A LETTER FROM SCHLEY.
Gays the Santiago Victory Was the Joint
Product of Everyone Fortunate Enough
to Be Engaged in 1t.

indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 9 -Shortly
after the great naval victory off San
tiago, in which Cervera's fleet was
pursued and destroyed by the Amer
lean vessels of war under Commodore
Schley, Capt. John Schley, cousin of
the commodore, wrote letter of con-
graduation for the victory won. He
ceceived a reply which in part was as
follows:
The victory of July g. complete in results
and so rich in glory for country was the
joint product of every one fortunate enough to
be engaged and ought rather to thank you in
their name than to appropriate the congratu-
tations to myself Surely it was large enough
to win laurels for all and assume no other
pride in it than that the lucky place of this
ship in the line was where the first heavy
sault was made and afterward by the speed and
her direction to keep in the scrap" to the
finish, which occurred 81 hours from begin
ming. The sweetest thought and the
greatest satisfaction come from the fact that
our conduct that day has won the peoples love
and earned the nations admiration. 1t is this
which encourages us in the public defense, no
matter at what risk to ourselves If it secures
peace to our beloved land and permits to
return soon to our loved ones and to our peo-
pie, our efforts were well directed-W. S
Schey.

EXTRA SESSION RUM0R.
Washington Paper Says Congress WIN Ds
Convened n Soon rs Peace Terms
Are Accepted.
Washington, Aug. a.-The Post to-

NdSuluSIO aug. 80 ~
day says:
President Mckinley will call an extra seS-
sion of both houses Of congress as soon as
Spain accepts the terms of peace offered by the
United States 1t has always been understood
that the senate would be convened as soon as
the treaty of peace was ready to be acted upon
by that body. The attention Of the president
has been called. however. to a situation which
makes the assembling Of the entire congress
necessary. This situation can be explained In
few words. Under the law which provides for
the raising Of the volunteer army that army
goes out of existence as soon as the war ceases
When this law was framed, it was not for q
moment supposed that after the war had
ended there would be any necessity OF keeping
the army intact The developments OF the war
make it very evident that. instead OF sending
the army back to civil life fully 100 900 men will
continue to be needed 1t is the present inten-
ton to distribute no less than $4,000 soldiers
throughout Cuba. with g.. 0J0 in the Philippines
and probably 10000 in Porto Rico
Under the law as soon as hostilities cease,
the volunteer army is disbanded and the regu-
lar army goes back to its peace footing. thus
leaving only ~, ON men in the service. This is
n total far too small for the work that will be
required. Consequently the aid of congress
will be needed to frame new laws which VIII
keep an adequate army for garrison purposes
In addition to this. laws must be passed to
meet the new requirements. Of governing the
Philippines and probably 20, COO in Porto Rico.
The president is naturally averse to calling
congress together during the hot weather, and
it may be decided that the war is not ended I'M
til the senate has ratified the treaty Of peace.
In this congress will not meet until the
middle of September as 1t will take at least
month or six weeks for the full details of the
treaty to be discussed and framed. The pres
cnt outlook is however for extra session
at a much earlier period. in the hope that its
work can be concluded before the fall campaign
has reached its height

THE Government Of CUBA
Administration Formulating Plans
for an American Military Re-
gime in the Island.
6ARRIS0NS FOR THE PRINCIPAL CITIES,
Gen. Lee Will Be Placed in Command of
the Garrisoning Army and Made Mill
tary Governor Of Cuba-The Work of
Embarking the Spanish Troops at San
tiago Begun-Prisoners Released.


Washington, Aug. s.-The admins
tration is formulating general plans
for temporary American military
regime in Cuba, following the conclu-
sion of peace between the United
States and Spain. The government is
aware of the critical period in the his
tory of the island which is certain to
| attend the withdrawal of the
Spanish sovereignty from the ter
ritory and the installation of
the Cuban republican administra-
ton. The presence of an American
garrison in all the principal cities and
towns of the island is confidently ex-
pected, and these garrisons will proba-
bly, need to be maintained for several
months. The war department is,
therefore, contemplating the detail of
an army of $4,000 men for the
Cuban occupation after peace shall
have been declared. This occupation,
from the present outlook, will begin
in the early fall. The force of so. 900
will be selected from the volunteer
army exclusively, and pains will be
taken to give those regiments which
have not yet gone to the front
chance to see service in Cuba. The
military government will temporarily
prevail throughout the island in all
proba bility, and Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee will be placed in command of the
garrisoning army and made military
governor of the territory.
