The President believes that the most
serious problem which the peace com
with is the Philippines Before tho
commission assemblies it is hoped the
affairs of Cuba and Porto Rico will be
found in such process of adjustment as
to leave little for the commission to
consider under that head. The fact
that the Philippines will present the

full attention. Several suggestions
have been made as to what shall be

garrison Manila and the ground which
the United States for the present will

The final determination as to the

Element of the government of Cuba are
problems, but the impression prevails
that these islands will become quite
rapidly Americanized, and every en-
enlargement for them to do so will be
given. Porto Rico will be under mill
tary control for the present. Cuba
will be similarly governed, but it is
probable that American reforms in the
matter of government will be such
that the people of Cuba will see the adj
vantage of becoming annexed to the
United States. There has been little
doubt about soon settling the transfer
of Porto Rico, aud the reception which
the American troops have received in
that island is a justification for the be-
lief. Porto Rico will be treated as an
American possession. Military post.

wherever troops are stationed and at
such other points as may be demanded
by the interests of Americans and the
people of the island, if the present OIL

will be taken in Cuba, but this is likely
to be delayed, as the immediate re-

The United States-Canadian Commission.
The joint commission appointed by
the United States and Great Britain to
consider various matters of Importance
between the L. ). and Canada, will
meet at Quebec on August %. Among
the matters TO be considered will be
the question of seal hunting in the Be-

fishing regulations on both Atlantic
and Pacific coasts: establishing the
Alaska-Canadiap boundary; transpor-
tation of merchandise between two
points in one country through terri
tory of the other; alien labor laws;
mining rights of citizens of one coun-
try in the territory of the other; recip-
rocal customs duties on the products
of the soil or industry of each country;
a revision of the agreement of 1877, re-
speeding naval vessels on the Great
lakes. so that. while the argument
may not be wholly abrogated, it will
be so amended as to permit lake ship
builders to compete with plants along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the
construction of small war vessels,
which need not necessarily receive
their ornaments until they reach tide
water; for completion of the marking
of the frontier line by land or water;
provisions for the conveyance of per-
sons in the lawful custody of the Off
GERS of one country through the terri
tory of the other: reciprocity in wreck
ing and salvage rights.

point. More than 800 Saniards were
killed and the Cubans lost 100 men.

Large Cnmps Breaking Up.

Most of the troops now in camp at
Chickamauga, Fernandina, Tampa,
Jacksonville and other southern camps
are to be moved to other points, the
object being to break up the large
camps because their size makes them
unhealthy. One division of the First
army corps is ordered from Chicka-
manga to Knoxville. This includes
the Second and Sixth Ohio and 3lst
Michigan. Another Chickamauga di-
vision goes to Lexington, Ky, and it is
probable that both will march to their
destinations. Seven regiments will be
transferred from Fernandna to Hunts
Vile, Ala, including the 32d Michigan,
Third and Fifth Ohio. The First Ohio
and Fifth L. 5. cavalry are ordered
from Tampa to Montauk, l.. l. Nine
Mt Manassas. Va. and until recently at
Camp Alger, will be transferred to
Middletown, Pa.
Secretary Alger is quoted as saying
that few if any volunteer troops will

will be required in Cuba. another force
will hold Porto Rico and large num-
Der will be needed to guard against

LONDON. June 6-The United States
ambassador, Colonel John Hay, called
at the Foreign Office to-day and pre-
sented evidence of Spanish officials
making Canada the base of operations,
and protested against the continuance
Of this practice.
The protest is based upon the fact
that it would be breach of neutrality
for Great Britain to permit her terri
tory to be used for such hostile pur-
poses Colonel Hay also recently drew
the attention of the Foreign Office to
the small expectations from Great Brit
ain of war munitions for Spain.

RESTED.
MONTREAL. June 6.-Lieutenant
SdITdIZd anu 06nOT Du Bose were ar
rested at half-past 4 o'clock this after
noon on a capias, in which it is alleged
that they were about to leave the coun-
try. The capias was taken out in a
suit for $50, 900 damages for defama-
ton of character entered by Detective
Kellert. The arrest was made at the
residence of the Spanish Consult General
and the prisoners were Immediately
taken before Judge Matthew, who re-
leased them in $1,000 bail, which was
promptly furnished, the authorities de-
clining to say by whom. The writ is
returnable in six days, and no action
can be taken until the end of that time,
unless the prisoners consent to a speedy
hearing.
In the meantime a new element is in
troduced into the case. The bodies of
Carranza and Du Bose are the property
of Detective Kellert until his claim is
satisfied or the case dissolved. The
United States authorities are desirous
Of having Carranza and Du Bose leave
Canada, a thing they cannot do without
forfeiting their bail. AS it stands
now, it looks very much as IL Detective
Kellert had made it impossible for the
Canadian Government to order the
Spaniards to leave the country until
at least the capias has been dissolved.
OF course Du Bose and Carranza might
jump their bail, but their present desire
is to remain in Canada.

George Dixon Gets the Decision
Over Eddy Santry.

NEW YORK. June G.-George Dixon,
the hardy colored boxer, gained a deci-
sion over Eddy Santry Of Chicago be-
fore the Lenox Athletic Club here to-
night. They fought twenty clean and
scientific rounds. in which Santry
proved himself to be clever ring gen.
eral. His defensive work was admir-
able, and he was very shifty and clev-
erly blocked many of Dixon's fearful
leads. Both were comparatively fresh
at the end of the twentieth round, and
while the decision of Referee Charley
White was a just one it did not give
general satisfaction.
Neither man went to the floor dur
ing the twenty rounds. Dixon began
the fight by rushing, and the first round
was all Dixon's. He landed twice on
the head. once on the wind and twice
on the ribs. without receiving blow in
return. After the first round. however,

himself. although Dixon continued the
aggressor. In only one round, the sixth,
did the Chicago boy appear to have any
advantage over Dixon, but he drew the
only blood in the eleventh round, when
Dixon's eye began to bleed, after Santry
had landed a hard right on the face.
Kid Mccoy was at the ringside, and
he informed matchmaker O'Rourke that
he had injured one of his legs while
training. O'Rourke said the Mccoy
Choynsh bout, which was to have
taken place before this club on the 9th
of this month, would have to be post
poned in consequence, and that a bout
between Dixon and Ben Jordan of Eng
land would be substituted. Mccoy and
O'Rourke will meet Choynski's repre-
sentatives tomorrow, when another
date will be arranged for the men to
