SHERMAN STATUE DELAYED.
No Progress Made on Public Memor
 ial Provided for Two Years Ago.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The "Sher- man. statue, over the award of which there was more intense feeling than perhaps ever has been aroused by any other government contract, still re- mains a mystery. Although almost two years have elapsed since the con
 tract was awarded to MT. Carl Rohl- smith. and during that time a finely equipped atelier building has been erected on the White lot, in anticipa- ton of the requirements of the gov ernment monument, no step has yet been taken, as far as known, toward the completion of the statue. The magnitude and importance of the work, and the fact that it is one of the three public memorials for the execution of which congress has made special and muniffcent appropriations, make it a matter of deep interest to the public, and it is to be hoped that before long it will be possible to obtain some def1- mite knowledge as to what progress, if any. has been made toward it's comple- ton. = .;.I-71,..:

A PART OFUS NOW.
Hawaii Was Formally Annexed or
 August I2.

San Francisco, Aug. 20.-The steam er Glenfarg arrived from Hong Kong via Honolulu today and brings the following Hawaiian advices to the As Sociated Press:
 Honolulu, Aug. II.
 Tomorrow will be an eventful day in the history of Hawaii. At fifteen minutes before noon the formal ratification between the governments of the United States and Hawaii by which the Newlands annexation reso- lution will be made operative will take place. With the exchange of rati- fications and the hoisting of the flag, the sovereignty of the United States over these islands commences. The date and time was arranged after several conferences had been held be- tween United States Minister Sewall and the Hawaiian government. The delay in raising the flag caused much dissatisfaction

Washington, Aug. 20.-The mere
 matter of selecting men to serve on the peace commission and the two mili- tary commissions provided for in the peace protocol, important as it may
 appear, was after all very simple duty when the abundance of material from which selection could be made was considered. But the formulation of the policy which shall be adopted for their guidance after the newly ac- quired possessions Lave been formally conveyed to the United States is what gives the president concern.
 With regard to Porto Rico compara- lively little difficulty is anticipated The people of that island as whole are higher order, morally and intel lectualiy, than those of Cuba. In the
 latter case it is feared the large turbu- lent element in the population will give much trouble and interpose in 5uperable obstacles to the reformation
 by the United States and the opinion is very generally held in official cir cles that stable government can be established and maintained only by extending permanently the authority of the United States over the island. | The head of the Cuban junta here, Senor Palma, Gin the name of the Gu , han provisional government" has ac- certed the armistice proclaimed by
 the president Of the United States, and
 has teiegraphed the president of the 1 Cuban republic recommending the sus pension of hostilities by the insur-
 gent How far the insurgent leaders will follow the directions
 If their civil officers remains to be seen. if they disregard the armistict
 he United States will be compelled to 1 proceed against them. But, while tn. hope is entertained that no trouble will arise with the insurgents pending
 the arnistice and the withdrawal of i the last Of the Spanish troops from the l island, there is reason for grave ap- 1 orehersion in regard to the probable
 conduct e the insurgents when the is i and is turned over to the authority Of i he United States and later when the i effort is made to establish a stable
 government and create an independen:
 state.
 1 The indications are that the whole i island will be divided into military dis tricts and that an officer of the army
 with a sufficient force Of United States troops will be assigned as governor for each of the districts CT geographical
 provinces It is also probable that
 military governor-general will be
 named, who will be military man

IT WILL COST A MILLION.
Peace Commissions Not So Costly
 as War, But They Come High.

Washington, Aug 2o-Although
 peace commissions are by no means so costly as war they come pretty high. An official of the state depart
 ment has been making an estimate of
 the probable expense of the Paris com-
 mission, and he runs it up very close to million dollars. The salaries of
 members alone will make very large item of expense. The amount is not fixed by law and a special approprfa- tion will be necessary when congress
 meets
 Precedent demands liberality in the treatment of special plenipotentiaries Their compensation will probably con- sist of lump sum, and according to the state department statistician re- ferred to, it will not be less than $25,- GOO each. Besides, all their personal expense will be defrayed by the gov ernment America does not pay the ordinary living expenses of ministers or ambassadors but in the case of spe- cial envoys it is customary to do so. This precedent was set as far back as
 revolutionary times, when Benjamin Franklin's somewhat luxurious Paris ian establishment was kept up at the expense of the struggling colonists. Great social demands will be made on the members of the commission and it will probably cost them an addi- tional s25.000 each to live in the style
 and dignity demanded by their posi- tion and environment Thus quar- ter of a millio-, dollars of expenses may be foreseen before pen is put to pa
 per. Then will come the salaries of private secretaries, clerks, stenog- raphers, messengers, etc. The ready reckoner of the state department jots
 down a trifle over $5o,00O for this pur- pose.
 The president will be in constant communication with the commission
 CTS by cable and the tolls will reach enormous proportions. These will be the great items Of expense and the
 thousand and one smaller items will send the total up as has been said in ithe neighborhood of million.

and a man whose ability and eXpeF1-
 ence, both in civil and military affairs will justify his selection for this i'm
 portant place. The prevailing opinion is that General Fitzhugh Lee will fe selected for this office
 The Philippine question is also caus- ing the president great concern. The
 questions to be considered involve nos only the determination of the control and form of government of the islands, but the settlement of other questions that may arise and that may affect our relations with European governments
 In view of the great interests to be de termined, the president will exercise
 more than his ;ual caution in selset- ing the personnel of the peace com mission.
 It is known that Secretary Day has
 been decided upon as the head of tho commission, but who the remaining four commissioners will be is un- known Tn speculating upon the com-. position of the commission statements have been made that certain gentle men would not be selected because x
 one or another adverse influence. Thus l t has been said tha. certain men

The democratic committee is preparing to criticize the method by which the administration has carried on the war, and especially the appoint ment of officers for the volunteer army, but at this time there is little disposi- tion to criticize the acquisition of ter ritory which will come to this country as a result of the war.

WANT TO BE MUSTERED OUT.

San Francisco, Aug. 20-Men Of as- most every one of the volunteer regf ments are circulating petitions to the secretary of war requesting that they be mustered out of the service There are very few of the officers with whon this movement has any countenanca. and every effort is being made to sup press it. In the Twentieth Kansas regiment the suppression of one peti- tion by officers led only to a more wig orous one being placed on foot.

LEE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISE.
Havana Will be Entered by Troops
 With the ex-Consul in Command.

Washington. Aug. 20.-It is believed to be practically settled that General Lee is to be designated as command ing general of the military department of Cuba. He does not attempt to con- ceal his qualification at the prospect of returning to Cuba as military com mander. He will have an opportun- ity to make good the declaration he de- livered to the Spaniards as he was leaving the harbor of Havana a few months ago. It will be remembered that he served notice on the dons that he would return with force of Ameri- can soldiers and the administration proposes he shall fulfill that farewell declaration to the letter.

on ridge near Camp McCalla with the
Spanish, when it was believed he was

Camp McCalla, June 16. In it Lieut. Ne
vile says:
Il have been having a hot time here;
steady fighting on Saturday, Sunday Mon
day and Tuesday. On Tuesday we went
into the interior about four miles with
$50 men and licked 4S0 dagoes, killing fifty
and wounding five times as many. We
captured one lieutenant and seventeen
other prisoners, with guns and ammuni-
ton. We destroyed a block house and a
well, the only supply of water within fif-
teen miles,
Two Spaniards delivered themselves.
They had had nothing to eat for three
