sador prevailed IN this is not Known,
but there is reason to believe that the
success he attained was limited, and
that the United States proposes to re-
tain some foothold a little more impor-
tant than a simple coaling station In
the islands.
Had our demand been limited TO a
coaling station there would have been
no doubt Of its acceptance: and 1t is
even proba ble that the concession might
have been made Of a considerable tract
Of land for naval station and a sup
porting zone. But 1t is believed that
there was strenuous objection to the
cession Of the city of Manila, the me-
tropolis of the group. and particularly
to the reference to a commission of the
question of the future government of
the isla nds: for the Spanish government
is desifous that its full sovereignty
shall remain unaffected and without
question. 1t is assumed that it was this
point which was the subject of amend
ment at the hands of the president,
though what form that change took is
still unknown.
AS some mention has been made in
of the acquisition by the United States
of one Of the Caroline islands it may. be
stated authoritativsly that the matter
has not been considered by the cabinet
up {" ts:. time The progress made in
the negotiations has given rise in some
quarters to ar expectation that hostili-
ties are to be suspended very soon This
will depend entirely upon the attitude
Of the Spanish government and the nat
ure of Its answer to Gun demands. 1t has
been made clear to the French ambas-
sador that hostilities will not be sus-
pended except upon the assurance of a
full acceptance CT our conditions.
Meanwhile. as an earnest that our
government has not interrupted the ex-
ecution of its campaign an order was
issued from the war department yes
terday for the dispatch of an entire
army division to reinforce Generals
Miles and Brooke in Porto Rico This
will be commanded by Major General
Wade. at present in command at Camp
Thomas. Chickamauga. The division
will consist of fifteen full regiments. and
General Wade will select them with
particular reference to an equitable rep
resentatior in the Porto Rican cam
paign Of all of the states of the Union.
Secretary Alger feels that his depart
nlent has been subjected to some unjust
criticism upon ths selection Of troops
fer active services and pronCunces as
without foundation the allegation that
politics have dictated theseassignments
This is especially SO in the case OF the
Fifth IllinSis
The persons best informed as to the
probabilities declare that the answer of
the Spanish government to the terms of
peace outlined by the government of
the United states is not expected befora
tomorrow. This opinion is based upon
a knowledge of TIE time when the Unit
et State. communication was received
in Madrid which was not until an cary
heur yeseerdsy morning: the time re-
quirsd 10 isciphsr it. the necessity for
an sIteldea consideration OF the matter
by the Spanish cabinet. and also th5

Aug. 1.-Gen. Mer-


w ritt cables the war department
that he finds the situation in Manila
very unsatisfactory and dangerous,
owing to the attitude of the insur-
gents, which is similar to that assumed
by Garcia's Cubans on the question of
their right to enter and take posses
sion of the city, though more formida-
ble because of their being more nu-
merous, better armed and flushed with
victories over the Spaniards. Gen.
Merritt says he will do his utmost to
protect citizens from insurgent saw
agery. though the task will be delicate
and difficult. because while fighting
the Spaniards he must be ready at any
moment to repel the insurgents. Gen.
Merritt said he was about to combine
with Dewey in demand fer the
surrender of the city, which
may cause 4 rupture with the
insurgents. This cable left Manila
Thursday and this movement may
have already taken place, though
there is some doubt, as Merritt
says he may need all his force be-
fore attacking. If he is to wait till
all the men billed for him from this
country arrives the attack on Manila
will not take place before the first Of
September. 1t May be, however, that
the arrangement rs to the Philippines
in the peace negotiations will obviate
the necessity of an attack on it.
Secretaries Alger and Long went into
conference with the president on the
situation at Manila as revealed in
Merritt's dispatch. Its significance is
admitted by Alger, but he declines to
state the exact nature OF the advices.

But when the daily bulletin chronicled

public accepted DR.. Schwemnger's as

The reports were deemed to be a
repetition Of the alarm that Prince Bis

Oft repeated in the past. All the Sat-
urday papers in Europe dismissed Bis
naarek with a paragraph, noting the
Improvement, while his condition was
completely overshadowed in the Eng

Prince ofrWales' knee. 1t appears that
the ex-chancellor's death was not pre-
ciHi.ated by sudden complications, but
was rather the elimination Of chronic

flS Mmation of the veins-which kept
him in constant pain that was borne
