Washington, Aug. 1.-THE war de-
partment has received the following:
"Ponce, Puerto Rico, Aug. Is, 1898, 1O:32

VIII Review Heroes.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-President Nc
Kinley has decided that he will review
the heroes of Santiago in New York
city if his official duties will permit.
He so informed Maj. Gen. Wheeler,
with whom he had a long conference
Wednesday. and who is to assume COM
mand at Montauk Point pending the
arrival of Gen. Shafter. Necessarily
the date for the proposed review will
be some time distant, as the presi-
dents plans are that the soldiers at
Montauk should have ample time to
fully recover from the effects of the
severe campaign in Cuba.

DOUBT IS REMOVED.
City of Manila Had Fallen Before
Notice of signing of PrOtO-
col Arrived.

Washington, Aug. 22.-After receipt
Of a cablegram from Gen. Merritt by
the war department Saturday after
Gen. Corbin to make public the an
nouncement that the official dis
patches from Washington addressed
to Rear Admiral Dewey and Gen. Mer-
rift containing the news of the sign
ing of the protocol and the proclama-
ton declaring a cessation of hostilities
were received by them on the 10th,
been made with Spain and three days
after the fall of the city of Manila.
There is one thing that the dispatch
makes certain. and that is that the
fall of Manila occurred without the
slightest knowledge on the part of
Dewey and Merritt that a peace proto-
col had been signed by Spain and the
United States, so that the contention
CT Premier Sagasta that the surrender
of the city, coming after the signing
Of the protocol, is null and void, is the
sheerest nonsense.
Gen. Merritt's cablegram gives the
terms of capitulation. 1t shows that
the Spanish, by express terms, surren-
dered the city and defenses of Manila
and its suburbs, together with the
Spanish forces stationed therein. The
Spanish are permitted to retire with
the honors of war.
Unofficial advices from Manila re-
ceived previous to the arrival of the
text Of the terms indicated that the
capitulation of the city included the
surrender of the Philippines and that
Spanish sovereignty over the entire
archipelago was, temporarily, at least,
at an end. This view is not sustained
by the conditions of the surrender as
oabled by Gen. Merritt, and, it may be
said, it is not the view taken by the
best Informed officials of the admin
| istration.
1t can be said authoritatively that
the president is quite satisfied with
the terms as made by Gen. Merritt and
Admiral Dewey. Their instructions
| afforded them considerable latitude
for individuality of action, the presi-
| dent feeling confident that they would
secure the best possible terms in the
circumstances. That they have done
so he is certain.

An Affecting Scene.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-An affecting
scene characterized the meeting
Wednesday in the office of Secretary
Alger of Maj. Gems. Wheeler and Lee.
They are old friends and comrades in
arms, but they had not met since the
war began. Each grasped the other by
both hands, and then Gen. Lee drew
his friend to his heart and they Rugged
and kissed each other regardless of the
fact that many other persons were
present. Secretary Alger was visibly
affected.

No More Troops Needed.

Washington, Aug. 20. - Gen. Shafter
has informed the war department
that after consulting with Gen. Law
ton, commanding the department of
Santiago, it has been concluded that 1t
will not be necessary to send any more
troops to Santiago for the preserva-
ton of peace and good order. This
statement is made with the under
standing that the present military
force will shortly be reinforced by the
arrival of the Fifth regular infantry

London, Aug. 22.-The Manila CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, in a
dispatch dated Sunday, says: Gen.
Merritt has proclaimed government
of military occupation. The news Of
the armistice arrived on the 10th. 1t
is feared that the Americans may re-
store the Philippines to Spain and thus
reinaugurate fresh period of tryan-
ny, extortion and rebellion. The Span
ish guarantees for freedom of the
press and religion and for just adj
ministratior are useless unless under
foreign supervision. The Americans
found $500, 900 in the Spanish treasury.

the sides of the vessels almost to their

impression that even the ships them

the returned naval heroes. The width
of the Hudson river was a struggling.

fusion and cheers. AS the grim-look-

crowds became denser, and the en-.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-Orders were
issued by Adjt. Gen. Corbin Thursday
night for the Second New York, now
at Fernandina, Fla, to proceed with
all its equipment, except wagon trans
portation, to Troy, n. Y, and there GO

at once to Santiago, Cuba, and there
report to Gen. Lawton. The Twenty
third Kansas is a regiment of colored
troops and is said to be an excellent
organization. 1t is the purpose to
make the regiment part of the per-
manent garrison of Santiago. The
movements of the other three regi-
ments is believed to be preparatory to
mastering them out of the service. It
is said at the department. however,
that the orders were issued because of
a desire on the part Of the people of
the states to have the organiza tions

AS the establishment of camps in the

vast sea of humanity, and browning this
Gen. Grants tomb, which was to mark
the beginning of the return of the
squadron, where national salute of
81 guns was fired. The tomb, standing
high, white and solemn, far above the
waters of the river, looked to be built
upon a foundation of faces. For the
first time in the parade the battleships
drew together. Just at the point Of
return there was momentary lull, as
If expectant of the climax.
Salute to Dead Hero.
Suddenly, from the sides and turrets
of the battleships there was vivid
flash; following this a tremendous
roar announcing the first gun of the
national salute. The heavy smoke
curled and tumbled down towards the
water and up into the air until the
ships had been almost hidden, but the
roar, coming again and again, seemed
to rock the waters themselves. 1t was
an imposing spectacle as the big bat
tleships doomed a salute to the ma
ton; as the warships saluted the final
resting place of Gen. Grant, and the
guns that sounded the knell of Admiral
Cervera's ships at Santiago doomed a
reverential obeisance to the dead
hero.
The salute ended, the return of the
squadron along the line of review was
begun. 1t was a repetition of the en-
thusiastic scenes on the way up the
river. Every whistle that could be
brought into it's use played its part;
every bell, every band joined in honor
ing the fleet, and above all were the re-
sounding echoes of the shouts from on
water and on land.
The parade of the ships, from the
time it passed the battery on its way
up the river to the time it repassed on
its way to anchorage off Tompkins-
Vile, S. l., occupied just two hours and
35 minutes.
Welcomed Home.
Detroit. Mich, Aug. 22.-With honors
BETTING them, Detroit citizens on Sun
day welcomed home the Michigan
naval reserves, who served throughout
the war on the auxiliary cruiser Yose-
mite. A special train carried party
of relatives and friends to Toledo in
the morning, where the men were
given their first welcome. On alight-
ing from the train at the depot in De-
troit the reserves were met by one
of the largest crowds ever seen in
Detroit. The revenue cutter Fessen-
den fired a salute of welcome, all the
steamers on the river and the loco
motive whistles Ginning in with shrill
blasts. Amid the cheers of thousands
the reserves and a military escort
which was waiting to do them honor
paraded through the principal streets.
1t was a veritable triumphal process
sion. Windows were filled and roofs
crowded, all waiting to cheer the first
of Michigan's returned heroes. The
men presented fine appearance, be-
ing bronzed and burned until they
looked almost like the Spaniards they
had been fighting. After being re-
viewed by a party of officials and
friends the men were dismissed and
went to the homes they had not seen
in four months. To-day the reserves
will be mus tered out of Uncle Sans
service and become civilians again.
