SIMPSONS RECRUITS
Gets the Pick of the Sailors Relieved
From Patrol Duty

WASHINGTON, July 30.-Being able to
diminish measurably the force of naval
auxiliary vessels employed in patroling the
Atlantic Coast, Captain Bartlett, command
ing this service, has begun to assign some
of the best sailors heretofore employed on
those vessels to Admiral SIMPSONS fleet.
He has given orders for the detachment Of
100 of these sailors to the North Atlantic
fleet. Some have been sent to Norfolk al
ready, and thirty were sent yesterday from
Pensacola to Santiago on the steamer Ia
coma for distribution among the vessels
from Rhode Island, New York and Mary
land, but the thirty who sailed from Pen
sacola were recruited in the Southern
States. There are still 300 of these aux
iliary sailors available and they will be
drawn upon as soon as needed by Sampson

SAILORS PRIZE MONEY
Thousands Due the Seamen of Samp
sons Fleet

WASHINGTON, July 3o.-The sailors of
SIMPSONS fleet who participated In the
destruction of the vessels of Ceryera IS
squadron probably wiz have to wait some
time yet for their prize money. The Navy
Department has prepared lists of all the
crews Of the Spanish vessels and of the
vessels of our own fleet that participated in
the engagement who were entitled to prize
money for the use of the Auditor Of the
Treasury in settling the accounts, but the
Treasury Department officials in their care
to prevent any misapplication of funds dis
covered that they must be supplied with
further detailed information, and this re-
quest has necessitated the return of the
lists to the North Atlantic feet off Santiago
for amendment. To prevent further trouble
and delay on this score, Secretary Long has
issued circular, No. 43, which has been
dispatched to all commanding officers of the
navy laying down the rules for the prepar-
alton of the prize lists as suggested by the
order from the Navy Department.

insurgents themselves would have to be
fought.
Based on this depletion of the gravity
of the situation there 1t would take $50, 0Ot
soldiers from this country to cope with the
insurgents throughout all the islands. The
deferment of final disposition of the Phil
ippine problem was based on substantially
the following grounds:
One-That the United States has no salts
factory knowledge Of existing conditions
there.
Second-Nothing is known of what obli-
cations were incurred as between the
United States forces and the Philippine
insurgents.
Third-The present defiant attitude of
the insurgents is unknown.
Fourth-The extent to which Aguinaldo
controls the islands of the Philippine group
is unknown.
Fifth-Incident to the foregoing. 1t is
not known what will have to be done by
this government in subjugating the in
surgent forces, the Spanish and the
natives.
The French Ambassador left the EN-
bassy shortly before, 2 o'clock accompan-
led by his First Secretary, NJ. Thiebaut.
They were shown through to the private
corridor of the White House and the CON-
ference began soon after o'clock.

Missouri last evening was principally
destructive in Lafayette and johnson
counties. At Fayetteville the stores OF
w. H. Siegfried and S. F. Dollhouse were
demolished and many other buildings
were wrecked. There were no fatalities,
however, though several persons were
hurt. North of Fayetteville many fine
farms were swept, buildings being de-
stroyed and crops ruined. In this coun-
try district Mrs. Ashbrook and Joe b.

Movements of the Troops
CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK.
July 3O.-The movement of troops from
Camp Thomas is temporarily suspended
and all the commands have settled down
to work as though they were to be here per-
manently. The Sixth Tennessee Infantry,
which mas been in camp at Knoxville since
organizing has arrived at Camp Thomas
today. The Fourth Tennessee Infantry,
which is now in camp at Knoxville is ex-
pected to come to Camp Thomas durine
the next few days.
The Fourth Illinois is again settling
down to business. The boys have about
gotten over their bitter disappointment al
rot getting to go to the front at this time,
and nearly every man has returned to the
regiment for duty. AS soon as the rumors
to the effect that Colonel Culver was re-
sponsible for their recall will be shown
to be false, the boys were generally salts
fed.
For sleeping while on picket duty, Pri-
vate William G. Jegle, of the First Penn
sylvania, has been sentenced to serve six
months In prison, forfeit all pay during
Imprisonment and then be dishonorably
discharged.
There are now twelve regiments at the
PARK with temperance canteens. The Y. NJ.
C. A. has made great inroads on the places
where beer has been sold Beer can be
purchased at only about fifteen canteens
now.

