Explanation of Augustus Flight.

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-A dispatch from
NJ arid gives strikinely candid and
damaging explanation of Captain Gen
eral Augustus sudden departure from
Manila. He was not only the com.
mander of the Spanish forces around
Manila, but was also Governor OF the
Philippines. 1t was feared that if the
capitulation was signed by him it
might be taken by the Americans to in
cude the entire territory under his
jurisdiction. To avoid this it was de-
cded on July 9th to restrict the area
of his authority and transfer portion
of it to the Governor of the Visayas.
General Augustus departure from Ma
nila was probably an additional pre-
caution.
BERLIN, Aug. 1S-A high official of
Il German foreign Office confirms the
statement that Admiral Dewey gave
his consent to Captain General Au.
custi's passage on board the German
warship Kaiserin Augusta The Of
fc;al who made this statement deplored
the fact that a section OF the American
pre- s had represented to Spanish Gov
ernor Generals departure from Manila
on board German warship as an un-
friendly action.

AFTER WAR NOTES.

1t is now stated at Madrid that Gen
eral August left Manila after the sur
render The government has received
his report giving details of the surren-
der, but is not yet ready to publish It,.
The fall of Manila occurred some hours
after the peace protocol had been
signed.
The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine lei
tung of Berlin, states that the cruiser
Kaiserin, Augusta, which carried Gen
August from Manila, left the harbor al
ter the surrender of the city. "When Ad-
miral Won Diedrichs permitted him to
60 to Hong Kong on the Kaiserin Au-
gusta," says the Zeitung, sit was by
agreement with the American COM
m ,nder.in-chief, if indeed the German
admiral considered such an agreement
necessary"
In the capture of Manila the Amer
leans lost killed and 40 wounded.
The Spanish loss is estimated at from
120 to 600 killed and wounded. Ad-
miral Dewey has recommended for pro-
motion g number of officers of his fleet
who have rendered notable service.
There is more trouble with Agui-
naldo. The insurgent leader in the
Philippines wants to occupy the city OF
Manila, and has practically demanded
the withdrawal of the United States
forces. Aguinaldo has twice as many
men as the Americans and may make
trouble
The two American commanders OF
Manila, Admiral Dewey and Major
General Merritt, united in joint dis
patch which was received in Washing
ton late yesterday evening, asking for
instructions as go the manner OF deal
ing with the various elements, particu'
iarly the insurgents, now that the city
was occupied by the American forces
Instructions sent to the two American
commanders are to "enforce law and
order, and to treat all law abiding citi
zens alike"
The instructions are practically the
same as those sent last night TO Gen.
Lawton. The latter order specifically
stated that the insurgents must recog
nize the military occupation and au
thority of the United States, and the
cessation of hostilities proclaimed by
this government.
The garrisons of Baracoa and Sagus
de Tanamo, Cuba, which were Included
in the terms of General Toral's capitu
latiop, have surrendered to Genera
Shafter. At Baracoa 625 Spanish sol
diers and officers surrendered, with
200 rifles and 200, 900 cartridges, and
Mt Sagua de Tanamo S72 officers anc
men, with one old Krupp gun, 1,O7C
rifles and POS 600 rounds ofammuuitioI
were taken. General Shafter, in Ca
blegrsm announcing the surrender o.
J Baracos and Sagua de Tanamo, says
The Spanish troops knew nothing o
The destruction of Cervera's feet, the
fall of Santiago or any later events"
President Mckinley and his Cabinet
are unanimous in the determination
that one OF the first official acts toward;
bringing about restoration of peace
and order 10 Cuba should be the dis
bandment of the Cuban army. A;
there is no longer a Spanish army il

reason for the existence OF the Cuban

The court martial Of Capt. l. G.. Dun.
can, Assistant Surgeon of the Twenty
second Kansas Regiment, charged with
disecrating Confederate graves. was
continued yesterday at Thoroughfare.
More witnesses told of the dissertation OF
the Humphrey grave, and thus the pros
ecu'ion started out to prove that Capt.
Duncan had desecrated the grave of ].
T. Duke, of the Cahaba Rifles, Fifth
Alabama Regiment. This grave is
about mile distant from the Humph-
rey grave. The ties imony about this
was very interesting at times. 1t was
shown that Duke was Free Mason,
which fact two non.commissioDed otli-
GERS of al Indiana regiment, also Ma
IONS, discovered. They described their
efforts to prevent the spoliation of his
remains, and the jeers they were sub
j-cted 10.
Corporal William T. Osborne, Com
pauy NJ, 159sh Indiana, told infinitely
how he had approached the grave. He
said he had looked at the headstone
and thought the man buried there was
a Free Mason. He accosted a man
(whom he recognized as Capt. Duncan)
who was digging, and asked why be
should not let the soldier rest in peace

IT IS estimated that fifteen million
dollars will be required to pay the Off
GERS and soldiers of the Cuban insur
gent army, and thereby to keep them
quiet, at least temporarily. 4 fourth Of
that sum would pay all the debts the

zens, including the French Spolation
claims and those included in the omni
bus bill before the late Congress. But
it is said there is no money for that
PURPOSE.
