The president shook the admiralS hand
very cordially and inquired about his ex-
perience in commanding the fleet in the
Cuban waters. Admiral Sampson referred
briefly to number of the important Incl
dents of the war. Tai details of the great
battle of July were gone over quite
thoroughly. The president at the outset
the admiral for the success of the bat
tie and showed deep interest in the story
of the engagement as told by him. The
talk also bore on the reasons for not en-
tering the harbor at Santiago and the
placing Of mines and torpedoes in Cuban
ports.
for the evacuation of Cuba were talked
over and the president was asked as to
whether formal instructions would be
given the commission.
Mr.. Mckinley told the admiral that
written instructions would be given the
commission in few days. The talk
along this line was of a general nature
and laid down no strict line of policy
During the call Secretary AIger came
over from the war department to con-
suit the president regarding the DISPOSE
ton of troops and finding Admiral Samp-
son there, greeted him and joined in the
discussion. Both Rear Admirals Samp-

the commission, but Admiral Schley did
not arrive this afternoon
Admiral Sampson looked somewhat
fatigued. He did not wear his uniform.

president he stopped just long enough to
crafty several autograph enthusiasts and
then drove off to his hotel, where Acting
Secretary Allen left him. The latter an
nounced positively that the admiral would
retain his command of the North Atlantic
squadron while one of the Cuban COM
missioners. No time has been fixed for

GOING TO HONOLULU.
All Troops at the Preside Will Be
Sent

San Francisco, Aug. pa telegram
has been received from the war depart
ment, ordering all the troops of General
Merritt's department remaining here to
be sent to Honolulu with at least four
months subsistence and medical stores,
and to be held there until further or
ders. This practically transfers the
scene of expeditionary operations from
San Francisco to the Hawaiian islands,
and gives the troops a more pleasing
prospect than to mastering out, to
which they had been looking forward.
All the commands have been ordered to
make acquisitions to the cuartermas-
ter's department for summer clothing,
and the Australia and City of Sydney
are already being coaled preparatory
to carrying out this order.
The Seventh California will be the
first of the troops to be sent to HOMO
lulu.
The men Of the Twentieth Kansas,
who signed the petit D to the secre-
tary OF war to be among the first to
be mustered out, have ali been slight
ly punished and deprived of most of
their privileges, and a corporal of their
number has been degraded to the ranks.
A similar petition in the First Wash
ington regiment has been consigned
to the flames.

DEwEY's MEMORIAL SWORD.
The Nations Gift to the Hero of
Manila

Washington Aug. 22.-The design for
the memorial sword which the govern
ment is to present to Rear Admiral
Dewey, according to act of congress, was
finally determined upon today by the
committee. consisting of Acting Secretary
Allen, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
and Professor Oliver of the United States
naval academy. The design selected was
submitted by Tiffany & Co. of New York
Its marked characteristic is its simple
and solid elegance. The hilt of the sword,
as originally submitted. showed an eagles
head, but this was changed to plain and
solid. but highly traced gold handle. The
blade is "Damascened, being subjected
to that process by which the famous
Damascus blades were made. One side of
the blade bears the inscription: 1.-The gift
Of the nation to Rear Admiral George
Dewey. u. 5. N: in memory of the victory
at Manila bay, May l, 1885, The scabbard
is OF dark blue damascened metal, with
tracery of gold.
One of. the marked features of the
original design was at the end of the
scabbard. where. in miniature, a crown,
presumably the Spanish crown, was brown
by this Dewey sword. The Committee re-
jected this suggestive feature and in
stead of the pierced crown there is sub
Stituted two dolphins.
