2ded
there would be any necessity of keep
ing the army intact. The developments
of the war make it very evident that
instead of sending the army back to
civil life, fully 600 men will be need
ed It is the intention 20 distribute no
less than $4,000 soldiers throughout
Cuba, with 10000 in the Philippines,
ard, possibly, 10000 in Porto Rico. I'm
der the law, as soon as hOStilitieS
cease. the volunteer army is to diSband
and the regular army go back 10 its
peace footing, thus leaving only 2GOeO
men in the service. This is a total Tar
too small for the work that will be re-
CURED. Consequently, the aid of con-
gress will be needed to frame new laws
which will keep an adequate army for
garrison purposes
In addition to this, laws must be
passed to meet the new requirements
of government in the Philippines and
Porto Rico.
The president is naturally averse to
hot weather, and it may be decided that
the war is not ended until the senate
has ratified the treaty of peace. In
this case, congress will not meet until
the first or middle of September, as 1t
will take at least a month or six weeks
for the full details of the treaty to be
discussed and framed. The present
outlook is, however, for an extra ses-
sion at a much earlier period, in the
hope that it's work can be concluded be-
fore the fall campaign has reached its
height.

SCHLEY IS GENEROUS.
Gives Credit For Victory to All Who
Took Part.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-Shortly
after the great naval victory off SAN
tiago, in which Cervera's fleet was pur-
sued and destroyed by the American
vessels of war. under Commodore
Schley, Captain John Schley, cousin of
the commodore, wrote a letter Of con-
graduation for the victory won. To-
day he received a reply, which in part
was as follows:
MY Dear John-The victory Of July
8, so complete in results and so rich
in glory for our country, was the joint
product of everyone fortunate enough
to be engaged, and l ought rather TO
thank you in their name than 10 APP

Denver, Colo, Aug. IA special to
the Times from Lafayette, Colo, saws:
The Mitchell coal mine, one of the larg-
est properties of the Northern Coal
company, resumed operations today,
after having lain idle for over three
months. on account of the strike. A
guard of ten men, under the command
of Bert Holloway, an eX-deputy sheriff,
is stationed at the property, prepared
to resist all attempts at interference
from the union men.
Up to noon everything had progressed
smoothly, but it would eppear from the

Fighting Sp2niards.
MANILA TO BE ATTACKED
DEMAND FOR SURRENDER WILL
BE MADE SOON.
If Merritt Waits For All of His
Troops to Arrive No Movement
Will Be Made Before September
Insurgents Are Arrogant and
Threaten Trouble.

Washington, Aug. General Merritt
has again cabled to the war depart
ment as to the situation in Manila,
which he finds very unsatisfactory and
dangerous, owing to the attitude of the
insurgents. In the opinion ct General
Merritt, the attitude of the insurgents
there is similar to that assumed by
Garcia'S Cubans upon the question of
their right to enter and possess them
selves of the city. although in this case
the insurgents are a very much more
formidable element, being not only
more numerous, but better armed, and
filled with the arrogance following au-
merouS victories over their. Spanish
foes. General Merritt. however, indi-
Gates that he will do his utmost TO pro-
tect the citizens from the savagery of
the insurgents, though his task is a
delicate and difficult one, because of
the fact that he must, While fighting
the Spaniards, be ready at any moment
to repel the insurgents.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
in a joint demand for the surrender OF
the city to the United States forces,
thus forestalling the insurgents, and
this move may cause a rupture.
1t is possible, in view. of the fact that
General Merritt,s cablegram was sent
from Cavite last Thursday, that this
movement has been made already by
the combined military and naval forces,
although there is some doubt on this
point on account of a statement from
Merritt that he will receive Ill his sob
diers before attacking. 1t is possible
the demand might be made without
being followed by an attack, which
may be deferred until all the troops
have reached CaVite
Up to the date of the report, General
Merritt had with him about 1900 sol
dierS.
In all, seven expeditions have left
San Francisco for the Philippines, and
it is the intention to furnish Merritt at
least 5000 men more than his present
force. If he delays his attack until all
these have reached him, Manila will
not be taken in that way before Sep
TENDER, for the last of the troops have
not yet started from San Francisco.
1t may be, however, that the arrange
ments as to the Philippines, which, 1T
is expected will be included in the
peace treaty, will obviate the neces-
sity for further action on the part OF
the American commanders.

The meeting between mother and son
