INSURGENTS MUST QUIT.
Further HostiIities Will Be Proven tod by
Americans.

Washington, September 13.-Not much
Importance is attached here to the Spanish
report ON the destruction by Spanish gun
boats Of an insurgent fleet which at
tempted to make a landing on the
Visayas island. General Otis has in
formed the War Department that the in
surgent navy consisted of three small
ooasting vessels carrying about 240 men,
while 1t was known that tho Spanish
government had still one or two gunboats
concealed among the islands Of the
Philippine group. The insurgent vessels
started from Manila before the signature
of the protocol. Now the military au-
thorities here, after a careful considera-
tion of the question. have concluded that
1t is INCUMBENT upon them to compel the
insurgents to an observance of the sus-
pension of hostilities agreed upon between
ths United States and Spain, at least In
cases like that in the vicinity of Manila,
where, by the action of the United States
naval forces and military, the residents
have been deprived of the protection of
the Spanish forces.
1t is stated autaoritatively that General
Otis has been given plenary powers to
deal with this matter, although it is ex-
pected that be will be able to prevent an
absolute clash.

PORTER NOT IN 1T.
Presidents Secretary Probably Unsuccess-
full Candidate for Governor of Con-
nectfcut.

New Haven. September 13.-The ad-
vance guard of the Republican state con-
yention which will convene in the Hy-
perion theatre tomorrow night, is already
in evidence.
The convention promises to be one of
the most interesting of recent years,
chiefly on account of the strong effort
made by John Addison Porter, secretary
to President Mckinley to secure the
no animation for governor. This is the
third time that Mr.. Porter has been q
prominent candidate for the nomination.
but according to the statements OF the
managers of his rivals campaign, he
will not be in the running, and Hon.
George Lounsbury, the other candidate,
will be nominated on the first ballot by
an overwhelming majority.
The Porter men pooh pooh these state
ment5 and confidently state that when the
ballots are counted there will be some
surprises.
Then again, the candidacy Of Lieut..
Gov. Dewell, who is also seeking the
nomination, promises to be an interesting
factor.
The picturesque feature of the campaign
is the vigor with which MIR. Porter has
attacked the men who manage the affairs
of the party, alleging bossism, ring rule
and lobby control and his promise to 90
away with these elements should ne De-
come governor.

GEN. SHAFTER'S REPORT.
Has Been Filed at War Department and
Covers 200 Type Written Pages.

Washington, Sept. 13.-General Shat
ter today submitted to the War Depart
ment his report on the Santiago cam
paign, covering not only the battle OF
Santiago, but also the entire progress OF
the military invasion of Cuba. The re-
port is voluminous, covering with the
supplementary reports of division COM
manders, about 200, typewritten pages.
OF this Gen. Shafter's report forms about
half. After submitting the report, Cen
Shafter conferred for some time with
Acting Secretary Meikeljohn and Gen.
Corbin. 1t was stated afterward that
the report would not be made public for
the present, the desire being to place it
first In the hands of the President and
Secretary Alger and allow sufficient time
for consideration of it's contents. After
that there is little doubt that the materi-
al portions, and perhaps the entire re-
port win be made public. It repeats a
story already pretty well known, al
though there is much interest in the
view which the commanding General
takes of several features Of the cam

INSURGENTS TO DISBAND.

CyBANS GENERALLY DESIRE TO
DO THE SAME.

Ifeut. Col. Rowan Sent to Cuba by General
Miles to Make Observations in Cuba for
Benefit of the Government-IsP Provided
with Cuban Guides.
Santiago, September 13.-General Perez
has 5000 men in the vicinity of Gauntana-
mo, which he will disband this week by
order of General Castillo.
There is now a general desire on the
part of the Cuban army to disband, as
the insurgents have learned that their
back pay will not be considered by the
Americans. Lieut.. Col Rowan and
Captain Parker, accompanied by Lisut.
Col. Carlos Garcia, son of General Garcia,
and two other Cuban officers, arrived
here late last night on horseback, from
Gibera, on the north coast. Col. Rowan
was sent here by General Miles from
Porto Rico. He will make observations
in Cuba, geographical, climatic and
military for the government. He was
fitted out with guides, horses and pro-
visions by the Cuban commander at
Gibara and visited Holguin, which is
garrisoned by twelve thousand Spaniards
under General Luque.
Good health prevails among both
Cubans and Spaniards in the northern
part of the island. The Spaniards enter

GEN. GOMEZ RESIGNS.
Doesn't Approve of Yielding Power to
Americans.


