The question has been raised here as TO

Senator Daniel. on alighting from the

greetings exchanged are said by eye-wit-
nesses to have been very formal. though
1t Is well known that a warm friendship
existed between them when both were in

GENERAL RELIEF PREVAILS.
When the facts We're known on the 1ol-
lowing day the rise was maintained. The
news that General Blanco had re-
ceived dispatches from NJ. Cambon, the
French Ambassador at Washington, de-
finiteIy declaring that the peace prehml-

with lightning rapidity throughout the
city, and there was general rellet at the

Despite the fact that the rumors OF the
signing OF the protocol were confirmed,
news came almost simultaneously that
on Friday last, about noon, an American
boat flying flag of truce carried an

Mr.. Rysn's Bill Contains Serious
Charges Against the President.


ASHEvILLE. n. c., August 16.-Argu-
ments In the question of ordering the In
spection and examination of books and
accounts of the Seaboard Airline in the
suit brought by Thomas F. Ryan, Of New
York. largest individual shareholder, were
made here to-day before Judge Simonton,
of the United States Circuit Court. The
suit had been in progress nearly year,
and il involves control of the Seaboard
Airline. Serious accusations have been
made by Mr.. Ryan in his bill, and to-day s
hearing was marked by the submission OF
an affidavit by Ryan and supplemented by
one from the former general manager OF
the road. Mr. John II. Winder, in which
RYAN sWears he is prepared to prove that
President Hoffman is making large profits
for himself which he could and should
have made for the railroad company; that
he unlawfuly and in violation of his
duty as president received commissions

pany, and that Hoffman and General
Counsel Watts have during number of
years been in the habit Of disbursing large
sums of money. amounting 10 nearly $lO0,-
900, for purposes prohibited by law.
DENIAL OF THE CHARGES.
General Counsel Watts. who was pres
ent at the hearing, denied the charges,
and his counsel asked for their suppress
| sion. because they were indefinite.
This morning argument was delivered
by counsel for Ryan in which he made
a bitter attack on President Hoffman,
his supply agency, and his alleged pur-
pose of perpetuating his control of the
| Seaboard Company.
| a. c. King, of Atlanta, counsel for Hof-
| man, asked that the suit be dismiss
| ed, claiming that the asked-for examina-
| ton of books was unnecessary to the
| case. The argument is not yet ended.

WASHINGTON, August 16.-The Presi-
dent to-day rendered to Senator Allison,
of Iowa, an appointment as member OF
the Peace Commission. Senator Allison,
however, could not see his way clear TO
accept the position.
Senator Allison, in acknowledging the
honor offered. explained that the interests
Of his State in the Senate and his desire
to continue his former vigorous parucipa-
ton in the shaping of legislation in that
body and other duties, would preclude his
taking up the arduous duties at Paris
which would demand so much time and
serious work.
1t is understood that the President has
rendered to Senator German, of Maryland,
place on the Peace Commission, and
that he has declined the offer. The Presi-
dent now, II is stated, is looking for an
other Democratic senator 10 take the
place of Senator German.

MADRID. August 16.-The government
does not think the United States will try
to make capital out of the fall OF Manila,
but the papers express much anxiety re-
garding that point. Tho Spaniards are
pleased with the fact that Admiral
Dewey excluded the insurgents from
Manila, and are hopeful that the friction
thus indicated will weigh with the United
States In the settlement Of the Philip
pine problem.
The government has requested the Gu
ban Autonomist Cabinet to remain in
Office and dispatch the governmental
business until settlement has been ar
ranged.

American gunboat Mangrove fired eighty

The land batteries and ginboats in the

gunboat that the protocol had been
