PEACE. CHANGES SITUATION
DEPARTMENT AWAITS WORD FROM MERRITT.
Unless He Asks for Achievements the Men Now at San Francisco Will Not Be Sent to
 Manila.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald sends the following A cable dispatch went to General Merritt last night rom the War Department asking IL he needed any more troops. The inquiry from the Government was prompted by the belief that the troops already in Manila would be sufficient for gar rison purposes. General Merritt has with him now 11,000 troops, and 4OO0 more are on the way. The present plan, therefore, of the administration seems to be that the 5000 which were originally intended to be part of the expedition for which Secretary Alger urged General Merriam few days ago to provide transports shall not now be sent to Manila. It is not supposed un- der present circumstances that Gene ral Merritt in his reply will ask for more troops
 I asked Secretary Alger to-day if he would point out to me just about what the situation would be in Manila under the protocol as far as it concerned Spanish and American troops. l re- minded him that no provision had been made as to the manner of evacuation of Manila by Spanish troops, and asked him what would be their status in the interim.
 He told me that In the first place there was no doubt that the Spanish army under orders from the Madrid Government would cease hostilities and

gpeclal plspatoh to The call.

BOSTON, Aug. 13.-A New Orleans special to the Transcript says The transport Berlin arrived yesterday. There is considerable importance at tached to her voyage. Just as she was preparing to leave Santiago there came a rush message from Shafter to wait for four passengers.
 The quartet proved to be Colonel Dick, Captains Mason and McKittrick (the latter Shafters California son-in- law appointed from civil life) and Dr. Goodfeuow They are the bearers of dispatches to Mckinley and Alger. Os tensibly their mission is to acquaint the authorities with the true condition of affairs in Santiago. They will show that the round robin" was written with Shafter's knowledge. consent and aid. That the state of the troops was really desperate and that the object of the combined appeal was to bring speedy release and not to reflect upon the War Department That is only one of their missions, and will serve to satisfy Roosevelt and other officers who are supposed to have melted re- sentiment by talking too plainly.
 Dick is a political leader in the Ohio stalwart counsels, and it is safe to say that he is charged with matters of much more confidential and momentous bearing
 The public has all alonP been led to believe that Lee was intended to rep resent American arms and diplomacy in Cuba after the struggle. There has been no definite promise and no authorized announcement-just sort of general understanding, but 1t IS misunderstanding. Shafter has been the administration candidate from the very start, and his assuming the re- sponsibility of complaints construed into reflections upon Alger's manage ment will not affect his title. It will only serve to make him the head and front of the offending and make it easier for him to do all the explaining properly and aid his popularity with out injuring the administration. When Dick leaves Washington again the whole question probably will have been settled, the patronage decided and other little private matters arranged which could not we'll be trusted to mail or cable.
 What will become of Lee is another question. He had his own place as Consul General on plain or practical American lines without regard to party, and when placed in command of the large camp at Jacksonville proved himself equally capable.

 It Is true" said Secretary Alger, that we may be called upon to help sustain the Spanish army now In Man fla, but the soldiers would be practi- cally regarded as our prisoners, and United States troops will be as much in authority in Manila pending nego- tfations between now and the treaty of peace as the United States army in Porto Rico or Cuba

PARIS, Aug. 13.-As to the situation in the far east, there Is a tone of satis- faction noticeable in such papers as comment upon this matter because England has apparently received check The trouble in the east is in fact the dominant note in the French press now that the Spanish American war is sinking into the background for the time being. Most French papers devote their leading articles to the situation in China, and there is but one opinion-namely that Russia and Eng land will measure swords before long. Both countries are getting themselves into positions whence it will be impos- sible for them to withdraw or go for ward, and that means war.
 The Soleil is one of the serious roy alist papers here. Its leading article on Thursday put French opinion in a very decided form This article IS headed "The Giant" It's subject is the extraordinary growth of the United States foreign commerce during the year that closed July l.
 This enormous increase over last year. says the Soliel, shows that war has not prevented the expansion of the United States On the contrary this war is only a prelude to the tragedy that is going to be played upon the in ternational stage, in which the United States will have the principal role. Spain is the first obstacle the United States has encountered upon the road to their development. They have swept it away with as much ease as a cat would kill a mousse We believe the ominous cloud that is moving across from the Philippines seems about to break in the far east"
 In fact, most of the papers here ap- pear to think a conflict is inevitable. Although not always openly expressed, underlying most of the comment it is plain there is an idea that the Eng fish and the Americans will stand shoulder to shoulder in any complica- tfon that may arise in China

 CADIz, Aug. 13-The so-called flying squadron, consisting of Alfonso XIII, Buenos Ayres and Ciudad de Cadiz, in command of Captain Barraza, is being prepared to go to Southampton to meet Cervera's men. It is unknown yet at what Spanish port Cervera will land. The French steamer Cheribon, char tered for the repatriation of the Span ish troops, has sailed for Santiago, where she is due on August 23 She has accommodations for more than 1000 troops.
 This town is quite gay again. Peo- pie are organizing fetes to raise their dropping spirits and to attract visitors to the city. The gates, which have been closed since the war, are now re- opened and remain open all night. The fleet has been continuing it's target ex- ercises. The results are fair.

SAMPSON AND SCHLEY
 ORDERED TO NEW YORK

 going Repairs.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Admirals Sampson and Schley will sail to New York on their respective hagships. which have been ordered to that point. The orders issued last night covered the f1agships of both admirals, but did not specifically state that these high officers would go to New York. It is said at the Navy Department that no special consideration has yet been given the disposition of these officers and the commandof the various battle ships and cruisers during the period of the repair of the warships, but the off, cers will probably remain with their ships, visiting Washington occasionally on personal business.

He has made no mistake of word or deed, and it will be very hard for the administration to shelve him. Even Bryan's presence in the camp has not produced complications or dimmed Lees leadership.
 The plan may be to give Lee a position in Havana with Shafter in general con trol and then there may be another story. In the meantime the various commands assigned to Lee have fought off being detached for any sort of duty. They all expect that he and they will be sent to Cuba within the next three weeks and they will all go with him, fever or no fever.

Montreal, Quebec. Jan. 1S.-NOwite-
kuhonwake CLouis Two Canoel. who
was recently elected chief of the Iro-
quois Indians at Caughnawaga. is pre-
pairing to go to England TO make per-
sonal call on her majesty. Queen Vic
toria
His object is To secure for mis- tribe
a renewal of the American treaty Of
1873. by which his people can cross the
border without paying duty on their
manufactures.
There are about 1000 Indians on the
Caughnawaga reserve, and they depend
entirely upon the sale of their beads,
bark and chamois goods for their live
lihood. Owing to the great quantity
turned out the American market has
been relied upon to such an extent that
the tribe is now almost in poverty be-
cause of the shutting off of this market
by customs duty of SO per cent.
In 1873 the American customs depart
ment agreed to allow the goods to be
entered free, and this agreement has
been in force from then until a few
weeks ago. when, without an hour $
warning, the customs agents at the
points crossed by the statesmen from
Caughnawaga seized everything in
sight. and gloom settled over the re-
serve. The new chief will carry the
story of his peoples woes to the throne
of England.