Doesn't Approve of Yielding Power to
Americans.
Santiago de Cuba, September 13.-An
uncontirmed report was received by Gen.
eral Lawton last night, saying General
Maximo Gomez, the insurgent COM
mander-in-chief, has rendered his resig-
nation of the command of the Cuban
army, to;fthe Cuban government at
Camaguey and that it has been accepted.
Gomez, it appears, has been protesting
against the Cuban governments yielding
the control of the affairs of the island to
the Americans and that his explanation
for resigning was his disapproval OF
"passive submission to conditions tend
ing to the practical discrediting and re-
tirement of the Cuban republic as such
and the establishment of the absolute
dominion of the United States" I"
The Cubans at Santiago were much ex-
cited by the report and there was an anil
mated scene at the San Carlos club this
morning, when the matter was discussed.
The report was disbelieved by many,
who say that General Gomez's resignation
at this time is utterly improbable. Others,
however, say the general resents the put
ting the Cuban army under the authority
of the American generals and claims the
Cubans should resist, even by force OF
arms, if necessary.
General Cebrosso, Castillo. Pedro,
Perez and other insurgent leaders have
turned over their commands to General

Don't Like Presence of Mr.. Porter on the
Island.
Havana, September 13.-The presence OF
Mr.. Robert P. Porter, who is in Havana
on special commission from the United
States government to study the financial
and economical aspects of the situation,
is reg arded with suspicion by the party of
| free Cuba. as indicating the establish
ment of an American policy of guardian
ship.
Mr. Porter is preparing revision OF
the Cuban tariff, which will probably be
protective of Cuban industries and is &C.
ouainting himself with every detail OF
local taxation. In this work he is assisted
by a CAPABLE staff. For the present his
efforts are only preliminary as, until after
the definite settlement of peace, it will be
impossible to establish the new regime.
But his efforts and inquiries, taken TO-
gether with the announcement that
american troops win be sent later to oc-
cupy the island, which had hitherto been
doubted by many, have had the effect OF
Droyoking protests from the more raD1d
Cubans. who are holding meetings and
adopting resolutions against "ercroaoh-
ment upon our rights as citizens OF Cne
free and Independent republic OF Cuba by
the establishment of an American pro-
tectorate.
Commenting editorially today upon
these developments, La Lucha, says: 1T
is easy to foresee clash between the
two tendencies the two forces on the
political horizon of Cuba, the sentimental
independent party and the parry OF
practical annexationists. On one mana
stands the Cuban sentiment, which has

the other is arrayed every material In

foremost for the greatest and strongest
guarantee, not oply that order Will De

Development and increase in these very In

sit Is too early yet to predict with what
party the victory will lie, but the leaders
OF the National Cuban party should not
allow themselves to be carried away by
the natural exaltation and fiery tempera-
ment of their race. They should proceed
with tact and discretion at this juncture
for otherwise annexation may become an
accomplished fact far sooner than is ex-
pected.
'The leaders should act with prudence
and furnish an example Of strength and
stability. Such conduct in them m ay re.
suit in time in adding to the ranks of the
Cuban national party large proportion

and in carrying with them the great
landed and industrial interests of the

The two problems, independence and
| annexation, are the chiet topics discussed
and the idea of an American protectorate,
with military occupation is nowhere
fayorably considered. Everywhere it il
recognized that the choice is between in.

Paris, September 13.-Among the ru-
