CAPTAIN GENERAL BLANCO.
Must Remain in Charge Preceding
Evacuation of Cuba.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA dispatch to
the Herald" from Havana says: Cap
tain General Blanco made it evident
that the Government will not allow him
TO resign until matters in Cuba have
been settled. He made public this cir
cular, which he has sent to the military
camps, and which shows that he re-
mains in charge of the events preced-
ing the evacuation:
The Secretary of War tells me the
protocol with preliminary negotiations
for peace between Spain and the United
States has been signed. Send your or
ders at once to suspend hostilities of
the army on sea and land under your
command. If the insurgents do not re-
spect the suspension of hostilities put
yourself in communication with the
commander of the American troops, to
act and repel any insurgent aggression
which may occur before We come to an
acknowledgment with the American
troops. Place the troops occupying the
railroad and territory under your COM
mand. Give your especial attention TO
the comfort of the troops, and for these
also place yourself in communication
with the American troops if they exist
in that territory"

GENERAL AUGUST.
He Did Not Leave Manila Until
After the Surrender.

MADRID, Aug. lit is now assert
ed that General August left Manila
after the surrender. The Government
has received his report giving details
as to the surrender, but it is not yet
ready to publish it. 1t is asserted that
General August on August 9TH refused
all propositions to surrender.
BERLIN, Aug 1.-THE "Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung' explains
that the Kaiserin Augusta, which
brought away General August from
Manila, left the harbor after the sur
render of the city, and asserts that the
Spanish officers We're allowed to go free,
SO that General August was able to go
whittier he pleased.
When Admiral Won Diedrichs per-
mitted him to go to Hongkong on
board the Kaiserin Augusta, says the
paper, it was by agreement with the
American commanderin-chief if in
deed the German Admiral considered
such an agreement still necessary.
Moreover, it is also to be observed that
the Spanish troops at Manila may by
mutual consent proceed to Spain or
Hongkong.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA dispatch
to the "W orld" says:
August claims that he offered to sur
render himself personally to Admiral
Dewey ten days ago. Dewey refused
to accept his surrender unless he sur
rendered the city at the same time.
He told August that if he had good
chance to run away he had no obJec-
tons. August requested the Germans
to carry him to Hongkong. He denied
that the Kaiserin Augusta brought him
to Hongkong. The Philippine Junta is
delighted with the news.

The occasion was the opening of a
new cable between Cape Cod, Moss,
and Havre, on the French coast, and
the wires were connected to effect a
thorough circuit between the White
House at Washington and the Presl-
Dental palace at Havre.
1t was 1925 o'clock this morning
when M Cambon, the French Embas-
sador; M. Thiebault, the First Secre-
tary, and ambassador Cambon's young
son, together with Acting Secretary of
State Moore, arrived at the White
House. They were ushered upstairs
and finally into the War Room, where
Representative Taylor of Ohio joined
the party. There was first a test of
wires, beginning with the line from
here to Cape Cod, thence to Havre.
When all was in readiness President
Mckinley, Acting Secretary Moore, M.
Cambon and his son and M. Thiebault
and Representative Taylor stood back
of the key, while President Faure and
some friends We're at the Havre end.
The message from M. Faure was as
follows.
'"ro mis- excellency, President McKin-
ley, President of the United States of
America: 1t affords me special pleas
ure to inaugurate the new submarine
communication whoch will unite more
directly than heretofore our two coun
tries, by addressing to you an express
sion of the feeling of the lincere SYM
pathy existing between the French Re
public and the Republic o. the United
States. l desire also TO renew to you,
Mr.. President, the assurance of my
high esteem and constant friendship.
"(Signed), FAURE."
A minute later, at 1913, President Nc
Kinley sent the following response:
ITO his excellency, NJ. Faure, Presi-
dent of the Republic Of France: I am
happy to believe that every addition
to the means of communication be-
tween two countries can result only to
keep alive and to strengthen that feel
ing Of cordial good will which has so
strikingly characterized their relations
both in early and recent times. Permit
me, Mr.. President, most heartily to re-
ciprocate your expressions Of esteem
and friendship

