STOPPING THE WAR.

, of the receipt by him of the proclamation
Fof the president. Up to midnight, no reply
has been received from General Miles, it

In response to the notification sent to

Vallejo, Cal, Aug. 12.-Rear Admiral
kirkland. Z. S. N, died at o'clock
this evening. He expired peacefully,
his wife and son being in the death
chamber at the time. DR.. Hibbett
of the United States steamer Independ-
ence, and Dr. Wagner, navy yard sur
geon, were also present. Father Regi-
nald of st. Vincent's church was with
the admiral three hours before he
breathed his last.
The admiral had rallied from the
effects of an operation for acute con-
striction of the bowels. which was per-
formed on Tuesday by DR.. w. E.
Taylor of San Franciso, assisted by
several other surgeons, and last night
it was stated that he had a fighting
chance for life This morning he

it goes, this protocol is absolutely a
peace treaty.
Thus, having provided for the dispo-
Sition of Cuba, Porto Rico and one OF
the Ladrone islands, there is nothing
more for any peace commission to do
in relation to these subjects; their fate
is sealed, and the protocol in that re-
spect is as binding as any definite
treaty of peace.
1t was such a protocol as this that
was signed by President Theirs and
Prince Bismarck to terminate the
Franco-Prussian war, and the condt-
lions therein laid down were not even
subject to revision at the hands of the
peace commission that followed.
Many details remain to be agreed
upon which are not even referred to in
the protocol. Such of these as relate
to purely naval subjects will be re-
ferred to a military commission. This
commission may encounter some diff
Guilty in making a disposition of the
Spanish soldiers in Cuba, and Porto
Rico and the military and naval pris-
oners now in the United States. The
Spanish government is showing a re-
markable unwillingness to provide for
the return of these soldiers and sailors
to Spain. This has gone so far as to
lay the Spanish government open to
the charge of indifference to the fate
of the men who struggled for her cause.
European advices received here from
private sources throw light upon this,
saying that the Spanish government
apprehends that the returning warriors
will join the Carlists and break out in
open rebellion against the political dy-
nasty. 1t is probable the military COM
mission will be clothed with adequate
power to deal with this question in the
interest of the United States.
Senator Platt of New York called on
President Mckinley today and asked
for the appointment of General Ben
jamin F. Tracy of New York, ex-secre-
tary of the navy, as q member of the
peace commission.

CoRBETT-M'CoY FIGHT.
Manager Pays No Attention to the
Sheriff's Threat.

Buffalo. N. Y, Aug. 12.-Charles NJ.
Wilson, manager and secretary of the
Hawthorne Athletic club, said today
that he would continue TO make prepar-
ations for the Corbett- Mccoy contest,
regardless of the letter read at the
ministers meeting yesterday. in which
the sheriff declared his intention to
stop. the fight.
Mr. Wilson said that he anticipated
just such a fuss, and had secured the
best legal advice in New York and this
city, and in not one instance has the
club violated law, and it does not
intend to violate any.
He says that the question has been
aired in court and that no lawyer
would be foolish enough to fight the
case over again. The only harm that
can come to the club is that a few out
Of flown people may be scared away.
No effort will be made to evade the
law 1t is not necessary, MIR. Wilson
says.

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 12.-Postmaster
A. w. Willis received a letter from Gen
eral Joe Wheeler today, dated Santiago de
Cuba, July u. 1898, in which General
Wheeler says, referring to newspaper re-

were very unjust He has had hard task
and has performed it successfully and
well. He is q man of more than ordinary
brain power and administrative ability.
The criticism that he did not place him

July ] he was carrying on two fights at
the same time--one at Caney and one at
San Juan. He had. some reserves and had

fights and manage the whole affair, which

The French press comments gleefulIy

SUTR0 WILL CONTEST.
& Document of Later Date Said to
Be In Existence.

San Francisco, Aug. 12.-The Even
ing Post says that the will of Adolph
SUtrO viii be contested by Mrs. Kluge
the alleged widow who says she mar
ried the deceased millionaire by con-
tract, and also by the recognized legal
heirs, who will fight the trust clause
in the will. Mrs Kluge claims that
there is a will Of recent date in exist
cree. in which she is literally pro-
vided for. as are also her two children,
of whom. she claims. Mr.. Sutro is the
father.
The article is embellished with a
number of interviews with persons
closely connected with Adolph Sutro in
his last years, which seem to make
clear that the millionaire disposed of
his possessions in a will of later date
than the one that is about to be pro-
bated
