Chickamauga. Aug. 13.-The paymas-
tiers have finished their work at Camp
Thomas and gone to other camps far
Their south. The work here was fin
ished much earlier than expected the
trained paymasters getting through the

guard is preventing any serious conse-
quences.
1t is now the general opinion at Camp
Thomas that the two divisions ordered
to new camps will remain here at least
ten days longer The new camps select
ed are being inspected by special Off
GERS, and no more will be made until
they report and their reports are thor
oughly considered. From the best in

The protocol is signed and the cruel

forsccn circumstances should interfere
with the peace negotiations. As far as
Spain is concerned no more trouble need
be feared. We have, however. assum-
ed great responsibility in giving a
practical guarantee that our revengeful
allies, the Cuban patriots, do not con-
tinue The struggle to which they have
been so long accustomed. If they do
not cease hos,ilities it will then be nee

Montauk Point N. T.. Aug. l3.-Five
hundred men of the First volunteer cav

here. in command of Major George NJ
Dunn. The new arrivals comprise
Troops c. H, /. L and NJ complete and
attachments from Troops E. and G.
The men are in fine shape except for a
little fatigue incident to their long jour
ney by rail. They were assigned to a
temporary camp with the detachment
of the First regular cavalry. They were
not long in making their camp. There
are now more than 1000 men in camp,
and more than 500 tents have been
erected.
Besides medicines, compressed foods
meat extracts and jellies the hospital
department now has on hand 200 suits
of pyjamas. $50 suits of undertakes,
several cases of slippers and cases of
books and magazines, all of which were
contributed by the Woinan's National

THE AFTERMATH,
Having Arranged For Peace, Spain Is Now
Settling Her Domestic Affairs.


| Madrid, Aug. 13.-The question of the
| acceptance of the protocol having been
finally settled and its signature explicit
ly and definitely authorized, the GOV
eminent is now considering the domes-
tic situation for the best means of al
laying the excitement and propagating
the idea that SPANS surrender is not
so complete as indicated by the bald
terms Of the protocol. AS the first step
in this direction a semiofficial note has
been issued. 1t is as follows:
The government is of the opinion
that the most critical period of the
peace negotiations has now arrived, as
it depends on the arrangement of de-
tails as to whether the peace will be
more or less advantageous. Spain wish 3
to preserve her sovereignty over the
whole of the Philippines, to which she
proposes to accord all political and ad-
illustrative reforms consistent with
the maintenance Of her sove1 eighty.
I'm regard to the evacuation of Cuba
and Porto Rico 1t will be asked that the
army be allowed to depart honorably
and that assurances be given guaran-
teeing that Spanish and foreign inter-
ests will not suffer. The army, which
has not been conquered. will return to
Spain with it's guns, arms and NUM-
tions.
I'm regard to the Cuban debt, as the
United States refuses to assume il
Spain will endeavor to arrange witt
the Cuban treasury to pay it when the
island Is able.

merce will lead to considerable Discus
