LARGE FORGE FOR POLICING
ATTITUDE OF AGUTNALDo AN
 UNCERTAIN QUANTITY.
Possibly News of Decisive Engage ment Will Be Received From General Merritt Be-
 fore Long.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: It is considered that no less than 10000 men will be needed to properly garrison the Philippine Islands and I am informed the orders from Secretary Alger to General Merriam to hurry additional troops to Manila look rather to com pleting the expedition as an adequate military force than to any new move ment
 There was no surprise expressed that advices did not come from General Merritt to-day, as the cable station is HOO miles from his base of operations and he would not consider 1t practica- ble to send dispatch boats so frequent ly. It was recognized that the recent engagement was but an incident to General Merritt's extended investment of the ctiy. It is by no means certain though there l. some talk to the effect that General Merritt has been instruct ed not to take the city. 1 am informed that even had Admiral Dewey taken the city he would have been unable to properly police 1t with its diSorderly population of 300, 900 inhabitants. To do this the presence of an army would be needed and it is felt the next news from General Merritt may give an ac- count of a decisive engagement.
 There is another theory here. how ever. as to why the order went from Secretary Alger hurrying forward troops-namely. that the element of Aguinaldo and the insurgents was as vet an uncertain one, and the presence of more troops in case of the occupa- ton of Manila or otherwise would be r1oGt timely

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The Wash :.>fngtorl. correspondent of the Herald ;: .4elegraphs the following: Spain's re- .:F5iy. has beer construed by the admin ~:istration to be a definite acceptance of
 fhe terms proposed by the President. These terms have been put in to the
 form of a protocol. This protocol was
 today placed in the hands of Embas- :' sador Cambon, who cabled it to Mad rid.' He expects to receive authority :.fr6rn the Spanish GoXernment to for .InalIy accept and sign it in behalf Of that Government.
 - Secretary Day expects Ambassador *1iambon to receive full authority from Madrid tomorrow to sign the protocol and in that event 1t will be signed
 without delay Possibilities between the Limited States and Spain will cease just as soon as the naval and military com :: :.:rlanders of the two governments in
 the West Indies and the Philippines
 can be notified.
 The protocol, as drawn up, is an elao- ,oratior of the terms printed this morn
 irig. It does not name the dates 1oF
 fhe evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico by Spanish troops This is a de- tail which is to be left to be arranged
 by military commanders of the United States and Spain.
 :: There is a perfect understanding be-
 tween Secretary Day and Ambassador . Cambon, however, that the evacuation is to begin as soon as possible and to
 continue as rapidly as Spanish troops :ic3n be transported from the island and their places taken by American forces Care is to be taken that there shall be no interim between the withdrawal of Spanish troops from any point and oc- =.rupation by American forces. Pending the question of the future .-government of Cuba affairs throughout tine entire island will be administered Inv. military authorities of the United States, just as is now being done in Santiago.
 Spain is to be allowed to evacuate the islands of Cuba and Porto Rico with all =: the honors of war, her troops taking with them. their arms and equipments. - Secretary Day, it can be said posi- ..tiveiv, will be one of the peace comnis- :-::sionerS. There are the best reasons for
 :: believing other members of the com .. mission will be Senators Allison of Iowa. German of Maryland, Justice = Brown of the Supreme Court of the " Tjjnfted States and either Ambassador
 Hay or Ambassador Porter. Spain. it :: is believed, will be represented on the id4rnTp id4r IF mission by her Minister of Foreign Affairs and her Ambassadors at Lon :: don. and Paris, who participated in the :. ..Iiegotiations, and by other men who :: have had experience as diplomats The :: President hopes the commission will be: able to complete it's work by No- -xenTber L If this result is reached an
 extra. session of the Senate will be =: ca4Iled to meet probably immediately a ftar: the Congressional elections, so as .:.fo have the treaty ratified with the : least possible delay.

ALL TROOPS NOW HERE
 WILL GO TO MANILA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-General Merritt's force in the Philippines is to be increased by the 1000 troops now at San Francisco, which will be sent as soon as transports can be obtained. Secretary Alger said to-day that 2OOO troops would sail at once. The depart ment has not sufficient transports at hand to convey the remaining 5000 at present. but the Secretary says that with those already arrived and on the sea. together with the 2000 which are to leave San Francisco at once, Gen. eral Merritt will have a force of 1S,00O and theres will be no hurry for the em- barkation of the remaining troops The department has had an offer of two ships to transport the troops, but con- sidered the price asked excessive. and it is probable the return of the trans ports that first went to Manila will be awaited.
 The Secretary to-day cabled General Merritt asking him when 1t was ex- pected the transports would return to San Francisco. If they are likely to reach that point within three weeks their return will be awaited. as it will take at least that length of time to get new transports III readiness to carry troops.

THERE. MAY BE DELAY :. IT,. OF A DAY OR TWO

:: :: :.WAsHINGToN, Aug. 1O.-The pre- :. nilfndry negotiations looking toward the confrpation of peace advanced a long step to-day when the Secretary Of State and the French Ambassador :. agreed upon the terms upon which fu- :. # llre: negotiations for treaty are to be

protocol made binding upon both the United States and Spain by the at tachment of the signatures of the plen- ipotentiaries, Secretary Day for the United States and Nj. Cambon for Spain. The delay will be largely at tributable to physical causes.
 It is believed that the protocol car ries within Itself provisions for the cessation of hostilities. On this point the naval contingent is urgent that our Government adopt the Napoleonic policy of refusing to enter into an ar mistice without acquiring some sub stantiaI pledge to secure the consumma- tion of peace. What they particularly desire is that our Government shall demand as a condition of the cessation of hostilities the surrender to the United States military forces of Morro Castle at the entrance of Havana har- bor and some such points of vantage at the other important ports in the terri tory soon to fall under our control.

 CAMP DEWEY, Aug. 3 (via Hong kong, Aug. 9).-The attempts to secure the surrender of Manila without fur ther bloodshed by the intervention Of the church has failed.

Several engagements made by the Consul to carry the party across the bay in launch were not kept. Finally the Consul intimated that he would meet the fathers on the Malate lines showing the Belgian flag, to indicate where to cross The priests kept the appointment, going to the front under a heavy fire. but no flag was shown. This closed the incident. Manila is now left to it's fate.
