Gets Orders to Start for Newport News to
Join Grants Brigade.
Chickamauga Park, Ca, Aug. 3-The
Fifth Illinois infantry, which was here
tofore twice ordered to the front and as
many times ordered back into camp,
received final orders from the war de-
partment yesterday afternoon to pro-
coed to Newport News, there to report
to Brigaiier General Fred Grant for
embarkation with his brigade to Porto
Rico Colonel Culver, commanding this
regiment, naturally felt greatly re-
lieved, as did all of the officers and
men, and there was general rejoicing
In the regiment. This command left
Camp Thomas before daybreak this
morning, marching to the Ringgold sta
ton on the Western and Atlantic rail-
way. This Is the only regiment that re-
ceived moving orders yesterday. Gen
eral Breckenridge thinks the moving
orders henceforth will be on the basis
of representing all state proportionately
at the front.
But the recent INSTRUMENTATION in the
Fifth Illinois is not to go unnoticed ex-
cept by promotion, as it were. Colonel
Culver has announced that every non
commissioned officer who took part in
the demo rstration last week after the
regiment was recall ed viii be reduced to
ranks. This work to be commenced
at once and new men app inted in their
places. Colonel Culver says his regi-
rent has had a good reputation for
years ard he intends to sustain 1t. He
added: II have ordered all Of these
non-commissicned officers reduces d, that
is, those who were absent without leave,
I judge there were about a dozen of
them. The other men who are guilty
Of being absent without leave will be
fined by the field court"

cheerful acceptance of the government

THE chief object of the American
military forces will be to overthrow the

people of your beautiful island the larg-

this military occupation. They have not

oppressed; but on the contrary they
bring protection not only to yourselves
but to your property, promote your
prosperity and bestow the immunities

BANKRUPTCY LAW IN EFFECT.
Actual Operation, However, VIII BE De-
layed Till November.

Actual operation, however, Will DC De-
layed Till November.
Washington, Aug. Aug. was the
date set for the new bankruptcy law
to go into effect, but on account of an
oversight on the part of the trainers
of the law it is not expected there VII
be any important business under the
new law before Nov. l.
The law provides that the United
States supreme court shall frame rules
for proceedings in bankruptcy, but as
the supreme court had already ad-
journed when the measure was passed
and does not reassemble until October,
no rules, forms and orders for proceed
ure can be issued by the court until 1t
reconvenes. The law also provides that
petitions for voluntary bankruptcy
shall not be filed until after the ex-
piration of thirty days, and petitions
for involuntary bankruptcy until the
expiration Of four months so that there
will be little business done under the
new law until November.
The district courts, however, have
been empowered in case the necessity
arises before October to make their
own forms and rules of procedure,
which will have a binding force and
effect until the supreme court meets.
II is not expected, though, that the dis
trict courts will take such course to
any great extent, owing to the future
complications likely to arise.

that he is now caring for over 5000

the lack OF adequate preparation of the

TEXT OF THE TERMS OF PEACE
As Proposed by the Washington Govern
ment-Trouble In the Philippines.

As Proposed by the Washington Govern
ment-Trouble In the Philippines.
AS matter of record 1t may be we'll
to give the official statement of the
terms of peace offered to Spain, as an
nounced by the presidents order yester-
day, as follows:
1.-THE president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecunary in
demnity, but requires the relinquish-
ment Of all claims of sovereignty over
or title to the island of Cuba, as we'll
as the immediate evacuation by Spain
Of the island; the cession to the United
States and the immediate evacuation of
Porto Rico and other islands under
Spanish sovereignty in the West Indies;
and the like cession of an island in the
Ladrones. The United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and harbor
Of Manila, pending the conclusion of
treaty Of peace which shall determine
the control, dispos ton and government
Of the Philippines. If these terms are
accepted by Spain in their entirety,
commissioners will be named by the
United States to meet commissioners
on the part of Spain for the purpose
Of concluding a treaty of peace on the
basis above indicated"
The officials here make no conceal
ment of their apprehension of serious
trouble to follow the execution of our
programme in regard to the Philip
pines. The reports of the military and
naval commanders of late have con-
tanned warnings of expected conflicts
with the insurgents, and no surprise
will be felt at the receipt of news OF an
outbreak at almost any moment. The
United States government feels that it
has assumed a moral obligation towards
not only the foreign residents at Manila
but towards the unprotected classes of
the Spanish community-women, chill
dren, nuns and priests. Therefore when
intimetion came that the insurgents
were threatening the lives of some
helpless monks orders were sent to the
American military commander to look
into the matter and to act in the in
terest Of civilization and humanity.
Some reports which have been re-
ceived from Porto Rico, but which for
polite reasons cannot be made public,
have given great satisfaction to the Of
ficials Of the war department, since they
60 to show that the resistance which
can be made by the Spanish troops will
be very little, and it is even possible
that General Miles will achieve an al
most bloodiess victory. 1t has been
suggested with some plausibility that
the Madrid government, realizing the
impendency Of peace and the lack Of
loyalty towards the monarchy of the
mass OF Porto Kicans, has allowed the
Spanish garrison of the island to under
stand that they are not expected to
sacrifice their lives in useless resistance
to superior force. so that all that is to
be expected Is to be rather formal
opposition to the progress of General
Miles triumphal march across the ISL
and.
