New YORK, Aug. 1O.-A dispatch
to the World from Manila bay Aug. 4,
says: The, third Philippine expedition
is here, 20 days out from Honolulu.
Never did an expedition encounter more
dangers or endure more perils On the
voyage six men and one officer died and
90 more were taken sick. Two firemen
went insane and leaped overheard. But
lire was the worst peril of all The
Heet OF transports We're three days out
from Hawaii when fire was discovered
IN the bunkers of the transport Morgan
City. At night, when all the troops were
asleep, Captain Dillon assembled the
crew and told them the news. Every
man was pledged to secrecy. Silently
the men coupled on the hose and the
steam pipes.
Then they began battling the flames
in the hold. Night and day the heroic
crew fought the fire, but with little sue
cess. And still the troops did not know
that fire was burning beneath their
feet. The Morgan City fell off in speed
and the whole fleet was delayed. The
bunkers were still burning when the
Morgan City arrived here. Then, for
the first time, the troops learned of their
danger. The flames were extinguished
after the ship had been in port few
hours. On board the Morgan City We're
600 men Of the Idaho volunteers and
detachment Of Nebraska volunteers.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10-The answer
OF Spain to the terms Of peace is not en-.
tirely satisfactory to this government
and further negotiations are necessary
and are in progress today A definite
result in the way of a probable com
plete acceptance is looked for by to-
morrow night, possibly late today. The
points on which the disagreement rests
are not known. Further concessions of
Spanish government to our demands are
awaited as certain, however. One
prominent administration official who
has participated in the conferences,
while refraining from making any
direct statements has this much to
today:
1.-The answer is not enough, but we
are hopeful Of the result.
Further negotiations then are neces-
sary?"
Eyes, but we look for something de-
finite tomorrow.
beyond this no member OF the cap1neJ
is willing to go. The president and
Secretary Day are exerting every effort
to prevent news Of the progress Of the
negotiations transpiring until definite
result can be announced. Today several
OF the members of the cabinet were in
conference with the president regarding
the situation.
Secretary Long was the earliest of the
counselors to call, and Secretary Alger
soon followed. Commander Crownin-
shield OF the war board was called in,
but the meeting did not last very long,
and had no important bearing on the
situation. Shortly before 11:30 O'Clock,
Secretary Day, who had been in confer
ence with the French ambassador at
the state department.. called to consult

the president regarding the peace nego.
tiations
Secretary Day made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
"We have agreed upon protocol
emLJdying the proposed terms for the
negotiation of treaty of peace, includ-
ing the evacuation of Cuba and Porto
Rico, and it is expected that the proto-
col will be executed
1t can be stated that the terms are
precisely those laid down by the presi-
dent in his original note about week
ago. 1t is believed that nothing but a
few formalities remain to be disposed of
to secure the signature of the protocol.
The formal signatures to the protocol
will not be affixed today This is def
mite.
The statement by Secretary Day
showed that events had led up by logical
steps to the agreement reached some
time after noon today on the terms Of
the protocol. The conference between
the president and the French ambassa-
dor at the White House last evening, it
was practically admitted this morning.
was not conclusive in all respects, but
therewas manifestation of steadfast con-
fidence in American circles that seemed
to presage an early agreement upon the
basis of peace. When Ambassador
Cambon appeared at the state depart
ment at II o'clock, and, with his secre
tary, M. Thiebaut, was ushered into the
diplomatic room, there was general be-
lief among the officials of the state de-
partment that the prospect had bright
ened materially over night and that a
cessation of hostilities at least was in
sight.

Dis gusted With Aguinaldo.

CAv1TE. Manila Bay, Aug. 3.-(via
Kong Kong, Aug. 1OD-The Americans
are disgusted with the conduct of
Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, whose
power is weakening, owing to the fact
that the Filipinos are realizing the un-
substantiability Of his promises. Two
lnsurgent steamers are now in Manila
bay provisioning in order to insure
Aguinaldo's escape, if necessary. The
American field hospital worked splen-
didly, under CALLING fire, at the battle
OF Malate, and the remarkable courage
and steadiness of all ranks, regulars and
volunteers, caused Merritt to officially
thank the troops. The Spaniards used
Mauser and Remington rifles with brass
coated bullets.

