ORDERS TO DEWEY.
Consul Wildman Sends q Steamer
With Notice of Peace.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-A World 's'
cable from Hongkong says: A swift
steamer put to sea in typhOon to-day
with orders from Washington to Ad-
miral Dewey and General Merritt to
suspend hostilities and to notify the
Spanish authorities in Manila that thS
peace protocol has been signed. Con-
sui Wildman expected the dispatches,
and the moment they were received by
telegraph he put them aboard a wait
ing steamer and hurried her away.
The United States Consulate was
thronged to-day by leading men
Hongkong. They called to extend fe-
licitations upon American triumphs.
They warmly commended Mr.. Wild
mans energy in rushing the peace or
ders, for it may save many lives.
As soon as the hurricane abates suf-
ficiently a large number of ships will
leave for Manila freighted with provi-
sions for the starving city.
The Philippine insurgent junta is
overjoyed at the issue of the war. It's
members hope for eventual annexation
to America. The Americans and Brit
ish here are delighted to learn that the
protocol provides that the United States
shall hold Manila at least until a def
mite treaty of peace is arranged. They
feel that the American occupation of
the Philippine capital, even if for only a
brief time, Will be an object lesson OF
the highest Importance to all concerned
1t will dispel the glamor about the
priests so the natives will no longer
stand in awe of them. Moreover, it will
curb the ambition of Germany and of
Japan.

SKATERS TROOPS LEAVING
VIII Probably All Get Away From
Santiago This Week,

WASHINGTON. Aug A. - BY
Wednesday or Thursday Of this week
1t is expected by War Department Off
Gals that all of General Skaters COM
mand will have lot Santiago. In a
dispatch to the War Department to-
night General Shafter says that the
early departure Of the troops now de-
pends entirely on the transports. which
are daily expected to arrive. All but
about 5000 men Of General Skaters
Corps have already sailed for this
country.
General Skaters report to the War
Department concerning the departure
of the troops follows:
Santiago de Cuba, Aug ii, 3:15 o. m.
All Of Cavalry Division, Kent's Di-
vision, Lawton's Division, except Sew
enth and First Infantry and sick and
suspects of those commands, have al
ready sailed, leaving Bates Division

Artillery, one battery Of Heavy Artillery

companies Of engineers to 60 If ships

Sagasta Keeps Closely His Own
Counsel in the Matter.
There viii be No Joint Protectorate Over
the Philippines by the United
States and the
Spaniards.

LONDON, Aug 15-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Times" says: 1.-The
publication Of the protocol has not made
much impression, because the-contents
were known. The only doubtful point
referred to the time of the convoca-
tion Of the Cortes. Although there is
a strong Cabinet dissension on this
point, some experimenting a crisis, lit
tie Importance need be attached to it.,
because it is even unlikely, in the event
Of one or two Ministers resigning, that
the course of the peace negotiations
would be seriously affected. because in
the long run Sagasta is certain to have
his own way.
Meanwhile he allows his colleagues
to discuss the subject freely and wisely
keeps his own counsel. There is no
conceivable doubt that the Cortes will
approve of peace, and the date Of the
convocation Of the Cortes can only af-
feet personal party interest
TT is too soon to speak confidently Of
the impression the preliminary condi-
tions of peace. when examined closely,
will make on the Spanish people gen.
orally; bat there is. no doubt that the
news of the termination on hostilities
will be received by many with satisfac-
ton.
"It may be pretty safely assumed that
the decision of the Government will be
approved. Whether the Government
will subsequently be called to account
for negligence in its preparation for war
and fer the manner in which. the cam
paign was conducted is another Ques-
ton.
I'm the peace negotiations no serious
complications are apprehended in re-
gard to Cuba and Porto Rico. If the
members of the local commission for
evacuation have not yet been appointed
it is surely because the Government
wishes to appoint officers md officials
of the same rank as those to be appoint
ed by the United States Government;
and at last nights Cabinet council it
was decided to save time BY appointing
persons on the spot.
Already some people are beginning
to console themselves with the idea that
the loss of those two islands, though
most painful to Spanish national feel
ing, as consummating the destruction
Of the great Spanish empire in the
Western Hemisphere, is really not SO
serious as is generally supposed.
THE Philippine question will be found
much more difficult of solution, and al
ready on one point all competent au-
thorities here seem agreed, namely, that
whatever solution may be adopted there
must be no Joint sovereignty or joint
protectorate or anything of that kind.
An attempt to combine Spanish and
American methods Of administration
would inevitably lead to disastrous COM
plicationS"

WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.-A dispatch

tonight from General Shafter indicates
that the health conditions among the

SACRAMENTO, AUGUST 1ses-EGHr

1t ie believed at the War Department
That the 1900 men now there are suffi-
clent to garrison Manila and the ground
which the United States will occupy for
the present. All the troops that were
with General Shafter in the Santiago
campaign will be out of Cuba by Friday
OF this week. General Shafter will ac-
company them to Montauk Point. There
VIII remain at Santiago five regiments
or fmmunes to do garrison duty. 1t is
yet possible that a battery will be sent
TO Santiago to take the place of the
batteries which are to be removed
General Miles has about 1900 men at
Porto Rico. They will be sufficient for
the occupation Of the island, and per-
haps more than are needed after the
Spanish evacuate.
The remainder Of the troops will re-
main in the various camps to which
they have been assigned for the pres
ent, though something may be done
looking towards diminishing the num-
Der when it becomes apparent that they
are no longer needed. The Govern
ment will dispose of the transports that
nave been in use as fast as they can
be released and are no longer required
for service. All vessels Of the navy
that can be spared from service in the
West Indies, will be ordered to ports
In the States, where the men will be
given brief holidays. The big battle
ships Of the fleet will be put in dry dock
as soon as possible and undergo such
repairs as may be necessary. There
is scarcely vessel of the navy that
does not need repairing. 1t is expected
that the large dock in the New York
yard will be ready to receive the ships
IN about two weeks. The auxiliary
vessels of the navy which will not be
used for the permanent navy will be
disposed of as soon as they go out Of
commission, probably being sold at auc-

GIVING MCKINLEY CREDIT.
Has Kept His Finger on the Ma
tional Pulse.

LONDON, Aug. 10. - The Times"
this morning comments editorially upon
the generous universal recognition of
the part which President Mckinley has
played throughout the war between the
United States and Spain, and says: IF
foreign observers might presume to
have an opinion upon his conduct, it
would probably be that President Nc
Kinley has kept his finger constantly
upon the national pulse, and has known
how to stimulate the direct national
thought without too markedly outrun-
ming its movement.
Everything has been done in the
open; every move has been discussed
as a possibility all over the United
States before the Government was ir-
revocably committed one way or the
other, and the result of the cautious,
tentative policy is that where he stands
at this moment the President has the
whole American people at his back.
I'VE do not know that there can be
any higher craftsmanship for Presi-
dent governing under the Constitution
of the United States"
