SPANISH SPY SET FREE.
Mobbed in Atlanta and Severely
Beaten-CIaims to he Vanderbilt.

ATLANTA. GA, August 2O.-Joseph
Castellanos alias George Eduard Wander
bilt, arrested in Tampa, Fla. three
months ago as a Spanish spy and since
that time imprisoned at Fort Mcpherson,
was given his liberty. as were three other
suspects there to-day. The men quickly
separated. and Vanderbilt" clad in the
Cuban uniform which he wore when he
was arrested, came TO town. His recep-
ton here was so demonstrative that he
was soon placed in the Central Police
Station for safety, and his numerous
wounds were dressed there. E;e took his
departure under cover of darkness.
On reaching Atlanta, Vanderbilt" was
recognized by a crowd Of half dozen
drunken soldiers. They stopped him, but
he refused to be interviewed. The SOL
diers decided to take him by force, and
vanderbilt" took to his heels. This
urged the soldiers on. and they were
joined by lot of citizens, who pummel-
led the fleeing man freely. Vanderbilt
ran into a candy-factory at the corner
Of Alabama and Pryor streets. A large
crowd collected about the store, and when
the little man appeared at the door, with
two officers. who had been sent for, the
cry of Spanish spy" was set up, and it
did not take the mob long to add the cry
Of "Kill him. Shoot him." Hang him."
The noise served to bring others into the
procession, which swelled to large pro-
portions, and by the time the police-sta-
ton was reached, 1900 people were at the
heels of the officers. When the station
was reached the officers rushed the little
fellow into the guard-offlce, and the great
iron CRATES were quickly closed TO keep
the mob back Officers ran to the front
doors and stood guard at them.
"They turned me out this morning"
said Vanderbilt excitedly, land 1 am not
Spanish spy, but an American citizen
and a Cuban general. See, l have the
stars on my coat-sleeves to show my
rank in the army"
Vanderbilt was bleeding from three or
four wounds on his face and throat. One
soldier had cut at him With a knife and
left a bloody mark on his forehead.
Another had grabbed him by the throat
and left the print of the fingers.
He claims to be relative Of Corne-
Illus Vanderbilts, and says his mother is
AT present in New York.

POsT-BELLUM CHURCH QUESTIONS.
They Offer No DifricuIty, Says Arch
bjshop Ireland.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-Archbishop
Ireland, who has been I'm this city for
several days, left tonight. During his
stay he had a number Of conferences
with President Mckinley, with whom his
relations are of the most cordial charac-
ter The Archbishop has declined to
discuss the significance of his calls upon
the President. but ii has been generally
understood that he was acting in ;he
interest of the Catholic Church as TO its
protection in cur new possessions. Arch
bishop ireland dsmisses as without foun-
dation the statements that Church mat
ters are liable to cause discussions. To
the Associated Press tonight he made the
statement which follows:
"The Church question in our new pos
sessions offers no difficulty whatever.
Two principles are already settled by the
Constitution and laws of America. There
will be no union of Church and State,
such as is established by custom in GER
tain Catholic countries of Europe. There
will be a complete protection of all pro-
pertes and of all persons With such
principles Catholics in the United States
are satisfied. and Catholics in our new
possessions will be satisfied. The social
ed Church question need not be considered
by military or peace commissions. 1t is
fully regulated the moment the flag or
this country is raised over this territory.
1.-The people of our new possessions TN
derstand this matter very we'll L am sure,
and will Loyalty accept the situation. 1t
may not be very easy for them at first TO
adapt themselves in all cases to this sit
uation; but the embarrassments felt will
be but temporary. The people will soon
realize that 1t Is their duty 10 support re-
lgion by voluntary and personal contri-
buttons In the greater number of parish

sions is thoroughly organized; IL bears no
missionary or experimental aspect, but
has the full form and the full strength of
complete organization, and Is well pre-
pared to care for all her interests with
out the help OF State or charitable aid. IL
demands no favor, no priviege-naught
but liberty and legal protection OF the ma
tional and civil rights Of its members.
NO FIELD FOR MISSION WORK
Certain people who talk of those ter
ritories as fields for missionary effort from
the United States do not know what they
are talking about. They might, with as
much sense. organize missions for the
of the Catholics OF Washing |

PONCE. August 20-Night.-General
Miles returned to his headquarters here
this afternoon. He was greatly pleased

COMPLICATIONS AT HONGKONG.
Dewey's Dispntch-Boat Ordered ia
Lenye-This According to Law.

