QUESTIONS TO SETTLE.
Acting Secretary Allen said to day
that the matter Of establishing coaling
stations, the disposition of Admiral
Cervera and other Spanish prisoners,
and like questions brought up by the
peace settlement, would receive con-
sideration in due time, but that there
was no Immediate necessity for pass
ing upon them.
Preparations are making to receive
the battleshipS and armored cruisers,
now under orders to come north. Dry
Docks No. 1 and No. 2, at the New
York navy yard, are evidently for the
big cruisers New York and Brooklyn,
but not for the battleships. Dry Dock
No. will receive the battleships, but
will not be in condition before Sept. /,
as 1t has just gone through long pc
riod of repair. Capt. Bartlett, in charge
of the auxiliary fleet, is arranging to
get back these craft into their old
channels. The old single-turreted mon
-itors- win be returned to the League
Island navy yard. Some of the auxil-
1aries are still needed to look after
mine fields established along the coast.
The war department was busy all day
with matters pertaining to the cessa-
tion of hostilities. Secretary Alger con-
suited the president for some time, but
when he returned said that the military
commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rico
would not be announced today. There
was no need of haste, he said, as by
the terms Of the protocol ten days
were allowed for the selection of the
commission. There has been some
speculation as to who will be the COM
missioners, and nearly all Of the more
prominent officers of the army have
been canvassed, both volunteer and
regular. 1t seems to be generally con-
ceded that Gen. Lee will be one Of the
commissioners for Cuba, on account of
his knowledge of the conditions in the
island. Gen. Brooke and Gen. Henry
are mentioned as probable commission
ers for Porto Rico.
MUSTERING OUT TROOPS.
The subject of mastering out part
of the volunteer forces has been con-
sidered, and it is probable the total
force will be reduced to 100000. This
mastering out will not begin at once.
Garrisons of both regular and volun-
teer soldiers will remain in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines. Manila and
Porto Rico will be governed through
the military arm at present, and prob
ably the authority which the United
States eXerts in Cuba will be by the
same method. This state of things is
likely to continue until congress meets.
1t is the understanding of the war
department that the Spanish soldiers
in all places over which the United
States exercises authority will be vir-
tually prisoners Of war and under the
orders of the United States officers in
command.
The war department is now exercising
every effort in the direction of the
care Of sick and wounded soldiers and
is pushing forward the plans to make
the troops more comforta BILE.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-08-14

Alexander La Duke was a member
of Company 1 (Marinette) and Thomas
Stafford was a member of the Thir-
teenth infantry, United States regulars
The murder of Stafford was the re-
suit of a quarrel in wine shop in
the mountains near Ponce, where the
Second Wisconsin regiment was in
camp. Strict orders were given not
to leave the camp or enter the houses,
but La Duke, with two others, vio-
lated the order. In the winshop they
encountered two regulars, Stafford be-
ing crle of them. According to wit
nesses, La Duke and Stafford quarrel
ed and came to blows, during which he
struck Stafford with his fists, punish
ing him severely. The men were part
ed, but continued to quarrel. Stafford
is said to have rushed at La Duke, and
the latter is said to have warned him
to keep away or he would shoot him.
He is then said to have gone into an
other room and obtained his rife. When
he came out Stafford again renewed
the quarrel. La Duke then shot him,
the bullet passing through his lungs
and going through the house into the
yard, Stafford dying instantly. La
Duke surrendered himself and was
taken to the military prison.

