Merritt Tells Him to Camp Ten Miles
From Manila.

From Manila.
New York, Aug. 21.-A cable to the
Herald from Manila, via Paris, says:
The city is quiet. The banks are now
open and business has been resumed.
Armed rebels are not allowed in the
city. Major General Merritt has order
ed that the armed rebel forces retire
ten miles from Manila within three
days. Representatives of Aguinaldo
agreed to these terms yesterday, ask
ing on their part for employment under
the American government for the lead
ing rebels. which was granted.
The rebel forces declare that If
Aguinaldo orders them to retire they
will refuse and will attack Manila.
The result wSuld be disastrous to them
as Manila is amply protected by 10000
American troops.
The custom house, administration
bureau, postotiice and port are now ad-
ministered by American officers. Gus
toms dues on goods detained in the
custom house amount to two million
Mexican dollars.
The treasury, which has been hand
ed over to General Merritt, contains a
large amount
Aguinaldo has sent rebel troops to
attack IloilO and has dispatched agents
to induce the southern islands to rebel.
In llOilO there are 1000 Spanish troops.
The health of the American troops Is
excellent.
The American transports Peru and
Puebla, having on board General Otis
and General Hughes, arrived here a.
o'clock this morning. There was no
serious illness on board either of the
vessels. +.
Sergeant Bernsen of the Thirteenth
Minnesota has succumbed to wounds
received in the final assault on the
city.
Privates Pratt, Dickson and Paden
have died from typhoid fever. All the
wounded are doing well and will re-
cover.

Is quartered in the best suburb Of Ma

AUSTRIA WAKING UP.
Il Observes That tho United States Ia =
Great Power

Vienna, Aug. 22.-The coNrt and the
government here are watching with
much interest the development Of the
military and territorial policy Of the
United States. The news that the Am
erican government is planning to build
fifteen new warships Is widely dis
cussed. From the fashionable health
:csort of Ischi, $50 miles from this city,
learn that court gossip looks with fa-
vor on the recognition Of American
prowcss and position by raising the
Austro-H Hungarian representative Mt
Washington to ambassadorial rank.
This is thought proper in view of the
fact that the United States Is showing
unmistnknble signs of developing into
q great military power. Such course
would be followed naturally by the
promotion OF Charlemagne Tower, the
American minister to the court Mt VI
emma, to the same rank.
Inasmuch us such action on the part
Of Austria would remove the stigma of
commercinllsm, which those unfriend-
iy to the American republic have
sought to attach to 1t, the Austrian
court being the most exclusive In all
Europe, 1t Is to be expected that Spain
would take umbrage were the distinc-
ton accorded at this critical stage Of
negotiations. Therefore, the change, IL
It is made, will not come until peace
shall have been concluded satisfactor-

To, Cultivation In China.

According to the consular report
from Foochow, the cultivation of tea
in that district has ceased to be re-
munerative, and the export Is now
but one-third of what 1t was twenty
years ago. No reason is given for this
decline in the industry, and we are left
to assume that it is caused partly by
the competition of India and Ceylon,
and possibly in part by the discovery
of certain tricks of trade ut which the
heather Chinese Is an adept. But
whatever the reasons may be, much
land formerly devoted to ten is now
going out of cultivation, and the cur
ing houses are being offered for sale
to the missionaries. The report In
question tells us that the export trade
is of great Importance to China, for
the Internal demand for tea is not great,
The majority are content with brew
from teadust, and when tea is not read
lily available other leaves take its
place. Here in Britain the consump-
ton of tea is about six pounds a head
of the population, but in China 1t is
only half that, even among the small
faction Of people who are tea-drinkers.

FIFTEEN NEW wARsHlPs.
Naval Board Decides Upon n Big Addition
to the Sen Fighting Force.

