Hay WILL SUCCEED DAY
Secretary of State Wants to Wear the
Ermine

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-It seems to be
settled that Ambassador Hay is to succeed
Secretary Day when the latter becomes
chairman of the peace commission. The
authority for this statement is unofficial,
but from source which shows that such
is the determination Of the President at
present. The indications are that Secretary
Days resignation from the State Depart
ment will be In and accepted within a
week. 1t is understood that the President
contemplates the appointment of Secretary
Day to circuit judgeship after the work
Of the commission is completed. A bill Is
pending in Congress for the appointment
Of an additional judge for the Sixth Circuit,
which includes Michigan, Ohio and Ken
lucky. The district is so large that 1t over
taxes one judge and it Is understood that
the Judge will be authorized soon after the
meeting of Congress and that the new posi-
ton Is to go to Judge Day 1t is said,
though. to be possible that Judge Taft, the
present Judge Of the circuit. may retire and
that In that event Mr.. Day will be appoint
ed without waiting for action by Congress.

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Captured Spanish Ports Will Be Gov
erned by the Military

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-It Is probable
that conquered stations like Porto Rico and
Manila will remain under military govern
ment until Congress can act. 1t is believed
that the military commissioners which are
to be appointed within ten days will make
such recommendation to the President
In fact. 1t is pointed out that little else can
be done for Porto Rico, and Manila off,
cially should be governed for the present
by the War Department and military COM
mander. AS to Cuba, 1t is quite likely that
30 far as the United States authority Is ex-
tended or averted 1t will be through the
Secretary Of War and the officers in Cuba
under his direction. Consideration is be-
ing given to the appointment of the mill
terry commissioners, and many of the prom
ihent commanders of the army have been
mentioned.

THE AFTERMATH
Many Puzzling Questions to Be Settled
by the Officials

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-The War De-
partment is seriously considering the set
Element of the questions growing out of
the Spanish war. The disposition of the
troops, the number to be retained and
what troops to muster out of service, is
one of the questions that Is giving the de-
partment considerable concern The Presi-
dent has discussed this matter with Sec
rotary Alger and General Corbin, and after
going over the various phases of the situa-
ton. has ordered them to think over all
the questions and recommend what is
found to be best in their judgment. The
army probably will be reduced to 100, 900
men, and the other volunteer troops aside
from this number will be mustered out as
soon as the department can conveniently
do SO. 1t is believed at the department
that now that there Is no more fighting
to do the volunteer troops will be anxious
to retire from service and get back to their
various avocations. The large force is a
great drain upon the country not only in
the matter Of pay and subsistence of the
army. but on account of so many men
being away from their various employ
ments. 1t is believed that 100, 900 will be
sufficient to garrison the various places
occupied by the United States
The War Department has also considered
the matter Of taking care of the Spanish
soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico if they
shall be found in want. These soldiers are
in a sense prisoners of war. and while the
United States government is not bound to
care for them under the terms Of the pro-
tocol, yet in the cause of humanity, neither
Spaniards nor Cubans will be allowed to 10
without food. In case 1t is found neces-
sary to furnish supplies TO the Spanish
soldiers, the Spanish government would
be expected to reimburse this government
for its outlay.

FED THEM HORSE MEAT

THE YANKEE PIGS ARE DUPED
All the Worn Out Cavalry Horses Sold
as Steaks and Chops at Fancy
prices-A Cuban Postoffice


SANTIAGO, July 2e.-(Copyrighteds 1Sss,
by the Associated Press) There are two
ways OF looking at the value of horseflesh
here since the American occupation. Alive
and kicking, as horsefiesh, pure and SIM
pie, it is dirt cheap. You can buy an ami
NAL for IS gold piece, with all the trap
pings thrown In. Dead, as a meat at so
much pound in The market, 1t comes high
in more ways than one. The reasons for
the discrepancy in values between live
and a dead horse are more than obvious.
Gen. Skaters report says that on July "A
145 horses were turned over by Gen. Toral
as the sum total OF the Spanish cavalry
under his command. 1t is well known that
1000 is nearer the number that should have
been turned over.
When Santiago surrendered, on July II,
u0O0 Spaniards stood in urgent need-frst,

ttlians bethought themselves of an ingen-
Gus plan for satisfying their lust for flesh
ana gold. They knew our boys enjoy a
repaSt OF fresh meat and would be glad to
pay almost any price for it. SO goodly
number OF sinewy chargers and tough old
war horses were put to the sword and dis
tr1buted at fancy prices to the inns and
chophouses Of the district for the especial
beneflt Of the Americans.
For time this horsefiesh brought ex-
ceilent prices; but, after many equine
steaks had been served. devoured and paid
for, the American troops gradually began
TO realize what they were eating and would
have no more OF 1t. A slump in the market
