MeSsrs. OverStreet and Crumpaclxer
Opposed to Recognition.


Opposed to Recognition.
WASHINGTON, April Isl am opposed
to the recognition of the so-called Cuban
republic" said Representative Overstreet
of Indiana, land am consequently opposed
to concurring in the Senate amendments so
far as they relate to such recognition. In
the first place, that republic is mere skel-
eton and by the very terms of its own con-
stitution dissolution is provided for when
peace is declared. 1t contains provisions
which are wholly inconsistent with constitu-
tional functions of civilized countries and
should not be approved by our recognition
By recognition of an independent sover-
eighty of the island of Cuba the direction
of the operations of our army and navy
would necessarily fall to the dictation of
that sovereignty so far as we should enter
Cuban waters with our vessels or Cuban
territory with our army. Furthermore the
recognition of an independent nation is ex-
clusively an executive function. The adop-
ton of either the Senate or House resolu-
lions without such recognition amounts to
the same thing, viz. Cuban independence and
revenge for the destruction of the Maine.
| am of the opinion that the Senate will re-
cede from it's recognition amendment and
that the two houses will speedily agree
the phraseology of resolution so as to give
authority and direction to the President for
immediate armed intervention"
Personally l am in favor of the Senate
resolution with but one exception" said
Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana. Il
cannot accept the Turpie amendment. /
have not a shadow of doubt that in passing
the resolution Congress usurps presden-
tial prerogative. To my mind the right to
recognize nation clearly belongs to the
President and not to Congress, and l, for
one, am unwilling to be a party to any
usurpation of the Presidents rights"

London, August Is.-The Mad
rid correspondent of the Daily Mail
says:
"The comments of the press on
the protocol are veritable funeral
HYMN on the destruction of the
Spanish colonial empire. Some days
ago the desire for peace made the
people close their eyes to the price
but now, upon reading the proto-
col, they realize that the cost is the
loss of that empire, which Spain
had conquered with so much glory
and that Spain now falls to the
second rank among nations. The
public mind is stunned and
there Is general mourning
General Blanche telegraphs that
Havana is greatly agitated by the
news of the signing Of the protocol
and that much anxiety is mani
tested to learn the conditions, which
have not yet been published. Some
uneasiness is felt regarding the
effect that the text of the protocol
may have on the Spanish volunt
teers in Havana.
Many newspapers express griei
and despair that the men who
brought disaster on Spain by lack
of foresight, organization and
ability, should continue to govern
the country"

KEENDISAPPOINTMENT
Manifest ed in Madrid Over the PubIf-
cation of the ePrOtOcOl-LOss OfPhilip.
pines-The Last Straw.

Madrid, August IS, 4 a. m.-
The city was patrolled by police
last night but perfect tranquility
prevails. The publication Of the
protocol produced keen disappoint-
ment so far as it refers to the Phil
ippines, where it had been hoped
Spain would preserve her SOW
ereignty intact. Clause III of the
protocol dispels this allusion.
Echoing public feeling, the in
dependent and opposition papers
bitterly criticise the clause as at
fording pretext for curtailing Span
ish sovereignty in the archipelago
where control or interference of a
foreign power would make the
natives ungovernable.
Ell Heraldo wants to know how
America proposes to make the
Cuban and Philippine insurgents
submit to suspension of hostilitses
and keep them in leash until evac-
uation of the islands by the Span
iards is completed.
FL Nacional says: eve would
rather lose the Philippines alto
gether than submit to American
tutelage.'
The other papers discuss the
probability of the abolition of the
colonial Office, declaring that the
total loss of the Philippines would
be"preferable to American partner
ship or control"
All the adversaries OF the present
cabinet find fault with the protocol
because the fifth clause allows until
October for the meeting OF the
peace commissioners and stipulates
that when a definite treaty is con-
cluded it shall be ratified according
to the constitutional rules of each
country, thus affording Sagasta
with a plausible pretext for ad-
iourning the convocation OF the
cortes until he had a treaty of peace
to put before them.
Public opinion attaches great i'm
portance to the Spanish commission
in Paris making resolute stand in
defense OF Spain's territorial rights
in the Philippines. The govern
ment therefore wants to send a

the party OF outlaws who committed
the daring robbery at that place
yesterday morning are still at large.
The authorities are hard at work

mitted the deed. As soon as they
have sufficient proof arrests will be
made.
Mrs. Homer is still living and

her condition Is yet precarious.

Public sentiment has been agitated

low the arrest of the criminals. 1t

was committed by foreign people
and not by those who are, or were

ORDERS TO COMMANDERS.
AS soon as the protocol was

taries Alger and Long and General
Corbin, and by his direction orders
to cease hostilities forthwith were
sent to Generals Miles, Merritt,
Shafter, to Admirals Dewey, Samp-
son and military commanders gen
orally.
The order sent to General Mer-
ritt to suspend hostilities was as
follows:
Adiutant Generals Office, Wash
ington, August II, 1898.
Merritt, Manila:
The President directs that all
military operations against the en-
eny be suspended. Peace negotia'
tions' are nearing com oletion, pro-
tocol having just been signed by
representatives of the two coun-
tries. You will inform the com
manders of the Spanish forces in

tons, Further orders will follow

The order sent to General Miles
and General Shafter were 1dentlcal
with the above save as to names.
As the order states, further in,
structions will be sent to each gen
eral. General Merritt will be dl'
rected to confer with the Spanish
commandment at Manila to carry
out the terms of the protocol, and
to occupy Manila Immediately.
General Miles will put himself in
communication with the chief au'
thority in Porto Rico for the pur-
pose of having Spanish forces turn
over San Juan and other points to
nim preparatory to evacuation.
Owing 10 conditions in Cuba, the
orders to General Shafter to be sent
hereafter will be much different
from those to other generals.
The navy department has also or,
dered all commanders to cease hos,
tilities on lines similar to the war
department order.
