.ENGLAND'S SUPPORT
Is Assured Us for Cuba and
the Philippine Islands.
It United States Are Prepared to As
sumo the Responsibility
Who Will Have the Audaciiy to Stand and Say
10 Us '.May7"

London, Aug. 20.-The Times, this
morning. says editorially that it FORE
sees circumstances which may compel
the United States to a permanent occu-
patton Of Cuba and adds:
If America is prepared to undertake
the responsibility Of the government
of the whole Philippine group. 1t is
hard to see how any other power could
legitimately interfere.
If the United States repudiates sucil
responsibility a very perilous state OF
things might ensue. because 1t would
not be easy to dispute the right of other
powers to terminate the state OF
anarchy.
Therefore. many difficulties will be
avoided by American annexation.
I'm any case no European power need
reckon upon finding the United States
as easy to coerce as Japan"
The Berlin correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: The newspapers ex-
hibit almost childish glee at the state
ment that Admiral Dewey sanctioned
Gov. Gen. Augustin's departure and
declare that the English have nothing
now on which to base Vaccinations
to disturb the relations between Ger
many and America.
The Hong Kong correspondent of the
Times says the slaughter OF rebels in
Southern China continues. Corpses
daily float past WI Chau. Two hum
dred rebels who had entered Tai Wong
Kong were defeated by Gen. Macho,
who killed 100 of the rebels and took
40 of them prisoners. The gentry in
the districts of Paklan and Wungun
daily send to the magistrates between
10 and 20 rebels for execution.

largest fleets of warships ever as
sembled will be brought together in
the next few days at Fort Monroe.
Already 81 warships are under order to
rendezvous there and the orders still to
be issued will raise the total to the
neighborhood of 20. Naval officials
say it is difficult to realize the extent
of such a marine aggregation in one
harbor. The orders began issuing,
last Monday, when five ships We're Or
dered to Fort Monroe. On the 18th
another ship was added: on the 18th,
eight more was sent; and on the 18th,
II ships were added. Today's orders
include II more ships. Before the Or
ders began issuing there were eight
warships at Fort Monroe, so that the
total, today, is 81.
Those included in today's orders are
the Newport, Rodgers, Lebanon,
Wampatuck, Morris, Grim. Lancaster.
Machias, Osceola. Peoria, Massasoit,
Sioux, Cheyenne, Waban, Chickasaw,
Helena, Detroit and Yankton.
These and the ships previously or
dered are mainly small craft, although
there are a number of larger cruisers
and gtiHbSats, Including the San Fran
CISCO Helena. Detroit, Topeka, Mar
ietta and Castine.
The movement of these ships north
ward is due to the close of hOstilities
and more particularly to the desire to
get the ships away from points Of pos
sible fever infection. They will now
be put in thorough repair and then
crews will be gradually changed from
naval militiamen to sailors of the reg
ular navy.
The navy department has not yet
determined what ships will go to Ha.
vana, San Juan and any other points
of Cuba and Porto Rico. There is felt
to be no hurry about this until the au-
thorities of the United States Is fully
established throughout the islands
In the meantime the matter of patrol
ing the shore points is being consid-
cred and in due time a number of the
light draught auxiliary craft and
some of the single turreted monitors
will be used for the coast patrol. II
is found, however, that only four OF
the old monitors of the Civil War are
tit for service in Southern waters.
AS many naval vessels will be CEN
tered about the West Indies from this
time forward the navy department will
send the new floating dock recently
b3ught in New York down the coast
to Pensacola. Fla. where it we'll be
kept for docking warships. At that
point also there are good naval work
shops to be used in conjunction with
The floating dock. The dock is now be-
ing inspected and will be towed to
Pensacola as soon as the September
gales are over.
There are few development of i'm
oOrtance in the war situation, today.
The authorities are still waiting for
Cen. Merritt's report upon the list of
casualties and the state, wor and navy
departments are interested in knowing

CRAFT ~ SAGASTA.
War Not Ended---Simply
Suspension Of HostiIities. 2
Possibly Dewey, SchIey, Sampson,
Shafter, Roosevelt and Others


