is DEAD.
Mulai-Ab- EI-Aziz, the Ruler of
Morocco, is No More.

Gibraltar, Aug. 13.-It is reported that
the sultan of Morocco is dead.
The sultan Mulai-Ab-E -EI-Aziz, known
to his subjects under the title Of ''Enir-
Al-Mumenin'' or Prince of True Be
levers, was born in 1861, and succeeded
his father, Mulai-Hassan, on June z,
1884. He was the fifteenth of the dynas-
ty of the Alder, founded by Mulai-Ach-
met, and the thirty-sixth linea1 descend
ant of Ali, uncle and son-in-law of the
Prophet.
Each sultan of Morocco is supposed
to indicate the member of the Sherifan
family who, according to his conscien-
tious belief, will replace him This sue
cession is, however, elective, and all
members of the Sherifian family are
eligible. Generally the deceased sui
tan's nominee is elected by public ac-
clamation at monday prayers the Fri
day after the sultans death, as the
nominee probably has possession of i'm
perial treasure, and is supported by the
black body guard from among whom
the large majority of court officials are

Chicago, Aug. 13.-PIans are being
perfected to build a magnificent union
passenger station on the land between
State street and Pacific avenue and
south from Polk street. The roads in
terested in the project are those now
entering the Dearborn station, just
west of the proposed new depot The
roads are:
The Grand Trunk, Chicago & Erie.
Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Chicago, In
dianapolis 6 Louisville CMonon), the
Wabash and Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe.
In addition the Cleveland and Cincin-
natl, Chicago & st. Louis Q3ig Four),
which is negotiating for the "Monon''
will. it is said, use the new terminal.
Efforts will also be made to induce the
nickel Plate and other roads to come
into the new deal. The cost of the new
structure will be in the millions. The
plans call for a depot large enough to
accommodate about ten lines. The
Santa Fe at present owns q consfdera-
bic part of the property on which the
new depot is to be located.

were directed into pacific channels. The
sudden change from war to peace was
manifest at the war and navy depart
ments. There was no further expect
ancy of dramatic developments of bat
ties or of new campaigns. The orders
given last night for the immediate ces-
sation of hostilities brought all military
and naval movements to halt, and 1t
now remains only to bring affairs back
to a, peace basis. In this, however, the
authorities were acting on the theory
that the protocol of yesterday was but
the first step towards peace and that
not until a final and lasting peace was
secured could there be an entire return
to a peace basis.
This was particularly true as to the
navy department. In that branch it
was accepted that permanent peace un-
doubtedly would be made, and yet in
stead of stripping our warships, re-
distributing them into SQuadrOns on a
peace basis, and returning them to their
old channels, the naval authorities act
ed on the principle that the present
armistice might end in a resumption OF
hostilities. For that reason the four
battleShipS and two armOred cruisers
ordered north from West Indian waters
are to undergo a complete overhauling,
with a view of putting them in the pink
of condition. For many months they
have been in tropical waters; their bot
toms are foul and their engines and
machinery need careful overhauling. As
soon as they reach New York all work
at the navy yard will be subOrdinated
to pushing the complete overhauling of
the big battleships and cruisers. Mean
while the smaller Warships In West In
dian waters have been ordered to safe
harbors as the West Indian hurricane
season is near at hand while sufficient
ships for pohse patrol are left along
the Cuban and Porto Rican coast. The
big unwieldy monitors will remain at
Porto Rico, and most of the blockading
fleet will center at Key West under
Commodore Watson.
The peace protocol will give breathing
spell and time for bringing every ship
back to the highest state of perfection
The complete return to a peace basis

SOME ARE SORRY
But the Majority at Camp Thomas
3 are Glad That Peace Has Come.

Chickamauga Park, Tenn, Aug. 13.-
The men at Camp Thomas are now
playing a waiting game, none of the Of
fcials seeming to know exactly what is
in store for them or their men. The
regiments ordered to new camps have
received no orders indicating when they
will get away and the men of other
regiments have almost ceased specu-
lating on the disposition to be made of
them. Meanwhile the regular work
goes on and all commands are being as
steadily drilled as when the war began.
The news that peace had been de-
clared was received at Camp Thomas
in various ways. Some of the most en-
thusiastic arranged small demonstra-
tions and celebrated the event. Others
plainly manifested their regret that
they would see no active service after
their long and tiresome training here.
The majority seem to be harboring
hopes that they will be mustered out
and sent to their homes in the near fu-
ture.
The health of the camp has material
ly improved during the last few days.
The main cause of the Improvement
is believed to be the removal and re-
arrangements of regimentaI camps.

DEFENDS SHAFTER.
General Joe Wheeler Says He Did
His Duty Faithfully and Well

Nashville, Tenn, Aug. 13.-Postmast-
er A. Willis has received a letter from
Cen Joe Wheeler dated Santiago de
Cuba, July 27, 1888, in which Gen. Whee-
Ter says, referring to newspaper reports
concerning Gen. Shafter:
'I think the criticisms upon Gen.
Shafter were very unjust He has had
a hard task and has performed it sue
cessfully and well. He is a man of
more than ordinary brain power and
administrative ability. The criticism
that he did not place himself on the fir
ing line is ridiculous as he was carrying
on two fights at the same tiTne-one at
Caney and one at San Juan. He had
some reserves and had to place himself
where he could see both fights and
manage the whole affair, which he did
efficiently. With very high regards,
Truly your friend

relieving the sick, taking care of the
wounded, and placing the soldiers IN
healthy and more pleasant camps and
quarters.
Arrangements have been made to
send larger reinfOrcementS to General
Merritt. With the troops already at
Manila and those which will arrive
within very few days General Merritt
will have 10000 men. The 1000 troops
at San Francisco are to be sent as rap
idly as transports can be obtained.
These transports are now on their way
from Nagasaki to San Francisco.
Canceling Charters.
The war department is canceling the
charters of the various vessels used for
the transportation of troops. The gov
ernment purchased 13 vessels and char
tered about fifty. Already the charters
of the Lampassas and Louisiana have
been Cancelled and orders have been
issued canceIing those of the Concho

Santiago. Ships will be retained as
long as necessary to transport troops
but as the necessity for rapid movement
has passed fewer transports will accom-
modate the troops that are to be moved
at sea-
Peace Commissioners.
Secretary Day, Senator Allison and
ex-senator German in all probability,
will be three of the peace commission
and either Joseph Choate or Elihu Root
of New York will be another. Senator
Davis of Minnesota will be offered a
place on the commission but it is ex-
pected that he will decline and that a
fifth man, not a United States senator
will be selected.

not be deferred by the lack of cable ia

that the cable company would not rec

little else can be done for Porto Rico,

AS to Cuba, it is quite likely that so
far as the United States authority is
extended or exerted it will be through
