LEE AND ALGER CONFER.
The Government OF Cuba the Subject
Under Discussion.

Washington Aug. l5-General Lee was
at the war department early today Lee
Is here for the purpose Of discussing the
administration OF Cuba. and he no doubt
will be one Of the commissioners appoint
cd under the protocol.
Speaking OF the future government OF
Cuba. General Lee said:
"As TO the probability Of the Cubans at
tanning a stable government, / presume
that as soon as possible a proclamation
will be issued setting apart a date for
holding a general election for the chief
executive OF the island and for the legis-
latlve bodies TO which all matters AFFECT
ing the future OF the island will be re-
ferred
This executive body. probably, will
adopt a constitution and make proper
laws TO put into operation the present
form Of government.
"As TO the army OF occupation, which
will be necessary to maintain our position
with respect to Cuba. q. 900 men will be
ample to garrison the whole island. or
this number possibly 25.OOO would be sta
toned In and about Havana. Matanzas
would be the next important point for
garrison
Properly directed. Cuba will have a
great commercial future Its unbounded
and great resources will be very rapidly
developed by American push, vigor and
capital"

of state has just issued the following:
"The following dispatch was received
at the department of state at il:i5 p. m,
August ii. from Consul wildmnn. Hong
Kong.
August says Dewey bombarded Manila
Sunday. The city surrendered uncondl-
tionally. August was taken by Germans
In a launch to the Kalserin Augusta ana
brought to Hong Kong I credit the re.
port"
The information contained In Consul
WildmauE' brief message aroused intense
interest but created no surprise among
those officials who read Il. For two or
three days news of the fall of Manila has
been expected, The last dispatches re-
celvcd from Admiral Dewey and General
Merritt indicated that Il was their pur-
pose 10 force the surrcsfer OF the city as
soon as possible
II Is believed TINT they Joined In note
10 General August IN demanding the
surrender OF Manila. thrcatning to make
combined sea and land attack upon the
city unless the demand was acceded TO.
While no Information other than that
received IN Consul Wildman's dispatch has
been received by the department. It Is In
a measure confirmed by the brief dis
patches tonight from Madrid. II the re-
port OF General August be true, and It's
accuracy is not questioned here. the prob
abilities are that oficlal dispatches Will
be received by the government in a day
or two at the latest.
The flight OF General Augusti from Ma
nila created some amusing comment to-
night, As one official expressed 1t. "had
he maintained his position, hard as ii was.
until the arrival OF the news OF peace, he
would have been a hero; but he fled. and
he will now be- branded as a coward.

LEE TO RETURN To CUBA.

Washington. August l5.-The Post to-
morrow will saw:
The president has practically determined
upon the military and naval officers who
will compose the Cuba and Porto Rico
commissions. 1t is probable that the
names will be as follows;
Cuban Commission-Major General ]. 5.
Wade, Major General NJ. c. Butler and
Admiral W. T. Sampson.
Porto Rico commission-Major General
John X. Brooke, Major General Theo
Schwan and Admiral Winfield S. Schley.
II will be noticed that the name Of Fitz-
hugh Lee does not appear in the list OF
Cuban commissioners. The omission Is
nob unintentional General Lee was or gin
ally slated for the place on the commits
sion. but will not serve. owing to his de-
sire TO remain at the head Of his army
corps, 1t is expected that this corps, the
Seventh will eventually be sent to Cuba
and in that event General Lee will go to
tthe island at its head, preferring that po-
sition to the commissionership.

was done to the city proper, only the out
skirts being bombarded. The date of the
bombardment was unknown to the Ger
man consul. who refuses TO say more.
General Augustin told lady that Ad-
miral Dewey demanded the surrender or
Manila In an hour, The Spaniards de-
clined to surrender and Dewey began to
lombard the city, and the Spaniards
holsted the white flag. General Augustin
Immediately jumped into the German

Washington. Aug. 5.-Secretary Alger
has received a letter from General Shafter
In which he says:
II cannot express my gratitude to you
for all the opportunities that you have
given me, and for the confidence that you
repose IN me, as is shown more strongly
than in any other way by leaving me un-
hampered in my operations against Santi-
ago. am very sorry TO see that some
newspapers are attempting TO throw
blame on your trying to run the cam
paign from Washington, and l suppose
some people believe it, 1t is one of the
things, however that | suppose we can
not help; although whenever had the op-
portunity | have tried to make it plain
that have been left to my own de-
vices"

truce with the notification OF the signing
OF the peace portocol. He was met by
Commandant Cervera in person.
After the communication had been
read. fluctuations and cigars were ex-
changed.
Flags Of truce are flying over our out
posts. It was suggested that they be
also planted over the Spanish lines and the
suggestion was accepted.
