NEARLY A MILLION A DAY
EXPENDITURES WILL NOT END
 WITH PEACE.
For Some Time to Come the Ameri- can Army and Navy Must Be Maintained on Their
 Present Footing
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. n.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Peace Is now assured and Uncle Sam, who, in equipping fleets and armies, and send ing them against the foe, has plunged his hands deep into his strong box. spending money without stint, can sit down and figure out what it has all cost. It may be many months before the money cost of the war will be fig ured up even approximately. Should the army and navy be reduced to ! peace footing tomorrow, there would still be many millions paid out for odds and ends of all kinds and on contracts which have been entered into.
 But the army and navy cannot yet be reduced Both must be kept on a war footing until the final treaty of peace has been ratified and until means are provided for maintaining order in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. All this means that expenditures are still to go on for many months at almost the same rate as if actual hostilitteS were in progress.
 Only a rough estimate can be made of the amount of money that the war has cost up to the present time. Actual payments made up to date on account of the war as nearly as they can be estimated by treasury officials, foot up about $95, 900 900. Of the total expendi- lures thus far about $61, 000, 900 has been paid out on account of the army, and about $34, GOO, 900 on account of the navy. As the war has existed since April 21, or 113 days, the average daily expendt- lures have been about $S40, TOO
 During the month of July the average war expenditures were about $1,000,OO0 a day, and this average is being kept up during August.
 When the total cost of the war comes to be figured up and divided by the number of days hostilities were actual Iy in progress it is probable the result will show the daily cost has been fully S1 300 OOO

FORECLOSURE OF
 CENTRAL PACIFIC

NEW YORK, Aug. n.-A special to the Sun from Washington says: T am preparing a bill" the Attorney General said to-day, ito foreclose the debt of the Central Pacific, and it is completed save for the insertion of a few facts about which nobody seems to be cer- tain. There are many things I have discovered which seem to be necessary in a complaint for the foreclosure of a $64,000,000 debt that I find it difficult to get hold of Nobody seems to have any information on the subject.
 Unless there shall be soon an indi- cation of some substantial movement to meet the expectation of Congress in the way of a proposition to extend the debt the bill will be filed somewhere along the line of the property involved ; just where Las not yet been settled"
 The Attorney General, replying to further questions said that letter had been received from the secretary of the railroad company asking when a meet ing would be held of the board author ized to carry out the proposed exten- sion of the debt consisting of the At torney General, Secretary of the Treas ury and Secretary of the Interior. This, however, has created but little impress sion.
 We have no proposition to make, D said MT. Griggs, "and can make none. But whenever anybody empowered to make one wants to see us for the pur- pose of submitting it we will arrange a meeting all right"

New Possessions Under
 Consideration.
PORTO RICO AN EASY TASK
BUT CUBA REQUIRES SERIOUS
 THOUGHT.
President and Cabinet Carefully Dis cuss the Situation-Many Com plex Questions to Be
 Handled.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Plans for the temporary government of Cuba and the territory which will be acquired from Spain as a result of the war are now under serious consideration by the President and members of the Cabinet Porto Rico, as an actual acquisition to the territory of the United States, will be placed in charge of a military gov ernor who will exercise a supervisory control of all the functions of govern ment, under the direction of the Pres ident, until Congress shall determine upon permanent form of government for the island. The President under the constitution has no authority to go beyond this preliminary or temporary stage of the establishment of any sys tenn of governmental control, and, al though it is altogether probable that in his message to Congress on the sub ject he will exercise his constitutional privilege of making recommendations, upon Congress alone will devolve the responsibility and duty of determining the character of the political relations which Porto Rico shall permanently bear to the United States.
 There are reasons why the President himself faVors a colonial form of gov ernments and this view is shared by members of the Cabinet. Canada is noted as being a model colonial Gov ernment, satisfactorily alike to the majority of it's people and to the mother country. This system, how ever, it is believed, can be put into ope- ration only after the lapse of con- siderable period, and after the people have demonstrated satisfactorily their ability to govern themselves intelli- gently in all local matters.
 Upon the evacuation of Cuba it is believed to be the intention of the Pres ident to establish for the whole island a temporary military government, sim liar to that now in operation at San tiago. When order has been fully re- stored and the people have settled down to their peaceful occupations, 1t is believed to be the view of the Pres ident that a convention of the repre- sentatives of the people should be called to vote on the question of form of government for the island. The pres ence of the army of the United States would be d guarantee that every c1tl- zen who would subscribe to an oath, bi. ing himself to support whatever form of government that would be de- cided upon, should have the unques- tionabIe right to vote for whoever he pleases to represent him at this con- Vention. The action. of this body would, however have to be submitted to the United States for approval or disapproval.
 It is pointed out that this convention of representatives of the whole people in the free exercise of their choice might express wish to become a CO., Ionial dependency of the United States, or might favor republican form of government or possibly majority might ask to be annexed to the United States In any of these contingencies it is believed that their wish would meet the approval of the President and his advisers.