is coaling at Guam island.
The troops encamped at Paranjo have not
yet made move the condition of the coun-
try between the camp and the outskirts OF
Manila being such, on account of the
heavy rains that have fallen, as to make ii
impossible to advance. The insurgents are
still active but accomplishing nothing.
August May Give UP
HONGKONG, July 30.-Letters received
here from Cavite under date of July 2G
state that the insurgents have done moth
ing since their second repulse at Manila
when the American troops We're held under
arms through fear of an attack by the
SpaniardS. There are now 1900 American
soldiers within an hour of Manila, near
Malate Their camp is protected by trench
es and guns and is covered by the guns OF
the cruiser Boston and the Callao from the
sea.
The American transports, it is said, will
start on their return to San Francisco in a
few days. There is no sickness among the
troops
1t is believed that Governor General Au-
gusti will surrender owing to the fact that
Admiral Camara's squadron has returned
to Spain, but the army officers desire to
resist to the last, and there is a prospect
that peace will be concluded prior to the
capture of Manila by the Americans.
About a dozen small Spanish steamers
have passed out recently under the insur-
gent flag ostensiby to go to Gen. Aguin
aldo, but the suspicious of the Americans
, were aroused and no more of these craft
will be allowed to proceed.
A Triple Alliance
WASHINGTON, July 30.-On the author
ity of high official of the state department
it may be said that the future of the Phil
ippines depends on the action of the insur-
gents in aiding the United States in giving
the islands a stable government. Then
will have to evacuate the entire Philip
pines In the other event protectorate of
the interested powers. United States, Eng
land and Germany, may be formed on our
invitation.

friend. The fact is that Aguinaldo has been
two-faced with the United States, and it
has been evident for some time that he was
jealous of the American power, as trans
port after transport landed here with more
soldiers While he kept up friendly 'front.'
he has issued secret orders to his men not
to permit the Americans to secure neces-
sary horses and other equipments. All this
has been very annoying to Admiral Dewey
and the American generals, and Gen. Mer-
rift, now that he has taken command in
the field, will probably find Aguinado a
more formidable opponent than August.
The insurgent commander has been drop
ping his mask and has become openly in
solent. Admiral Dewey has communicated
this state of affairs to WASHINGTON, though
he is not at all alarmed at the outlook. The
other insurgent chiefs are chatting under
Aguinaldo's orders and trouble is brewing
in his camp. His officers are offended by
his assumption Of the dictatorship and the
rank and file object strenuously to the war
taxes. So his insoent and defiant attitude
may be changed by his own people, with
out the necessity of action by the American
commander.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H, July 30.-One
more death from pneumonia occurred
among the Spanish prisoners at Camp
Long today and two others are at the
point of death tonight. The 1856 patients
in the main hospital were each presented
today with a bouquet of flowers by MEM
bers of the families of officers at the
yard, and while the Spaniards could not
speak English, they repeated several
times in Spanish, MANY thanks, ladies, -
and seemed to be very much affected by
the gift.

Beginning of the End

WASHINGTON, July 3O.-After a day
of anxious elaboration and impor tant con-
situations, the reply of the United States
government to the Spanish overture for
peace was this afternoon placed in hands of
NJ. Cambon, the French ambassador to be
by him transmitted to the government of
Spain. 1t was 4:30 o'clock before the min
lister received the answer and as it makes
about HOO words in all and must be re-
duced to the diplomatic cipher and then
transmitted by cable, the Madrid author
tiles probably will not receive it until some
time tomorrow, Sunday.

the agreement reached yesterday, the
members of the cabinet began to assemble
at the White House, but it was nearly II

consumed in going over this and giving it

however. Probably over night new fac

fiuences had been brought to bear, for the
cabinet was soon engaged in an animated
discussion of the Philippine islands set
