premier SAGASTA'S CLAIM.
His Demand for Indemnify for Government
Property in Cuba and Porto Rico
Causes Talk in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Premier Sa-
dispatches, that Spain will expect
indemnity for all government prop
erty, buildings, barracks, fortifca-
tiOns, etc, in Cuba, Porto Rico and
elsewhere, has excited much comment
as showing the difficult questions to be
treated by the military and peace com
missions. In officials quarters here
there is no disposition to make a
counter claim to Sagasta's proposition,
for this will be done in due time
before the commissions and there is no
purpose to outline the governments
policy in advance. At the same time
ual opinion that Premier Sagasta'>
claim is very far-fetched, as it is
said to be the established rule of
international law that all public
property of sovereign govern
ment passes 10 the conqueror when
change of territory occurs. The
rule is equally well established that
private property undergoes no change.
The question is somewhat complicated
in the present case by the fact that
Cuba and Porto Rico are not acquired
strictly by conquest but rather by mu-
tual agreement In case of a conquest
no question could arise as to the pass
ing of all forts, barracks. reservations,
etc, along with the conquered terri
cory.

A MILITARY GOVERNMENT.
The Inhabitants of Manila Fear They Will
Be Restored to Spain-MOney in
the Spanish Treasury.

LONDON. Aug. 22.-The Manila cor.
respondent of the Daily Telegraph in
a dispatch dated Sunday says:
:'Gen. Merritt has proclaimed a gov
eminent of military occupation. The
news of the armistice arrived on the
10th. it is feared that the Americans
may restore the Philippines to Spain
and thus re-inaugurate a fresh pierod
of tyranny, eXtortion and rebellion.
The Spanish guarantees for freedom
of the press and religion and for just
administration are useless unless I'M
der foreign supervision.
THE Americans found $SOO,000 in
the Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion is loud in praise
of the action of the American COM
manders in excluding armed rebels
from the city. There is good reason
to believe that their firmness saved
Manila from pillage."

Hone KONG, Aug. 90. Officers of the

evident that the resistance
of the Spaniards when Manila
was attacked by the Americans was
merely nominal and was made solely to
maintain the honor of Spain. The

GATHERING AT FORT MONROE
Ever Assembled in an American Port
seventy Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O-One of the
largest fleets OF war ships ever assem-
bled in an American port will be
brought together within the next few
days at Fort Monroe. Already 81 war
ships are under orders to assemble
there, and the orders still to be issued
will raise the total to the neighbor-
hood of 20. Naval officials say it is
difficult to realize the extent of such a
marine aggregation in one harbor.
The orders began issuing last Mon
day when five ships were ordered to
Fort Monroe. On the 10th another
ship was added. On the 18th eight
more were sent, and on the 18th II
ships were added. Fridays orders in
clude IS more ships. Before the orders
began issuing there were eight war
ships at Fort Monroe, so that the total
up to Friday is 81.
The movement of these ships north
ward is due to the close of hostilities.
and more particularly to the desire to
| get the ships away from points of pos
sible fever infection. They will now
| be put in thorough repair, and their
crews will be gradually changed from
naval militiamen to sailors of the reg
ular navy.
The navy department has not yet de-
termined what ships will go to Ha-
vana, San Juan and other points of
Cuba and Porto Rito. There is felt to
be no hurry about this until the au-
thority of the United States is fully
established throughout the islands.
In the meantime the matter of polio
ing the shore points is being consid-
| cred and in due time a number of the
light draught auxiliary craft and some
Of the single turreted monitors will be
used for this coast patrol.
AS many naval vessels will be cen
tered about the West Indies from this
time forward, the navy department
will send the new floating dock, re-
Gently bought in M York, down the
coast to Pensacola, Fla, where it will
be kept for docking the war ships. Al
that point also there are good naval
workshops to be used in con junction
with the floating dock. The dock is
now being coppered, and will be toweC
to Pensacola as soon as the September
gales are over.

