 Attack by Americans.
 Hong Kong, Aug. 16.-A belated dis patch from Manila dated August S. ex- plains that Governor General Augustin has not quite abdicated'' and says: 'The governor general only declined to be responsible for the consequences when he found that Spain was not sending him help, he retained his posi- ton, but practically washed his hands of the fighting. A Madrid dispatch con- strues this as insubordination and the Gazette will now publish an order to supercede him. It is rumored that con- fidential instructions have been given to his successor to resist to the utmost, hoping to gain the worlds admiration and, possibly, assistance in securing a Favorable termination.
 "A telegram arrived Sunday ordering the Americans to proceed immediately to extremities, Whereupon General Merritt and Admiral Dewey issued an ultimatum allowing forty-eight hours for the removal of non-combatants, but declaring that they would begin the bombardment earlier if the Span iards made any attack. The governor replied immediately thanking the American commanders for their hu- mane sentiments, but saying that they were useless because he was sur rounded with rebels and had no place of refuge for the great number of sick and wounded and women and children. The governor thereupon convened the consuls, begging them to use their in- ftuence with the Americans to get them to grant him time and facilities for the removal of the refugees and suggesting the use of American troop ships. but he was unwilling to allow them food from Manila. He seemed indifferent to the fate of the 100000 natives.
 "The British consul made a powerful appeal to the governor to surrender elorifying the heroism hitherto shown by the Spanish, but demonstrating the bopelessness of further resistance. The other consuis endorsed his appeal with the exception of the German consul who said that as a military officer he should hesitate to assert that the Span

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION
IMPORTANT POINT TREGARDING EX- TENT OF AMERICAN I UTHORITY.
According to Advices Admiral Dewey and General Merritt Received tho Ca- pitulatiOn of the Entire Archipelago The Peace Protocol Provides Only for American Occupation of the Bay, Har- bOr and City of Manila.
bor and City of Manila.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 1S.-An im- portant point on which the administra- tion officials are without definite infor- nation is the extent of our present authority in the Philippines. Under the peace protocol the United States was given the occupation of Manila with the bar and harbor, until a permanent disposition of the Philippine question was reached. But according to press dispatches which are so circumstantial as to be credited in most official quar- Dewey received the equalization of the entire Philippine archipelago. There appears to be some doubt, therefore, even among officials, as to whether our present authority and jurisdiction cover Manila only, as provided by the peace protocol, or cover all the Philippines. as provided by the reported terms of equalization to Merritt and Dewey
 There is disposition to await fuller information before laying down a pol icy as to the extent of our Jurisdiction in the islands. Secretary Alger said to-day that he had hard nothing of the surrender of the entire Philippine group. At the same time the secretary did not deprecate the accuracy of the press advices, stating that the capitula- tion had far-reaching effect. Pending more definite information the attitude of officials is to assume that our authority covers Manila city, Man fla bay and harbor. and also such other territory as may be occupied by the military and naval forces. The latter phrase is elastic enough to cover any or all of the Philippine Islands that may have been brought under our authority by the recent surrender.
 The instructions sent to General Mer- ritt have in view the expansion of our possessions beyond the terms stated in the protocol, as they distinctly state that this government is in possession of Manila and that it's authority to preserve peace and order will be ex- ercised within the territory occupied by their military and naval forces" The cabinet meeting tomorrow is expected to deal with the many detailed ques- tions concerning the Philippines, Cuba, and Porto Rico, which have arisen since the peace protocol was signed.

CLUSTERING OUT OF roLUNrEERs.
1t May Have to be by an Arbitrary Order.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 1S.-The war department has been trying to as- certain the wishes of the troops as to being mustered out, it being the ob- ject to accommodate the troops so far as possible. Up to the present time it looks that all the volunteers wanted to remain and that the mastering may have to be by an arbitrary order. In- formation received is that the desire to rers ain in the service is not confined to the officers but the rank and file wish to remain. The department will wait until all information possible is obtained, when if no troops desire to return to their homes, selections in the best judgment of the officers will be made. The troops when mustered out will be transported to their homes.
