Washington, Aug. If. Tow following
A Is patch waa received at the depart
aunt of state at U:1S laat night from
Consul Wlldman. at Hong Kong:
"General August!, who haa Just ar
rived here from Manila, saya Dewey
bombarded Manila on Saturday, and
that the city surrendered uncondition
ally. . August! waa taken by German
In a launch to the Kaiserln Augusta,
and brought to Hong . Kong. I credit
the report."
The information contained In Consul
Wildman's brief measage aroused in
tense interest, but created no surprise
among those who received It. For two
or three days news of the fall of Manila
haa been expected. The last dispatches
received from ' Admiral Dewey 'and
General Merrltt indicated that It was
their purpose to force a surrender of
the city as aoon aa posaible.
It is believed that thev Joined In a
note to General Auguatl demanding
the surrender of Manila, threatening to
make a combined aea and land attack
upon the city unleaa the demand waa
acceded to.' .
While no further Information than
that received In Conaul Wlldman'a dis
patch has been received by the ad
ministration. It Is In a measure con
firmed by a brief dispatch last night
from Madrid.
As soon aa the protocol was signed
last Friday afternoon dispatches -a-ere
sent to both Admiral Dewey ana Gen
eral Merrltt via Hong Kong. On Sat
urday the British steamer Australian
left Hong Kong for Manila bearing the
dispatches from this government. It
was expected that they would hardly
reach Manila before decisive measures
against the city had been taken by the
American commanders, but every pos
sible effort was made to insure their
speedy delivery.
EVACUATING SANTIAGO.
The Condition of PpanUh Troop Make
Open Air Cremation MwyMrjf,
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 16. The
Bpanleh1 Bteamer Isla de Luson saUed
yesterday for Bpaln, having on board
!,13 Spanish soldiers. The IiladePanay
will probably sail today, and she will
be followed by the P. De Satrustegui
The Montevideo arrived yesterday
morning, and will begin loading at
once.
The embarkation of the prisoners Is
being pushed with great activity. This
Is rendered imperative by their hor
rible condition. The mortality Is so
great In the Spanish camp, where dis
ease Is rampant, that no longer are the
dead buried. A funeral pyre of ten or
twelve bodies Is made, saturated with
kerosene and set on fire, cremating th
bodies In the open air.
The transport Breakwater sailed yes
terday with the Twelfth Infantry, and
the City of Macon sailed In the after
noon with. the 8eventh regiment. The
Leona leaves today with battery C, of
the Fourth artillery, the remnants of
the Ninth and Tenth cavalry, the Cat
ling gun detachments and Colonel Par
kef's two companies of the Thirty-
fourth Michigan.
The Clinton had arrived from Tampa
with medical supplies and several doo

MILITARY COMMISSIONERS
Who Will Restore Order lia Cuba aii
Porto Rloo.
Washington. Aug. 16. Today's Post
says: The announcement of the per
sonnel of the military commissions for
Cuba and Porto Rico may now be ex
pected at any time. The president haa
practically determined upon the mill
tary and naval officers who will com
pose the commission. It Is probable
that the names will be as foHows:
Cuban Commission. Major General
J. T. Wade, Major General M. C.
Butler and Admiral W. T. Sampson.
Porto Rloo Commission. Major Gen
eral John R. Brooke, Major General
Theodore Schawn and Admiral Win
field S. Schley.
It will be noticed that the name of
General Fltshugh Lee does not appear
In the list of the Cuban commissioners,
The omission la not unintentional. Gen
eral Lee waa originally slated for
place on the commission, but wilt not
serve, owtng to his desire too remain at
the head of his army corps. It Is ex
pected that this corps, the Seventh,
will eventually be sent to Cuba, and
In that event General Lee will go to the
Island at Hs head, preferring this po
sltlon to a commlselonershlp.
I'lenty of Food For Cnbans.
Washington, Aug. 16. The subsist
ence department of the army will have
plenty of supplies ready to forward to
Cuba In case It Is found that the peo
ple there must be supplied from the
United States. There are supplies at
Tampa and at many other points near
enough to- the seaboard to load avail
able transports when Information
reachea this government that they will
be needed. It la, of course, an aasump
tlon only so far that supplies must be
sent to Cuba. Since hostilities began
no information has reached this gov
ernmerrt concerning the reconcentra
does or any other portion of the peo
ple of Cuba within the Spanish lines,
That they are destitute Is Inferred from
the conditions which existed previous
to the war.
8panlarda Welcome Peace,
Madrid, Aug. 16. Duke Almodovar de
Rio has received an intimation that the
Cuban blockade has been raised and
cable communication restored. Numer
ous vessels are being prepared In Span
ish ports to take provisions to Cuba.
The next cabinet council will consider
the question of summoning the cortes.
Senor Sagasta, the premier, ia hope
ful that the ministers will be agreed
upon this point. The news of peaca
waa heartily welcomed In the Spanish
coast towns, and the families who fled,
earing an attack by Commodore Wat
aon, are now returning.
General Blaneo Restsms.
Madrid, Aug. 16.-The government
haa received from Captain General
Blanco a dispatch tendering his resig
nation. ' The reason given by General
Blanco for resigning Is that he does not
wish to superintend the evacuation of
Cuba.