police boats formed in line. Then
came the Glen Island, and then the
battle ships began to slowly move up
the bay. There was d salvo of can
mons and the cheers Of people and the
toots of thousands of whistles made
an indescribable din.
Soon the monster pageant was in
line. First came Adm. Simpsons flag
ship New York. then Adm. Schley's
flagship Brooklyn, then the Massachu-
Texas, and after them a moving mass
of all sizes and descriptions, with flags
waving and people cheering. The
great battle ships moved slowly and
majestically. As Governors Island
was passed there was a tremendous
re port from the guns that did so much
eXecuti on at Guantanamo and Santi-
ago. The people on shore and afloat
went wild. They yelled and screamed
waved flags and jumped up and down
| in patriotic fervor
And so it was all the way up to
| Grants tomb, where there was final
| demonstration of patriotic ferver such
as New York has never witnessed be-
fore. The pageant was viewed and
cheered by hundreds of thousands of
| people. 1t was a magnificent scene
and one never to be forgotten.
Adm. Sampson, looking far better
than when war commenced, is very
glad to get home. Speaking of his
crews, and especially the crews of the
Indiana, Iowa and New York, who
have had no shore leave for seven
months, he said:
They have born their privations in
"a manner beyond all praise"
And summing up what has been one
of the most successful and important
naval campaigns in the history of the
world. Sampson says:
The navy has been fortunate. We
have. l think, made 40 mistakes"
How much Sampson contributed to
the success of the war, the efficiency of
his service and the splendid manner
he directed the largest fleet ever under
the command of one man in the his
tory of the United States. probably
will not be known or fully appreciated
until the history Of this war is writ
ten.
The health of the fleet is excellent.

diana. Iowa and New York especially.

The main battery Of each of the bat
tie ships will be composed Of four 70
inch rifles in turrets on the center line
fore and aft, similar to those of the
Iowa, and the secondary batteries
will mount from IA to 16 rapid
fire 6-inch guns In addition
to these there will be unusual
ly large auxiliary batteries OF
assorted FOUNDER sizes. both quick-fire
and sea-atomic. Thirteen-inch guns
of earlier battle ships have been put
aside in the new designs on account Of
their great weight and because it will
be necessary to increase materially the
length of the 12-inch caliber to meet
the requirement that smokeless pow
der exclusively be used hereafter IN
the navy.
The first class cruisers will be COW
cred with heavy armOr from bow to
stern and will be armed with four
eight-inch rifles in turrets and ten to
twelve six-inch rapid fires in br DAD
side. They are to be superior in every
way to any ships afoat in the world
to-day.
The second class cruisers, as at first
proposed, were to be of 5000 tons each
but the board added ZOO tons to them,
to be utilized wholly in coal carrying
capacity They will have two S-inch
guns and ten to twelve 5-inch rapid
fires. The details of the six smaller
vessels are rot yet determined upon,
as all the energies of the board were
first directed to the heavier vessels.
All the ships will be sheathed. They
will all have quadruple expansion en-
gincs and water tube boilers, and
with the exception of the smaller
craft, they will be equipped with un-
der water torpedo tubes
The smaller cruisers will have a
steaming radius of 13. 600 knots at a
ten-knot rate. The second class will
nearly approach this radius. The
first-clasS cruisers will be able to go
10000 knots, and minimum of 5000
knots is fixed for battle ships.
The board also took under advise
ment the construction of two troop
ships, each capable of transporting a
regiment of 1900 men, with officers,
arms, ammunition, equipment and
supplies 1t is proposed, if congress
turns over to the navy the re-
:sponsibility of transporting troops
according to the established usage
in England and other foreign mill
tary powers of great experience,
that model aimed vessels constructed
solely for the purpose of speedily and
comfortably carrying the military
forces shall be promptly built. 1t is
argued that such vessels will be lndis
pensable, not only in the Pacific foI
changing the garrisons at Hawaii and
Manila occasionally. but also for Porto
Rico and perhaps for Cuba.

discovered an Indian grave yard. A
large number of skeletons were found
and what is unusal, all were buried in
a standing position facing the east.
With each skele ton was buried coat
of armor. and psychologists believe,
is an indication that the skeletons
were those of warriors who fell in
battle. A similar graveyard was un-
earth not long since near Crawfords-
Vile.
