The Posts View

Washington, Aug. 15.-The Post will to- morrow say:
 "The announcement of the personnel of the military commissions for Cuba and Porto Rico may now be expected at any time. The president has practically determ- ined upon the military and naval officers who will compose the commission. It is probable that the names will be as follows:
 Cuban Commfssion-Major- J. T. Wade, Major-General M. c. Butler and Ad- miral W. T. Sampson.
 Porto Rico Commission-Major- General John R. Brooke, Major-General Theodore Schwan and Admiral Wiirield s. Schley.
 ''It will be noticed that the name of Gen. eral FitZhugh Lee does not appear in the list of Cuban commissioners. The omission is not unintentioanl. General Lee was orig inally slated for place on the commission, but will not serve owing to the desire to remain at the head of his army corps. It Is understood that this corps, the Seventh, will eventually be sent to Cuba, and in that event General Lee will go to the island at its head, preferring this position to a commssionership."

BLANCO'S ADDRESS.
Considers His Mission in Cuba al
 an End.

Havana, Aug. 15.-G:45 D. m.)-General inhabitants of Cuba:
 Tt having been resolved by the Madrid government to conclude peace with the United States, I consider that my mission in this country is ended, and have asked for relief from my duty. came to Cuba animated with the hope of pacifying the island and saving it for Spain. We had to accept the struggle at a moment when 1t was least expected, and under most unfa- yorable circumstances. Nevertheless, we sustained the campaign with vigor, and our army has already let the invaders feel the weight of our arms, and was willing, at the head of the army, to continue dis. putting inch by inch, the land with which such -Nalor and at the cost of so much blood we are defendmgr
 Since the nations government, which is surely inspired by the great interests of r,atrio.ic.., dosiro oioo to assure your proper interests and those of the other colonists, believes the moment has arrived to make peace, 1t is our duty faithfully to second her fin her purpose, but 1t cannot be that I am the one called upon to perform political duty which does not agree with my declarations, with my acts and with my convictions. I see myself obliged to leave you at the present painful and difficult moment. Nevertheless I will not do it without advising you to maintain the calmness and prudence so necessary to save the legitimate interest of Spain in Cuba, which represent the fruit of your labors and thus I think I have rendered my last and most disinterested service to Cuba, to her inhabitants and especially to the city of Havana"

  Try To Hold a lynch!ng Bee In Far Away San
 Francisco.

San Francisco Aug 15-Dan Thomas, a negro crab fisherman, was wounded and narrowly escaped lynohing at the hands of 300 Tennessee soldiers today. Two men of Troop B, regular cavalry, in attempting to quell the riot, were dragged from their horses by the volunteers and slightly in- jured in the tussle. AThe negro's house about block and a half from the Presidio. was almost wrecked.
 Officers of the Tennessee regiment finally sent the men back to quarters and took the bleeding negro to the guard house for protection.
 The trouble began in saloon. Will Davis private of Company L, First Ten nessee regiment, was drinking in the sa- loon. Five or six other soldiers from dif- ferent regiments and the negro, Thomas, were in the place. According to the story told by Davis, the negro approached him and asked for drink. Davis replied that he had money whereupon the negro struck Davis in the right eye with a set of brass knuckles. The two closed in a struggle until they were separated by an Iowa private, who was in the saloon. When the negro found himself free, he left the saloon and went to his home. Thither he was followed by the soldiers, who wrecked the house in an endeayor to get at the colored man. But for the prompt arrival of Major Cheatham, the negro might have fared much worse. Major Cheatham cov- cred the leaders with his pistol and said he would kill the first man who injured the negro. This prompt action saved the colored man from immediate violence, but on the way to the guard house at the Pre- sidio the negro was attacked by Private Scruggs, who struck him a terrible blow over the head with a bludgeon.
 The soldiers were quieted with much diffi- culty. General Miller is Investigating the affair.
 All the men engaged in the riot were volunteers. Most of them were Tennes- scans, but there were a number also from the Kansas and Iowa regiments.

THE PHILIPPINES.
They Are the Key to the East and we
 Should Hold Them.

From a letter from Charles G. Leland.
 The Anglo-American aaiance has frlgnt- ened Russia Germany and France into re- ecting that before such an alliance they must all become second-class powers, that Is, France and Germany even must com bine to hold their own. This Is bitter pill.
 We two can dictate conditions. Now we must not give way one inch, nor give Ger many or Russia even port in the Philip pines. All depends on our firmness in this.
 Note what I say. There is going to be tremendous bullying by Russia and Ger many ere long and great efforts by Russia to make England and America quarrel. Dow, we must hold fast to all the Philip pines, for the bullying will be great. Yam kee dough faces are people who are weak and ignorant, and who will for peace's sake give way, and our whole great future de- bends on not doing this. but on being bold and fearless.
 Russia and Germany will even threaten war, but if we give way we shall be ruined or reduced to par with 1t. The Philip pines are the key to all the east. and should be opened and ruled from the great American Pacific, or our vest With England we can secure all this. This Is the crisis of our fate as nation, and the war with Spain will either make us first class power or only a third-rate one.

SERVANTS COLUMN
 WAS ATTACKED

Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 15-Morning.- General Schwans column was attacked yesterday between Mayaguez and Lares. As the Eleventh infantry, under Colonel Burke, was descending the valley of the Rio Grande, they were fired upon from a hillside by force of 1,500 Spaniards, who were retreating toward the north. The fire was returned and the Spaniards were repulsed with, it is believed, considerable loss.
 Colonel Soto, the commander of the Ma yaguez district, was wounded and after wards overtaken in a waysde cottage. He was attended by two sergeants who sur- rendered. The Americans suffered no loss. The artillery and cavalry were not en- gagged.
 General Schwan had not received news of the signing of the protocol when the ac- tion occurred, but obtained it yesterday afternoon. The reports from General Miles are meagre.

EXCELLENT SHOWING.
Report of the Collections of the Port of
 Santiago de Cuba.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 15.-The official report submitted to General Shafter by Collector of the Port Donaldson, shows the customs revenue from July 30 to Aug, 13 to be s64,215, an excellent showing for the first fortnight of American administration.
 Miss Clara Barton, of the Red Cross So- ciety, today cabled President Mckinley re- questing that a vessel be given her at once for the purpose of taking relief supplies to the starving Cubans in Havana, where, according to reports, want and distress prevail. It is expected that vessel will be placed at the service of the Red Cross Society immediately, as there Is an abund- ant stock of supplies here, only awaiting means of transportation and the excellent and far-reaching work Miss Barton has done here demands recognition to the ex- tent of furnishing her an opportunity for further much needed relief work in Ha- vana.

MAIL SERVICE
Between the United States and Spain
 Will be Promptly Resumed.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The mail service between the United States and Spain will be resumed promptly so far as this coun- try is concerned The two countries being practically at peace, the officials here see no reason why mail passing between them should be opened and censored as during the war, and hereafter these restrictions will be removed.
 Very soon steps will be taken by the post office department looking to the resumption of regular mail communications between the United States and Cuba and Porto Rico.
