island in the Ladrones, to be selected
by the United States, shall be coded
to the latter
3. That the United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and har-
Dor of Manila, pending the conclusion
Of a treaty of peace, which shall ter

4. That Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish islands in the West Indies
shall be Immediately evacuated and
that commissioners to be appointed
within ten days, shall within thirty days
from the signing Of the protocol, meet
at Havana and San Juan respectively to

evacuation.
5. That the United States and Spain

than the lst of October.
6. On the signing of the protocol
hostilities will be suspended and notice
to that effect will be given as soon as
possible by each government to the
commanders Of its military and naval
forces.
As soon as the peace protocol was
signed the president sent for Secreta-
ries Alger and Long and General Cor
bin, and by his direction orders to
cease hostilities forthwith were sent to
Generals Miles, Merritt and Shafter,
to Admirals Dewey and Sampson and
military commanders generally.
The order sent to General Merritt to
suspend hostilities was as follows:
''Adjutant Generals Office, Wash
ington, August u, 1895 Merritt,
Manila: The president directs all
military operations against the enemy
be suspended. Peace negotiations
are nearing completion, a protocol
having just been signed by represent
atives of the two countries. You will
inform the commanders of the Span
ish forces in the Philippines of these
instructions. Further orders will fol-
low. Acknowledge receipt
"By order Of the secretary of war:
Oh. G. CoRBIN,
"Adiutant General.
The orders sent to General Miles
and General Shafter were identical
with the above save as to names.
AS the order states further instruc-
tions will be sent to each general.
General Merritt will be directed to
confer with the Spanish commander at
Manila to carry out the terms of the
protocol and to occupy Manila imme-
diately. General Miles will put him
self in communication with the chief
authority in Porto Rico for the pur-
pose of having the Spanish forces turn
over San Juan and other points to him
preparatory to evacuation. Owing to
the conditions in Cuba, the orders to
General Shafter to be sent hereafter
will be much different than those to
other generals.
The navy department is also prepar-
ing orders to all commanders on lines
similar to the war department order.

GENERAL VIEW nF cAn1z-

Spanish cabinet which is moved to
make propositions Of peace will be able
to do so without the danger of bringing
on a riot
Very imposing and fierce look those
old fortifications which in times past
served to guard the ports Of Spain, but
they are the same kind Of morros which
Sampson and Schley pounded to pieces
at san Juan and Santiago. That work,
however, is today unknown to the Span.
ish people. The stories Of those BON.
bardments were twisted by the Spanish
press until they were made to appear as
glorious victories.
When Commodore Watson's squadron
gets through with its target practice off
Cadiz, Cartagena and Barcelona, the
stay at home Spaniards will have very
different idea Of what the American
gunner can do when he is turned loose.
Covering in her own front door, Spain
will learn from an object lesson what
she has so long refused to believe, and
then she will want to quit fighting.
1t is said that Commodore Watson s
first move will be to take the Caniuies
and then establish either there or at
Ceuta, Spain African penal colony, a
naval base Of operations. Then he will
commence operations against the Span
ish coast provided Camara does not
furnish a diversion.
SPANS peninsular coast line is bold
and precipitous, but the principal sea-
ports can almost all be shelled from the
open sea, and therefore cannot be de.
Tended by torpedoes, valuable only in
shallow bays and harbors The coast
detenses ore mostly ancient and many
of their guns Of an obsolete class, such
as were used in our civil war. Some
modern guns, however, have lately been
erected in commanding positions, which
improvements are now going on.
The map shows three coasts, one to
the northward, bordering on the Allan
tic ocean, 430 miles long; one to the
southwark with seaboard on the At
lantic 1870 miles long and the third to
the eastward, on the Mediterranean, 10
miles long, a total stretch of shore Of
1880 miles. The southeast and east
coasts are singularly destitute of natural
harbors Artificial harbors, however,
have been constructed at Malaga, AL
meria, Cartagena, Alicante, Valencia,
TarraGOna and Barcelona.
On paper all these ports are strongly
fortified, and most of them the Span
iards believe to be impregnable. But
the Spanish sometimes build their forts
as Weyler won his victories.
There are three great naval stations
in Spain-Ferrol ON the north coast,
above Portugal; Cadiz, below Portugal,
and Cartagena, in the Mediterranean.
Ferrol is the strongest and may be call
ed the citadel of Spain. The town is in
visible from the sea, and its surround
ing hills are strongly fortified with the

