THE JUNTA SATISFIED.
Anything That Mckinley Does
is All Right.

New York, Aug. 13.-The Times this
morning prints the following:
General Tomas Estrada Palma, dele
gate at large of the Cuban republic,
talking of the peace protocol and the
steps that would be taken by the Gu
ban government, said: THE first thing
to be done by the Cuban patriots in
America, after the blockade has been
raised will be to send relief to the
starving Cubans in the field. Money
that would otherwise have been spent
in purchasing guns and ammunition
win be spent in food and clothing for
the Cuban soldiers and their families.
This relief will be sent Immediately
with the consent of the American gov
eminent.
Another thing that will be looked
after will be to try and secure the re-
lease of those Cubans who have been
depOrted from Cuba and sent to the
Spanish penal settlements. We shall
urge that the Washington authorities
secure the release of these prisoners.
LAS far as the present government of
Cuba is concerned, the leading men of
that government, from President Masso
down, have implicit confidence in the
declaration that the United States gov
eminent went to war, not for the &C
QUESTION of Cuba, but to free the is
land for the Cubans. 1t may be that in
years to come the Cubans may of their
own VOlitiOn request this country to
annex Cuba, but that is not for the
present. Whether the present govern
ment of Cuba will be recognized now is
no matter. The Cubans do not wish to
embarrass the Washington authorities
and have no doubt that what is done
will be for the best.
1T may take several months for the
Spanish government to remove its sol
diers from the island. After the Span
ish soldiers have gone away, there
will be left only about 100000 Spaniards.
Many of these might renOunce alleg-
lance to the Spanish government. But,
assuming that there would remain 100,
600 Spaniards on the island, that is a
small number in comparison with the
!, 200 900 native Cubans. While the
Spanish troops are being removed, I
think that the United States govern
ment would be wise in consulting I'M
officially the wishes of the large native
population.
The American provisional govern
ment, which will no doubt be of a mil
itary character. can do much toward
Strengthening the gratitude the Cubans
already feel for the United States for
having freed them from the Spanish
yoke In what way the United States
should try to get the opinion of the
people of Cuba, whether by popular
election or otherwise, is one of the prob
lens which it will have to solve. But
no matter in what way the American
government goes about it, it will al
Wavs find the native Cubans not only
willing but anxious to help the Ameri-
cans in the solution of the problem"

FIGHT AT MANZANILLO
Is Reported But is Doubted at Wash

Chicago, Aug. ia special to the
Times-Herald from Washington, D. C.,
says:
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy
department has received a dispatch
notifying him that a naval force sent
by Admiral Sampson had appeared in
the harbor of Manzanillo and demanded
it's surrender
The commandant of the city declined
to comply with the demand and an
engagement took place, which is said
to have resulted VIGOROUSLY for the
Americans.
At the navy department it is said that
the only vessels at ManzanilIo are some
small blockading ships, which could not
have conducted the operations described
in the message received.
In view of the signing of the protocol
and the suspension of hostilities, every
effort was made by the authorities to
stop the fight at Manzanillo.
A dispatch sent by Adjutant General
Corbin to Santiago, directed General
Shafter to get into communication with
ManzaniIlO as soon as possible and in
form the naval commanders there that
hostilities were over.
A dispatch was also sent by the navy
department to Key West to be for
warded to Manzanillo, and it can be
confidently stated that General BlancO
has telegraphed to the Spanish COM
mander at Manzanillo.