Naval Board Decides Upon n BIG Aduition
to tho Sen Fighting Force.
Washington. d. c.. Aug. 20.-A naval
program for presentation to Congress,
involving the Immediate construction Of
fifteen wnrships, was adopted to-day
by the naval board of experts to
whom the subject had been referred
by Secretary Long. 1t provides for
three sea-going barbctte-turret battle
ships of 1900 tons displacement and
a minimum of eighteen and one-half
knots speed when the vessels are lond-
ed to their deepest draft. or an aver
age speed above nineteen knots under
ordinary cruising conditions; three
first-closs nrmored cruisers Of 1900
tons and twenty-five knots speed, SIM
liar to the Maine type but highly Inn
proved, and for six protected cruisers
of $500 tons and sixteen knots speed.
The reduced speed of these ships,
which is uniformly about two knots
less than proposed Mt the preliminary
meeting of the board yesterday, was
brought about by the desire to secure
unprecedented range of action, on nc-
count of the increased responsibilities
of the United States In the Pacific and
the certainty that these vessels or most
of them will be required to make up
the fleet In that ocean. The sacrifice
of speed to endurance was advisaDly
made with a view to securing vessels
of Mt least 5000 knots radius, or cnpa-
Bile of stenming straight away from
San Francisco to Manila or Samoa.

sence of Ambassador Cambon. who
bore notification from the Spanish

rather than with the military question
of the Spanish evacuation OF Cuba. He
is named, 1t is believed In order to car
ry out Spain's desire to have an under

the island, being intimately familiar
with the questions of the civil admin

Cuban treasury he Is also familiar with
questions affecting the Cuban debt.

AWFUL STATE IN SANTIAGO.
Spanish Soldiers Arc Dying so Fast That
It Is impossible to Bury Them.


Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 16. $50 p. m.
The Eighth Illinois arrived this fore
noon and will garrison and police the
city.
The bodies of the dead Spaniards are
to be crematGd. Over 700 have been
burned SO far. This afternoon seventy
were to be burned. Over two rails n
dozen bodies are stretched and across
them another dozen, and about thirty
corpses are stacked in an immense
funeral pile ten feet high. The pile is
then saturated with kerosene and the
torch applied. A fall Of rain put out
the fire, causing the bodies to be only
half burned. Around the pile lay
twenty-five collins containing corpses
in state of decompositions. Several
naked bodies We're strcwn on the
ground In condition of putrefactiOn.
Altogether about seventy unburied and
unconsumed bodies We're there. The
stencil was terrible. This happened at
a cemetery within the city limits. The
authorities and the cemetery officials
say it is impossible to get men to work
at the cremation. Wages of n dollar
day prove no inducement to the ma
tives to work at the gruesome toll.
The unconsumed bodies will be left
on the earth until tomorrow, when
fine weather may help the work of Gre
nation. These seventy corpses repre-
sent two days dead from the Spanish
camp.
The danger to the population from
the stencil, the presence of the buz-
yards, vultures and flies is incalcula-
BILE.

MAY DELAY RATIFICATION.
Tho President May Not submit tho Treaty
at Regular Session.

at Regular Session.
Washington, ID. c., Aug. PA prom
inent Republican senator, who has dis
cussed foreign affairs with the Presl-
dent since the suspension of hostilities,
expresses the opinion tonight that the
peace treaty with Spain may not be
submitted for ratification ut the next
session Of Congress. He says the alb
sence of a well-defined policy toward
the Philippines compels the President
to proceed with much care and delib-
Grafton, and that he will be cautious not
to commit the government to plan Of
action that will not meet the support
of n majority of our people. The sena-
tor declares the President Is aware Of
the existence Of strong sentiment In
the Senate In opposition to territorial
expansion which may develop enough
votes to defeat the ratification Of a
treaty providing for the annexation OF
the Philippines.
It is for this reason that he be-
lieyes should the President be con-
yinced that public sentiment requires
the annexation of the islands, the
treaty may be withheld until after
March 4th, when the Senate Will reor-
ganize with a larger Republican vote.
He says that an extra session Is almost
certain to be called, as the regular bus
iness of the short session-the appro-
priation bills and other legislation that
must be considered-wlll consume most
of the three months and not leave suf-
ficient time for the reorganization of the
army, the enactment Of laws for Ha-
wall and Porto Rico and the consider
ation of other matters growing out of
the war which must be disposed of ut
the earliest possible moment.

No Growing noo., or. Allowed.

The proposition is seriously made by
the well-known artist and naturalist,
Harrison Weir, of London, that roos-
ters kept in city back yards must be
muzzled. He hns invented n wire ar
rangement which, he says, effectually
prevents growing, owing to the inabiI-
ity of the wretched bird to raise It's
head and open its beak. He gravely
asks that legislation to this effect be
supplied, presumably by Her Majesty's
Parliament.
