BLANCO MUST GET OUT SOON
The President viii Not Brook ANY
Delay in Cuba.
SPANlARDS HATE TO QUIT.
Civil and Military Authority VIII BE
Exercised by the American Commits
Under Their Control

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Recent dis
patches from Havana showing an I'M
mistakable intention upon the part of
the Spanish authorities to avoid a re-
linquishment of power if possible
until a decision is reached by the
peace commission have again aroused
interest in the policy of the admins
tration. 1t is stated upon the highest
authority that the President has no in
tention Of allowing General Blanco
and his associates in Havana to evade
the terms of the protocol, and that the
commission which sailed from New
York Monday had full instructions to
demand an immediate arrangement for
the evacuation of the island with a
promise of sufficient force to compel
compliance.
The commissioners have received
full instructions as to how they are to
proceed with the government of such
portions of the island as are first evac
uated by the Spaniards, with a view
to an ultimate extension of their au-

now appears that they were clothed
with much greater power than was
needed to arrange for the evacuation
of the island merely, and are prepared
to execute both civil and military au-
thority over the entire territory as
fast as the Spanish troops are with
drawn.
The commissioners are fully pre-
pared to deal with all the parliament
airy questions of government that must
arise as soon as the evacuation begins.
1t will be necessary at once to make
arrangements for the maintenance of
municipal governments in the various
cities and towns, and also to provide
for the continuance of the courts of
justice under the changed conditions
until 4 new and more perfect system
can be devised. Ona of the difficulties
with which it is anticipated the COM
missioners will have to deal will be in
defining the exact distinction between
the military and the civil authorities
and arranging both SO as to avoid
friction in the exercise of jurisdiction.
With the landing of an army in
Cuba there will probably be appointed
a military governor, but the governors
duty will, it is expected, be supervi-
sorry to a large extent, and much of the
actual work of government must be
conducted by the civil authorities.
Inasmuch as the work of evacuation
will probably proceed slowly and as it
is necessary hat the authority of the
United States should be established
just as fast as that OF Spain is with
drawn, it is thought by those who
have given attention to the subject
hat the commission has probably been
authorized to make all necessary APP
pointments of civil officers until it is
possible, after the evacuation has been
completed, to establish a uniform and
improved system of government
throughout the island.
When the military occupation of
Cuba will begin has not been definite
ly determined, but it is said to be the
intention of the administration to
have an army in readiness to meet the
demands of the commissioners. IL is
thought hat an army will be sent to
Cuba not later than the middle of
October.

AGU|NALD0 As \ WARD BOSS
How the Dictator Proposes to
Handle the Island Congress.
HE WILL BE THE WHOLE THING
Most of the Delegates VIII BE Appointed
by the Insurgent Leader-An Ameri-
can Officer OF High Rank Says a Cri-
sis Is at Hand.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA dispatch to
the New York Herald from Manila
says: General Aguinaldo, in his ca
pacity as president or dictator, in call
ing a meeting of the Filipino Con-
gress," has disclosed the fact that he
has planned to have complete control
of that body from the start. He will
obtain control by appointing a major
ity of the representatives of various
districts. This so-called congress is to
meet in Malaolos October Is, SO that
Aguinaldo will have ample time in
which to choose the men who will up
hold him in his dictatorship.
Aguinaldo provides in his decree,
calling the congress to assemble, that
S~paniards who have lived in the Phil
ippine islands for ten years may exer-
else the right of suffrage in the selec-
ton of representatives.
In districts where no revolution has
taken place, A~guinaldo will himself
choose the representatives, and it is
by this means that he will obtain full
control. The revolution has been con-
fined to the island of LuZon and a
small section of Mindinao.
On these two islands only will Il vote
be taken in choosing representatives
in the congress-. The vote on the
island Of Miadinao will be confined to
the small section where the natives
have been in revolt. The insurgents
will easily control the selection of rep
resentativeS in these sections, so that
the right of suffrage conferred upon
Spaniards who have resided in the
islands for ten years will have little or
no bearing on the election.
Since Aguinaldo has conferred upon
himself the authority to chose repre-
s~entatives from the districts where nc
revolt has taken place, there will be
no possible chance for any move to
wrest the leadership from him. So far
as this congress is concerned his
authority will be as absolute as that
which Spain has exercised.
Santa Cruz. the last position held by
the Spaniards on Manila bay, has been
taken by the insurgents who have fol-
lOWeu up IilelT SucCcSS ny ScShlHS NSll-
geance upon some of the ex-priests of
that section.
A story comes from Iba in the north
ern part of the island of Luzon about
the cruel treatment of a Spanish
bishop by rebel sympathizers. The
prelate was compelled to disclose the
hiding place of the money belonging
to the church.
The insurgents are strongly fortify-
ing Malaolos, where A~guinaldo has
temporarily established the capital of
the rebel government. That the in
surgent leader is bent upon mischief
becomes daily more apparent. An
American officer of high rank has in
formed me that a crisis in affairs here
cannot now be delayed many days-a
fact, which, he says, should be fully
considered by the government at
Washington.

SAMPSON AND SCHLEY.
The Traits of Two Dogs Owned by
Gentleman in Raleigh.

Gentleman III kalclSn.
Talking with a reporter about Samp
son and Schlcy few days ago, promi-
neut gentleman in Raleigh rela ted the
following:
Some one has said: ''The more
know men. the more | like dogs" Pup
pies in their natures are very much like
children, and "men are but children OF q
larger growth"
Some weeks ago, through the cour-
tcsy of friend, l obtained two very
handsome setter puppies. | sent them
to my home with the injunction that
they were to be well cared for. When
came to dinner | found my little girl
had named the puppies Sampson and
Schley. after the naval commanders
She wished to honor the hero of Manila.
Dewey was not good name for dog
] watched the growing intelligence of
these canine youngsters with much in
tcrest, noting the developing traits with
such enjoyment as only lover of dogs
can appreciate. From the first Schley
was the more active and aggressive Of
the two. He was constantly on the look
out. and alive to everything which seem
ed to call for his puppyship's attention
The hitherto peaceful life of my back
yard had Il rude awakening with the
advent of Schley. The cat and kittens
were kept in constant turmoil. He
would head them off in every direction,
and bottle them up under the kitchen,
or behind the wood-pile, on all occasions.
The old ROSTERS life, too, was made Il
burden to him, for whenever he ap-
pcared on the scene Schley would chase
him all over the place. keeping up the
while Il rapid fire of banks which utterly
demoralized the dignilied veteran. on his
own dunghill, so to speak. Schley al
lowed no stagnation within the limited
range of his daily life. Everything was
kept on the qui vive among the furred
and feathercd tribe whenever he was
around, and he seemed always to be on
duty.
Sampson, on the other hand. was
much more quiet in his nature, had less
push and vim. lie might have been
deep, or he might have been simply slug
gish. Whether timid or not
could never tell, but certain it is that he
never troubled the cat and kittens, and
the old rooster, except by bombarybns
them with banks ut long range. inter
spersed with an occasional feint of at
tack His time was mainly taken up
by basking in the sun and swapping at
some too venturesome fly. Whether
Sampson was gun-shy, | will never
know, for | lost him not very long af-
ter he came to me. He developed a
bad habit of strayng off, and one morn
ing he went too far. and never returned.
Schley proved anything but gun~shy,
seeming to revel in the smoke and bang
of explosions. Until the Fourth of July
he had never heard a gun fire. On the
morning of the Fourth | was walked
early by the puppy barking furiousIy
When | looked for him | found he had
run the blockade of the servants in the
house, and was on top of the front porch.

not get down into the street below where
