in comniun ication with the chief
authority in Porto Rico for the
purpose Of having Spanish forces turn
over San Juan and other points to him
preparatory to evacuation. Owing to
conditions in Cuba the orders to Gen
Shafter to be sent hereafter will be
much different than those to other gen.
erals. The navy department is also pre-
pairing orders, to all commanders on
lines similar to the war department
order.
At 1880 o'clock the French ambassa-
dor received dispatch giving him full
authorization to sign the protocol
The dispatch was rather long and its
dcciphering took some time.
An official statement for press pub bli-
cations setting out the provisions of
the peace protocol was read and ap-
proved at the cabinet session Friday.
1t does not give the text of the docu.
ment but details its main points and
provisions The protocol is q reitera-
tion of the terms of the note given to
Spain, with very little difference in
the language of those terms, though
with considerable supplementary par
agraphs of an administrative nature.
The most substantial difference is in
regard to the evacuation of captured
territory. The note handed to Ambassa.
dor Cambon calls for immediate evacua-
tion of Cuba and Porto Rico, while
the protocol leaves the time of evacur
alton to be subsequently determined
upon, the design being to have the
date of withdrawal left to be fixed by
joint military commission of the
United States and Spain. The portion
of the protocol supple mentary to what
is embodied in the note relates prin.
cipaHy to the manner of execution of
the provisions of the protocol.
The protocol provides for two COM
missions, first, the peace commission,
which will meet in Paris, and second,
the military commission, which will
meet in Havana probably within Is
days. The military commission will be
created Immediately on the signing of
the protocol. Its duties will be of
great Importance, 1t will settle the
details of the evacuation of the Span.
ish armies from the West Indies and
will decide all questions relative to
the removal of submarine mines, the
immediate REIMBURSEMENT to the
United States of the great fortresses at
Havana, San Juan and other points
and the transfer of possession of Ma
nila City itself.

the open space before my veranda--
blacks and whites, yellow and copper
color, all mixed up higgledy piggledy
in glorious confusion. From cursory
glance at them they appeared to come
from all countries and from all parts of
the globe. could distinguish English
men. Frenchmen, Germans, Swedes,
Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, Rus
sians Hindoos, Malays. Dyaks and even
Cinnamon. The dusky population, how
ever, predominated.
The first business to be performed
when they were all before me was to
separate the men from the women and,
as soon as this was accomplished, to
carefully examine each in turn. After
that l singled out those who were
skilled in carpentering and hut build
ing and kept them on one side. For
tunately was able to procure nearly
80 who were in some degree efficient.
All OF these-I mean, of course, those
who had not had the disease-were
forthwith vaccinated and dispatched,
under the leadership of one of my six
lieutenants, to site l had chosen on
the hillside for the hospital There they
were employed erecting huts with all
possible dispatch.
When the remainder had undergone
the necessary operation, volunteers We're
requested to enroll themselves for the
work of nursing the sick, and for this
duty no less than 90 held up their
hands, eight of whom had themselves
been victims of the pestilence.
Long before had completed my work
of vaccination the sun had disappeared
behind the hill, and it was time for the
evening meal. But, tired MS we all were,
1t was useless to think of stopping, so
after we had broken our fast the work
of hut building and vaccination proceed

long after midnight. BY the time my