British Press Comment.

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-The afternoon
newspapers comment upon the battle of
Malate as being a repetition of the now
familiar story, the Spaniards, brave and
incompetent, firing wildly and too light;
the Americans brave, cool and skillful.
Notwithstanding that their operations
were conducted in the midst of trop
lcal monsoon. The papers also refer to
"the ominous neutrality of the Fill.
plnos as being evidence of trouble in
store for the Americans.

One Cent a Mile Rate For Tolls.

DEs MONIES, Aug. 10.-One cent a
mile will probably be the rate deter
mined upon for toll line service by a
meeting Of mutual companies which is
being held in Des Moines this afternoon.
The agreement will also provide for a
minimum rate of 20 cents within a
county. Tolls heretofore have been
on the basis Of a minimum of
70 cents with 10 cents added
for each county passed through. The
mileage basis is thought to be the
most feasible plan of adjusting and
equalizing tolls. The leading mutual
companies are represented.

iank exposed. Companies A and E of
the Tenth Pennsylvania and the Utah
battery were ordered to reinforce the
right flank
In the midst of raging typhoon and
tremendous downpour of rain, the
enemy's force, estimated at 5000 men,
attempted to surprise the camp. Our
pickets We're driven in and the trenches
assaulted
The brave Pennsylvania men never
f1inched, but stood their ground under e
whitening fire. The alarm spread and

companies Of the Third artillery, who
fought with rifles, We're sent to rein.
force the Pennsylvanians. The enemy
We're on top of the trenches when these
relnforcements arrived, and never was
the discipline Of the regulars better
demonstrated than by the work of the
Third artillery under Captain O'Hara.
Nothing could be seen but flashes of
Mauser rifles. Men ran right up to the
attacking Spaniards and moved them
down with regular volleys. The Utah
battery, under Captain Young, covered
itself with glory. The men pulled their
guns through mud axle deep. Two
guns We're sent around in flank and
poured in destructive enfilading fire.
The enemy was repulsed and retreated
in disorder. Our infantry exhausted its
ammunition and did not follow the
enemy. Not an inch OF ground was
lost, but the scenes in the trenches were
never to be forgotten.
During flashes of lightning the dead
and wounded could be seen lying in the
blood red water, but neither the ele-
ments of heaven nor the destructive
power of man could wiring cry of pro-
test from the wounded. They encour-
aged their comrades to fight and handed
over their cartridge belts. During the
night the Spanish outposts We're seen
carrying off dead and wounded of the
enemy. The American dead were buried
next day in the convent at Maracaban.
Some estimates place the Spanish losses
at over 500 men killed and wounded.
On the night Of Aug. l the fighting
was renewed, but the enemy had been
taught lesson, and made the attack
at long range with heavy artillery. The
Utah battery replied, and the artillery
duel lasted an hour. One man was
killed. He was Fred Pringsted, First
Colorado, and two men We're wounded.
On the night of the I'd there was some
desultory firing. P. Lewis of the First
Nebraska was killed and another private
OF the same regiment was wounded.
This ended the battle, though nightly
skirmishes continue. The ships took
no part, but in day or two, if General
August does not show the white flag,
he will be given taste of American
valor when it is led to an attack.

Fight over Normal Diplomas.

DEs MONIES, Aug. 6.-President
Searly Of the state normal school and
teachers over the state are arrayed
against County Superintendent Brenton,
who has the law on his side in lively
dispute which promises to become fever
lsh at the next meeting of the State
Teachers association. Superintendent
Brenton refuses to accept grades on
state normal school diplomas. He also
announces as requirement re e-examina-
ton every two years at the expiration of
state certificates as a necessary prelim-
mary to the issuance of credentials. Ii
is contended On behalf of the state nor
NAL school that the refusal to recognize
the grades of the institution will do the
school untold injury and its friends
will be pitted against county superin-
tendents in bitter fight.
