RAYS MEN ARE IN Santiago.
IMMUNEs ARRIVE AT DEsTINA.
TION AMP DIsEMBARK.
REVIEWED BY GENERAL WOOD.
Captain Yancey Cartsr's Company Wac
Fret to Form After tho Landing.
Wilson sent 20 siboney.

A special dispatch 10 the Atlanta
Constitution from Santiago states that
Colonel Rays regiment OF Third Uni
ted States Volunteers arrived there
Thursday morning. anchored in the
harbor and during the afternoon the
work Of disemb arkation began.
The first company TO form on land
was that Of Captain Yancey Carter,
which he Immediately put in motion
for the place where IL passed In review
before General Wood, who warmly
complimented Captain Carter on the
appearance OF his men.
Captain Edward Wilson's company
was not allowed TO have q rest, but
was Immediately marched out to Sibo-
ney, where its duty will be TO protect
the citizens against the ravages Of Gu
ban outlaws.
The whole regiment is in excellent
condition, having suffered no casualty
on tho trip.
The outrages which have been COM
muted in Santiago by the Second and
Fifth volunteer regiments surpass de-
scription. The regiments appeared
to be without control or discipline and
broke ranks shortly after reaching the
city, going through from house to
house, committing robbery, murder,
rape and arson. The frightened Span
ish and Cuban women fled in ter
ror before these Infatuated flends,
who ran them down, committing un-
mentionable crimes.
General Wood is highly indignant
over the disgrace which has thus been
placed upon American arms. OF oil
the atrocitities which have been
charged to the Spanish troops during
their occupation Of the island none
could have exceeded the terrible bru-
talities which have been committed by
these two regiments.
Colone Ray says that his men will
show different record, because they
are better men. and they are undor
perfect discipline.

Casualties of CAPITALIZATION.

Regarding the taking Of Manila II is
learned from an American naval officer
who arrived at Hong Kong Tuesday
that Admiral Dewey, on August 9th,
demanded the surrender of Manila
within forty.eight hours, tho Spanish
commander replied that the insurgents
being outside the walls, he had no
safe place for the women and children
who were nthe city, and asked for
twenty-four hours delay. This Ad-
miral Dewey granted.
At the expiration Of the specified
time, Admiral Dewey and General
Merritt cosulted and decided to post.
pone the attack.
On August 18th the American squad.
ron formed in line off Manila. The
Olympia fred the first shot at the Ma
late fort. The shots of the Americans
fell short, and some time was occupied
in finding the range. Then the CAL
lao, one Of the gunboats captured by
Admiral Dewey from the Spaniards,
got under the fort and sent In hot
fire. Great destruction was done with
the rapid fire gurs. The fort failed
to reply, but fired on tho American
troops that were storming the Spanish
trenches. The large American ships
were ordered to cease firing after an
hours work, owing to the failure OF
the fort TO respond.
The fighting in the trenches was
most fierce. Fifteen minutes after the
Spaniards were driven to the second
line Of defense, they were forced to re-
treat to the walled city, where, seeing
the uselessness Of resistance, they sur
rendered, and soon afterwards q flag
OF truce was hoisted over Manila.
The Belgian consul at Manila, M.
Andre, boarded the Olympia and re-
turned with an American lieutenant to
the Spanish military governor, who
agreed to surrender. General Merritt,
proceeded 10 the palace at $50 o'clock,
and there found the Spaniards formed
in line. The troops surrendered their
arms, but the officers were permitted
to retain their swords.
Losses on american SIDE.
The American loss is reported 10 be
six or eight killed and forty wounded.
The Spanish loss was considerable,
but the exact numbers are not obtain
able. The trenches were filled with
badly wounded Spaniards.
Manila is now under martial law,
with General Merritt as military gov
ernor.
The California Red Cross Society
rendered valuable aid to the sick and
wounded.
Perfect order prevailed In Manila on
the evening Of August 18th. As the
Americans marched In guards were
placed around the houses Of all for.
eigners, In order to prevent their be-
ing looted.
The iDgurgents were not allowed to
take part in the attack upon the city,
but were kept In the re,r OF the Amer
leans. In order 10 prevent bloodshed
they were forbidden TO enter the city
after the surrender, unless they were
unarmed.

Preparing FOR EVACUATION
THE SPANISH CABINET ARRANG.
ING TO GIVE UP CUBA.
SENIOR SAGASTA GIVES HIS VIEWS.
A Strong Probability That the Peace Ne
gotiatIons VIII he Tedious aud
Long Drawn Out.

