orufttott TWO CENTS. SOUANTON, 1A., THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 11, 189S. TWO CENlVS. DELAY IN PEACE NEGOTIATIONS Twenty-Four to 48 Hours Before Another Step Can Be Taken. A Protocol Must Be Prepared The Naval Officers Anxious That Some Substantial Pledge Be Secured Before the Gov ernment Enters Into an Armistice Probable Peace Com missionersPlans for the Reduction of the Nayy The Monitors to Be Retired. Washington, Aug. 10. The prelimin ary negotiations looking toward the confirmation of peace advanced a long step today when tlio secretary of state and tho French ambassador agreed upon tlio terms upon which future ne gotiations for a treaty are to be con ducted and reduced these to the form of a protocol. This protocol, It is true, Is yet to be signed, and Is to be sub mitted to the Spanish government be fore tho formal signatures are nfllxed, but the administration's view as to the progress made today was set out In Secretary Day's sentence: "It is ex pected that this protocol will bo exe cuted." There is always the possibility In dealing with tho Spanish govern ment that it may recede at the last moment from an Implied agreement, but It Is scarcely probable that it would be willing to Involve the French am bassador in the dlfllculties that would follow what to tho world would seem to be a repudiation of his benevolent efforts in behalf of Spain. There must be a delay possibly from twenty-four to forty-eight hours before the next step can bo taken and the protocol made binding upon both tho United States and Spain by tho attachment of the signatures of tho plenipotentiaries, Secretary Day for tho United States and M. Cambon for Spain. The delay will bo largely attribut able to physical causes. The protocol is long; It must bo translated and turned back and forth into code and simple language no less than five times before It reaches Madrid through the French foreign office. This work was not begun until lato this afternoon, ufter it had consumed the best energies of Assistant Secretary Adee, of tho state department, and M. Thlebaut, secretary of the French embassy, in the preparation in formal shape of two copies of the protocol, one in English and one in French. These were pre pared very carefully, the idiomatic var iance in the two languages necessitat ing the greatest caution in order that the Identical character of tho two copies should be preserved. The length of tho protocol imposed a great amount of labor upon the cipher checks, so that altogether it is apparent the con sumption of time involved in purely mechanical functions will bo so consid erable as to make the rendition of a very early answer improbable. CHAItACTEK OF THE PHOTOCOL. As to the character of the protocol it can be stated on authority that tho terms are In all practical points those set out in the abstract of the presi dent's conditions published from the "White house a week ago. From this fact it is deducted that tlio extra con ditions or qualifications sought to bo Imposed by the Spanish government were abandoned at least In large part by tho French ambassador. This de duction Is supported by tho circum stances that In the early morning, nnd before the conference between Secre tary Day and M. Cambon which result ed in the agreement thero was a preva lent impression, based upon tho utter ance of public men who had talked with the president, that the Spunisli answer was unsatisfactory and that the negotiations looked as if they might terminate suddenly. An this situation changed so suddenly after the conference, it may he fairly as sumed that the ambassador abandoned the conditions which the president was reputed' to have regarded as unsatis factory. It is believed that the pro tocol carries within Itself provision for tho cessation of hostilities. On this point tho naval contingent Is urgent thit our government adopt tho Napo leonic policy of refusing to enter into an armistice without acquiring Borne substantial pledge to secure the consummation of peace. What they particularly desire is that our govern ment shall demand as a condition of the cessation of hostilities tho surren der to tho United States military forces of Jforro castle at tho entrance of Havana harbor and somo such points of vantage at the other importunt ports, in the territory soon to fall un der our control. SELECTION OF COMMISSIONBH8. Tho peace negotiations arc now be lieved to he advanced to a point where, tne president has felt warranted in turning his attention to the selection of the commissioners to be charged by tho United States with the drafting of n. treaty of peace. So far ns can bo gathered but ono name has been