tales Castle on either side Of the en-
trance to the lower bay. At about the
center of the isthmus strong intrench-
ment extends at length to prevent a hos
tile landing back of the city.
The bastions and ramparts around the
city itself are strong and up to date.
There are four IL inch disappearing
guns at Cadiz, besides the necessary
number Of smaller guns and good NOR
tar batteries.
Our vessels would venture no nearer
than about two miles offshore where
lies threatening chain of sunken rocks.
Yet even at a distance of seven miles
our fast cruisers could use their great
guns with some effect. At two miles
our gunners would have a clean view
Of the arsenal and drydocks, and would
have no difficulty in depriving the dons
of their strongest naval station.
Along the Mediterranean lie Spain's
richest seacoast cities Since our great
and good friend John Bull holds the
only match which can explode the great
volcano Of Gibraltar we could scrape
past this with impunity, avoiding Ia
rifa, a small Spanish isle east of the
great rock and probably the best forti-
fed post belonging to the enemy From
Gibraltar east along the Mediterranean
the shore line forms an elevated rampant
extending 20 miles to Malaga. At the
eXtremities have been erected strong de.
fensive works, and between these are
scattered Spanish guard and watch
houses. Malaga lies on a level plain,
close to the sea, and can be readily
shcllcd. Proceeding on toward Barcelo.
ma, we would pass seven good sized
ports.
CartaGena, foremost Of these and an
important seat Of commerce, could be
approached 10y an open roadstead,
whence we could shell the factory for
making the famous Hontoria guns of
the Spanish navy and numerous ware
houses for storing arms and ammuni-
ton. Spain would thus lose its princi-
pal base Of army supplies. The defenses
to he overcome consist of and 10 inch
guns, mounted at the end Of mole ex-
tending mile from the shore. Behind
these, in the city, are numerous guns
Of smaller caliher.
Farther to the east we would find
Barcelona, one Of the principal manu-

For Porto Rico.
The Expedition Started---Gen Miles's
Plan of Campaign.

The advance expedition to Porto Rico,
under Gen. Miles, started from Santiago
Tuesday, and is to be landed on that isl
and before the end of this week, according
to final orders issued from the war depart
ment. AS rapidly as possible Major Gen
eral Brooke's troops will hasten after it.,
to cooperate in the energetic campaign
which has been mapped out
The troops under General Miles's i'm
mediate command aggregate nearly 10000,
and those assigned to General Brooke ex-
coed $1,000 men. General Miles reports
having already left the vicinity of San
tiago on the auxiliary cruiser Yale, with
General Randolph and four batteries of
light artillery, stopping at Guantanamo to
await the strong naval convoy, which will
prepare a safe landing place by Smelling
the selected locality near San Juan.
The plan of campaign adopted by Gen
eral Miles is understood to contemplate
movements of extreme rapidity and ag-
gressiveness. The island is barely half as
large as the part of Santiago province
which was surrendered by General Toral,
and its ports, with the exception of San
Juan, are practically unprotected, and can
be captured with comparative ease. San
Juan, though practically unassailab!e by
land, can easily be rendered uninhabitable
by the warships, as Admiral Sampson
demonstrated two months ago, and in all
probability it could be quickly brought to
terms. 1t is the most perfect specimen of
a walled town in this hemisphere, and its
possession is really the sole objective of
General Miles at this time, as it is believed
the other places on the island would sur
render promptly at his demand.
The navy department is rapidly moving
the large fleet of auxiliary craft, made up
of merchant ships, large ocean-going
yachts, tugs, etc, from Atlantic coast
points to Cuban waters, where they will
be placed on blockade duty, thus releasing
the larger ships for more active duty at
Porto Rico and the coast of Spain.

