THE CUBANS AND PORTO RICANS Will Become Quite Rapidly Americanized, It Is Believed, and Every Encouragement For Them to Do So Will Be Given To Speedily Perfect the Postal Facilities For Our West India Possessions Five Regi ments of Immunes to Remain in Santiago. Washington, Aug. ID. The White House, war department and the navy department yesterday resumed their usual Sunday quietude, a condition which lias nut prevailed since the Maine was blown up In Havnna harbor, Feb. 15. Secretary Alaer was at tho depart ment a few minutes, and also went to the White House, but did not remain long. General Corbln cama into his of fice duilng the day and looked over his dispatches, but did nnt remain con stantly on duty, as lie has been doing:. There were a few clerks about the de partments, but jseaiceiv a Siintlav passes In peace tlfnes that this does not happen. The busy, warlike attitude has entirely disappeared and Wasli InRton has settled down to a peace basis. The president believes that the most serious problem which thy peace com mission will be called upon to deal with Is the Philippines. ISefore the commis sion assembles it is hoped the aftulrs of Cuba and Porto Itico will be found In such process of adjustment as to leave little for the commission to con sider under thut head. The absolute relinquishment by Spain of all sover eignty over the Islands In the West In dies will allow only the property ques tions to be settled between the Gov ernments, that Is, what Spain shall take away and what shall remain as captures of war, and the protection of Spanish subjects and their property In the Islands. The greater questions growing out of the war as relating to Cuba and Porto Hleo will have to be dealt with by the United States alone. The fact that the Philippines will pie sent the difficult trouble in the peace negotiations has caused the administra tion to give It a pieat deal of careful attention. Several suggestions have been made as to what shall be done, one being the retention of the bay, city and har bor of Manila, Just what the protocol gives temporarily. Another Is that Sublg bay and sufficient amount of ter ritory for a naval and coaling station be secured and tha building up of an American city at that place begun. Still another Idea which Is being con sidered Is the retention of the Island of Luzon, the advocates of that plan believing that there would be trouble between the governments which oc cupied a portion of the island with a line of demarcation, such as would ex ist in the case Manila and the bay only were retained The Island of Luzon Is the largest of the group, and contains about 3,000,000 peojilo, which are said to be the better class In the Philippines It Is believed, however, that tho ad ministration nnd the commission will bo greatly influenced by tho reports which Admiral Dewey and General Merritt will make on the subject Their reports are expected before the com mission meets. The final determination as to the government of Porto ltlco and the set tlement of the government of Cuba are problems for settlement, but tho Im pression prevails that these Islands will become quite rapidly Americanized, and every encouragement for them to do so will be given. Porto ltlco will be under rnillta y control for the pres ent. Cuba also will be similarly gov erned, but It 1b probable that American reforms In the matter of government will be such that the ix-ople of Cuha will see the advantage of becoming an nexed to the 1Tnlted States. It Is thought the sanltnry Improvement of Havana and other cities, the manage ment of the municipalities and liber ality offered the country people will be of such a character as soon to con vince the people that the changed con ditions are for their good. There has been little doubt nbout soon settling the transfer of Porto ltlco, nnd the reception which Un American troops have received In thac Island is a Justification for the belief. Porto ltlco will be treated nt once as an American possession. The first movement In this direction will be ths sending of a delegation of ofllclnls from the pnstoftlco department to Investigate and report upon the mall facilities there now and to make such recom mendations as they determine upon. Mali routes, methods or transporta tlon and tho condition of postnfilces generally In the Island will be examln od. Military postofllccs will be es tabllshed at once wherever troops are stationed, and nt such other points as may be demanded by the Interests of Americans and tho people of tho Isl ands, If tho present ofilces aro not available. A similar course will be taken In Cuba, but this Is likely to bo delayed, as the Immediate removal of the Spanish and tho occupation ot the United Btatcs Is not expected. No more troops will be sent to Gen era! Merritt unless he asks for them. It Is believed at tho wnr department that the 16,000 men now there are sufficient to garrison Manila and the ground which the United States for the pres ent will occupy. All of the troops that were with General Shatter In the San tiago campaign will be out of Cuba by Friday of this week. General Shat ter will accompany them to Montauk Point. There will remain In Santiago five regiments of Imniunes to do gar rison duty. It Is yet possible that a battery will be sent to Santiago to take the place of the batteries which are to bo removed. General Miles has about 15,000 men In Porto Illco. They will be sufficient for the occupation of tho Island, and perhaps more thnn are needed after the Spanish evacuate. The remainder of the troops will re malif' in the various camps to which they have been assigned for the pres ent, thnugh something may be donp looking towards diminishing the num ber when It becomes apparent that they are no longer needed. The govern ment will dispose of tho transports that have been in use as fuBt as they can be released and aro no longer re quired for service. All vessels of the navy that can be spared fiom service in the West In dies will be ordeied to ports In th1 states, where tho men will bo given brief holidays. The big battleships of the fleet will bo put In drydock as soon us possible and undergo such repairs as may bo necessary, while tho auxiliary Vessels of the navy which will not be used for the permanent navy will be disposed of as soon as they go out of commission, probably being sold at auction. SAILORS COMING HOME. Our Marine Fighters, Glad to Be Relieved of Blockading Duty, Assembling at Key West. Key West, Aug. 15. In accordance with orders from the navy department following the president's proclamation of a suspension of hostilities. Commo dore Howell, of the north Cuban coast blockading squadron, Is rapidly as sembling his ships at Key West. Many arrived Satuiday and yesterday. The flagship San Francisco, with the com modore aboard, arrived yesterday morning. She looks none the wors for her experience off Havana early Friday morning. The hole torn In her stern by the 12 Inch shells from Morro Castle has been neatly patched and the damage to the ship Is inconsiderable. The larger gunboats und the torpedo boat destroyers have not yet received orders, but the torpedo boats and reve nue cutteis have ulready been called noi tli. Tho revenue cutter Hudson, which won, pel haps, thu highest distinction of all the- smaller craft by her gallant work at Cardenas during the Winslow engagement, left for Norfolk yeaterduy morning, and the revenue cutter Mor rill, which arrived from the Matanzas station yesteiday morning, sailed for Norfolk In thu afternoon. They were followed today by the res-enue cutters Woodbury and Windom, which came from Havana, and the lighthouse ten der Maple, from the Isle of Pines. The Fish Hawk, which only recently came down from Philadelphia, will return to League Island as soon as she has taken on coal and water.

