MERRITT'S
 FIRST ACT Will Be to Open Manila to Commerce.. THEN COMES THE TARIFFS REVENUES TO BE COLLECTED BY AN EXPERT. These Receipts Will Not Be Turned Into the Treasury but Will Be Chased as a Military
 Contribution.
REVENUES TO BE COLLECTED
 BY AN EXPERT.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 9.-A Washington special to the Herald says: One of Ma jor General Merritt's first official acts as military governor of the Philippines after the city of Manila is firmly in possession of the United States forces will be to declare that port open to commerce.
 When this is done President McKin- ley will make public the schedules which have been prepared fixing tariff duties that must be paid on goods inn ported into the islands. These sched- ules have been prepared by the Treas ury Department and are now in the possession of the President, but they will not be made public until the time for putting them into effect. Revenues will be collected by customs expert sent out by the Treasury Department, who will act under the directions of General Merritt As long as the cus- toms are collected under direction of the military governor they will not be turned into the treasury as part of the ordinary customs receipts of the coun- try, but will be accounted as mill tary contribution
 The tariff schedule for the Philippines will not follow closely the United States tariff rates in the Dingley law, but are based on rates that Spain had in force, with such notifications as seem de- sirable.
 It is expected that the port of Ma nila will be the first one at which the new tariff will be put into operation, but 1t will be extended to such other ports in the islands as General Merritt may open from time to time, and also to the Ladrone Islands, which will be under the Jurisdiction of General Mer- ritt as will also the Carolines, if they are taken from Spain before that coun- try sues for peace. If the islands are permanently held by the United States the decision as to what revenue and other laws are to be enforced will rest with Congress.

QUARTERS FOR THE
 SPANISH PRISONERS
Eight Buildings Hurriedly Erected to Receive Them at Sea-
 yeys Islands.

WASHINGTON, July s.-It was ex- pected that the Spanish prisoners of war would arrive at Portsmouth, N. H., this morning on the steamer St. Louis. Captain Crowinshield, chief of the Navigation Bureau, has just re- turned to Washington, having pre- pared quarters for the enlisted men and non- commissioned officers. Being given carte blanche by the Secretary of the Navy this officer succeeded in hav- ing erected in forty-eight hours eight buildings 100 feet long by IS feet broad for the accommodation of the prisoners. The site is at Seaveys Isl- and in Portsmouth harbor, where 1t will be easy to conf1ne them within bounds.
 The Spanish officers will not be land ed at Portsmouth, but will remain aboard the St. Louis and be taken to Annapolis On the St. Louis there are forty Spanish officers and 800 men.

PLUCKY WORK
 OF THE HAW K Alone Pursued the Big
 Alfonso XIII. BOAT CREWS ADVENTURE ROWS ALMOST TO THE VESSEL AFTER IT IS GROUNDED. Made the Target for Storm of Bull lets, but Escapes Without
 Man Having Been
 Hit.
BOAT CREWS ADVENTURE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

KEY WEST, July 9.-There is now little doubt that the Spanish steamer destroyed by the Hawk, Prairie and Castine at Mariel on Wednesday last was the transatlantic liner Alfonso XIII of nearly 5000 tons.
 Although the American ships were unable to approach close enough to clearly establish her identity, on &C., count of the brisk fire from the steamer and shore batteries, her appearance corresponded almost exactly with the description of the Alfonso XIII given in Lloyds.
 The destruction of the ship was 8 daring piece of work. The credit does not all belong to the Prairie, whose big guns finally encompassed the Span iard's ruin and left her mass of blaz- ing, burning wreckage on the beach. 1 The work of the little converted yacht Hawk was heroic to a degree. It was she who first discovered the enemy and alone gave chase, running back a short distance when the Spaniards drew in under the Mariel batteries and close to the two Spanish gunboats lying in the harbor.
 Before seeking aid, however, the Hawk lowered small boat, manned by Ensign Schofield and a crew of six men. In the bright light of the tropi- cal moon they pulled boldly to within a ships length of the Spaniard after she had gone aground, their mission be- ing to learn her name. From the time they left the Hawk until their return the small boat and her crew made a brilliant target for the machine guns and small arms aboard the steamer and an incessant fire was directed at them.
 Nothing daunted they drew close enough to hear spoken orders on the enemys deck. Shots were flying all around them, but none struck them and they were eventually compelled to re- turn to their ship without having full filled their purpose.
 The fire, not only from the Spaniards, but also from the Mariel tower, a sand battery and Spanish gunboats, con- tinued until the Castine and Prairie came up and silenced them and de- stroyed the Alfonso XIII.

MIssIssIPPps NEW SENATOR.

William Van Amberg Sullivan of Ox- ford, at present representing the Second District in Congress. who was appointed by Governor McLaurin as United States Senator to succeed the late Edward c. Walthall, will be one of the youngest members in the upper house of the Ma tional Legislature, being aged only a few months over 40. He is a native of the State, and has always been active in poli- tics, but has been averse to holding office himself, having accepted the nomination for Congress in 1896 only in order to break a deadlock which had continued for sev- eral days. He Is lawyer of marked abil- ity, and as a stump speaker has gained many admirers. His selection as Senator, while practically unexpected has been received with general satisfaction.
 MT. Sullivan was born near Winona, December IS, 1S57 After attending a coun- try school he went to the University of Mississippi, and later to Vanderbilt Uni versity. being graduated from the latter institution in 1875. Turning to the law, he began practice at Austin, but in 1878 he moved to Oxford, where he has since sided. Twice his district has sent him as delegate to the Democratic National convention; the first time in 1892, and again In 1896. When Bryan was nominat- ed at Chicago MT Sullivan, at the soHcita-

ASKS HIS PEOPLE
 TO GIVE THANKS
Archbishop Ireland Issues an Ad- dress in Accordance With Nc
 Kinley's Proclamation.