GENERAL JOE WHEELER
Has Long Conference With Pres.
ident Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Aug 11.-General
Joseph Wheeler had a hree-uuarters of
an hour conference with the President
to-day. The President wanted to talk
over the conditions in Cuba with Cen
aral Wheeler, and this was the object Of
Geographic summons that brought
the General here.
The President put numerous questions
to the hero of the Santiago campaign,
and received not only an account of
his general experience in that cam
paign, but also his views on various
issues incident to the condition of af-
fairs on the island. One point that was
suppermost was the possibility of a
rupture with the Cuban insurgents
General Wheeler's statements were
very reassuring.
"All the friction" he said between
the Americans and Cubans will soon
pass away, and there will be harmony
and the best of feeling between them
He said there was a class of men in
Cuba who had never been friendly to
the Cubans, but on the contrary had
been favorable to Spain, who would
likely do all they could to keep up this
misunderstanding, although he did not
apprehend any dangerous results
General Wheeler suggested that the
charges against the insurgents of TAX
ing articles in the field had extenuating
circumstances, and especially in view
of the starving condition of many of
them. General Wheeler believed the
Cubans in time, when freed from OPP
preston and when given a stable and
humane government, would become
law abiding and useful people
The President is solicitious about the
health of Montauk Point camp and
gave explicit instructions verbally to
General Wheeler as to the conduct of
the camp. He wanted everything pos
sible and reasonable done for the in
terests of the men at the camp.
General Wheeler later went to the
War Department, and had an interview
with the Secretary. General Wheeler
received orders to assume command at
Camp Wikoff until the arrival of Cen
eral Shafter. General Wheeler was
told by the Secretary Of War to spur
chase everything that was necessary
for the comfort of the men, and to
spare nothing that would alleviate the
sick and wounded General Wheeler
left tonight for New York, and will go
to Montauk Point.

MANILA CABLE.
It's Reopening Surrounded by Some
Complications.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lit was
learned at the War Department that
the reopening of the cable to Manila
was surrounded by some complications.
This cable was laid by a British COM
pany by permission of the Spanish Gov
eminent, which granted the company a
subsidy. When Admiral Dewey cut the
cable because the Spanish authorities
would not allow him the use of it, it
was sealed up at Hongkong by order of
the Spanish Government, and it is
claimed that an order from the Span
ish Government will be necessary be-
fore the company will be authorized to
reopen it.
1t had been believed all along that
as soon as Manila was in possession OF
the Americans the cable company
would feel at liberty to restore COM
munication between sHongkong and
Manila. But this is not the view of
officials of the War Department, who
have been looking into the subject.

could not be stayed. With a loss #
five killed and over two-score wound I'd,
they drove back the Spaniards and
captured the trenches.
In short time the white flag was
hoisted by the Dons, and 1909 soldiers,
1900 rifles and a great quantity Of
ammunition was Surrendered. The
Spanish loss has not yet been ascer-
tanned 1t is probably several times
as large as that Of the American forces.
The Spanish forces numbered about
5000 men, but they were well in
trenched. Nearly 10000 Americans We're
engaged in the assault, and their loss
under the circumstances is considered
small The Colorado troops were the
first to storm the trenches, and every
man was a hero.
When the white flag went up Captain
General August jumped into a launch
from the Greman cruiser Kaiserin Au-
gusta. The cruiser then left with him
on board for Hongkong.
The Filippinos are glad that the
struggle is over. The shops are again
open, the blockade has been raised, and
things will soon be just as they We're
before Admiral Dewey came to destroy
Spanish rule here.
SEVEN THOUSAND PRISONERS
CAPTURED.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA dispatch to
the World from Manila, dated Au-
gust 18th, via Hongkong, says:
Manila was captured on Saturday.
August 18th, by the combined land and
naval forces of the United States. AT
8 o'clock in the morning Admiral
Dewey's fleet opened fire on the Malate
fort and the Spanish trenches, and con-
tinued two hours. There was no re-
Spouse on the fleet, but heavy fire on
the troops rushing along the line was
made
After the formal surrender the Suan-
ish flag was replaced by ..S>-xAmerican
flag. We captured 1000 prisoners, H.
600 rifles and unlimited ammunition.
General Merritt has assumed commend,
restoring the civil laws. eight Amer
leans We're killed and fifty wounded.
The Spanish loss was much greater.
The ships We're not struck. The block
ade has been raised, and the shops are
reopening. The people are pleasd.
TROUBLE WITH REBELS
NEW YORK, Aug. IA dispatch to