HEROES FROM SANTIAGO, Including Roosevelt's Rough Riders, Arrive at the Government Camp at Montauk Point, L. I. New York, Aug. 15. Four transports, the St. Louis, Vlgllancin, Mattowan and Miami, having on board troops who were ordered home from Santiago de Cuba, arrived off Camp Wlkoff, Mon tauk Point, L. I., yesterday.

Suspension of Operations at the Army Local Headquarters. ARE HOW AWAITING ORDERS Lieut. Slvlter Could Have Recruited Almost Sufficient Men To-day to Make a Company, But He is Awaiting Word From Washington. Fully one hundred and fifty uieu loitered about the United States rcgulararmy recruit ing station for hours to-day. They were tlioro from an early hour this morning until lato this afternoon, and still many continued to wait. During all that time the recruiting oflico was closed. Lieut. Siviter was in tho neighborhood all day itnpationtly awaiting a telegram from headquarters to notify him as to what ho should do. Tho Licuteuant found on Saturday that he had more than sullicient rocrults for the regiment ho was sunt out to fill, but he con tinued enrolling them until tho squad got started Saturday afternoon for Camp Litlila Springs, when ho telegraphed to tho head quarters at Philadelphia and asked for in structions. A telegram in reply stated that his mossago had been forwarded to the de partment at Washington aud that ho should suspend recruiting pending a reply. Up to three o'clock this afternoon no reply had been received, but this had no cll'oct on the men who wanted to enlist and they wero still at the doors of the station. As tho collieries wero idle to-day tho streets wero crowded with people and it is probablo that many ot tho men who hung about the recruiting ollico woro thoro merely through curiosity, but Lieut. Siviter was confident this afternoon that had he been at liberty to proioed ho could liavo had at least seventy additional men on the list. Tho Polish and Lithuanian elements wero tho majority of tiie applicants to-day. Many of them wero employed at the collieries in the St. Nicholas district and refrained from going to the re cruiting station until after they got their wages. It is probablo that word will arrive from Washington to-night and it is believed that tho recruiting will be continued, as tho gov ernment proposes to increase tho standing army for the occupation of Cuba, Porto Uico and tho other newly acquired territories, aud the present force will bo greatly roduced when pcaco is finally declared, as a large pro portion of the men who enlisted from tho National Guards will return to their homes when the disbandmeut of tho volunteers takes place. Several letters from members of the first squad of recruits sent from town last week woro received in town to-day. They state that tho men aro in a theatre where head quarters have been provided for them, tho government's supply of tents on tho grounds having been oxhaustod ; but that more tents and equipments had been ordered. Lieut. Siviter stated to-day that this condition of affairs may lead to a temporary suspension ot recruiting. Application For l'imloii. At the meeting of tho State Hoard of Paidons at Harrisburg on Wednesday next. an application for tho pardon of Thomas J. Joyce, editor of tho Black Diamond, of Mali- anoy City, will be presented by friends of .Mr. Joyce. Petitions havo been circulated in all parts of tho county and have been num erously sigtied by prominent aud influential citizens. Letters havo bcon written by mon who have squirmed under Joyco's caustic pen, but who feel that tho cuds of justice havo been reached, and that the editor of tho Black Diamond, in this iustauce at least, is tho creature of circumstances. It is to bo hoped that the Board of Pardons will look upon the application favorably. Thoio familiar with the caso would heartily approvo of such action. His cstimablu wife and loving children havo not only borno tho disgraco of ills incarceration, but havo been rendered helpless and dependent. Joyco, like all human beings, has his faults as well as good traits, hut there are few. very few in Schuvl kill county who would not approvo of tho action of tho Board in granting a pardon. Justico should be tempered with mercy, and there should be nu delay on the pirt of tho Board if tho desires of the people of Schuyl kill county are to bo considered in extending that mercy. lEallwuy Changes. A largo forco of men aro at work making improvements on the Schuylkill Traction Company's lino between Thompson's hotel, lower Wm. Penn, and Lost Creek.
