SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August 12.-The
Cubans express great satisfaction over the
dismissal of the civil government here, the
retention of which, since the occupation of
the town by the United States forces, has
been a source of much contention.
Ros, the governor, was a major under
Capriles, and when the latter left with
Admiral Cervera Ros was made governor.
Since the surrender his occupation of the
office has been one of the principal causes
of Cuban grievance.
The municipal authorities throughout the
province are to be retained. There is to
be no interference with education or re-
ligion.
The arrangements for the outlying towns,
Baracoa and others, still occupied by Span
iards, will be proceeded with as soon as
possible. Lieutenant Miley of General
Skaters staff goes tomorrow to receive
the surrender of Baracoa.
The steamer Breakwater has arrived here

SeRi-Omcial Note.

The question of the acceptance of the
protocol having been finally settled and its
signature explicitly and definitely author
lied, the government is now considering
the domestic situation for the best means
of allaying the excitement and propagating
the idea that Spain's surrender is not so
complete as indicated by the bald terms OF
ton, a semi-officiaI note has been issued.
1t is as follows:
THE government is of opinion that the
most critical period of the peace negotia-
tions has now arrived, as it depends upon
the arrangement of details as to whether
the peace will be more or less advan-
tageous. Spain wishes to preserve her SOW
ereignty over the whole of the Philippines,
to which she proposes to accord all political
and administrative reforms consistent with
the maintenance of her sovereignty.
In regard to the evacuation of Cuba and
Porto Rico, It will be asked that the army
be allowed to depart honorably and that
assurances be given guaranteeing that
Spanish and foreign interests will not suf-
fer. The army which has not been con-
quered, will return 10 Spain with its guns,
arms and munitions
"In regard to the Cuban debt, as the
United States refuses to assume 1t, Spain
will endeavor TO arrange with the Cuban
treasury to pay 1t when the island is able.
"The question of treaty of commerce
will lead to considerable discussion, and the
matter will be submitted TO a commission
of diplomatists, under the presidency of
Senor Castillo"
The Only Bright Feature.
The Liberal thinks the only bright fea-
ture of the peace treaty is the immediate
suspension of hostilities. so that our un-
happy soldiers will no longer have to die
without knowing wherefore"
Continuing, the Liberal oongratulates the
country upon the fact that the war is end
ed though Spanish rule in America is COM
pletely terminated. I'VE reserve the right
to critcise the protocol when freedom is
restored to the press
In conclusion the Liberal says: Those
who pretend that the events of the last
three years were simply accidents which
do not affect Spanish history are deceiving
themselves"

SLIGHT CHANGE FROM FIRST Note
Arrangements for the Meeting
at the State Department.
CALL BY NJ. THIEBAULT

y
bassador received a dispatch giving
him full authorization to sign the
peace protocol. The dispatch is
rather long, and its deciphering will
take some time. No hour has been
set for the signing of the protocol,
but undoubtedly it will be signed
later in the day.
An official statement for press
publication, setting out the provi-
sions OF the peace protocol, was read
and approved at the cabinet session
today. 1t was prepared by Secretary
Day, the purpose being to make it
public Immediately after the required
signatures had been affixed to the
protocol 1t does not give the text
OF the document, but details its main
points and provisions.
The protocol in general is reit-
Grafton OF the terms of the note given
to Spain, with very little difference
in the language OF those terms,
though with considerable supple
mentary paragraphs of an admins
trative nature. The most substantial
difference is in regard to the evac-
uatlon OF the captured territory.
The note as handed to Ambassa-
dor Cambon called for immediate
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico,
while the protocol leaves the time of
the evacuation to be subsequently,
determined upon, the design being
10 have the date of withdrawal left to
be fixed by joint military commit
tee OF the United States and Spain.
The portion of the protocol sup
Elementary to what is embodied in
the note relates principally to the
manner of execution OF the provi-
sions of the protocol.
This statement would have been
made public after the cabinet meet
ing had the protocol been signed at
that time.
At 2:3o pm. the French ambassa-
dor had received and deciphered the
full instructions and authorization
respecting the signing OF the proto-
col, and ten minutes later M. THE

1t is thought the signatures will

II the President is to be present at
the ceremony it may not take place
until 5 O'Clock, this depending, how
ever, upon the wishes of the State
