A GRAND NAVAL REVIEW
OF cervera's Dsstroyers to Take Place. Sat
urday, at New York.

Washingtons Aug. 15.-The navy de-
GRAFTON a review of the principal war;
ships of Admiral Simpsons fleet in
the harbor of New York, next Satur-
day afternoon.
Four battleships and two armOred
cruisers of the fleet which rendered
such noble service in off the coast of
Cuba, eliminating in the destruction
of Cerver's fleet of Spanish warships.
are expected to arrive at the Metropo-
lis by the end of the week and in res
ponse to popular demand the naval
authorities are disposed to have them
pass in review through the harbor and
up the North river as far as Grants
tomb at Riverside Park
If present plans are carried out the
vessels will fire a salute at that point
and turn down the river to their an
chorage in the bay.
1t was first proposed that the OFF,
GERS and men attached to the fleet
should march in parade through the
principal streets of New York city in
order that thy might give them a well
come worthy of their efforts In behalf
of their country, but a suggestion to
this effect was not favorably received
at the department. where it was
thought, in view OF the severe hard
ships which these men have under
gone. that they should be subjected to
the fatigues of long march as soon
after their arrival in New York

SERIOUS TROUBLE
Feared from Cubans Who OBJ
jet Il, Protectorate.
Rumors Of Attack on Santiago When
American Army is Weakened.
Cuban and American Lsadsrs Decide 10 Dis
band The cusaa Army.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 15.-Trouble
with the Cubans is breeding. Their
attitude is one OF sullen hostility to-
ward America. The better class in
Cuba favor the annexation of the is
land to the United Staes and major
ity Of the masses are READY and anx-
ious to work and accept the shelter
and protection afforded by an Ameri-
can protectorate. but they are influen-
ced by q certain class OF rabid orators
and breeders OF sedition and rebellion
against anything smacking of law and
order.
This infiammatory class demands
and urges the recognition OF Cuba for
Cubans and spurns all offers or .sug-
gestions tending to prosperity under
an American protectorate and excites
popular discomfort They are exactly
the class that pushes itself most into
evidence and whose views and opinions
are most overheard and published.
Their advice to the Cubans is to re-
ton of hostilities and to look upon the
armistice as an agreement between
the United States and Spain on their
own account and not binding upon the
free and Independent state of Cuba
whose liberating army not only repu-
dates pacification, but will ignore the
armistice to the point of continuing to
wage war and shooting every spaniard
in the field.
A wild rumor is afioat to the effect
that the Cuban army will attack San
tiago and capture tito the glory of the
Cuban army. al soon as the American
garrison is weakened. This is directly
traceable to the same source.
The influence exerted by such a body of
men against law and order is formidable.
This hysterical people demands suppress
sion with an iron shand.2 While still in
embryo. this influence is already felt
among certain classes, who refuse to
work or serve the government until a
statement of the freedom and indepen-
dence Of their country is made clear.
A knowledge of this condition is i'm
perative to the mounting of future policy
and to explain whatever harsh steps may
be rendered necessary in dealing with the
insurgents.
A secret meeting was held, tonight, at
the palace, between the commanding off,
GERS of the American army and the Cuban
leaders. The strictest secrecy was MAIN
tanned, but it can be stated with good au-
thority that Gen. Garcia was present.
The meeting lasted an hour and half.
The information obtained Is to the effect
that the Cuban situation was thoroughly
reviewed and that it was resolved to dis
band the Cuban army and that the United
States should pay the men of.
This involves an expenditure of $4,000
600, but it is most important to the pros
perity of the island, whose wealth is
entirely agricultural, nobody. planter or
farmer, daring to cultivate his lands
while insurgent bands are in the field
raiding and burning.

eral Sentiment in a Letter.
We Are About 10 Take Position At Head Of
All Nations.

Minneapolis, Aug. 15.-John GOodnOw.
consul general at Shanghai. China. in
a private letter. discusses the expan-
sion policy as follows:
I'VE should hold the Philippine
islands. the Caroline islands and the
Ladrone Islands, also Cuba and Porto
Rico. It does not matter whether we
call them war indemnity or what. We
need them in our business. You have
no idea and cannot have until you get
out here how all nations are fighting
for trade and what an intense jealousy
there is of the United States. Just
now the continentsi-peopie seem more
jealous of us than even OF England.
IF We are to have anything to say.
we must havS a navy To have a navy
We must havenndaling, stations That
means the Sandwich islands and the
Philippines. To handle our navy eco
nomieally and effectively We must
build the Nicaragua canal and in my
opinion we should buy strip of land
across Nicaragua to build our canal in
our own territory.
Look on the map showing the routes
Of full power steam vessels and you
will see that every trade route to the
isthmus passes Cuba and Porto Rico
and a strong country controlling those
two makes the canal at the isthmus a
private waterway whenever it wants
to. Also Cuba controls the Gulf OF
Mexico and the water routes to the
mouth of the Mississippi. 1t is a big
programme, but l think we have got
to do it.
England controls absolutely one
route to the Mediterranean and Suez
canal. Let us control the other route
by the Nicaragua and the Anglo Amer
lean alliance rules the world. Not a
continental nation would dare oppose
us fors'w could starve them out. We
are the people If We take our oppor-
tunities as they come along"

