General Shafter has informed the War De-
partment that after consulting with Gen.
Lawton, commanding the department of
Santiago, 1t has been concluded that it will
not be necessary to send any more troops
to Santiago for the preservation of peace
and good order. This statement is made
with the understanding that the present
military force will shortly be reinforced by
the arrival of the Fifth Regular Infantry
and the Twenty-third Kansas volunteers
The War Department authorities are not
alarmed at the possible appearance
of the yellow fever among the
troops in the United States, but a close
Watch is being kept at all points where
there is thes least Danger. The three cases
at Key West are the only ones reported in
the South and no additional cases have been
reported in the last three or four days. At
Montauk Point there are several suspicious
cases, but if it is yellow fever it is very
mild type.
Major Sniffin, one of the paymasters at
Santiago, who was sent to that place to
pay General Skaters army, sailed to-day
for Montauk Point. Owing to the departure
of the army only about one third of the
troops were paid while at Santiago. AS soon
as the paymasterS are released from quar-
antine at Montauk they will begin payment
of the. remainder of General Skaters
army.

This afternoon five hundred of the District
of Columbia troops sailed on the transport
Hudson. five hundred of the Seventh In
fantry on the Yucatan and six companies
of the Thirty-fourth Michigan on the trans
port Santiago. The troops are going for
ward as rapidly as possible. Owing to the
increase in sickness there is much need of
hospital ships. The number of those sick is
large. and there are not sufficient accommo-

The embarkation of the Spanish troops
continues. One thousand will leave on the
Vile de Verdi tonight. Next week smaller
transports will take the Spaniards at Guam

NEW YORK, Aug. ia dispatch to the
World from Manila City, dated Aug. Is. via
Hong-Kong, says:
The hardest fighting at the capture Of
Manila was done by the Aston battery,
which led the advance. Brigadier General
Macarthur, commanding the brigade, COM
plimented the men in the highest terms
right in the midst of the battle for their
valor and success. The Astor battery led
the column, supported by the Minnesota
volunteers and the Twenty-third regulars.
The Utah battery's guns were too heavy
to move through the swamps The march
was along the Pasay road ON the right of
the Pasig river, where the fleet could give
no assistance.
AT the junction of the Cingalong road the
vanguard came along without warning upon
a strong Spanish intrenchment. Suddenly
the enemy rained a deadly fire upon the
Americans, killing two of the Astor bat
terry, First Sergeant Holmes and Second
Sergeant Kremens, and one Minnesota man.
Private Patterson, at the same time wound
ing a score of other soldiers. Sergeant
Kremens, after he was shot staggered to
his gun, fired it, and the next moment fell
dead beside the piece.
The Aston battery was forced to fall back
from the murderous fire. temporarily leav-
ing two guns. But the reserves, under COL
Ovenshine, came up promptly, and with
their support the Astors charged the enemy
with only revolvers for weapons, quickly
regained their guns and put both into action
again with increased vigor. The Spaniards
then were speedily put to flight Following
is the list of casualties in the Aston bat
terry:

with it. If sentiments of humanity demand that we should free Cuba from Spanish rule, the demand is equally strong that we should free every col ony of Spain tha. comes under our in fiuance. I think Spain must realize that this is to be done before we can expect peace"
 Senator Mcbride of Oregon said tha- in his opinion there was nothing to be gained talking of peace now. What we want to talk about, he said, is. the vigorous prosecution of the war. The surest way to secure peace is to dis miss all thought of anything but how to make Spain feel our power. It is evident that the administration un- derstaIids the situation. The steps that are now being taken are in the line of war, not of peace, and by such means the war will be ended sooner tn m it would be by idle talk of peace and the present peace talk is idle. The Spanish have not learned their lesson. The question of terms of settlement is still of the. future. The most trouble some thing apparently is going to be to dispose. of the Philippine question I doApot believe those islands will be returned to Spain, but how we are to disp0se of them may be a difficult thing to- settle.

control of the land, there must be numerous changes, abolishing such laws as may be oppressive. Laws will have to be very thoroughly gone over and the tariff system revised in some way, but in general and as far as pos sible the system of government which now exists is to be followed. All this means work of the most serious char acter, and in the absence of existing laws to govern such matters the pres ident had to go ahead on his own re- sponsibility. Next winter, however, when congress convenes, the necessity for laws covering such matters will be recognized by recommendations to con- gross to that end to be submitted by the president, and it ;s very probable the shaping of the destinies of Porto Rico and similarly circumstanced ac- sessions will be left to commission or commissions to be appointed to draft the laws for adoption by congress. The government is likely to be busy from now on considering all these matters of governmental detail.
 It is a certainty so far as now can be foreseen that Guam, the island in the Ladrone group that was captured by this government, will be permanently retained as a coaling and supply sta- tion. For these purposes it is valuable from it's location between the Sand wich and the Philippine islands, but on the point whether the rest of them will be kept is not known. They may be and they may not be. The dispo- sition of the Philippines is unsettled ood deropdc op oiro,,r, cf uooo Ac Tn the attitude of Garcia and the iIsur- gents in Cuba there is no change in our intention. This government hEi not been misled in its estimate of those forces. With the oppressive hand Spain has put on them so long, contending against the conditions i'm posed by injustice and oppression, there should have been little expecta- tion of greater abilities than are now shown by them. This government will have to treat them kindly, but firmly. It has made pledge to establish a firm and stable government and that must be carried. It, therefore, may be, in the light of present circum- stances and conditions, many years before affairs there have so shaped themselves as to intrust the island to the Cubans and we finally yield Cur possession of them. The transition must be gradual, step by step, and the final general change of control effected only after a thorough training and demonstration of the abilities of the people, beginning with the trial of some of the leaders in at first minor capacities. This is what is to bs looked for, and the gradual transition will consume length of time consid- erably at variance with what the peo- pie must expect.

