WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The gen

finally drawn up and approved by the
President and his Cabinet at the spe-
cial meeting this afternoon after long
conference with four members Of the
Peace Commission, mean permanent
American control Of the Philippines
Although there was an agreement that
nothing should be divulged as to the
nature OF the instructions, 1t was told
tonight, by a high official Of the Ad-
ministration who is familiar with its
contents that the instructions meant

PEACE BASIS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Peace
Commissioners received their final in
structions from the President today,
and the State Department tonight
gave out the following concerning the
discussion between the members OF the
Cabinet and the Peace Commissioners:
"The members of the Peace Commits
sion, with the exception OF Senator
Gray, whose absence was due to his
inability to withdraw as counsel in
case in which he was engaged some
time before his appointment as one OF
the Peace Commissioners, have spent
the greater part OF yesterday and to-
day in a free discussion of the duties,
with the discharge Of which they have
been intrusted by the President. Sen
ator Gray is expected during the ev-
ening, and before sailing will have a
full conference with the President and
his associates.
while for obvious reasons 1t was
determined that the nature OF the In
structions as to- the negotiations about
to be entered upon should for the pres
ent be kept secret and made known
only after definite results shall have
been reached, 1t is possible to state
authoritatively that the Commission
goes to Paris fully prepared to follow
a course of action mapped out for 1t
as the result of the consultations OF
the last two days.
AT the very outset 1t will be made
clear 10 the Spanish Commissioners
that, as in the case of the preliminary
protocol, there can be no deviation
from or modification Of the demands

THE DELAY BEFORE SAILING.
Troops Suffered From Heat In Their
Crowded Quarters on the Ships.

Troops Suffered From Heat In Their
Crowded Quarters on the Ships.
PORT TAMPA, Fla, June 10, on board
the transport Alamo.-At 9 o'clock
Wednesday night, the feet ready to
sail for Santiago, General Shafter re-
ceived this telegram from General
Miles at Tampa Bay hotel: "Three
Spanish vessels reported and may be
within six hours of your command.
Withdraw your steamers at once to the
piers, also using the one on the north
side of the channel. In that way,
eighteen steamers can be in at one
time"
These orders were sent by small
boats out to the feet, and the war YES
sells scurried down the bay, with the
exception of the Annapolis.
At o'clock this afternoon the Hor-
net came from the lower bay. Great
secrecy is observed aboard the flagship,
and nothing can be learned of the
state of affairs. Many of the troops
have already been aboard three days,
and are suffering from the heat,
cramped quarters and travel rations OF
canned stuff with no green food. The
steamers are in the slip, where it is
very hot for men and animals. The
state of mind prevailing here is indie
scribable. The Mascotte arrived an
hour ago from Key West with passen-
gers, having apparently passed safely
through the phantom Spanish fleet in
the gulf.
Troops are now drawing four days
more travel rations, three of the ten
already drawn having been consumed
On the lower deck of each vessel are
from 500 to 1,5OO men in three tiers OF
hunks and three men i'll each bunk
They cannot endure the heat much
longer.
