BIG FLEET ASSEMBLING,
Seventy Warships Ordered to Hampton
Roads.

Seventy Warships Ordered to Hampton
Roads.
Washington, Aug. 19.-One of the
largest fleets of warships ever assem-
bled in an American port will be
brought together in the next few days
at Fort Monroe. Already fifty-seyen
warships are under orders to rendez-
vous there, and the orders still to be
issued will raise the total to the neigh
borhood of seventy.
Naval officials say 1t is difficult to
realize the extent of such marine ag-
gregation in one harbor. The orders
began issuing last Monday, when five
ships were ordered to Fort Monroe.
On the 10th another ship was added.
On the 18th eight more were sent and
on the 18th seventeen ships were add
ed To-days orders include eighteen
more ships. There We're eight there
before.
The movement of these ships north
ward is due to the close of hostilities,
and more from points of possible fever
infection. They will now be put in
thorough repair and their crews will
be gradually changed from naval mill
tinmen to sailors Of the regular navy.

MUST NOT KILL GAME.
Indians VIII he Prevented From Hunting
In Wyoming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug 1O.-Governor
Richards to-day wrote to the secretary
of the interior, asking that the Sioux
Indians be prohibited by their agents
from hunting in Wyoming. For several
years these Indians have been making
hunting incursions into Converse coun-
ty, killing antelope and other large
game. The county authorities will not
go to the expense of arresting and
prosecuting them, and the state is de-
sIrous of having the hunting parties
kept out of the state entirely.
w. G. Pyle, deputy game warden of
Fremont county, reports that he has
been given force of Indian police,
and will go to the head of Wind river
to send back hunting parties of Ban
nocks, peaceably il possible, but with
force If necessary. 1t is believed the
Indians will go to their reservation
without trouble.
Governor Richards has declined an
invitation to attend the Flower Carni-
val at Colorado Springs. The dates
conflict with those of the Irrigation.

Denver. Aug. 23.-A special to the
Republican from the New York Her
aids Washington correspondent says:
President Mckinley expects to de-
finitely decide upon his policy In re-
gard to the Philippines Mt the meeting
OF the Cabinet on Friday. This matter
was discussed by the Cabinet to-day,
and one OF the members told me the
President had practically reached n con-
clusion.
While 1t cannot yet he announced
definitely what the policy will be. can
say positively that the President Will
instruct the American peace commits
sIoners not to accept less than the L.
land of LuZon. They may he told to
go much further and to demand the
cession OF the entire group of Islands to
the United States. though there liz rea-
son to believe the President has not
yet concluded It would he wise for the
United States to undertake the control
OF nll the islands.
1t IL the expectation OF the President
thar he will be able to announce the en-
tire list OF American peace commission
ers Friday, after the Cabinet meet
ing. Senator F'rye's name. 1t Is stated,
has been added to the list OF those
definitely selected. and the commission
now consists of Secretary OF State Day,
Senator Frye of Maine, and Senator
Davis of Minnesota. Justice White Of
the Supreme Court is also mentioned.
Instructions cnblcd to Major General
Merritt. commanding the United States
forces In the Philippines. by Adju'ant
General Corbin to-day, throw siSnifi-
can side light upon the present pur-
poses OF the President. General Mer-
rift is Instructed TO provide quarters for
all his men, and is told that the dues-
tion of returning any part Of them to
the United States "can only be decided
after the ratification OF the report Of
the Peace Commission, which may not
be for some weeks. even months, yet"
He Is futhcr instructed to send
to San Francisco NIL transports
not needed for the immediate use of his
command This seems to clearly lndl-
cate that the President has determined
TO hold territory in the Philippines
which Will require General Merritt's
entire force of 15,000 men for general
garrison purposes.
II is argued that II Mr.. Mckinley
coniemplatcs any policy that would al
init of n reduction of General Merritts
forces in any way as result of the
peace negotiations lie would not direct
the return of all the transports not
needed for immediate Use to the United

refuting the sto?y that .the Cubans
were in league with the Spanish and
against the Americans. He says:
II will be one OF the first to pardon
the Spanlards for what they have

as men, but would be the last to
pardon or forgive the atrocities OF
Weyler, Valmaredo aud others TO the

ITO attempt to prohibit the Amer
lean people from exercising an influ'
ence In the affairs Of Cuba would be
foolish aud suicidal for Cubans.
American influence, far from being
harmful, is just what is wanted in
Cuba.

is plainly outlined, and 1t would be
foolish to sequestrate from America.