Chickamauga National Park, Aug.
15.-It is probable that the 3rd Divis-

depart Thursday and Friday of this

site further UP in East Tennennessee.
The suggestions of the past few days
as to the crowded and inadequate hos
pitfalls at Camp Thomas are bearing
fruit. Improvement can be noted in
all and the patients are now receiving
much better attention.
The hospital Of the ID Division Of
the LIST Corps has been provided with
new tents. flooring, etc., and the
crowded condition of the hospital has
thereby been greatly relieved.
The hospital OF the Bird Division, LIST
Corps is still uncomfortabIy crowded.

hospital having simple breathing room.
There are in the 3rd Division hospital

typhoid fever.
The surgeons are tioing everything

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE recon-
struction of affairs in Cuba, Porto
Rico and throughout the Spanish West
Indies is receiving earnest considera-
ton in official quarters, and at the
White House, today, the President saw
a number of callers in connection with
this reconstruction in our new insular
dependencies. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
spent some time with the President,
going over the condition OF Cuban at
fairs. While no announcement was
made the impression prevailed that
Gen. Lee would be one of the military
commanders to be named within a few
days.
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy
also saw the President concerning Gu
ban affairs. 1t is probable that an
American naval vessel will go to Ha-
vana harbor before long and at least
two naval vessels will be ordered when
the military commission assemblies
there to determine the details of the
Spanish evacuation.
Secretary Day also conferred with
the President and later decided to take
a weeks vacation. He will leave
eithr tonight or tomorrow morning,
going probably to Canton. Assistant
Secretary Moore will be acting secre-
for of no 10 70 nj, <1,sv; IN
Judge Days absence. The secretary's
retirement from the head OF the state
department is likely to follow soon af
ter his return from Canton and in
deed it may come during his absence,
although there was no outward evil
dence. today, that he was about to
close his connection with state affairs.
The navy department decided dur
ing the day to yield as far as practi-
cal to the public desire at New York
for a naval review of the ships of Ad-
miral SIMPSONS fleet. Accordingly
Acting Secretary Allen issued the fol-
lowing order:
1.-THE department is much gratified
at the desire expressed to see review
of the warships and cruisers expected
home and SO far as practical is desir-
GUS of carrying out the wishes of those
citizens who wish to see the ships.
But neither the officers nor the men
Of the fleet are in condition to partici-
pate in a street parade.
"The department is taking the OPP
portunity of the armistice to put these
ships at once into the best possible
condition for such uses as may here |
after be required of them. It is ex-
pected that all other work will be |
suspended and the entire available
force of the navy yard directed to this
work, in order to secure the greatest
possible dispatch.
1.-THE department will direct that. up
on arrival in New York llarbor the
fleet will steam up the North river as
far as Gen. Grants tomb. fire sa-
lutte and the steam bacB to the anchor
age. 1t is expected th3t the fleet will
reach New York on $ ftnraay :. the goth

l. washington, aug. l0-MaJOr General
Fitzhugh Lee, in command Of the 7th
Army Corps at Jacksonville, Fla. to-
gether with Seeretary1Alger.c conferred
for an hour, today, with the President.
Gen. Lees experience as consul general
at Havana has given him an intimate
knowledge of Cuban conditions which
will be awaited of by the administra-
ton. It is generally expected that he
will head the military commission
which will adjust affairs in Cuba and
also ne has been strongly urged for the
governorship OF that island after the
functions of that commission cease.
On both OF these points. however,
Gen. Lee asserts he knows nothing.
He would not speak of the subjects
discussed as the result of his trip here
beyond saying he had been talking
over matters in Cuba generally. Then
he added: 1.-THE first work which will
have to be done in Cuba, will be to
make arrangements by which all the
municipal machinery can be put in
operation. all the towns and the gov
ornamental machinery throughout the
island for each district.
There will have to be military con-
troll, suppose, until such time as the
people interested can organize and put
into operation a government which
should be stable and strong enough to
impartially protect the interests Of
Spaniards, Americans Cubans and the
peoples q all other nations now on
the island or who may hereafter go
there
rs there probability of Spanish in
terests suffering through the Cubans?"
The Spanish property holders. mer-
chants and all other classes Of Span
iards. naturally would unite with all
the rest Of the Conservative inhabi-
tants for the preservation Of all the
citizens. and think these will help the
natives and the Americans to maintain
a strong safe government. The most
difficult problem to solve Is the first
organization of a preliminary form OF
government, as later the island win he
very rapidly Americanixed. and all |
such questions win take care of them
selves.
As to the probabilities of the Cubans |
attaining stable government, 1 presume
that as soon as possible a proclamation |
will be issued setting apart date for the |
holding of general election for Chief |
Executive Of the island and for leeisla-
tive body to which all matters affecting |
the future Of the island win be referred.
This legislative body will probably adopt
a constitution and make the proper avs
to put into operation 4he political form
Of government.
"As to the army OF occupation which
will be necessary to maintain our posi-
lion with respect to Cuba. l5ooo men will /
be ample 10 garrison the whole island.
Of this number possibly 5 600 will be stall
TONED in and around Havana. Natansas
would be the next most important point
