LEE GO TO CUBA.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-Major
General Fitzhugh Lee has been ordered
from Jacksonville to Washington. I
am informed that he will be made one
of the military commissioners for Cuba.
I am informed, moreover, that he will
be in command Of the garrison of the
department. Of Cuba. with troops to be
designated later, and to be sent to Cuba
as soon as sanitary conditions permit.
Washington, d. c., Aug. 15.-The war
department will ask congress to in
crease the standing army even beyond
it's present war basis. Such action has
been outlined in the Journal since the
beginning of the war. The department
has decided hat the $4,000 men now in
service will not be sufficient for the
needs of the government.
The whole volunteer army will dis
his final peace proclamation.
The proclamation of peace will dis
band all the volunteers and necessitate
new enlistments. General Alger said
that it is the intention of the
department to garrison the places
named both with regulars and volun-
teers until the proclamation. The Sew
enth army corps, under General Fitz-
hugh Lee, will be distributed in Cuba,
and the corps will be strengthened as
occasion permits for this purpose.
The eighteen regiments under Cen
eral Wade, which We're intended for
Porto Rico. and which are still under
orders for that place, will! be distrib-
uted for garrison duty in Porto Rico
and Havana, 80 that the val depart
ment's idea that all the state soldiers
shall have duty outside of the United
States will be carried out.
The mastering out of soldiers still at
muster grounds under the second call
will begin In about fifteen days. The
next order to be issued by the navy de-
partment will be n placing out Of
commission many Of the vessels or
dered north yesterday by Acting Sec
rotary Aliens cable. Most Of the auxil-
larry ships will be the first disposed of.

COLONIAL GOVERNMENT.
Mckinley will Give Such to Por-
to Rico.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 15.-Plans
for. the temporary government of Cuba
and the territory which will b. ac-
quired from Spain as a result Of the
war are now under serious considera-
ton by the president and members Of
the cabinet.
Porto Rico, as an actual acquisition
to the territory Of the United States,
will be placed in charge Of a military
governor who will exercise a super
visory control of all the functions Of
government, under the direction Of the
min upon a permanent form of gov
eminent for the island.
The president, under the constitution,
has no authority to go beyond this pre-
liminary or temporary stage in the
establishment Of n system of gov,
ernmental control, and, although it is
altogether probable that in his message
to congress on the subject he will ex-
ercise his constitutional privileges Of
making recommendations, upon con-
gress alone will devolve the RESPONSE
bility and duty of determining the
character of the political relations
which Porto Rico shall permanently
bear to the United States.
There are reasons for the belief that
the president himself favors a colonial
form Of government; that this view
Is shared by members Of the cabinet.
Canada is noted as having a model
colonial government which is satisfac-
tory alike to a majority Of it's people
and to the mother country.
This system, however, it is believed,
can be put in operation only after the
lapse Of a considerable period of time
and after the people have demonstrated
satisfactorily their ability to govern
themselves intelligently in all local
matters.
Upon the evacuation Of Cuba, it is
ident to establish for the whole island
a temporary military government sim,
liar to that now in operation at San
tiago.
When order has been fully restored
and the people have settled down to
their Peaceful occupations, it Is be-
lieved to be the view of the president
that a convention Of representatives OF
the people should be called to vote upon
the question of a form of government
for the island.
The presence Of the army Of the
United States would be a guarantee
that every citizen who would prescribe
to an oath binding himself to support
whatever form Of government should
be agreed upon, would have the un-
questioned right to vote for whomso-
ever he pleased to represent him at
this convention.
The action Of this body, however,
would have to be submitted to the
United States for approval or disap-
prevail. It is pointed out hat this con-
v~ention of representatives Of the whole
people, in the free exercise of their
choice, might express a wish to be-
come a colonial dependency of the
United States, or might favor a repub-
lican form of government, or possibly
a majority might ask to be annexed to
the United States.
In any of these contingencies it is be-
lieved that their wish will meet the
approval of the president and his ad-
visers.

Drought in Australia has carried off
enormous numbers of sheep; the loss is
estimated at $4,000, 900. That this must
materially affect the mutton market
Of the world cannot be doubted. Brit

Argentina for her supplies, and the lat

Australia just at present. A survey Of
the situation as to the worlds mutton
stocks indicates a highly promising fu-
ture for sheep feeders in this country.
Moreover, it should be remembered that
wool is on the rise. The immense
stocks accumulated in this country by
the wool trust anticipatory to the en-
forcement of the new tariff have of
course clogged the market, and the
activity is not so great as it would
otherwise be, but with the demand from

The New York Journal Of Commerce
estimates this years American wheat
crop at 700, 900, 900 bushels. OF this prob
ably IS, 1000, 900 bushels will be required
tor seed, $50, 900, 900 for bread for Amer
lean eaters, leaving, according to this
estimate, 1856, 900, 900 bushels to replen,
Ish reserves and to ship abroad. The
reserves are known to be unusually
low. Public warehouses and elevators
held on July 16 only 10,461, 900 bushels
of wheat. This is lower than the WIS.,
ible supply has fallen at any time in
the last ten years. At the correspond
ing date two years ago the visible sup
ply was 46, TAB, 900 bushels. The foreign
demand continues to absorb much more
than current receipts, so that the WIS.,
ible supply still declines at the rate of
1900, 900 bushels per week. Should this
foreign demand continue strong it may
be possible to spare from this years
crop, if the Journals estimate be taken
as a basis, about 10000, 900 bushels more
than was shipped abroad last year.
Should foreign prices not prove suffi-
GENTLY attractive, 50,0 DOC, 900 to 70, 0OO, 900
bushels may readily be added to the
present American warehouse and ele-
vator stocks.
