WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Maj. Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, In command CT the Sew
enth army corps at Jacksonville, was
in conference today with the president
and war department officials. He came
on a special telegraphic summons from
Secretary Alger. and 1t was with the
latter that he conferred for an hour
with the president
Gen. Lees experience as consul gen.
eral at Havana has given him great
Knowledge of Cubans, which will be
availed of by the administration 1t Is
generally expected he will head the
military commission which will adjust
affairs in Cuba, and also he has been
strongly urged for the governorship of
that island, when the negotiations of
the commission cease. On both these
points, however, Gen. Lee says he
knows nothing. He would not discuss
the reason for his hasty trip here, be-
yond saying that he had been talking
over matters in Cuba generally. He
added:
1.-The first work which will have to
be done in Cuba will be to make ar
rangements by which all the municipal
machinery can be put in operation in
all the towns and governmental ma
chinery throughout the island for dis
tricts. There will have to be milf

time as the people interested can or

terests OF Spaniards, Americans, Gu
bans and the people of other nationall-
ties now ON the island, or who may
hereafter come there"
is there any probability Of Spanish
interests suffering through the Gu
bans?"
'The Spanish property holders. mer-
chants and commercial Spaniards
would naturally unite with the other
inha bitants for the preservation Of the
rights Of the citizens, and I think they
will be able to support a. strong and
safe government. There are no peo-
pie more interested than they are in
preserving property and other rights.
The most difficult task will be the
organization of a preliminary form of
government, as later the island will
be very rapidly Americanized,
and all such questions will take care
Of themselves. AS to the probability
Of the Cubans attaining a stable gov
ernment I presume as soon as possible
date will be set apart for holding
elections for chief executive Of the
island and general legislative body,
to which all matters affecting the fut-
ure Of the island will be referred. This
body will probably adopt a constitu-
ton, and make the proper laws to put
in operation the political form Of gov
ernment. AS to the army occupation

HONG, KONG, Aug. 16.-It was ru-
mored here last night that Manila had
surrendered, but no news is obtainable
from the Spanish consul. Gov. Gen.
August refused to speak. The Ger
man consul was called upon and he in
formed the correspondent that the out
skirts of Manila were bombarded by
the Americans and the city surrender

proper, only the outskirts being bonn

was unknown to the German consul.

rifle violence, and accompanied by a
heavy fall Of hail, moved from north
east to southwest. Its worst work in
this vicinity was done near the farm
Of Joseph Hutchinson. The wind
struck the house, and lifting IT up
bodily drove 1t against the barn, which
Was close by, reducing both structures
to ruins. They were so completely tel
escoped that 1t was with great difficult
ty that the searching parties were able
to carry ON their work and recover
the bodies. The remains of Hutchin-
sen We're found first, and near him
was the body of his granddaughter.
Later the bodies of hts wife and the
two daughters were recovered.
Ebaa. whose body has been recover
ed and identified, is known to have
been with his wife and child when the
storm struck. No trace Of them has
yet been found. Searching parties are
looking for the mother and child, but
have not succeeded In finding any trace
of them. There Is very little hope that
they have escaped, and their continued
absence is taken as proof that they are
to be Included among the victims OF
the storm.
ADDITIONAL CASUALTIES.
Rumors of additional casualties are
abundant, stories placing the number
Of those missing and probably dead
all the way from ten to twenty-five,
but there is a great confusion or else
an entire lack Of names in these tales,
end the estimates are probably too
high. On the either hand there Is lit
tie doubt that there have been addl-
tional casualties, and that other bodies
will be found before the work Of the
searching parties is completed
At this time 1t is not possible to ac-
curately estimate the property loss,
and stories regarding this are almost
as conflicting as regarding the loss of
life. The damage, however, is very
heavy. The cyclone was not broad in
extent, but everything in its path suf-
fered, and in the zone of destruction
the loss Is almost complete. The traced
path OF the storm extends about fifty
miles, and it is known that the build
ings Of Carl Peterson, M. Kenyon, Mr..
Johnson, Mike Hunt, DR.. Bently,
Charles Burstry and many others were
completely destroyed. The Northwest
ern railroad track is torn up and Its
telegraph poles and snow fences are
down.
Immediate aid was given to the in