SAN FRANCISCO August pa spe-
cial from Hongkong says Consul-Gene-
raj Wildman has requested Of the Hong
kong authorities permission for the ships
of the American feet now at Manila 20
be allowed TO dock and repair here. The
question presents such serious complica-
lions that 1t had to be submitted to the
British home government for an answer.
Meanwhile. the harbor police ordered the
gurboat Zafiro which arrived here with
dispatches from General Merritt and
Admiral Dewey, to leave British waters
within twenty-four hours. The Governor
is much distressed at the situation.
NO SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE.
WASHINGTON, August 20.-The Navy
Department authorities discount the sig
nifcance given the report of the enforce
ment Of the neutrality laws at Hong
kong by ordering the Zafro from the har-
Dor and deferring permission Tor the
American fleet to dock there. Admiral
Dewey receatly received orders from Act
ing Secretary Allen TO report on his plans
for docking and repairing the ships OF
his feet. The cablegram sent him on
this subject gave only INSTRUCTIONS W
make an inquiry as to the most aValapie
means for attending 10 the repairs, which
are much needed. and to report as early
as possible. Admiral Dewey undoubtedly
Immediately set about negotiating to Sc
cure suitable place where the work
could be executed. and the request to the
authorities at Hongkong for permission
nrobably followed Immediately, and
doubtless was carried on the last trip or
the Zahro.
ACTION ACCORDING TO LAW
The action of the British harbor police
at Hongkong in ordering the cairo 70

laws. This Is the view taken by officials

dressed the conference. lie protested
against the establishment OF any gov
eminent in any OF the conquered
territory, unless with the free con-
sent of the governed, given by vote
at an election. He also opposed the ad-
mission Of Cuba and Porto Rico as States.
In conclusion, Mr.. Storey said:
I'VE have said that the native popula-
ton Of Hawaii was not entitled to vote
upon the vital question which we decided
against their will; that by reason Of their
color, or race, or ignorance they may
be governed without their consent Ii
will be far more difficult hereafter to in
sist that the colored voters of the South
are entitled to rights denied to the colored
voters Of Hawaii. and so that the equality
OF right, which is the first of rights, is
jeopardiZed within our own borders, and
problems which we thought the civil
war had settled are reopened 10 fresh
and dangerous controversy"

sion. He expressed himself as an ex-

States spreading it's power and control
over the islands recently acquired by con-
quest.
After a number OF other addresses,
resolutions were unanimously adopted APP
proving President McI<inley's course. and
declaring that the newly-acquired terri
tory should not be returned TO Spain, but
that as soon as the people of the new
region are able TO govern themselves,
they should be permitted TO do so, the
United States retaining only the neces-
sary naval stations; i'm the mean time,
the United States to control the islands.

In short address, heartily congratulated
Admiral Sampson and the officers and
men under him on their heroic work in
Cuban waters. and extended the welcome
and freedom Of the city to them. Admi-
raj Sampson responded briefly.
Admiral Sampson. looking far better
than when the war commenced, is very
glad to get home Speaking of his crews,
and especially the crews OF the Indiana,
Iowa, and New York. who have had no
shore liberty for seven months, he said:
They have borne their privations in a
manner beyond all praise"
And summing up what has been one Of
the most successful and important naval
campaigns in the history Of the world,
Sampson said:
1.-The navy has been very fortunate We
have, l think, made no mistakes"
How much Sampson contributed to the
success Of the war, the efficacy OF his ad-
vice and the splendid manner in which
he directed the largest feet ever under
the command OF one man in the history
known or fully appreciated until the his
tory Of this war is written.
The health OF the feet is excellent. The
ships need docking sadly-the Indiana,
Iowa, and New York especially. The first
named will probably require a thorough
overhauling of her machinery. One Of her
condensers became disabled on the trip
north.
Shortly before leaving Guantanamo har-
Dor for the United States the Brooklyn
ran on a mudbank, whore she stuck for
twentyfour hours, but was hauled off