is rumored here that the United States
troops at Manila have had trouble with
the rebel forces under General Aguin-
aldo. According to one account the in
surgents, upon whom various restric-
lions had been placed by Major General
Merritt, mutinied at not being permit
ted to have any share in the surrender
of the city. 1t is said that they at
tackled the Americans in the trenches.
The officers of the German warship
Kaiserin Augusta are under instruc-
tions to give no information about the
bombardment, but it is freely stated
that there was great loss OF life on
both sides.
There are a great number of steamers
here preparing to leave for Manila with
provisions.

No Sanguine Hope Of Saving

SANTIAGO, Aug. 11.-(J:20 %. ND
Three hundred and seventy-five pa
tents from the hospital at Siboney were
brought to Santiago this afternoon, and
VIII leave on the hospital ship Quita-
MIA tomorrow. The Eighth will leave
on the Mohawk. One company of the
Thirty-fourth Michigan Regiment will
go in the morning to Gutanamo Bay
for transportation on the steamer Reso-
lutte.
over 600 refugees from the province
of Santiago have returned within two
days from Jamaica. They are mostly
planters and their families.
The authorities are finding great diff
Guilty in maintaining discipline in the
city. The immune soldiers are caus-
ing much trouble, and though the city
is being patrolled by the Eighth ILL
nois Regiment (colored), it will be nee
essary to supplant them with a spe-
cially organized police force.
The Associated Press correspondent
to-day visited the wrecks of the war
ships of Admiral Cervera's fleet. Cap
tain Sharp of the Merritt Wrecking
Company is working vigorously to float
the Maria Teresa, and expects to get
her atloat and in such condition as to
enable her to come to Santiago within
a fortnight. The Maria Teresa has a
hole fifteen feet long in her bottom,
very close to the keel. This is being
closed and stopped with unriveted
plates, solder and cement and bagging
Captain Sharp suggests bringing the
Maria Teresa first to Santiago for tenn
Havana, where it will be possible TO
patch her up sufficiently for her to I'M
dertake the voyage north. He thinks
the vessel can be fixed so as to make
her available as a firstrate cruiser.
Captain Sharp, however, has no san
guine hopes of saving the Cristobal
Colon. In fact, he considers the task
practically impossible, despite the con-
trary opinion entertained by some. and
he could not guarantee that the vessel
can be fioated. The salvage of the
Reina Mercedes and the Merrimac. he
says, Will be easy. Both can be float
ed with little difficulty, and he will un-
dertake the contract with confidence.
The Almirante Oquendo and the Viz
caya are both total wrecks, and are
not worth saving for junk.

the largest and most formidable battle

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE successor
to Dr. John L. Withrom of the Third

consideration. Dr. d. w. Graham, one

candidate. Friends of DR.. Coyle say
he has been considering the Chicago po-
sition, and will accept if it is offered
him.
If Dr. Coyle comes it will be to a field
with which he is already familiar. He

nue. Presbyterian Church, coming here
from Fort Dodge, Ia. From Fullerton

taking rather than on the basis of the
mutual arrangements between the two
countries. This may become material
when the question arises as to the flu
ture of the Philippines, for 1t is likely
to proceed from the American stand
point that Manila was taken by force of
arms and is so occupied
There has been no time to consider
what will be done with the 1000 Span
ish prisoners taken, but the fact that
an amicable understanding has been
reached with Spain as to the occupa-
ton of Manila will probably operate
to tighten the conditions of those pris-
