TROOPS FOR MANILA.

Next Expedition Will Cross the Allan
tic Ocean Instead of Pacific.
New York, Dec. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The next regiments to start for Manila
will embark at New York about the
end of this month and will go through
the Suex canal. The expedition will
consist OF three regiments OF regular in
fantry, distributed between two OF the
largest converted transports owned by
the government, with perhaps convoy
of two warships. Arrangements are
now being made for this expedition by
Adjutant- General Corbin as rapidly as
possible, in view of its great import
ance, and especially as it involves CO.
operation by the state and navy de-
partment authorities, as well as those
Of the war department.
The decision to use New York as the
point of embarkation instead of San
Francisco, whence all the earlier forces
started for the Philippines, was reached
by General Corbin after q careful re-
view of a number of considerations,
chief among which was the urgency
for haste. The early completion OF the
treaty of peace with Spain renders in
dispensable prompt increase OF the
American forces. not only at Manila,
but to provide additional garrisons for
important centors in the archipelago,
which will Immediately fall under
American domination with its accom-
panying responsibility for the security
OF life and pfSperty.
At the present time the government
is wholly without available transports
in the Pacific ocean TO meet the emer-
gency. The dispatch of two vessels
from the Atlantic, it is believed, will
therefore be particularly advantageous
for the double purpose of bringing
home from Manila such volunteers as
can soon be spared, and increasing the
transport feet in the Pacific. The
three regiments of regulars have not
been selected, but as none but those
now in New York state and other At
lantic garrisons can be spared, the con-
clusion was forced upon the authorities
that economy as we'll as rapidity oi
action required them to be sent by way
of the Mediterranean instead of jour-
neying across the continent and then
undertaking the trying and monotonous
voyage on the Pacific with no haven OF
rest after leaving Hawaii.
Actual steaming distance for full
! powered vessels from New York to
Manila, via Sues, is given by naval
photographers as IL, ,6o5 knots, while
that from San Francisco to Manila, via
Honolulu, is given as 1850 knots. To
Manila from New York by way of the
Cape of Good Hope is lS, $50 miles, and
by way of the Straits OF Magellan and
| Samoa il is 16, 900 miles.

DEATH OF GARCIA.
rhs Cuban Patriot Victim of the
Northern Climate.


Washington, Dec. l3.-ijeneral CAL
ixto Garcia, the distinguished Cuban
warrior and leader. and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as
sembly to visit this country, died here
this morning, shortly after 10 O'Clock,
at the Hotel Raleigh, where the COM
mission has it's headquarters.
The srdden change from the warm
climate Of Cuba. with the hardsbips
he had there endured, to the wintry
weather Of New York and Washington,
is responsible for the pneumonia
which resulted in his demise. he con-
tracted slight cold IN New York,
which did not assume an alarming
stage until early the part OF last week.
Last Tuesday night. General Garcia.
in company with the other mem mbers Of
the commission, attended dinner
given in his honor by General Miles.
and il was a result OF the exposure that
eliminated in his death.
During the l2 hours or more preced-
ing dissolution. General Garcia was
tervals lie recognized one or more Of
those about him. In his dying mo-
ments, as ali through his busy and ac-
tive life, his thoughts were for his be-
loved country and its people. and,
among his last words, were irrational
mutterings, in which he gave orders to
his con. who is on his staff. for the bat
tie which he supposed was to occur to-
morrow, and in which he understood
there were only 400 spaniards to COM
bat. Just before he died he embraced
his son.
Rev. Father Magee, Of st. Patrick's q
church. was called ID during the day,
and was with General Garcia until the
end, administering the last rites Of the
Catholic church. Other members oi
the commission and Mr.. Rubens, their
counsel in this country. were also in
the bed-chamber when the end came.
The remains were Immediately pre-
pared for burial, and were placed on a
bier in the room in which he died. A
large Cuban flag served as covering,

dimensions. The face and bust were
left exposed to public view. The fea-
lures had a remarkable lifeIike appear
ance, and gave no indication of the
suffering which the deceased had
borne. Just above the head rested a
magnificent floral piece of red and
white ribbon. BY direction OF Major
General Miles a detachment Of soldiers
from battery E, Sixth artillery. under
command OF Lieutenant Cox, was de-
tailed as a body guard for the remains.
General Garcia, whose name will
ever be linked with those of other pa,
tTiots who have fought against unequal
odds for the freedom Of his country
has had most active and varied life,
most OF which has been spent in fight
ing for the cause Of Cuban liberty,
which he had the satisfaction of seeing
accomplished SO short time before hii
death. He sas man of culture ant