Greeted a Former Pastor.

Rev. n. W. Alger of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, preached yesterday at the Baptist
church. Mr.. Alger being a well known
aud popular former pastor of the church, a
large audience greeted him. His sermon
was an informal one, taking more the char
acter of very familiar talk with his
former parishioners. He spoke very feel
ingly of his regard for his old people, his
pleasure at seeing the great improvements
both of the village and more particularly
in the church, and congratulated them up
on their improved conditions in many re-
spects. He told them something of his
home and people in New Mexico, and some
of the things he had to contend with in
church work. One thing which embarrasses
his work there is the changeable nature of
his congregation, there being now but six
members of his church who were there
when he went there six years ago, 1t is a
place made up largely of health seekers
who come for time and when better re-
turn to their old homes. He also told of
many blessings in his labors.

Theatrical.
Maine and Georgia" by Company
Now Being Formed Here.

The Brosnahan- jackson Theatrical com
pany, owned locally by John E. Brosnahan
and Harry jackson, is making prepare
tions for opening the season on August IL.
The play will be "Malne and Georgia" a
military comedy drama in four acts written
by Howard p. Taylor. Rehearsals will be-
gin in the opera house on August |, and it
will be presented to the public on the even
ings of the 18th, 18th and 18th. An or
cnestra consisting of seven pieces, and a
uniformed band of II pieces, will travel
with the company. All of the musical part
of the program will be under the direction
of John ?. Hanson, who for the past few
years has directed an orchstra playing in
one of the leading hotels at Atlantic City,
n. J. The scenery, much of which Is here
now, is being prepared under the supervi-
sion of Marcus Alvarez of Penn Van, y.

Lyceum company. W. L. Ford of the
Scala theatre, Chicago will act as electri-
clan. The following well-known profess
siona artists have also been engaged:

known as the "Three Blackberries," of
Kieths and Roster & Balls theatres; Maud
Norton, of the Heart of Maryland" COM

featuring centers Of Europe. Attempts
would he made to explode the great
powder works here and to destroy one
of Spain largest factories for making
small arms. 1t is defended by a dozen
powerful guns Of 10 and - inch cali
Der, hut could be readily approached by
heavy vessels. The fall Of Barcelona
would mean the ruin Of Spain Mcditer-
ranean commerce and loss almost as
serious as that of New York would be
to us.
Commodore John Crittenden Watson,
to whom has been intrusted the task Of
striking this body blow at Spain, NAV
be depended on to put lots of vim and
vigor into the affair His naval career
is fairly familiar to the American peo-
pie. When he arrives off the coast of
Spain, it will not be to play the part
of an artful dodger, as did Cervera. If
there are any Spanish warships ON the
lookout to receive him, they will have
no difficulty in discovering his location.
The captains who sail with Watson
are all fighters too. A finer set of COM
handing officers of the fighting ships of
lllt EASTERN stluuUIOn COulu not nave
been selected. Captain Robley Evans is
famous for his love of hostile action.
Captain c. Clark of the Oregon, who
brought that magnificent ironclad all
the way round to Key West from San
Francisco to augment Admiral Samp-
son S fleet, wanted to tackle Cervera's
Cape Verde squadron single handed and
was disappointed because he did not en-
counter the seven vessels of the enemy,
four of them armOrclads, on his race
up the South American coast.
Captain A. S. Barker of the Newark
is one of the quietest men in the navy,
but he knows how to handle a ship
splendidly and has reputation for
pluck, The Yankee, under Commander
W. H. Brownson, is manned by New
York naval militiamen Commander
Brownson is the man who took the De-
troit past two formidable Brazilian in
surgent armorclads and fired a shot
into one of them for attempting to stop
an American merchantmen from going
into Rio harbor,
Every man in the crew of every ship
is anxious to train gun on a Spanish
fort, and it is safe to say that when the
"stop firing" signal is finally hoisted
the Maine will have been remembered
