MODERATE CENSORSHIP.
General Greeley Issues a Liberal Or

Washington, Aug. 20.-Tnstructions regarding cables were issued by Gen eral Greeley to the following effect:
 Transatlantic cables are free entire ly from censorship. The censorship. however. liberally administered, will continue in Cuba and Porto Rico. Mes sages, obviously detrimental to the United States, for instance, such as would impede peace negotiations, are prohibited.
 Cipher messages are allowed only as follows: First, government and diplo- matic, including Spain; second, mes sages in transit between the United States and Cuba, via Jamaica and Hayti
 Gen. Greeley stated the further ex- tension of telegraphic lines through the island of Porto Rico had for the present been stopped. Up to the time of the declaration of an armistice this work was progressing at the rate of ten or twelve miles a day, and tele- graphic communication has been estab- lished in more than half of the island.

VICTORIOUS SHIPS.
The Great Naval Review al
 NeW York Yesterday.
A Welcoming Home Of inc Heroes aRe WarShipS Which Have Re- Cens;y Made History.

New York, Aug. 20.-New York and the nation have fitly today signalized the appreciation by the republic of her victorious fleet. An imposing naval pageant of warships has been reviewed in the harbor Of the largest city of the nation with acclamations of delight and admiration and an ovation from the shore and from the great fiotillas of all sorts of craft on the water has significantly given to the returning heroes some idea of the esteem and ad- miration in which they are regarded by the people.
 Long before sunrise guns were fired at Castle William, Governors Island and people were astir. Crowds were hurrying to the river to be early on the scene. The New York and New Jersey shores were crowded with peo- pie. The river and bay were literally alive with craft alive with people, all cheering and good natured. An i'm pressive scene was when the flags were hoisted on the forts and the flag ships. As the starry banners were raised aloft, the bands of the forts and on the flagships played the Star Spangled Banner" and the shores rang with cheers. There was very little friction in carrying out the programme
Arizona republican., 1898-08-21
and no more delay than was to be ev

and no more delay than was to be ev- pected.
 The welcoming ceremonies were short, but imposing. There was con- siderable wig-wagging on the gray battleships and the police boats formed in line. The battleships began to slowly move up the bay. There was a saIvo of cannon and the cheers of the people and the toots of thousands of whistles made an indescribable din. Soon the monster pageant was in line First came Admiral Sampson's flag ship New York, followed by the mag nifcent fighting machines that have made Uncle Sans name respected the world over, and after them a moving mass of all sizes and descriptions with flags waving and people cheering.
 The great battleships moved slowly and majestically. As Governors Is- land was passed there was a tremen- dous report from the guns that did SC much execution at Santiago and Guantanamo. The people on shore and afloat went wild. They yelled and screamed, waved flags and jumped up and down in patriotic fervor And 'so it was all the way up to Grants tomb, where there was a final demon stration of patriotic fervor such as New York had never witnessed before The pageant was viewed and cheered by hundreds of thousands of people It was a magnificent and indescribable scene and one never to be forgotten

WATCHING EACH OTHER.
The Two National Committees Map-
 ping Out inc Campaign.

Washington, Aug. 20.--The head quarters Of both the republican and democratic campaign committees were very quiet today
 Most Of the letters being received by both committees in relation to cam paign literature are inquiries regard ing the character of matter that will be at the command of the candidates ;n various districts. The demands for particular kinds of literature are ex- pected to indicate better than any other way just what issues are regarded as most prominent in all the districts in which contests will take place. After samples of literature ly1ferred on the subject of the tariff, finance, foreign expansion Of territory, the issue of bonds to carry on the war, etc., are in the hands of candidates orders from them will begin to come in. These or ders will show just how the tide is running. The silver question will be prominent throughout the south. While it is believed the issuance of bonds to carry on the war will be criticized severely by democrats in the west, and such criticisms must be answered by the republican committee, the tariff will be an important issue in New York and other central and eastern states. The extent to which these questions will prevail as important campaign is sues cannot yet be told.
 The fact is each congressional com mittee here is carefully keeping an eye on the other committee, waiting to see what issues will be made prominent in their hand books and in literature put forth by them. Neither committee has yet issued it's campaign book. Each committee would prefer getting it's op- ponent's hand book before issuing it's own guide to candidates in order to reply to arguments put forth by the opposition. The idea that antagonism to territorial expansion will be promi- nent in the campaign is dying out The way in which Bailey and Bland have been received with such coolness in attempts to raise the standard of
