Congress will be In session another

prediction mny prove TO bo true,
Senator Chiffon on the other hand
says he does not see why adjournment

given out that the senate will decline TO

Duke Almo6ovar said he would not

WASHINGTON, Aug. SS.-The most
important ching before the cabinet
meeting to-day was the instructions to
be given to the Cuban and Porto Rican
military commission. A set Of tnstruc-
tlons in each case had been prepared
and were read at the melting. but as they
were found not TO conform in several
particulars to the Views of the cabinet,
they will be recast on somewhat differ
ent lines within the next two or three
days and presented TO the President for
his approval
It il said that these instructions Will
deal almost entirely with matters Of de-
tall. The commissioners will be charged
with providing troops for the occupation
OF cities and towns as rapidly as the
Spanish forces are withdrawn; the col
lection Of the customs and other reve-
nues and the maintenance Of peace;they
win receive the arms and other public
property surrendered by the spanIards
and exercise all of the functions Of
government over the surrendered terri
tory until such time as the President
shall otherwise direct.
It is believed that the commissioners
to both Cuba and Porto Rico will be
ready to sail for their posts Of duty
within the next few days

what Americans have done for US, we
are desIrous of dIsproving the charges
that have been brought against us as a
people. Personally, I must say that
General shafter has always treated me
with the greatest courtesy. His mIsun-
derstandlng with General Garcia was
occaeloned by the fact that specified
promises had been made to the latter
which General shatter either would not