NOT EXPECTING PEACE SOON.
Two Senator's Do Not Think Spain Is
 Ready to Yield.

Washington, July 29.-Senator War ren, who was at the war department today, said he did not see how any one could look for peace as long as the Spanish government kept up the pol icy of deceiving it's people. He said that the reported efforts now being made do not come with proper force from the right direction to carry weight.
 "If it were not for the deception be- ing practiced by Sagasta and his asso- ciates in the government" the sen ator said, ''there would undoubtedly be a strong public sentiment in Spain now in favor of peace upon terms that are possible. As it is, the war must be pressed on, as it is being, with vigor until they come to their senses. do not believe that foot of terri tory taken by us can ever be returned to Spain. If such restoration is to be made, I, for one, want nothing to do

bad as it was feared. While the cases were numerous, they were not severe.
 'tThe fact is," he said, that many of the cases put down as yellow fever are probably not that at all. The au- thorities are taking every precaution and all suspicious cases of ftver are isolated and guarded as if they were yellow fever, so as always to be on the safe side. It is mostly malarial fever. You see, our troops have been down there now just about lcng enough. to get well satlrated with malaria. The heat and lSavy rains with the e.la-s lation from the rank tropical vegeta- tion, which they have been exposed to, were calculated to giSe them malaria. You can have no idea what a rain is until you have been ill one down there. The water comes down as if it were being poured steadily from buckets. and the roads are simply gullies Of mud when it rains. The clay roads of Virginia we had to contend with dur ing the war of the rebsllicn were nothing to these Cuban roads, and the growth is so thick that you cannot see twenty feet Military operations under such circumstances were nat urally difficult. It was not possible to throw out the ordinary skirmish lines; the growth was impenetrable and ad- mitted of no such disposition Of the troops as military methods require The last three days I was down there, however, the conditions were much improved. During that time there was comparatively little rain and our troops were very comfortable.
 Under the more favorable condi- tions the roads had dried and the nlen could move with greater ease. They had three days rations at the front, and the men were being got on the high ground as fast as possible. It is source of particular gratifca ion that the yellow fever is not severe

NEW GOVERNMENTS.
Porto Rico and the Ladrone Group
 Will Need Attention.

Washington, July 29.-Porto Rico, whose fall is likely to be recorded within a very fed days, will have to have a military government. Porto Rico, of course, is to be kept perma- nently by this government, but there must be a military government first, and many preliminary details will have to be worked out. There must be rehabilitation of existing sys- tems of government where we have carried our arms, and while local schemes and conditions will form the basis of the general s.-stem for the

EXPECTANCY AT NIPPLE.
Arrival of a Carload Of Tents Suggests
 an Early Movement.

Whipple Barracks, Ariz.. Ju.y 27.- Special Correspondence of The Re publican )-The boys are all in anx- ious expectancy, the direct cause be- ing carload of tents that arrived to- day. Some say we are going direct to Havana to help reduce mat well for tified city. Others say that we will make forced marches Of eight CT ten miles to harden up so that We will be proof against Sols rays in the Philip pines. The most plausible guess is that they will be used by the boys. from Oklahoma and the indian Terri tory on their arrival al Whipple.
 Our colonel was up 10 the barracks, today reviewing his boys in battalion review. There is enc sure thing, ev-- cry one of us to man will fellow him wherever he may lead, as all the boys have confidence Ia the man that gives up governorship to he-ome col onel. All you have tt, do these days to pick a scrap wi D cns Of the boys is to accidentally run against his left arm, his right will shoot cut~straight from the shoulder and some enc gets hurt, as their scabs from vaccination have suddenly become great pets. The lates, favorable reports of p.ace nego- tiatiOns received here are not we'll taken by the boys, as they are anxious; to pay few compliments to their Spanish friends befose returning to- Phoenix. The Prescott band has kint- ly volunteered to play at dress parade next Sunday, as Professor Otto Eber- hardt is not able to organize the regj- mental band until the rest of the regi- ment has joined us. We are all praying that our uniforms will arrive in time to enable us to show our Phne- nix friends what three weeks driifimg will do when you have willing men and an able leader.

CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
The Answer of the United States Has
 Been Made Up.

Washington, July 29.-The answer to the Spanish government to be com municated as made up for submission to the cabinet, makes the following general terms as the conditions of peace: The absolute cessien of Porto Rico; the relinquishment of Spanish sovereignty in Cuba; the cession Of several small islands adjacent to Cuba
 and Porto Rico to the United States leavin the disposition of the Philip pines and other islands in that quarter subject to future negotiations.
 The present aim, it is authorita- lively stated, is to establish and main tain a coaling station in the Philip pines with fully adequate land area in connection herewith to build up an American city, possibly Manila it. self,
