stating that he would leave for Wash

to be due to misapprehension. The
admiral has made no application to
leave, and it is the belief that he will
be the last of the Spanish prisoners
to go home, as he has shown father
~ regard for all the other officers and
men and appears to be desirous of see

fore he leaves. The navy department
has not taken up the question of the
final disposition of the Spanish prison

or two special eases in which the cir
cnnstances made speedy action ad-
.visable. One of these was the case Of

Spanish prisoners at Annapolis. The
doctors reported that Dr. Jurada was
very feeble and that while he might
be able to reach Spain if released now,
he would not be able to make the trip
a mouth hence. The navy department
accordingly directed ssss4felease, and
the Spanish chaplain will be allowed to
accompany DIR. Jurada TO Spain. The
case of Capt. Moreu, commander of one
of the. cruisers of Cerveva's fleet, has
. also received special action by the de-
partment. 1t appears that Capt.
Moreu is not only an officer of the
navy, but is member of the Spanish
parliament. With the prospect that
the parliament would reassemble at
an early day, Capt. Moren was desirous
of returning to Spain and participat-
ing in the sessions. In particular he
expressed the desire of telling the
Spanish parliament of the generous
treatment accorded to him and all
other Spanish prisoners by the United
States. The officials here felt that
such statement from Capt. NLoreu
could but have salutary effect. His
release was accordingly ordered

Dispatch Is Made PubIic-Names
of Some of the Killed.

Washington, Aug. 1s.-The war de-
partment Thursday made public the
order sent to Gen. Merritt regarding
the occupation of the city of Manila
by the American forces. The order
follows:
"Adtutant Generals Office, Washington,
. G., Aug. II. lSss.-Msi. Gen. Merritt.

that there must be no joint occupation, with

there may be no trouble With the m
surgent forces in the Philippines. al
though the dispatches which have
been received and published in
the press together with the de-
mands of Aguinaldo for Joint oc-
cupation have indicated tenn
per on the part of the insurgent lead
ers which is not satisfactory
The text of the presidents order
cannot be misunderstood, and the in
surgents will be kept out of Manila,
and the city, bay and harbor will be
held as an American possession. The
possibility of an attack ON the city
by the insurgent forces has been con
sidered, but as the insurgents, with
the bay in possession of Admiral Dewey
for three months and 10000 American
troops near the city FOR month past,
were unable to cause the surrender Of
the city, it is not believed that they
will be very formidable against the
forces of Gen. Merritt.
