Mckinley came to Somerset to pass
restful day, and he has certainly ac-

provided fine weather, in fact the most

the president has taken advantage of it.
He rose early this morning, and passed
an hour walking about town with his
brother, Abner. He met an old ac-
quaintance and talked for a short
time.
The presidents determination to at
tend the morning service at the Meth
odist Episcopal church became known,
and every seat was occupied. The edi-
flee was tastefully decorated with flow
ers. The presidents wife did not at
tend church. The people Of this town
have seen the president go to church
before, yet the sight Is rare one for
them, and many took positions along
the streets to witness it. This caused
the chief executive to lift his hat fire.

right and left as he walked along.
After the service the president took
long drive, and this evening received
number Of personal friends.
The presidential party will leave for

departure. The train wrecked was the
first section. It was going at high
rate OF speed. Ten miles north the
engine and tender jumped the track,
deraiIing five cars, which rolled down a
steep eIpbankment. The soldiers claim
the train was running too fast around
a curve. The injured were brought

LONDON, Aug. 2S.-There are indi-
cations that Lord Salisbury is becom-
ing convinced that it is no longer pos
sible to maintain the integrity of the
Chinese empire. and he is preparing
to forestall his rivals by being the
first to seize a share Of the spoils This
policy will probably yield the largest
results to Englishmen.
It Is necessary at all events for the
Washington government to decide def
nitely and in detail what is the policy
it will pursue in case such action is
taken by Great Britain or any other
power. There will be no time to for
mulate a policy after the moment Of
action comes. 1t will be q question Of
hours, and the American voice, If it is
to be heard at all. must speak clearly
and empha,tically in the European cap
itals, or American trade rights in Asia
will be all but ignored.
The question Of Ambassador Hays
successor is still a matter Of the keen
est interest in London. The latest dis
patches make mention only of Joseph
H. Choate, Secretarw Of Legation
White and Senator Mcmillan. Either
Of the two first named would be cor
daily welcomed; the latter. Of course,

They were detachments of all the regu-
lar army infantry regiments not in

Col. e. w. Coates, of the Seventh

the men had seen service with their
regiments before Santiago, and early in
July were sent to Florida to recover
from the ills and wounds Of the cam

QUEBEC, Que, Aug. 2S-The inter-
national commissioners will meet in
joint session again tomorrow, and prob
ably each day until Friday. Separate
meetings Of the American and Cana
subcommittee will continue during
the week. Senator Fairbanks stated
tonight that the first weeks work had
been very satisfactory, and that every
thing up to this point indicates the
best results. He anticipates consider
able progress will be made between
now and next Friday, when a recess
will be taken until Sept 20.
On Thursday the American commits
sioners will give a hearing to a repre-
sentative of the Boston chamber of
commerce. General trade conditions
will be considered. Probably on the
same day a hearing will be given to
the interests Of the American lumber
men. Last week Don NJ. Dickinson
was heard in the cause OF luMnberunen
having interests in Canada, but the
hearing this week will be for those
who are interested in other branches Of
business. The commissioners decline to
state in detail the hearings that are
set down for this week.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier will probably re-
turn this week. 1t is learned that the
copyright question will be brought be-
fore the commission as the work. goes
on. The Canadian publishers desire, in
a measure, to be freed from the rigor-
Gus copyright laws of the mother coun-
try, and they also desire a readjust-
ment Of the copyright laws existing be-
tween the United States and Canada.
This question, however, will probably
not be discussed until other matters
have been disposed Of.

swindlers gave the air Of truth to an
old story by setting. forth that this
particular prisoner had buried a vast
amount Of gold in Santiago to escape
the rapactty Of the cruel Yankees.
Money was asked to enable him to re-
turn to Cuba and unearth the treas
ure, now that peace is restored.
All efforts Of the British police in
years past to induce the Spanish au-

less. There Is little doubt that the

they share thef spoils with the local

MERRITT MAY ATTEND.
Not Unlikely That He Will Advise
the Paris Peace Commission.

the Paris Peace Commission.
WASHINGTON, Aug 2S.-No con-
firnation could be obtained tonight
from officials off the war department of
the report that Gen. Merritt would sail
next Tuesday from Manila to attend
the sessions of the peace conference
at Paris. There are reasons to believe,
however, that the report Is correct,
although the war department may not
be advised as yet as to the exact date
Of Gen, Merritt's departure from Ma
Mia.
Gen. Merritt's instructions when he
went to the Philippines were thorough
ly to fa1niliarZe himself with the situa-
ton on the islands. These instructions
probably were given him in anticipa-
ton of the peace conference. Since his
arrival at Manila he undoubtedly has
gathered a fund of information that
would be of distinct value to the Amer
lean peace commissioners, and the idea
is to have him attend the conference
in an advisory capacity. He would be
able to supply much detailed informa-
ton that 1t would be impossible for
the commissioners to obtain from any
other source.

CUBANs LESS HOSTILE.
All Ideas of Resisting the Americans

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. 2S.-Gen.

city to have an interview with the
American commander regarding the
disbandment Of the Cuban forces in

after which Gen. Castillo returned to
Boniato.
Gen. Castillo expressed the opinion
that the disbandment of the Cubans
could be effected without trouble, but
nothing definite was decided upon. He
said that the hostility of the Cubans
growing out of the refusal of the
Americans to permit the joint military
occupation Of the conquered territory,
with the Cuban flag floating over the
palace beside the Stars and Stripes,
was disappearing, and, under the ad-
vice Of cool heads, their scheme Of
making an armed demand for their al
legged rights had been abandoned.