ST. PAUL, July 9.-The following, which explains itself, has been issued by Archbishop Ireland:
 'The President of the United States has asked, by proclamation, the people of the United States, at their next meeting for worship, to offer thanks to Almighty God for the victories gained by our army and navy, and to pray with earnest fervor that the Almighty may, in his love for the children of men, speedily remove from us the af- fiictions of war, and bring to our dear land the blessings of restored peace and to the domain ravaged by the cruel strife the boon of security and tranquility.
 Tn accordan with the request of the Chief Magistrate of the nation in all the churches of this diocese on next Sunday after the high Lass the Te Deum will be chanted In thanks giving for the victories gained and the Litany of Jesus will be recited for the speedy granting of peace to the nations now engaged in deadly warfare"
 The archbishop will himself preach in the cathedral on Sunday morning, his theme being this proclamation by the President.

 GUANTANAMO, July (by the Asso- ciated Press dispatch boat Cynthia, via Port Antonio and Kingston, July 9).-Advices received by Commander McCalla of the Marblehead from the city of Guantanamo show that the deaths from starvation average fifteen daily.
 General Perez, the commander of Guantanamo, has given up hope of succor, and the town could readily be taken were it worth while to risk the lives of the American troops. The en- trance from the upper to the lower bay is patrolled nightly by steam launches. The gunboats in the upper bay have not shown themselves for several days.
 Port Captain Fernandez of Baracoa, with three officers. was captured by Commander McCalla as they ran into this harbor for news They did not see the Americans until too late.
 Thousands of Cubans some estimates placing the number at 10000 are being fed at the camp on the west side of the harbor with supplies furnished by the Red Cross Society.
 The health of the marines at Guam tanamo is good, but the same cannot be said of those at Baiquiri, where forty of the hundred men are on the sick list, suffering from low fever On July ninety Spaniards appeared on the hills west of Baiquiri and opened fire. The gunboat Manning replied vigorously and her shells soon silenced and drove away the enemy
 The siege guns and their ammunition are now being unloaded from the trans port Orizaba to a large barge. The difficulty is to get the guns ashore through the surf. It is believed the road to Santiago is now passable for heavy artillery.

 OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July ' (by the Associated Press dispatch boat Dauntless, via Port Antonio, July 8, by way of Kingston Jamaica, July S.-The vessels which compose Admiral Ger vera's squadron, converted into wreck ed charnel houses, are littering the Gu ban coast, and the scenes of desolation. ruin, horror and death baffle descrip- tion.
 At the entrance of the harbor of San tiago de Cuba lies the Reina Mercedes. Westward, five miles from the harbor. is a torpedo boat destroyer stuck fast in the rocks close in shore and batter ed by the surf. Rocks jutting out of the water in front of where she lies hide her hull from view. Her davits and the top of her coming tower alone mark her resting place.
 Visible from the sea few miles fur ther on, in an inlet embraced by two mighty arms of black rocks that extend out half mile, are the remains of the twin cruisers Infanta Maria Teresa and Almirante Oquendo, formerly the pride of the Spanish navy. On beyond lies the Vizcaya, a mass of ruins, and forty-two miles away from Santiago de Cuba the Cristobal Colon reposes helpless on her side, with her smoke stacks under water.
 The Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almirante OQuendo stand upright stuck fast on the rocky shoals. All that is left of them is their outer hulls, the heavy armor defying total anni- hilation. Inside of them the work of destruction is complete The boilers, engines, bunkers and magazines have been blown into unrecognizable masses of twisted melted iron. Exploded shells, burned rifles and revolvers, pieces of yellow brass work and gold and silver coin, melted by the intense heat, are strewn all over the remains of the once proud armored cruisers, whose protective decks only stand in places.
 But the most ghastly and horrible sights in these steel coffins are the mangled, scared and charred bodies of hundreds of brave sailors, sacri- feed for their country Buzzards are feeding off them, and others are hover ing over the wreckS.
 On the beach fiocks of vultures sit In silence, watching for the sea to give up its dead Every tide adds to the tale of horror, washing up such objects as, for instance, a sleeve inclosing a wasted arm, others portions of the hu- man body gnawed by sharks and countless rellcS or tnee DdtIie.
 Attention has been given to the burial of the dead of the enemy and over 100 bodies taken from the ships or washed ashore have been inferred upon the beach by Sampson's order.
 Those which now remain are either almost totally consumed by fire, charred beyond belief or lie in the depths of the sea. These form the food of the buzzards, who keep constant vigil about The buried remains lie in a confused mass, unnumbered and un- named, in a huge pit on the sandy beach. where the vessels went ashore. A rude wooden cross from the wreck age alone marks the grave-a grave over which Spain may we'll mourn.

OBSTACLES TO PEACE.

The most serious obstacle to peace with Spain Is not military, though mili- tary success will tend to lessen and re- move it. It is the dense ignorance of the strength of the American nation and the character of the American people which prevails among the people of Spain. The Government must persist in hopeless war because 1t dares not tell the people it Is hopeless. Knowing nothing of the relative strength of the United States, and believing blindly in the traditional puissance of Spain, they would not be- iieve the Government were it to tell the truth would denounce 1t as false and cowardly and hurl 1t from power. The Spanish people have no direct part in the Government, but they have the power of revolution over 1t. Their passionate ig
 norance makes them the tool of those who