Madrid, Aug. 19-El Liberal pub
fishes remarks made by Senior Sagasta
on the diplomatic and political situa-
ton. quoting the premier. as follows:
From legal point of view the pres
emit state of things is neither peace nor
war. but merely a suspension OF hos
tilities.
IAN armistice would have allowed
US to dispel better the obscufity Of the
situation, but the United States de-
clined to agree to our making a step
further in advance.
THE questions to be solved are num-
erous and complex. What we have
done first Is to lay down certain bases.
on which each minister may make any
observations which study OF the sub
ject suggests.
These will continue to be treated in
daily cabinet councils, 1t being held
that the bases in question are the fun
damental instructions for the guidance
Of the various commissions in the
forthcoming negotiations to be supple.
mented and rectified subsequently by
telegraph.
I'm Cuba, besides evacuation there
are many other problems. Spain may
abandon her sovereignty over the
greater Antilles: but there will remain
the question of edifices and all our
properties.
There are law suits before the tri-
bunals affecting the interests of the
Spaniards. Where and when will these
be decided?
In Havana, where a large number OF
criminals have been condemned by
Spanish tribunals. what it to be done
with them?
Then there are other questions for
which We have to fix a basis OF dis
cussion and agreements regarding the
Philippines. .;,,,..
Besides these and other problems Of
tsASAtCh tuCTG Is u DIeImls
nary question to be discussed.
According to international law, as
suspension of hostilities has been sign
ed, the surrender of Manila ought to
have no legal efficacy. How will that
principle be understood by the United
States?
This causes us more anxiety and we
give it great attention; but we are still
awaiting the information demanded
from General Jaudenes. which has not
yet reached US on account of the diff
ficulties of communication between
Manila and Hong Kong"
These remarks have all the appear
ance of being authentic. as they are in
accord with information from other
sources and in harmony with Senior
Sagasta's usual style.
The public is still anxious for an ex-
PLANTATION Of Governor General Angus
tins mysterious departure from Ma
Mia. but it's curiosity is not likely to
be satisfied for some time. the govern
ment declining to say anything.
1t is rumored that the government
will instruct the Cuban commissioners
to present a strong case for the recog-
milton OF Spain's claim for compensa-
ton for the cession of public works in
Cuba, the compensation to take the
form of saddling upon Cuba the bulk Of
the Cuban debt existing in. 1896 The
papers advocate the strengthening of

C. Pappadea. who runs fruit store and

streets, was before the Recorder yesterday
ON the charge of selling liquor on Sun
day.
Il developed that the charge was made

That of keeping open his place on Sunday.
Residents of the neighborhood testified
thnt Pappadea kept his place open and
did general retail business. Pappadea
claimed. however, that under the ordi-
nance he was entitled TO sell certain arti-
Giles on Sunday.
Recorder Hariridge continued the case
until to-day in order to examine into the
ordinance A city ordinance adopted some
time since by the present Council permits

said to have been a general laxity in the

sALUTEs TO THE PRESIDENT.
Tventy-One Guns VIII BE Fired in
His Honor.
Absolutely Pure

T'N enty-One Guns VIII BE Fired in
His Honor.
I Twenty-one guns will salute the Presl-
dent and his party when they arrive at
the Central Railroad depot Saturday. Lat
er, in the Park extension, another salute
of twenty-one guns will be fired.
The salute that viii greet the President
as his train rolls into the city will be
fired from the guns of the Chatham Ar
tiIery. Capt Walker of the battery has
rendered its services to the committee on
arrangements for the entertainment of the
President, and Gen. Keifer has directed
that the command take up its position on
the Louisville road to fire its salute as the
train passes on the Central Railroad. This
salute will be merely that of the city
of Savannah to the chief executive of the
nation.
The official salute to the President will
be that fired in the Park extension. 1t
will be given as the President takes his
stand for the review of the troops. This
will be fired as a mark of respect to the
President of the United States in his ca
pacity as such and as the commander
in-chief of the army. The guns of the
artillery in camp here viii be used for the
salute.
The deep roar of the guns will wake
the echoes about the extension. The dis
charges will follow at short and regular
intervals until the twenty-first has sent
forth its last roar of welcome.
Whenever the President visits an army
post or camp the regulations call for a
salute in his honor. The same is true of
the visits of other officials and officers.
The Vice President. the Secretary of War
and the speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives are all entitled to a salute of
nineteen guns. Members of the cabinet
other than the Secretary of War receive
a salute of seventeen guns. The COM
manding general of the army, though his
rank be that of a major general, receives
salute of fifteen guns, while in honor
of the coming of any other major general
thirteen guns are fired. A brigadier, the
lowest rank entitled to a salute Of guns,
has eleven fired in his honor