wORD FROM DEWEY AND OTIS
Securing the Release of Span
ish Prisoners,

Washington, Dec. 12.--The navy de-
partment has received cablegram from
Admiral Dewey, summarizing the ex-
listing conditions at Manila, and such
points in the Philippines as have been
visited by his officers. Adyices also
have been received from General Otis,
the commandant Of the United States
military forces in the islands. and they
both go to show notable improvement
in conditions and the growth OF bet
ter spirit among those factions of the
natives which promised to give trouble.
This fact is particularly gratifying,
as the United States Cover nment is al
ready giving considerable attention to
the best means at hand to redeem the
pledge it was placed under by the treaty
Of Paris to secure the release Of the
Spanish prisoners held by the Philip
pine natives. There are about 500
clerical prisoners, and the government
is confident that their captors will de-
liver them upon proper representations
from General Otis and Admiral Dewey,
made possible through Consul Wild
man. It may be necessary to call the
navy into service in this matter, ior
the reason that some Of the prisoners
are held in captivity on other islands
than Luzon, which can be reached best
and most effective by Admiral Dewey's 8
ships.
Besides these clerical prisoners, the
Americans themselves hold nearly 49,
900 Spanish soldiers as pi isoners. men
captured at the fall OF Manila. These
are actually on parole about the city,
and the question is how are they to be
returned to Spain. This must he set

The anti-expansionists ask how we

Rnrtitionfng Of China.
slsanehai. Dec. l2.--John Barrett,
formerly United States minister to
Siam, has returned here after visiting
Peking and the principal cities and
ports. He says the situation in China
10 one Of most critical nature, and
Manchuria is no longer Chinese, but
Russian territory. He asserts that
New Chwang, the chief northern port
for the movement OF American products,
is also practically Russian, and is liable
to be closed any day.
The only permanent safeguard to par
amount American and British
Barrett says, is immediate and united
action by the interested governments to
defend their territory in the Chinese
empire. to force reforms In the govern
ment, to prevent further cessions Of
ports and provinces. and to insist upon
an 'topen-door" policy in all the ports
OF China, including the spheres Of infiu-
ence of Russia, Germany and France.
Otherwise, Barrett contends. the inn
pending partition of the Chinese empire
will seriously curtail the field of trade
by disastrously affecting American and
British influence in Asia.

Spain Accepts the Consequences Ill

Madrid, Dec. 13.-The government
entirely approves the memorandum of
protest against the action of the United
States commissioners. filed by Senior
Montero Rios, at Paris.
The memorandum protests against
the refusal OF the Americans to surren-
der the securities deposited in the treas
uries OF Cuba and Porto Rico by private
Spaniards, remarking that never has
civilized nation committed such an
act Of violence"
Secondly, II protests against the ulti-
matum demanding the Philippines.
Thirdly, it protests against the posi-
tion in which those Spaniards are
placed who desire to remain in Cuba.
Fourthly, il protests against the ref
ereRce to the destruction OF the Maine'
in President McKinley's message to
congress. On this point the memoran-
dun says:
"Spain has proposed arbitration, but
the United States has refused to give
her the right winch is granted to
criminal; namely, the right OF defend
ing herself. The Spanish commission.
ers leave the care OF fixing the response
bility for the explosion to the entire
world. which will say whether those
are responsible who desire the truth, or
those refusing to seek it. /"
The newspapers generally express re-
lief at the signing Of the treaty. The
independent organs, most Of the provin-
oial papers and the Carlist and repub-
lican journals attack both political par
ties, conservative and liberal, reproa III
ing them equally with having brought
the country to the present pass.
III impartial alone publishes the
contents OF the treaty, which produces
a less unfavorable impression than had
been expected, owing to the commercial
and other concessions to Spain.
FL Liberal says: 'The Paris negotia.
tions offer far sadder spectacle than
the ships which are bringing back our
repatriated soldiers, deplorable as the
condition of the latter is"
Several memb bers of the United States
commission were inclined at first to
publish the text of the treaty, but Sem
ator Frye made strong plea yesterday
for the observance of courtesy toward
the United States senate, and his ar
guments prevailed.
Further details. however, have been
learned as to the wording of the treaty,
which provides that Cuba is to be re-
linquished and that Porto Rico and the
Philippines are to be ceded. The
Americans are to pay for the repatria-
tion Of the Spanish troops from all the
colonies. The Spaniards are to return
all prisoners held by them. They are
to retain possession OF all military
stores and munitions of war in the
Philippines. and of such ships as have
not been captured. The commercial
treaties between the two nations, which
the war ruptured, are to be renewed at
the convenience OF the two nations.
