Headquarters of Gen. Wilson at
Coamo, August l7.-Gen. Wilson Satur-
day morning sent a party with a flag
of truce to notify the Spaniards of the
suspension Of hostilties, but the flag
was not respected. This was by or
der of Governor General Macias. AS
Gen. Macias has no communication
with Mauld, he may thus cut himself
off from official notification of the sit
uation, although natives have been
sent through the Spanish lines TO
spread the news that a cessation OF
hostilities has been ordered.

TROOPS FROM HAWAII
BROUGHT BACK ON STEAMSHIP
AUSTRALIA
Sick Soldiers All Recover Under the
Influence of the Voyage and the
Prospect of Reaching Home

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-The steam
ship Australia arrived in port today from
Honolulu with $40 officers and men OF the
New York regiment.
The returning soldiers consisted of com
panies A. c, d, | and l., and were under
command of Col Barber, who was accom-
panied by his staff.
The New Workers, with few exceptions,
were in splendid condition and the sea voy-
age of seven days had worked wonders with
them.
When the Australia arrived at her dock
military discipline was enforced and guards
were posted Many friends of the returning
soldiers were on hand to receive them, and
Col. Barber allowed his men half an hour
freedom on the dock
When the bells sounded the assembly
the men fell into line and, headed by the
band, started on the march to the Preside,
where they are now encamped.
Only four cases of sickness were on board,
one of typhoid and three suspects. Out OF
the full strength of the regiment, 1900 oftic-
ers and men. it has suffered a loss of thir-
teen in the ranks from various causes.
The balance of the regiment will arrive
next week on the Alameda and the COM
bined companies will go on to New York
to be mustered out. Some OF the officers
and men are eager to remain in the service.
but the majority of the regiment favor a
return to the civil walks of life.

The KAISfR'S MESSAGE
ON OPENING OF THE GERMAN
REICHSTAG
WILLIAMS ONE GREAT OBJECT
Is to Maintain the Peace in Europe
and Get a Meat Inspection
Bill Passed
Associated Press Special Wire'

BERLIN, Dee 6.-The Rechstag was
opened today by Emperor William, who,
after announcing the introduction OF Sc
ries of social and labor bills, and the COM
| pletion of the organization of the army,
said that Germany's relations with all the
| foreign powers continued to be friendly
and that the principal object of his policy
would be to contribute to the maintenance
of peace. Therefore, his majesty hailed
with warm approval the Cars magnani-
| nous proposal for the turtherance OF that
object.
Continuing, the Emperor referred to the
assassination of the Empress OF Austria as
a savage and ruthless act, which caused HIM
deep pain and which had evoked the most
sincere sympathy throughout Germany.
| Abiding to the anti-anarchist conference
at Rome, the Emperor said the readiness
with which the invitation had been accepted
| by the powers, justified the hope that its
deliberations would have practical results.
| Abiding to the war between Spain and the
United States, his majesty said Germany s
neutrality was eonscientously and Loyalty
observed toward both beligerents.
There was a special passage devoted to the
inspection of meat, on which subject his
majesty said:
III tldGl W uNtlt tlS udHSVlS INV Wv GU III
| the traffic OF unexamned meat intended
for humans, whether of home or foreign
origin, the question of the general introduc.
| ton of system OF inspection for slaughter
houses and meat is being considered. The
federal governments bill regulating the sub
lect will. hope. occupy your attention dur
ing the present session."
Then, taking up Colonial affairs, Emperor
! William pointed out the measures taken for
the economic development of Kioo Chou,
declaring that while conscientiously respect
ing the well-acquired rights of third parties,
the German Government would direct its
efforts to further promotion of its economic
relations with China, which are yearly
growing more complete. The Emperor con
cluded with a reference to his visit to Pal.
estine, saying he hoped the brilliant recep.
ton accorded him by the Sultan and the
Turkish people everywhere would prove to
he of permanent benefit to German prestige
and the national interests of Germany.

reciprocity scheme of the Dingley law, for
which Senior Dupuy de LONE was negotiat-
ing in Washington when the war broke out.
There are still under discussion eight sec
ondary subjects which the Spanish com
missioners preached last week, including the
status of patents and copyrights. The
American commissioners today handed to
Senior Montero Rios written reply cover
ing these questions. There will probably be
no joint session tomorrow as the Spaniards
desire time to consider this document.
The peace commissioners met in Joint ses-
sion at o'clock this afternoon. When the
commissioners emerged from the foreign
office this evening, after their long session,
Judge Day announced that all requests had
been settled and that the treaty would be
signed in three or four days. The work re-
manning consists largely in drafting into
language the conclusions reached.

ONE NEED OF THE NAVY
Is AN ADEQUATE SUPPLY OF
FRESH WATER
Another Is a Force of Men Competent
to Build and Care for Electrical
Apparatus

WASHINGTON. Dec. Gan account OF
how the navy was equipped for the emer-
gency created by the war is contained IN the
annual report OF Capt. Il. b. Bradford, chief
of the bureau of equipment, navy depart
ment.
One lesson of the war which was OF use
to every navy in the world was a demon
stration that in future fresh water for boil
ers must be constantly supplied TO the fleet
in transports. Just as coal Is carried. WITH
the exception OF the Oregon, the distlIlng
plants aboard cur warships, which were sup
posed to be sufficient to supply the loss IN
evaporation to the boilers proved to be in
adequate 1t was more difficulty to supply
fresh water to ships at Key West than to
supply coal The boilers of the ships on
blockade before Santiago were much in
jured for the want OF fresh water and gave
the commander much concern.
During the war the bureau paid at one
time $2,067. 80 for 100000 gallons of fresh
water at Tompkinsvile, n. Y, for the st.
Paul and profata for the other ships. Had
this water been drawn from the Brooklyn
mains and transported to the ship in water
boats it would have cost only S4325. 10
remedy this evil, the bureau is procuring a
water barge for each naval station and Is
erecting diStilling plants where necessary.
1t has also procured a tank ship to carry
water in bulk,
The equipment bureau bought nearly hall
a million tons OF coal during the year, at the
rate of SAG per ton. The year before only
l3S,3lS tons were bought at cost of 81 IS
per ton.
Capt. Bradford regards with much CON
Germ the constantly increasing demands for
repairs and renewals for electrical outfits
and supplies of ships. With the notable ex-
ception of Dewey's fleet and the Oregon, the
experience of our warships seems to indicate
that they cannot long be sef-sustainng
without docbyard and electrical work The
number OF officers who are familiar with
electrical engineering seems to he decreas-
ing rather than increasing. 1t is earnestly
recommended that special corps OF men
be provided to care for the electrical plants
Capt. Bradford says that as a monopoly
practically controls the most important
electrical supplies with the usual high
prices, he considers it advisable to erect in
New York navy yard, Tor the purpose of
overcoming this evil, sufficient appliances
fol the manufacture of the articles now
purchased.
The result of the homng pigeons service
has not been SO satisfactory as expected,
especially near the seat Of war at Key West,
yet Capt Bradford says this may have been
due to the climate and the want of an ey-
perenced man to care for the birds; 50 he
recommends a further trial OF the system.