HE WOULD GET THE PLACE
HIS REWARD HAS NOT YET BEEN
 SUFFICIENT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald teIegraphs: There is a strong feeling in Washington that Rear Admiral Dewey should receive a greater reward than has been accorded him, and there is a strong probability that the Presi- dent in his message to Congress VIII urge the revival of the grade of vice admiral, and that Rear Admiral Dewey be appointed to the office when 1t au- thoriZed by law.
 For his victory in Manila Bay Dewey has advanced only two numbers while Rear Admiral Sampson has been ao- vanced eight numbers, and Rear Ad- miral Schley six for the fight off san tiago If the grade of Vice-adTnlraI hdu existed eight numbers would have ao- vanced Rear Admiral Dewey to that rank.
 Naval officers generally hope that not only will the grade of vice admiral De revived, but that Congress will create the grade of admiral. If this is done, Rear Admiral Dewey would naturally of the part he played in the battle or Manila Bay, but because of his treat ment of the vexing questions which have arisen since his victory.
 What officer will be designated to fill the grade of vice-admiral if the higher rank were revived, cannot be authori- tatively stated, but the administration would undoubtedly select Rear Admiral Sampson while the friends of Rear Ad- miral Schley would urge his appoint ment Tn any event, as soon as Con- gress convenes there will be bitter controversy in the Senate and House between the friends of the two officers as to which Is entitled to the credit for the victory off Santiago.

SALISBURY ASSAILED
 BY LONDON PAPERS

LONDON, Aug. 11.-All the morning papers, including the supporters of the Government, attack Lord Salisbury for weakness in dealing with the Chi nese question.
 . The Daily Chronicle says: What is to be the result nobody can say. There is room for the gloomiest forebodings Does the country realize that for want of a little foresight and frmness Great Britain may ere long be plunged into . a colossal war? Such, without the least doubt or exaggeration, is the ap- palling possibility"
 The Daily Mail says: "The door is closed The proudly boasted British lion does not exist in the Yangtse Valley It is a mistake; and looking to what Lord Salisbury has done in Egypt, his failure in China is inex- plicable."
 The Standard says: '.These repeated humiliatons are becoming intoIel d. ble"

TRADES PLANNED
 BY CAGES MEN

LOS ANGELES, Aug. n.-There was q noticeable scarcity of petty politi- clans in and about the Hollenbeck, the headquarters of Henry T. Gage, to-day. Many of them had returned to their respective districts fully instructed re- garding the selection of delegates to be voted for at the primaries to be held throughout the county next Monday, and there is no doubt about the carry ing out of the programme as prepared by the managers of the local candidate for Governor. The interest of every other candidate for office is being made 8 secondary consideration, and the plan of the Gage forces is to make any com bination possible to insure his nomina- ton at Sacramento.
 Trades are freely spoken of by men who are close to the aspirant for gu- bernatOrial honors, and some are bold enough to assert that if Lou Brown will keep out of the fight for Governor he can have the vote of the Gage forces for a renomjnation for Secretary of State.
 Realizing the weakness of the ticket headed by a man from the south, they are looking toward San Francisco for help Tirey L. Ford has been sug- gested as the most available candidate to strengthen the ticket, and the Gage delegates will be for Ford if he can be induced to throw his strength in the convention in the right direction.
 The Young Business Mems Republi- can Club of this city opened the cam paign tonight by giving a reception to the various Republican candidates, and Music Hall was crowded to overfiowing by enthusiastic Republicans. Frank Davis presided and addresses were de- livered by Truman Reeves of San Bernardino, Judge Work and State Superintendent of Public Instruction $.

TAMMANY'S DEFIANCE
 OF THE ELECTIONS BILL

 The resolutions state that Tammany Hall believes the elections bill an uncon- stitutional enactment "of the most repre- hensible character, denying to the citizens of the metropolis the right of self-gov- ernment as enjoyed by every Republican community in the State, and a manifest insult to the honesty, intelligence and pa triotism of the citizens of Greater New York who justly pride themselves on the purity and fairness of their elections"
