WAR MESSAGES COST
Communications With the Army Cost Very
Pretty Penny.

Washington. Aug. 1l.-Fcw people
tachel to cable communication under
existing conditions between the gov
eminent here nd Gen. Miles ana thu
naval commanders at Porto Rico. The
reason assigned for the heavy cable
tells us that It is necessary to use a
very cireuitous route and transfer
through several different cables in or
der TO reach New York from Ponce.
Cen. Greedy chief signal officer.
hopes to better this condition very
shortly. The French cable passes
about u miles northward of san Juan
on the north coast ana it is the ex-
pectation of Gen. Greedy, with the
consent of the cable officers to have
this cable cat at that point and a
landing made on the north shore of
Porto Rico, whore a cable station VIII
be ordered.
The immediate result will be to at
ford much more direct communication
between Porto Rico and the United
States and cut the cable tolls down
half. The French cable officers are
said to have acted with the greatest
courtesy and consideration in accom-
modatinG the United States govern
ment throughout the West Indian cam

strict regard for the obligations i'm

campaign in Luzon II is positively
stated that he is under no restraining
order from the war department, but it
is left entirely to his own discretion
when and how to attack Manila. AS i:
has been reported from Cavite that he
was simply waiting the arrival there
sumed this attack will soon follow, If
1t his not already been made, for, ac-
cording TO the calculation of the navy
department, the Monadnock is about
due now at Cavite. While not quite
clear as to Gen. Merritt's purpose in
deferring his attack until the vessel ar
rives, ii is the opinion of the military
officials that his plan is to plant the
two monitors, Monterey and Monad-
mock. directly within range of the Ma
Mia batteries and. if a demand for sur
render is refused, to batter down these
defences. Only fully armored vessels
can be safely employed in such work.
Secretary Alger. today, cabled to
Gen. Miles to Immediately apply to the
Porto Rican ports captured by him the
tariff drawn up by the government for
Santiago and other Cuban ports. This
is in line With the policy of the war
department of extending the Ameri-
can system on tariffs as rapidly as
possible over captured territory.
The settlement Of the details of the
evacuation of CUBA and Porto Rico IS
also receiving the earnest attention of
the officials. Some PROVISIONS to be
made for the treatment of the Span
ish prisoners and for the disposition of
the small arms and the artillery and
war stores. There is also some naval
property of value remning in Cuba
and Porto Rican ports. and it is a
question whether or not this should be
demanded by the United States or be al
lowed to remain in Spanish possession.
The conclusion has been reached by
Secretary Alger 10 refer these matters.

tant General Corhin is now looking up
accumulation. Possibly this commits
sion would meet the question raised by
the naval war board as to the pro-
priety Of holding MORO Castle as a
pledge until the formal signature of a
treaty of peace.
The ordnance department of the
army has succeeded at last in secur-
ing a smoke,ess powder adapted for use
in the Springfield rifle with which
nearly all the volunteer troops are
armed. The powder used with the
small repeating rifles was too powerful
and a special powder had to be secur-
ed. This is now coming in from the

IT'S ACCEPTED.
Madrid Cabinet Formally Ac-
cepts Peace Protocol.
Ministers Say No Modification Of Origi-
nal Terms Were Made.
Esrec.cd Signatures at Washington Will Be
Affixed. Today--H ostilities 10 Cease.

Madrid. Aug. 1.-THE day has been,
automatically, one of the busiest since
the outbreak of the war. There have
been on fewer than two cabinet
councils, in addition to various diplo-
matte conferences.
Though the text Of the protocol was
not received until the evening was well
advanced. the government had been
made fully acquainted with its con-
tents through Paris.
The matter was practically settled.
as already cabled, at the cabinet
meeting, this afternoon, and the re-
ceipts of the actual documents there
fore, only required meeting of the
cabinet for a formal acceptance.
Ministers adhere to the statement
that the protocol contains no modifi-
cations of the original terms, but only
new suggestions.
They expect they will he signed at
Washington, tomorrow, U'riday) and
that a suspension of hostilities will be
announced.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs. assures the correspon-
dent of The Associated Press that ne
gotiations for the peace treaty will
take place in Paris, but he says the
shave not been appointed.
The terms of the protocol will not be
published until the instrument has
been signed.
Senior Moret. the former minister for
the colonies. had a long conference. to-
day, with Senior Sagasta. The former
has been frequently mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency of the
Spanish commission to draw up the
treaty of peace with the United States.
as he is intimately acquainted with CO.
lonial matters.
Official circles consider that the con-
vocation of the Cortes can be post
poned until the end Of September and
it is further said that suspension of
hostiities will be Geographically an
nounced by both governments immedi-
ately after NJ. Cambon has signed the
protocol.
Premier Sagasta denies that he au-
thoriZed the French ambassador at
Washington, NJ. Cambon, as represen-
tative of Spain, to make changes in the
Spanish answer.
AS regards conditions which might
create difficulties during the course of
negotiations" the Premier added: If
any changes are to be made. the gov
eminent itself will make them"
The Liberal, moderate Republican,
expressed the belief that President Nc
Kinley replied to Spain's note with
suspicious rapidly" 1t adds:
I'VE accept the sacrifice, knowing the
responsibility falls upon the govern
ment. The best course is to avoid all
useless procedure while the diplomats
are clubbing. 1t is useless to max
distinction in language in order to
reach a conclusion which is incvitablS
and alredy known. while our blood con-
tinues to flow in Porto Rico and al
Manila. During the last three years
we have sacrificed too much blood. II
is time to end it. ana this is the only
aspect of the question that at present
can be considered. Any way the press
is unable to discuss its other aspects
All delay in concluding an armistict
is criminal"
