tude of officials is to assume that our
authority covers Manila city, Manila
bay and harbor an also such other terri

elastic enough to cover any or all of the
Philippine islands that may have been
brought under our authority by the recent
surrender. The instructions sent to Gen.
Merritt have in view the expansion of our
possessions beyond the terms stated in
the protocol, as they distinctly state that

Boston, August 1o-Col. William ].
Maybury of Saco, surgeon general of the
Maine national guard, accompanied by
Col. J. ID. Printable, arrived in Boston
last night to meet the Maine hospital
train, which was expected from Chicka-
manga with the sick of Maine's troops
in that camp, at 9 o'clock. Almost the
first thing the officers learned, however,
was to the effect that the train was eight
hours or more late, and would not be in
until nearly 2 O'Clock in the morning.
Col. Maybury arranged for a special
engine to take him out to East Somer-
Vile, where he met the special hospital
train on its arrival.
The train left Chickamauga on Tues
day night at midnight, and has been en-
route for Portland ever SINCE 1t con-
sisted of six special cars and came through
by the way of Buffalo and Albany. In
the cars were 1875 men, 45 of whom were
seriously i'll, most of the cases being
typhoid. The others are all GONZALES
cents.
"We are heTe,'' Col Maybury said to
a reporter, 'to relieve the officers who
have come on with the men thus far.
The patients will not change cars at all,
as the train will not come into the
station. The cars will simply be shifted
to the Eastern Division tracks of the
Boston & Maine, and will then proceed to
Portland. Adjutant General j. I. Rich
ards and Mayor Randall will meet the
train there. All the arrangements for
bringing the sick men by the way have
been made at the instance of Gov. Powers
of Maine"

Relief Soon.

General Shat ter's Headquarters July 6,
via Port Antonio. JAM, July T., by way
of Kingston, JAM. July Z, p. m.-The
French and Portuguese consuls have con-
Jinued their conference looking to the re-
lief Of the refugees from Santiago de
Cuba. They called on General Shafter
this morning, reported that the exiles
were wholly destitute and begged for
American aid. The General promised to
afford the refugees limited daily supply
of food at Ell Caney in Spanish territory,
where they get nothing from Spain. The
consuls we're very guarded in their refer
ences to the situation at Santiago de
Cuba, but they painted 1t worse than re-
ported by the refugees. They claimed
the garrison only numbers tive thousand
men. The accuracy of this is doubtful, as
General Pando is almost certain to have
arrived with what is left OF his, five
thousand men from Manzanillo.
The hospital conditions of our army are
improving. Forty amb1lances are now in
service and there are many empty tents.
The wounded are nearly all at Juraeua.
The headquarters hospital has been
cleared in expectation of the next assault.
The number of sick is Increasing rapid-
ly. There are one hundred cases in the
invalid hospital. principally diarrhoea
and slow fever.
The officers hope for speedy tsrmina-
tion OF the siege before the ravage of the
climate and disease.

EXPECT PEACE SOON.
Views on Spanish War Strongly Optimistic
in Washington.

Washington, July 7.-All views on the
Spanish war were strongly optimistic
here today. Possibly the President s
expressed hope for peace in his proclama
ton issued last night may have been the
first base for these views, but there are
confirmed evidences from sources
that have SO far proved to be unfailingly
accurate, that seem to afford foundation
for the expectation that some overtures
in the direction of peace may be expected
shortly, though of course peace itself can
not be consummated mediately.
The most significant advice was one
from Spain stating positively that within
a week that country would sue for peace
1t can be stated authoritatiyely, how
ever. that up to this time, no overtures
have been made to our government, look
ing to peace.
1t could not be expected that the United
States government would receive kindly
a suggestion that it should make the
initial movement toward peace and thers-
fore no overtures from the European
powers CT from Spain directly oould be
expected until the Spanish government
had eithsr directly or through some
power made an advance in that
direction.

Before Santiago via Playa Del Este.
July z. l p. m.-General Toral, the
Spanish commander in Santiago, has
been officially informed by General
Shafter of the complete destruction of the
Spanish feet and that the American war
ships are now free to cooperate with the
army in the reduction Of Santiago. He
has been given such time as he may deem
proper to consider the advisability of
capitulation with his garrison.
Although General Toral is apparently
anxious to resist to the bitter end, the
utter hopslessness of holding out against
a siege by land and sea must be forcing
itself upon him. His losses have been
heavy. The reinforcements upon which
he was counting have not arrived. Gen.
Pando has left him in the lurch and, 1t is
understood is making his way across the
country to Havana. The food supply in
Santiago is low and it is understood the
mnunition is running short
The cable operators who left Santiago
yesterday have been sent back in order
that General Toral may be able to COM
municate freely with General Blanco and
Madrid.
The prospects for the capitulation of
Santiago without further fighting grows
with each hour of delay. The archbishop
of Santiago has appealed to General
Blanco to surrender the city.

Way to Peace.

London, July 1.-THE newspapers
throughout Europe today are urging
Spain to seek for peace. 1t is generally
recognized that Senior Sagasta's cabinet
will shortly be superseded. The difficulty
in the way of peace is the army, which is
anxious to retrieve the failure of the navy
and this ambition is strengthened by the
fact that the American forces have not
yet captured Santiago. But it is becom-
ing clear. even to the Spaniards, that an
undue prolongation of the war will only
be playing into the hands of the CarIists.

The order provides that each ship shall

before the American squadron will be
