THE TITLE TO MANILA.
1t Is Not by the Protocol; but by Virtue

1t Is Not by the Protocol; but by Virtue of
It's Capture, That the City Is Held.
Now that the surrender of Manila
is officially reported, it can be stated
that the city is being held by virtue of
the military occupation and surrender,
and not by virtue of the protocol.
According to Admiral Dewey's dis
patch the surrender occurred about 5
p. m. last Saturday. The peace pro-
tocol was signed at 4.23 p. m. Friday.
1t is said that the difference in time
between Manila and Washington is
such that the surrender, reckoned on
Washington time, would be about II
hours ahead of the time at Manila, or
about S a. m. Saturday morning. In
point of actual time, therefore, the
signing of the peace protocol preceded
the actual surrender of Manila by a
few hours. But it is well established
rule of military law, accepted the
world over, that peace armistice or
cessation of hostilities does not become
binding upon commanding officers un-
til they receive actual notice of it.
Under this rule Admiral Dewey and
General Merritt would be bound by
the armistice from the time the notice
of it reached them at Manila. This
could not have occurred on Saturday
prior to the bombardment, as the cable
was not working and no dispatch boat
could have gotten through with the
notice before Monday or Tuesday.

into view, fully 1000 strong followed
by insurgents who had eluded General
MacArthur's troops, and now opened
fire for brief period. The situation
was awkward, if not critical, both
sides being slightly suspicious of
treachery. The Spanish troops lining
the citadel ramparts, observing the
insurgents action, opened fire on the
Californians, killing one and wound
ing three. The confusion, however,
sooned ceased by the advance of the
retreating Spaniards to the Esplande,
when General Green ordered them to
enter the citadel.
"Soon letter was brought from the
captain general requesting the COM
mander of the troops to meet him for
consultation.

with Adjutant General Bates. Mean
while, according to arrangement, the
moment the white flag was shown,

Let US see what the dictionary has

Protocol, a la Webster:
"G). The original copy of any writ

instrument. (2.) The minutes, or

ment upon the basis of which negotla-

not formally ratified. An agreement
of diplomatists indicating the result
reached by them at particular stage
of a negotiations.
The Standard Dictionary says of the
word:
"Q.) The preliminary sketch or draft
of treaty, dispatch or other official
document. (2) A diplomatic document,
minute or agreement containing the
official record, or embodying the re-
suits of negotiation a declaration
or memorandum of agreement less SOL
emn or formal than treaty; also
