The United States should hold onto
the Philippines until the demand for real
estate is reasonably strong, and not bit
longer. The policy of conquest is out
of harmony with our republican institu-
tions, and the idea of furnishing
good government to every colony that
happens to lie oppressed involves tri-
fle too much expense and annoyance to
warrant its being entertained. Besides,
it wasn't included in the contract for the
emancipation of Cuba.

able coincidence that May 1st, the day on

Spanish forts, and destroyed over 100

LETTER TO SICARD.
The Work of the Naval War Board Com
 mended by Long.

Washington, August 2.-The navy de- partuent today gave out the following let ter addressed by Secretary Long to the president of the war board in recognition of its services:
 Hingham, Mass, August 21, 1898. My Dear Admiral:
 In view of the practical ending of the war with Spain and the well earned relief from further duty to which the naval war board is now entitled. cannot. though absent from the department, forbear to express to you and through you to your associates on the board-Commodor Crowninshield and Captain Mahan (re- tired)-the very high ap . citation which rendered since the war began. That its members have been faithful and diligcnt in the highest measure goes without say ing. for they are animated by the high professional spirit which distinguishes the navy, and which they have themselves done much to stimulate and maintain. But from my personal knowledge and ob- servation. desire to add to this that equally marked have been the intelligence, the wise judgment, the comparative fore thought and the unfailing competency to meet every exigency which have distin- guishSd their deliberations and action. May 1t not be said that not one error has been made? Proper control by the depart ment has been exercised over all move ments in the field, and yet at the same time commanding officers have been duly left to exercise discretion and have never been hampered in their work. I do not know how your work as members of that important board could have been better done or where in the arena of the war,

THE REGIMENTS
 ARE IMPATIENT To Leave Chickamauga for Their New Camping Ground. THE SOLDIERS ARE LEAVING Gen. Breckinridge Receives Orders to Prepare to Muster Out Some ofthe
 Regiments Now in Camp
 at Chickamauga.
THE SOLDIERS ARE LEAVING

Chickamauga National Park, Ga., August 24-The regiments are impatient to get started for their new camps, and are therefore vexed because of the delay in se- curing trains sufficient to make as speedy departure as was planned by General Breckinridge. The regiments are further delayed by the work of loading. They came here without equipments and are now learning what it is to load the baggage and equippage that goes with an army.
 The Second brigade of the Third division, First corps, left for Lexington today. The Eighth Massachusetts, which broke camp yesterday morning, left early this morning while the Twelfth New York and Twenty first Kansas, of the same brigade, broke camp this morning and were busy loading today. Both regiments left today.
 Te First Illinois cavalry this afternoon marched to Ringgold and will start tomor- row morning for Chicago to go into camp at Fort Sheridan. This regiment Will take its horses along. The regiments expecting to leave tomorrow are the Sixth ono, one Hundred and Fifty-eighth Indiana ana First West Virginia, constituting the 1hiro brigade and ordered to Knoxville
 General Breckinridge received orders this afternoon to prepare for the muster ing out of the light artillery and the Secono Nebraska infantry now in camp here. While preparations will be made as speeui. ly as possible for the mastering out or these organizations, it is General BrecKen- ridges understanding that they will De sent to their respective states before oln- cial action is taken. The Second NebrasKa will be mustered out at Omaha.
 Colonel Grigsby, commanding the Third United States Volunteer cavalry, who has just returned from Washington said this afternoon that he had heard the president say that it would be the policy to muster out all soldiers who did not wish to serve longer, now that tue war is over, the idea being to retain those still desrous of service.
 The maximum temperature at the park today was 922. There were no prostra- tions. The death rate was extremely low, only three deaths being reported from the several hospitals.
 Hospital trains are bMng run to various states for the accommodation of the sick and convalescent soldiers who desire to go to their homes.

SENATOR DAVIS
 REFUSED TO TALK
Would Say Nothing of His Con- ference With the President.
FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES
Declined to Express an Opinion Regard ing the Disposition of the Islands Commissioners Will Formu-
 late Terms of Peace.

Washington, Aug. A.-Senator Cushman K. Davis chairman of the senate commit tee on foreign relations, and selected as a member of the commission to negotiate terms of peace with Spain, arrived in Washington today. He went to the white house very soon after his arrival and re- mained with the president an hour. The conference was of a preliminary character and was devotsd largely to a great ques- tion which the administration will have to settle of control of the Philippines. After wards Senator Davis went to the state de- partment and Secretary Day who is also to be member of the peace commission. Senator Davis will remain in Washington two or three days, and the terms of peace for the American side will be formulated as far as possible in the conferences which will occur between the president, the sec retary of state and the chairman of the foreign relations committee. These pre- liminares will be of great importance, as all the diplomatic questions. the examina- tion of old treaties, the many points to be involved in the new treaty will, of neces- sity, have to be thoroughly considered by the commissioners.
 Senator Davis refused absolutely to dis cuss with newspaper men any Of the questions growing out of the war or the subjects which might likely come before the commission. He would neither express his own views nor discuss the sentiment of the people of his own state or other sections respecting the Philippines, the government of Porto Rico, or the man. agement of affairs in Cuba. Senator Davis briefly referred to the success of the war and the achievements of the American sol diers and sailors in the different battles which occurred. He was especially grati- fled at the gallant conduct of the Thir- teenth Minnesota in the battle of Manila and while here made arrangements with the war department for bringing home the remains of Captain Bjornstad of that regi- sment, who died of wounds since the battle was fought. Many members of the regi- ment are personal friends of the senator, some of them living in his vicinity at St. Paul.

LINE OF TRANSPORTS
May Be Established Between New York,
 Havana, Ponce and Santiago.

Washington, August 4.-Assistant Sec retary Meklejohn of the war department, is contemplating the establishment of line of transports from New York to Havana, Santiago, Ponce and return. It is expected that the line will be ready for operation next week. Havana will not be on the route at present, but as soon as that port is open the war department line of trans ports will touch there. Operations would be begun at once, but the transports are now being used for carrying troops. The line will be utilized for transporting sup plies of the quartermasters, commssaries and surgeon generals department as well as such other freghts as may be needed at the points occupied by the United States forces. Mails will be carried also on these transports to and from the new American possessions. New York, instead of Tampa, has been selected because of the sever quarantine at Tampa against yellow fever. Heretofore means of freight and mail transportation to Cuba and Porto Rico have been irregular and unsatisfactory. The new transports will run on schedule time and have scheduled dates for departure and line.
