IF THE TERMS ARE ACCEPTED

Hostilities Will Cease at Once. But
Our Military Organization Will BE
Perfected
Washington, Aug. 6.-Assuming that
Spain has decided to accept our terms
for the negotiation of peace, it is ex-
pected that agreement will be formally
completed by the first of next week
and that hospitalities will be suspend
ed at once This will not be followed
at any early date by the disbanding of
the army. but on the contrary the pc
riod before the signing of the formal
peace treaty and its ratification by the
Senate will be devoted to perfectng
Il compact and effective organization of
the army and cleaning, repairing and
placing all the vessels of the navy The
sick and wounded of the army will
probably be given their discharges at
an early date. The men who are in
good condition or are suffering only tenn
porary disability will be held together
and put in the best possible shape for
service. A part of the forces sent to
Porto Rico will be kept there and others
sent to Havana and other Cuban towns
for garrison duty. 1t is regarded rs
quite probable that some of the best of
alton in the United States may have to
be sent again to Cuba. The so-called

Pope Directs Archbishop of Manila TO
Place Himself and The Clergy Under
Our Protection.

Washington. d. c.. August 6.-Inas-
much as it has been stated that the
Archbishop of Manila has been directed
by the Vatican to place himself and his
clergy under the protection of the Ameri-
can commanders, it may ne stated that
such protection viii be afforded ON ex-
actly the same terms and conditions that
1t will be extended to the clergymen
of all religious denominations and to
all non-combatants in Manila and the
remainder Of the Philippines. 1t is
known that the insurgents have parti-
cularly singled out the Catholic clergy
as the objects Of their vengeance with
out doubt inspired by the powerful assis-
tance afforded to the Spanish cause by
the priests and friars in their efforts
to rcDress the rebellion IN its earliest
stages. However. so long as the clergy
refrain from taking up arms in the
Spanish cause the American command
ers, naval and military. will afford them
such protection as the rules of civilized
warfare require.

Newport News. Va, August 6.-Trans-

from Old Point to take supplies and
troops to Porto Rico. The work of load
ing the ship was commenced Immediately
after she tied up at the wharf. but the

or Tuesday morning. When she leaves
she will have on board General Grant,
his staff and the Fifth Illinois regiment
The Illinois regiment superseded the
Third Kentucky regiment in the Third
brigade, of which General Grant is the
commander. The order making the
change was published tonight. The ILL
nois troops arrived here yesterday morn
ing from Chickamauga Park, having
been attached to General Wade's divis-
ion. 1t was stated tonight that the
change was made on account OF sickness
among the Kentucky soldiers. Many
of the men are suffering with mumps
and measles and the regiment is not in
condition to be moved. However, the
Third will go to Porto Rico at a later
day. The remaining six companies or
the First Kentucky regiment will en-.
bark for Porto Rico some time next
week, as will also the Hundred and Six
