Guayama, Porto Rico, Aug 15.-Gen-

of the peace protocol. He was met by
Commandant Cevera in person.
After the communication had been

Schwan's column was attacked before
Mayaguez and Lares. AS the Eleventh
infantry, under Colonel Burke, was de-
scending the valley of the Rio Grande,
they were fired upon from hillside by
a force of 1900 Spaniards, who were
retreating toward the north. The fire
was returned and the Spaniards were
repulsed with, it is expected, consider
able loss.
Colonel Soto the commander of the
Mayaguez district, was wounded and
was afterwards overtaken in wayside
cottage. He was attended by two SER
geants, who surrendered. The Ameri-
cans suffered no loss. The artillery and
cavalry were not engaged.
General Schwan had not received
news of the signing of the protocol
when the action occurred, but obtained
it yesterday afternoon. The reports
from General Miles are meagre.

TORREY'S MEN READY TO QUIT

MUSTERED OUT.
Believe the War Is Over and Would
Rather Come Home Than Do Gar
rison Duty In Cuba
fSnecial to The Herald.l

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 15-Torrey's
rough riders are still in camp here,
performing the usual routine of camp
duties, drills, etc, though they were
detached from the third division,
Seventh army corps, and placed in a
division by themselves several days
ago.
A very strong sentiment prevails
among the men that the regiment is
destined to see no active service, since
peace has been declared and hostilities
have ceased. This feeling has been
increasing since the protocol last week,
until yesterday, when it became so
general in A and l troops that a petit
ton addressed to Colonel Torrey was
circulated in these troops, asking that
he use his influence to procure dis
charges for all men who did not desire
to remain longer in the service.
The petition sets forth that peace
has been declared and there seems to
be nothing in prospect except possibly
garrison duty in Cuba That the men
enlisted for the war and are averse to
serving as an army of occupation.
Forty-seven 1 troop men~have thus
far signed, and it is said troop a is
practically unanimous in favor of the
petition 1t is also said the other
troops have secured copies which are
being generally signed.
The commissioned officers, with two
or three exceptions, have discouraged
the movement, one of the exceptions
being a captain, who is said to have
stated that in his opinion the war was
over and he expected to resign.

CONSIDERS THAT HIS MISSION
rs NOW ENDED
Has Cabled His Resignation to Ma
drid, But 1t May Not Be Accepted
Having Advised War to the
Last, He Cannot Garry Out the
Peace Programme.

Havana, Aug. 15.-General Blanco to-
the inhabitants of Cuba:
1T having been resolved by the Ma
drid government to conclude peace with
the United States, consider my mis-
sion in this country ended, and have
solicited my. release from duty. 1 could
not urge upon you pacific solution
of the existing struggle, when, not long
ago, 1 advised you to maintain the war
in any event.
81 came to the island of Cuba, as is
well known to all, in critical circum-
stances, without fear of the difficulties
which | must encounter, and animated
by the hope of pacifying the island and
saving it for Spain, with the co-opera-
ton of all political parties; and with
out any other ambition than to render
a service to my country, which I SO
fervently love. The lack of faith and
the distrust of some and the prejudices
and terrors of others were insupera bic
obstacles to my desires and aspira-
tons, but despite these grave difficult
ties, perhaps the day was not far dis
tant when we could have seen realized
so happy a purpose, though one so
contrary TO the wishes of the enemies
of our race and the domination of
America. We had to accept the strug-
gle at a moment when it was least eX-
pected. and under most unfavorable
cumstances- Nevertheless, we sus-
tanned the campaign with vigor and our
army has already let the invaders feel
the weight of our arms, and l was will

Since the nations government,
which is surely inspired with the great
interests of patriotism and a desire also
to assure your proper interests and
those of the other colonies, believes the
moment has arrived to make peace, ii

her purpose, but it cannot be that ]

difficult moment. Nevertheless, I will
not do it without advising you to main

necessary to save the legitimate. inter
ests of Spain in Cuba, which represents
the fruit of your labors, and thus, ]

most disinterested service to Cuba, to
her inhabitants and especially to the

Conflicting Reports Concerning the
Situation at Manila.


Hongkong, Aug. 15.-The German
first-cIass cruiser Kaiserin Augusta ar
rived here today. having left Manila on
Saturday. She reports that the situa-
ton there was unchanged. but her Off
GERS are extremely reucent.
General August, captain general Of
the Philippines, arrived by the Kaiser
in Augusta. He refuses to be inter
viewed, and Will say nothing more
than that he is going 10 Spain at the
first opportunity
L is a significant fact that while the

Cpnsul The consul is now in Canton,
and his mail matter remains unopened.
The precise facts are not known. but
it is supposed that General August
fed from the Philippines. General Au-
gustis wife and family accompanied
him.
Belated mail information from Ma
Mia received today is TO the effect that
there has been renewed activity on the
part Of the Spaniards of late, due to
the belief that the American resources
have been exhausted, and that Presi-
dent Mckinley is suing for peace.
According to the same authority the
Insurgents throughout the island of
Vizcaya are reported to have signified
their intention of joining with Aguin-
aldo.
The Spanish consul here has not sent
to Manila the news that the protocol
has been signed, and probably the
Spaniards ar Manila will discredit the
account to be brought them by the
British steamer Australia, as she was
chartered by the Americans.
The opinion here is that the Germans
have arranged matters with Captain
General Augusti. The insurgents now
at Hongkong are not satisfied with the
terms of peace proposed by the Ameri
cans.

Rlanco Has RESIGNED

Madrid, Aug. 15.-The government
has received from Captain General
Blanco a, dispatch rendering his resig-
nation. The reason given by General
Blanco for resigning is that he does
not wish to superintend the evacua-
ton of Cuba.
The Cuban autonomist government
has resigned. 1t is believed that the
Spanish government will decline to &C
cept the resignation of Governors
Blanco and August.
Havana kilograms represent the
Spanish element in the colony as fav-
oring American annexation as the best
means to assure prosperity and avert
anarchy.

to the United States, who represented
Spain in the peace negotiations at
Washington, has been decorated with
the grand cross of the Order of Charles

terey arrived August with three
transports of the third expedition, and
at the time the dispatch vessel left pre-
parations were being made for an i'm
mediate assault upon the city. 1t was
known that General Merritt was only
awaiting these reinforcements to de-
mand the surrender and to give notice
of a naval bonn bardment.
Under these circumstances every pre-
caution was taken last Friday to in
form Admiral Dewey and General Mer-
rift with the least possible delay of the
formal signing Of the protocol and the
suspension Of hoStilitieS. A speedy
vessel was held at Hongkong under
steam ready to carry dispatches as
soon as they should be cabled to Con-
sui Wildeman. 1t had been deemed in
advisable to send any preliminary
warning to the naval and military
commanders on Thursday or Friday
morning, for fear the VIGOROUSLY dila-
tory and procrastinating methods of
Spanish diplomacy might result in fur
Their postponement of peace. 1t was
reported, however, that Sagasta, who
knew his own intentions better than
any one else knew them, had chartered
a vessel and sent instructions to Cen
eral August on Thursday to offer no
further resistance and to capitulate if
compelled to do so. This, however. has
not been verified and as a proceeding
utterly foreign to meagre exhibitions
of forethought heretofore manifested
by the Spanish government, it receives
no credence from the anxious authori-
ties in Washington.