ADVISE A 00UTIHU A5GE OF WAE.
At a Secret Meetlnar of Leaders, now
ever, at "Which General Garcia Waa
Preaenx, It Waa Decided That the'
Cuban Army Should Be Dtabanded.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 16. Trouble
with the Cubans la breeding. Their at
titude la one of sudden hostility to
wards Americans. The better class in
Cuba favor the annexation of the Isl
and to the United Statea and a majori
ty of the masses are ready and anx-
loua to work and accept the shelter
and protection afforded by an American
protectorate; but they are Influenced
by a certain class of rabid orators and
breeders of sedition and ' rebellion
against anything smacking of law and
order.
Thla Inflammatory 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 excltea
popular discontent This is exactly
the class that pushes itself most Into
evidence, and whose views and opin
ions are most overheard and published.
Their advice to the Cubana is to re
pudiate all offers of peace or a cessa
tion of hostilities, and to look upon an
armistice as an agreement between the
United Statea and Spain on their own
account, and not binding upon the free
and Independent state of Cuba, whose
liberating army not only repudiates
pacification, but will Ignore the armis
tice to the point of continuing to wage
war and shooting every Spaniard In
the field.
A wild rumor Is afloat to the effect
that the Cuban army will attack San
tiago and capture It, to the glory of
the Cuban arms, as soon aa the Ameri
can garrison ia weakened. This Is di
rectly traceable to the same source.
The influence exertad by audi a body
of men against law and order Is for
midable, and demands suppression
with an Iron hand. While still In em
byro, this Influence Is already felt
among certain classes, who refuse to
work or serve the government until a
clear statement of the freedom and In
dependence of their country Is made
clear.
A knowledge of this condition Is Im
perative to the moulding of the fu
ture policy and to explain whatever
harsh steps may be rendered necessary
In dealing with the Insurgents.
A secret meeting was held last night
at the palace between the commanding
pfflrers of the American army and the
Cuban leaders. The strictest secrecy
was maintained, but It can be nald with
good authority that General Garcia was
present. The Information obtained Is
to the effect that the Cuban situation
waa thoroughly reviewed, and that it
was resolved to disband the Cuban
army and that the United States should
pay the men off. This involves the
expenditure of $15,000,000, but It Is
most Important to the prosperity of
the Island, whose wealth Is entirely
agricultural, nobody, planter or farmer,
daring to cultivate his lands while
Insurgents bands are' In the Held raid
ing and burning.

A POBOlt MTSTERT.
Scathe tat Detasrare From Bating;
CandT Sent From California.
Dover, Del., Aug. 16. Whatever may
se the final result of the Investigation
nto the cause of the deaths of Mrs. J.
P. Dunning and her sister, Mrs. J. D.
Deane. all the Indications at present
are that both women lost their Uvea by
arsenical poisoning taken In the candy
sent from Ban Francisco by a person at
present unknown. The funeral of both
the vlctlma took place yesterday from
the home of their father, Ex-Congressman
Pennington. Prior to the services
Coroner Walls began an Investigation.
Dr. Bishop, who attended the women
after they had been taken 111, gave It
as hie opinion that the deaths were due
to poisoned candy. No analysis of the
candy haa yet been made, but Mr. Pen
nington will place samples of It in the
hands of several expert chemists. On
the result of these tests he proposes to
have further action. Minute examina
tion of the box, wrapper and contents
haa only served to deepen the mystery
as to the Ideatlty of the sender.
Within the box waa . a common,
plain white handkerchief, with the price
mark, K cents, still on one corner. The
note signed "Mrs. C." Is written on
ruled white paper In lead pencil, and
the worda "With love for yourself and
baby" are written Jerkily and in an
entirely different hand from the super
scription, very like a woman's hand.
There are two klnda of chocolate candy
in the box. one hard and similar to a
confectioner's make, the other' soft,
with every appearance of being home
made. The Impression of Dr. Bishop
Is that the poison will be found In the
latter kind. Mr. Pennington bellevtw
that the box with pure candy was
purchased, after which It was opened
and the poisoned candy placed along
side with the good. He states It as his
firm belief that his daughters were In
tentionally poisoned, but thinks the
candy was only Intended for Mrs. Dun
ning and her baby. He states that he
will make everv effort to solve the
mystery surrounding the case.
