Wade, President of the Cuban military
commission, has been in consultation with
Corbin regarding his new assignment II
will. be some time before instructions win
be prepared for the Cuban and Porto
Rican commissions, but they are subjects
of consideration by the Admins stration.
The instructions will cover all the main
points. but many details will be left for
the commissions There is considerable
anxiety among the staff officers and aides
of the officers composing the commission
as to whether or not they. will be selt
along It is known that the President
does not desire large staffs to accompany
these officers or anything like a show Of
force accompanying the commission.
Probably only such officers as actually are
needed in the conduct Of the business will
be sent to Cuba and San Juan.

from the Military Commander Of this dis
trict.'
He added that during the engagement
the Spanish authorities in Caibarien had
wired the Military Commander Of the dis
trict that the American ships were bonn
harding the port and that immediate re-
sponse had been received informing them
that peace had been restored and the fir
ing should cease.
The Spanish crew of the small boat
which brought this officer to the Man
grove, said the Spaniards had not lost
a man. but the officer himself made no
allusion to the fight which had lasted an
hour and ten minutes.

out of the narrow channel she went
aground and lay there five hours. Had
the same mishap befallen her during the
engagement, the chances are that she

enforced taking, rather than on the basis
two countries. This may become material
when the question rises as to the future
of the Philippines, for it is likely to pro-
ceed from the American standpoint that
Manila was taken for force of arms, and
is so occupied. There has been no time to
consider what will be done with the 7,coo
Spanish prisoners taken, but the fact that
an amicable understanding has been
reached with Spain as to the occupation
Of Manila will probably operate to light
en- the condition of these prisoners.
1t was learned at the War Department
today that the reopening of the cable to
Manila was surrounded by some compli-
cations This cable was laid by British
company by permission of the Spanish
Government, which granted the company
a subsidy. When Admiral Dewey cut the
cable because the Spanish authorities
would not allow him the use of it, it was
sealed up at Hong Kong by order of
the Spanish Government and it is claimed
that an order from the Spanish Govern
ment will be necessary before the COM
pany will be authorized to reopen it. It
has been believed all along that as soon
as Manila was in possession of the Am
orleans the cable company would feel at
liberty to restore cable communication
between Kong Kong and Manila. But
this is not the view of officials Of the
War Department who have looked into
the subject

extraordinary action of the Germans in
assisting the fight of General Augustin

In terms similar to those used by the

the British bombardment of Zanzibar.

at the German Consulate.

This Manila incident is uncommonly

that the Kaiserin Augusta, which brought
away General Augustin from Manila, left
the harbor after the surrender of the city
and asserts that tile Spanish officers
were allowed to go free, so that General
Augustin was able to go whittier he
pleased.

mitted him to go to Hong Kong on board

agreement with the American commander

considered such an agreement still neces-
sary. Moreover. it is also to be OBJ
served that the Spanish troops at Manila
may, by mutual consent, proceed to Spain

BRUTAL PARENTS.
Mamie Coughlin's Tale of Ill
Treatment at the Hands of
Her Father and Mother.

The police of this city today investigated
a case of cruelty 70 a fifteen year old
girl, which is almost beyond belief. They
have found all the facts as alleged to be
true. The investigation will probably re-
suit in the arrest of Michael and Nora
Coughlin of No. 724 Garfield avenue
Greenvile, for brutally ill-treating their
daughter Mamie fifteen years old. They
had been arrested before, for beating
her. It was charged that they had tied
her to a bed post and beaten her until she
could not stand.
They had also followed her to the home
of Mrs. Carter, No II Oak street, where
she secured employment after being
forced through ill-treatment to leave her
home, and catching her in the yard
dubbed her and beat her until she was
black and blue. The case was brought
to the attention of the police by the fol-
lowing letter. which was sent to the Ger
ry Society in New York City, and was
forwarded by the society to Inspector and
Acting Chief William Lange:-
Dear Sir-I kindly inform you to see

On receiving the letter Inspector Lange
had his detectives make inquiries in the
neighborhood in which the girl lives. He
found that her story of cruelty was true
in every particular. Inspector Lange
then called the girl before him and she
detailed all the acts of cruelty committed
upon her. Inspector Lange will have the
