SPANIARDS At MANILA
sAGASTA WOULD TRANSPORT THEM
TO VISAYAS ISLANDS.
Does Not Favor Bringing Soldiers
HOme-Peace Commissioners May
BE Named by the COrtes.

MADRID, Aug. 26.-The Cabinet was in
session again to-day. Senior Sagasta said
the government was principally occupied
with the position of the troops that had ca
pitulated at Manila. 1t would be better, he
thought, to transport them to the Visayas
islands than to bring them home, but the
question must be decided by agreement with
the American government. 1t depended on
whether or not the troops were considered
prisoners of war
The Spanish army officers who arrived on
the steamer Alicante. which reached Corun-
ma on the 24th inst. with the first of the
Spanish reDatriated soldiers, were given a
banquet by representatives of the Madrid
press at Corunna. The officers declared that
both the American and Spanish nations adj
hered to the methods of civilized warfare
throughout the campaign. They conceded
the superiority of the American artillery.
The health of the troops which arrived by
the Alicante is already greatly improved.
El Heraldo asserts that in view of the
existing difficulties regarding the appoint
ment of the peace commissioners it is pos
sible the Cortes may be called upon to make
nominations.
Official reports from Manila are to the
effect that all of the officials residing in
the capital are in good health. There is no
communication between Manila and the
provinces.
A steamer arrived at Bilbao to-day, bring
ing the crews of Spanish merchant vessel
which was captured by the Americans
during the war.

MISS BARTON AT HAVANA.
The Civil Governor Advises Her to
Work in Interior Towns.

HAVANA, Aug. 26.-The Danish steamer
Tyr, with provisions and cattle, from New
Orleans, arrived to-day The Spanish
steamer Pho TX, from Vera Cruz, also ar
rived. She brought quantity of provi-
sions and 172 passengers, including many
of good social standing in Havana. The
Eaitien steamer Emanuel A. Raoul, with
provisions, from Key West, arrived at Isa-

The steamer Clinton arrived to-day with
Miss Clara Barton, DR.. Elwel, Mr.. Cottrell,
the Misses Grau and a number of others
belonging to the society on board Miss
Barton, accompanied by three other MEM
bers of the party, visited the civil gov
ernor Fernandez de Castro, and had a long
conversation with him regarding the condi-
ton of the poorer classes and the means
employed for their relief. In reply to
remark of Miss Barton's, the governor said
that outside relief for Havanas poor was
not needed as what was supplied by the
colonial government and the people was
sufficient for their necessities. LAS to the
interior towns" said the governor, that is
another matter. The suffering classes have
increased in number in consequence of the
war and there is a scarcity OF provisions
among them. to which you can attend, since
you are animated by high spirit of char
ity."
Miss Barton replied, expressing her ap-
probation OF the Governors remarks show
ing that he realized the Importance of the
Red Cross Society's humanitarian services.
Yesterday the free Kitchens in Havana
distributed over 5000 rations. Last night a
bazaar was inaugurated, having for its OBJ
ject the raising of funds for the relief of
the poor The civil governor was one of
the patrons of the bazaar. The building in
which the affair was held was filled to it's
utmost capacity and large crowd had as
sembled outside An American merchant
has given twenty-five barrels of potatoes
and Miss Clara Barton has offered fifty bar
rels for use in the three kitchens.
Miss Clara Barton, accompanied by sew
eral of her party, went this morning to
Matanzas. The remainder of the Red Cross
delegation remained on board the Clinton
at Havana.
Ell Noticiero, Spanish evening paper,
published a biographical sketch of Miss
Clara Barton in which it speaks in lauda-
tory terms of the services she has rendered
humanity.
General Pando will shortly leave the ISL
and He will be succeeded as chief of staff
to General Blanco by General Solano.