Glen Ridge, n. j., tonight. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Sampson and the
other members of his family. He was en-

RETALIATION AGAINST SPANISH.
War Threatened in Porto Rico
spaniards DEMONSTRATION


PONCE. PORTO RICO, August 19-De-
layed in t"ansmisson.)-A war of retail
alton against the Spanish residents of the
island within the American lines is
threatened; retaliation for the horrible
outrages committed by the Spanish troops
at GALES, where over eighty persons are
said to have been macheted by the sol
diers. The revolving details Of the
butchery of men and women. the assaults
on young girls, and nameess mutila-
tons have stirred a cry for vengeance.
Early this morning the natives burned
the town of Gotta. seven miles from here.
The Spanish residents fed. Throughout
the surrounding country the Spaniards
are terror-stricken, and are appealing to
the Americans for protection. The shops
kept by Spaniards here, which were open
ed after the signing of the peace protocol,
have been closed again. through fear Of
rioters.
MYSTERIES SUPPRESSED.
To-days editions of two papers, which
Historically demanded vengeance and the
expulsion Of all Spanish-born residents
were suppressed by the military authorl-
ties. who are doing all I'm their power
to allay the fears OF the Spanish inhaoi-
tants.
Captain Evans. the provost marshal,
with two companies Of the Nineteeth In
fantry at his command, has doubled the
provost guard, but the military have diff
flculty in preventing individual cases or
persecution.
The natives who are fomenting the
trouble. are of the lower class, and many
OF them are criminals. Over twenty-five
of the ringleaders in the disturbances
have been arrested.

Reference to Return of Surrendered
Arms when Spanish Evncunte. cor
the American Army Evncuutes--
Reported Insurgent Raids In Cuba.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 2O.-Of-
fetal announcement of the terms of the
equalization agreed on at Manila reached
the War Department this evening, in a
dispatch from General Merritt. 1t was
the first notification, officially. of the
nature of the stipulations, and embraced
the complete terms in six articles. There
is considerable difference OF opinion as 10
the exact significance Of the terms of
capitulation, but the best opinion obtain
able tonight construed the language TO
embrace all Spanish possessions in the
Philippines, and not Manila alone. While
the preamble specifically cites the func-
tions OF the commission to be to deter
mine the details Of the equalization of the
city and defences Of Manila and it's SUI
burbs. and the Spanish forces stationed
therein 1t is pointed out that the word
suburb" is an elastic expression, and
the language of Article l., stating that
the Spanish troops, both European and
native, capituate with the city and de-
fences, goes to emphasize this construc-
ton. This is the view expressed by War
Department officials, and considered in
this light, goes to confirm the press dis
patches stating that the capitulation
involves all Of the Philippines.
UNUSUAL PROVISION.
One unusual provision is embraced in
the reference TO the return of surren-
dered arms the article providing for the
return when the Spanish evacuate cor
the American army evacuate." This,
however, is formal expression, and Sec
rotary Alger tonight showed that there
need be no alarm on that score, by his
statement, 'There IS no thought of the
Amert ans evacuating."
All unsettled points in the terms Of the
surrender will have 10 be finally deter
mined by the President though there is
no doubt that he will approve whatever
agreement General Merritt makes. The
terms make no reference TO the harbor,
and strictly provide tor land occupation.
Admiral Dewey, however, has made no
report OF the terms.
No present difficulty will be experienced
in feeding the 1900 Spanish troops on the
island.
RAIDS IN CUBA.
The reported insurgent raids In Cuba
caused considerable comment in official
circles, but the view was taken at the
War Department that the raids did not
indicate a purpose on the part Of the
Cubans to disregard the suspension of
hostilities. 1t is presumed that the raids
occurred before the Cubans were aware
Of the armistice arranged by the United
States authorities.