A Madrid cable dispatch says: The
cabinet council at its meeting Friday
night decided to appoint General Con
zales Parade, second in command in
Cuba, Rear Admiral Luis Pastor Lam
dero, who succeeded Admiral Navarro,
the Spanish commander in Cuban
waters, and Marquis de Montoro,
minister Of finance in the insular
cabinet, as the commission OF evacua-
ton for Cuba.
The peace commissioners have not
been nominated, but IL is believed the
composition of the commission has
been decided upon, though the names
OF its members will not be published
yet, as the government is resolved to
take advantage Of the delay granted by
the protocol in order to avoid n cabi-
net crisis.
The government has resolved to in
sist that the. capitulation Of Manila
after the signing Of the protocol shall
have no effect in the peace negotiations
unfavorable to Spain.
In any event, the government holds
that the capitulation, having been
signed by the commander of the town,
does not entail the surrender Of the
whole Philippines.
All indications are that the peace
negotiations will be prolonged. The
opposition factions are redoubling the
agitation for convoking the cortes and
it is said that Senior Sagasta begins to
hesitate, although he shares the opin-
ion of Duke Almodovar de Rio, the
foreign minister, as to the inconveni-
ence involved in q meeting of the
cortes and series Of debates during
the peace negotiations. II is possible
that the cortes viii meet after the
elections to the councils general about
the middle Of September.
The papers advocate the strengthen.
ing Of Ceuta and Andalusian ports in
anticipation OF Anglo Russian event
uality.
Ell Liberal publishes remarks made
by Senior Sagasta on the diplomatic
aud political situation, quoting the
premier as follows:
"From legal point Of view the
present state OF things is neither peace
nor war, but merely suspension Of
hostiities.
San armistice would have allowed
us to dispel better the obscurity OF the
situation, but the United States de-
clined 10 agree to our making step
further in advance.
1.-THE questions to be solved are
numerous and complex. What we
have done first is to lay down certain
bases on which each minister may
make any observation which study Of
the subject suggests. These will con-
tinue TO be treated in daily cabinet
councils, it being held that bases in
question are the fundamental instruc-
tions for guidance of the various COM
missions in the forthcoming negotia-
tions to be supplemented and rectifed
subsequently by the telegraph.
SIN Cuba, beside evacuation, there
are many other problems. Spain may
abandon her sovereignty over the
Greater Antilles, but there will remain
the question of edifices and all our
properties"

ed, will reasonable on September

ALL OF PHILIPPINES OURS.
WHOLE GROUP WAS INCLUDED IN
TERMS OF SURRENDER.
SpAINS COMMISSIONERS NAMED.
The Instructions which Wore Sent 20
General Merritt Are Made Public
BY Secretary Aiger.

The war department made public
Thursday the dispatch Of General Mer-
rift, giving the official story Of Manila's
fall, and also the text OF the significant
instructions sent General Merritt We'd
nesday, requiring the insurgents and
all others 10 recognize the authority
of the United States in the territory
occupied by our forces. These dis.
patches we're the only positive develop
ment Of the day.
Nothing had been heard from Gem
eral Merritt as to the casualties Of the
Manila battle except that he estimated
the killed and wounded at fifty.
Another point on which the officials
are without definite information Is as
to the extent Of our psesent authority
in the Philippines. Under the peace
protocol, the United States was given
the occupation of Manila, with the bay
and harbor, until permanent dispo'
sition Of the Philippine question was
reached.
But according to press dispatches,
which are, however, 80 circumstantial
as TO be credited in most official quar-.
tiers, General Merritt and Admiral
Dewey received the capitulation of the
entire Philippine archipelago.
There appears to be some doubt,
therefore, even among officials, as to
whether our present authority and
jurisdiction covers Manila only, as
provided by the peace protocol, or
covers all the Philippines.
There is disposition to await fuller
official information before laying down
policy as to the extent of our juris-
diction in the islands. Secretary AL
ger said that he had heard moth
ing official of the surrender of the en-
tire Philippine group. At the same
time the secretary did not discredit
the accuracy Of the press advices stat
ing that the capitulation had this far
reaching effect.
Assumes Authority Over All.
Pending more definite information,
the attitude OF the officials is to as
sumo that our authority covers Manila
city, Manila bay and harbor, and also
reaches other territory as may be oc-
cupied by the military and naval
forces. The latter phrase is elastic
enough to cover any or all Of the
Philippine islands that may have been
brought under our authority by the
recent surrender.
The instructions sent to General
Merritt have in view the expansion of
our possessions, based on the terms
mentioned in the protocol, as they
distinctly state that this government
is in possession of Manila and that its
authority to preserve peace and order
will be exerted "within the territory
occupied by their military and naval
forces"
Spanish Commissioners Appointed.
A special from Madrid says: Gener.
al Blanco, Castellanos and Admiral
Manterola have been appointed com.
missioners for Cuba and Generals
Macias and Ortega aud Admiral VAL
larino for Porto Rico. It is probable
that Senior Leon y Castillo, the Span
ish ambassador to France, will pre-
side at the sessions of the Paris COM
mittee. Senior Moret's appointment
10 made impossible by the hostile atti-
tude of the press.

ployes which were cut during the time
Of depression several years ago.
The company has issued circulsr
to this effect, and the wages Of en-
