French Captain Forgot to Salute

London, August "A despatch to the
Daily Mail from Hong Kong dated
August l., says:
News has sbeen received here from Ma
Mia that the other day the American
troops went to the assistance of the
rebels who had been expelled from
their trenches by the Spaniards. Tae
latter retired before the American ad-
vance. The rebels have been shelling
Manila from four guns on the south side
OF the city. 4
Admiral Dewey has received word
from Captain General Augustin that he
is willing to surrender SO soon as he can
do so honorably. It is believed that he
will make only show of resistance. Ad-
miral Dewey expects to take the city
without losing Ii single man. Should
Dewey and Merritt begin the attack
Augustin will propose to capitulate on
the following terms:
The Spanish troops to march out with
the honors Of war; the soldiers and Off
GERS to be permitted to return on parole
to Spain; and an assurance be given
that the lives and property of Spanlards
will be protected from native attack.

topic of discussion is a report that

TERMS OF PEACE.
Just What Spain Must Do TO
Get II.

Washington, August 1--All eyes
turned. today toward Madrid. for it was
realized that upon the Spanish Cabinet
depended 1.-The restoration of peace. 1t
had been announced here in thoroughly
reliable quarter that the decision OF the
Spanish government was not to kbe sub
mitted before tomorrow lat the earliest.
In the absence of any new phase in the
negotiations here today, speculation
naturally turned back ward toward the
remarkable meeting at the White House
Saturday and great interest was mani
tested in every particular respecting that
event. A disposition was shown In some
quarters to question the authority of the
French ambassador to act as he did, rep
resenting Spain. But it can be again
stated that regardless of any technical
point such as the absence of signed,
sealed ard delivered mail credentials
which, of course, could not reach here in
the little time at hand, the President re-
garded M. Cambon as fully qualified to
act as a representative of the Spanish
negotiations, subject as are all ministers
or ambassadors iu these days to the re-
ference of the work accomplished by
them to the government they represent
for final approval III. Cambon made it
clear that ne had been fully instructed
on every. point likely to raise in the nego-
tiations, that the President was satisfied
that by accepting him as the representa-
tive of Spain in this matters vast saving
Of time would be effected, and point
of the utmost Importance that the nsgo-
tiations would be technically conducted
without the interposition of any neutral
government. However, any question
that might have arisen as to the hopes of
the French ambassador was set at rest by
short and concise statement issued to-
day from the embassy.
The discussion turned on the nature of
| the change made at the instance of M.
mands. 1t was contended in some quart
| ers that no change had been made; IN
others that an important modification
had developed. AS II matter of fact as to
the character of this change there is a
difference of opinion between parties, the
administration looking upon it as in
consequential, while NJ. Calnbon at
taches Importance to it. However, this
may be, as the administration believes,
| that the change is not essential and that
it certainly does not affect the prin ciple
of the do 3ument it might be we'll to re-
i capitulate briefly just what the demands
of the United States were. AS to Cuba,

her government, possession and control.
1t would be noticed that nothing is said
of Cuban independence and that the ac-
ceptance of this position leaves the United
States free to deal with the island as 1t
may deem best.

SESSION.
Congress Must Convene in
Case Of Peace.

Washington, August 1.-The Post will
say tomorrow:
President Mckinley will call an extra
session of both houses as soon rs Spain
accepts the terms of peace offered by tho
United States. 1t has always been un-
derstood that the Senate would be con-
yened as soon as the treaty Of peace was
ready to be acted upon by that body.
The attention of the President has been
called however, to q situation which
makes the assembling Of tho entire con-
gress necessary.
Under the law which provides for the
raising of the volunteer army, that army
goes out of existence as soon as the war
ceases. When this law was framed, 1t was
not supposed that after the war had end
ed there would be any necessity of keep
ing the army intact. The developments
of the war makes 1t evident that instead
of sending the army back to civil life,
fully 1o0,ooo men will continue to be
needed. 1t is the present intention to

distribute no less than $4,000 soldiers

quate army for garrison purposes.

CHARGED WITH RAPE
Man Arrested for Alleged Abuse Of
His Stepdaughter

Ed Thomas was arrested near the Soldiers
home at Santa Monica yesterday by Con-
stable Yonkin on warrant charging him
with rape. j. W. Hart accused him of this
crime, committed upon the person of Lizzie
Hotchkiss, the step-daughter of Thomas,
and from his account very revolving state
OF affairs was presumed to exist.
The little girl, who is only IL years old,
told straightforward story to Deputy Dis
trct Attorney Williams, denying that any
thing more serious than undue liberties had
been taken by Thomas, and it appears that
he had been drinking at the time. She said
also that Hart was not on good terms with
Thomas. being iEcensed because OF his cool
ness when calling at the house of the latter,
and she said that her statement of the al
legged assault, made Immediately to her
mother, had been told by her to her aunt
and by her passed along to Hart, with final
exaggerations well-nigh- approaching those
of the ''Three Black Crows"
Thomas was taken before Justice Young
for arraignment and his preliminary exam
nation was set for tomorrow. Meanwhile he
is lodged in the county Jail.