Admiral Sampson Followed on

PLAYA DEL ESTE, Aug. 13.-The
American warships New York, Brook
lyn, Oregon, Indiana, Iowa and Massa-
chusetts will sail tomorrow for Tomp-
kinsville, unless the navy department
decides that they shall wait for the
troops from Santiago de Cuba Admiral
Sampson thinks it would be unwise to
take the troops aboard the warships,
on account Of the possible infection by
disease, and also because the ships
have hardly any accommodations. If
the troops are taken, the vessels will
be delayed two or three days.
Great pleasure Is expressed among
the fleet over the satisfao. Dry progress

ing it was rumored that Capt Gen.
Blanco had escaped from Havana,
probably ON the steamer Montserrat
Commodore Watson was communicated
with and the Dixie and Yankee were
sent to the Bahama channel to head
Blanco off. Admiral Sampson at once
decided to leave the Maria Teresa and
go to the western extremity Of Jamai-
ca, to Intercept Blanco should he at
tempt to escape in that direction. The
flagship made sixteen knots an hour
despite the foulness Of her bottom and
arrived off Jamaica yesterday morning
and crufsed. Probably the last gun
of the war was fired by the New York
at the British tramp steamer Acme,
which was chased and hove to outside
the three-mile shore limit. She was
bound from Cape Verde for Mobile,
and being evidently all right was al
lowed to proceed. The New York then
returned to Guantanamo.
Admiral Sampson says he thinks the
Maria Teresa will be got off all right
when she: has been ligf1tered, which
work will take probably week or
more. Lighters are to be procured from
Santiago. Capt. Pillsbury is overlook

late to comply with the request, but
he Is willing to furnish the men, if
they are still wanted, and incloses an

he has had time to cool off, perceives
that he acted with more haste than
good Judgment in withdrawing his
forces, and is seeking reconciliation.

WASHINGTON, Aug 13.-The sud
den transition from war to peace was
affected today in a complete dullness
and stagnation, through official quar-
terS- Instead of the hustle and activity
which have prevailed for months,
through the corridors of the war and
navy departments, there was a calm
ness not apparent since the mid-sum-
mer vacations Of last year. Most of
the officials went home early in the
DAY, enjoying the first partial holiday
since the war began.
There will be a large amount of de-
tail to be worked out from this time
forward, a gradual reduction of the
army and navy to peace footings, the
establishment of temporary and perma-
nent administrations for our new CO.
lonial possessions, the caring for the
wounded and prisoners, and the relief
of the distress in Cuba. The question
of immediate attention is the appoint
ment of the peace. commission which is
to meet at Paris, and for the military
commission to meet at Havana and
. San Juan. The president conferred
with Secretary Day during the day
. relative to the peace commission, but
{ 1T was said at the state department
late in the day that an announcement
of the commissioners might be deferred
for some days. 1t is understood that
the president has not fully determined
upon the personnel of the commission.
Several of the public men who saw him
today were satisfied that the commits
sion would be made up of Secretary
Day, Senators Allison and German,
either Joseph H. Choate or Elihu Root,
of New York, and probably a promi-
nent army officer. Gen. Corbin is
spoken of favorably in connection with
the army appointment on the commits
sion. The military commissions for
Cuba and Porto Rico are not receiving
any attention from the state depart
ment, as the military authorities will
have entire charge of those branches of
the peace settlement.
CLINCHING AUTHORITY.
During the day the state department
received a call from NJ Thiebault. sec
retary of the French embassy, for the
purpose of leaving a letter explaining
the authority given by cable to the
NAAOAA eNAAApeNSSepACi " sign lie peace
protocol These assurances already
had been given verbally, but the latter
gives them in a more definite form
and In the course of a few days the
complete written authorization from
Madrid will be filed with the state de-
partment.
Many congratulations kept hing to
the state department and to the White
house on the re-establtshment of peace.
1t is expected that the occupation of
Manila under the terms of the proto-
col will occur within the next few
hours. 1t was at first thought the
navy department had a dispatch boat
at Hong Kong ready to carry forward
the orders to Admiral Dewey and Gen.
Merritt, but the department learned
today that no dispatch boat was at
Hong Kong, although one was likely
to reach there in a day or two. Mean
while it is possible Consul Miller may
charter steamer and send the orders
forward. He has general instructions
as dispatch agent, and it was said at
the state department today that these