relief from the adjacent territory, and
the wounded were taken to Candy,

the most important point for a gar

PEACE COMMISSION TALK.
The personal of the peace commits
sion is still secret, but the discus
sion of it goes merrlly ON. 1t was said
today that the president was greatly
pleased because Senator Davis, Of Min
nesota, had finally consented to be-
come one of the commissioners who
will meet in Paris not later than Oct.
l to perfect and ratify a treaty OF
peace with Spain. It Is also stated
that the majority Of those who have
been invited by the president to sit
upon that commission have agreed to
DO so, and the belief is expressed that

tically settled that Ambassador Hay
will succeed to the premiership. An
noupcement Of the changes above tndi-
Gated is daily expected. There are also
indications that the question Of the
strength of the army will be decided
upon within a few days, and that the
government will then take up the ques-
tion Of the future of Cuba.

After the rough riders had all been
landed and started for the detention

get him to tell about his experiences,
but failed. He refused absolutely to
talk about his achievements, but glad
ly spoke of the work of his men. He
said they were all brave and went into
danger without hesitation. Mr.. Roose-
veit was asked about his reported
wounding and replied: 1.-The wound on

he was in the best health and looked

secret meeting was held tonight at the
palace between commanding officers Of
the American army and the Cuban

maintained, but it can be said with
good authority that Gen. Garcia was

able Is that the Cuban situation was
thoroughly reviewed, and that it was'
resolved to disband the Cuban army,
and the United States should pay the
men off. This involves the expenditure

LAST BATTLE AT SEA
TORPEDO BoAT CUSHING HAS THE
HONOR of 1T
Captured and DESTROYED Number
of Spanish Craft and Avenged the
Damage Done Her Sister Ship, the
Winslow, Upon Which Ensign
Bag1ey Was KiIied-rhrilIlng
Experiences.

KEY WEST, Fla, Aug. 15.-To the torpedo
boat Gushing, commanded by Lieut. Albert
Gieaves, will doubtless go the distinction of
having had the last naval engagement of the
Spanish American war. Had the peace rego-
tiations been protracted a little longer the
Gushing would unQuestionably have endel
the conflict by gloriously avenging its begin
ming, when Ensign Bagley and his four COM
rades Of the 'Winslow were killed at Cardenas.
At the very moment the orders for raising the
blockade reached the Gushing she was ok
ing In for the three Spanish gunboats which
had wrecked her sister boat, intent on sink.
Ing them or herself going down in the effort.
They were the Ligero, Alerta and Antonio
Lopez. A few days before the Cushing de-
stroyed six small sloops and a two-masted
schooner, the Triumpho of twenty-five tons.
On Friday the Gwyn and the Cush ng went
into the bay Of Matanzas and found few
sloops standing out all the other vessels
having scurrled back toward the town. The
Gwyn gave chase to one sloop, and, after
firing many shells, hove her to. The Cush-
ing was meanwhile chasing another vessel,
but the latter had too big lead, and, aban-
doning the pursuit, the Gushing went to the
Gwyn's assistance. The latter's prize had
six Spaniards on board and the two tor
pedo boats were about to tow her out when
the three Spanish gunboats which wrecked
the Winslow were seen getting under way A
good fight was promised, and to save time
the sloop was abandoned, the Spaniards ON
board of her showertng blessings on their
magnanimous captors. The decks of the tor
pedo boats were again cleared for action. and,
although the contest would have been an un-
equal one, the Spanish boats carrying strong
er batteries. all were ready for the daring
attempt when the auxiliary yacht Stranger
appeared with the news that peace had been
declared and the blockade raised and the
boats were ordered Immediately back to Key
West.

OBJECTED TO CUBAN FLAGS.
Sailors From the Texas and the
Winslow Tear Them Down,


NEW YORK, Aug. ia number Of
sailors from the battleship Texas and
the torpedo boat Winslow visited South
beach Saturday evening and tore down
the Cuban flags in the hotels and music
halls. The sailors enlisted the services
of a number of the Third New Jersey
volunteers, stationed at Fort Wads-
worth, and also a few men Of the Fifth
regular battery. The party numbered
about forty. They first entered mer-
ry go-round, owned by a man named
Vischer. Alternately about the pa
vilion were placed small American and
Cuban flags. Every Cuban flag if the
house was torn down. The large dane
ing pavilion of Albert Hergenhahn was
next entered. He had decorated his
walls and ceiling with American and
Cuban flags. The proprietor offered no
opposition and the Cuban flags came
down.