posl tlvrly determined upon, namely, that of .Secretary Day, who will head the commission. Beyond that point there Is no certainty, although some prnml nont names have been brought for ward. Mr. Woodford, our last minis tcr to Spain, has been also mentioned, thoush as ha is credited with enter taining a deMre to return to Madrid In the capacity of United States min ister after the war, the two ambitions might conflict, a peace commissioner not always being welcome as a min ister resident, particularly where ho has been party to forcing nn obnox ious pence upon the country to which he Is to be accredited. Ono of the names that finds universal approval among persons versed in diplomacy Is that of Mr. KustN, ex-ambassador to France, whoso staunch Americanism, combined with diplomatic knowledge mid legal ability, are urged as fitting him especially for appointment as peace commissioner. The fact that Mr. Eustls is a Democrat would not mili tate against his chances, as It is pre sumed the president would rather pre fer to mak'.' the commission non-partisan. ItEDirCE NAVAL ESTABLISHMENT Tho naval officers have made up their minds that peace Is at hand and are planning for the reduction of tho naval establishment to a peace liaslH. The first step to be taken will be the retirement of the monitors from active service. They are uncomfortable craft to live In and afford the men littlo opportunity for general train ing. Another matter which has re ceive! attention Is the promotion to be accorded to olllcers who have dis tinguished themselves during the hos tilities. A step was made in this di rection today by the submission to the president of recommendations by tho secretary of the navy for tho advance ment of all the officers of Sampson's lleet who distinguished themselves.. It was announced some time ago that u board would bo nppolnted to decide on aljpromotlons to lie recommended, but for somo reason this plans seems to have been abandoned so far as some of the chief officers were concerned. MOKE TROOPS FOR MEKRITT. General Merrltt's force In the Phil ippines is to be increased by the 7,000 troops now at San Francisco which will be sent as soon as the transports can be obtained. 'Secretary Alger said today that 2,000 would sail at once. The department has not sufficient transports at hand to convey the remaining C.000 at pre sent but the secretary says with those already arrived and on the sea to gether with tho 2,000 which are to leave San Francisco nt once General Merrltt will have a force of 18,000 and there will be no hurry for the embarkation of the remaining troops. The depart ment has hud an offer of two ships to transport the troops but consid ered the prlco nsked excessive and It is probable the return of tho transports that first went to Manila will bo await ed. The secretary today cabled Gen eral Merrltt asklnz him when it was expected the transports would return to San Francisco and If they nro like ly to reach that point within three weeks. Their return will be awaited as it will take at least that length of time to get new transports in readi ness to carry troops. CARRANZA ROBS UP. Refuses to Give the Location of His Hiding Place.

Aguinaldo's Power Is Waning Insurgents Realizing the Un substantiability of His Promises Our Troops Disgusted with His Conduct Two of His Ships Provisioning to Insure His Escape if Necessary Splendid Work of the American Field Hospital at the Battle of Malate Span iards Used Brass-Coated Bullets, Cavitk, Aug. 3, via Hong Kong, Aug. 9, (delayed in transmission). The Americans are disgusted with the con duct of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, whose power is waning, owing to the fact that the Filipinos are realizing the unsubstantiability of his promises. Two insurgent steam ships are in Manila bay provisioning, in order to insure Aguinaldo's escape if necessary. The American field hospital worked splendidly, under a galling fire, at the battle of Malate, and the remarkable cour age and steadiness of all ranks, regulars and volunteers, caused General Greene to officially thank the troops. The Spaniards used Mausers and Remingtons, with brass-coated bullets. London, Aug. 10. The afternoon newspapers com ment on the battle of Malate as being a repetition of the now familiar story: "The Spaniards, brave and incompetent, firing wildly and attacking too late, and the Americans brave, cool and skillful, notwithstanding that their operations were conducted in the midst of a tropical monsoon." The papers also refer to the "ominous neutrality of the Filipinos" as being evidence of trouble in store for the Americans. GARCIA'S TROOPS OCCUPY GIBARA LT.
