snnnI.h Cabinet nreetlnr.

MADRID, Aug. 27.-The cabinet was
in session again yesterday. Senior Sa-
gasta said the government was princi-
pally occupied with the position Of the
troops that had capitulated at Manila.
It would be better, he thought, to trans
port them TO the Visayas island than to
bring them home, but the question
must be decided by agreement with the
American government 1t depended
upon whether or not the troops were
considered prisoners Of war.
El Heraldo asserts that in view of the
existing difficulties regarding the ap-
pointment of the peace commission, it
is possible the cortes may be called up
on to make nominations.
Official reports from Manila are to
the effect that all the officials residing
IN the capital are in good health. There
Is no communication between Manila
and the provinces.
A steamer arrived at Bilbao yester-
lay. bringing the crews of Spanish mer-
chant vessels which were captured by

PONCE, Porto Rico Aug 27.-A del

flooded the rivers. and the bridge be-
tween the town and port was destroyed.
This prevented General Miles attend
ing a reception given in his honor by
Porto Ricans at the leading club last
night and will probably cause much in
convenience in the transportation Of
troops who are returning home. Sew
eral camps were washed out.
General Stone, who has Just returned

that a state of anarchy exists in the
country districts.
The withdrawal Of the Spanish troops
gives the guerrillas free play. Last
night a force of irregulars sacked and
burned a large plantation near Ad-
juntas.
General Stone says that the people
are terrorized and are praying for
American protection. The Spanish for
merly covered the country with a
mounted patrol. Our forces have not
yet been put in charge.
The natives and the Spaniards are
busy cutting each others throats Cen

Twenty thousand stands Of
