Owing to rumors of ail Anarchist rising in Madrid, special precautious have been taken at the palace. Gen. Aguilcra, Governor of Madrid, lias made a personal inspection of the pal ace guards. The War Department decided, be cause of Hie sickness of the troops, to abandon all the southern camps with the possible exception of those at Jacksonville and Cliickamaugn.

An imposing ceremony took place at Notre Dame Church, Montreal, when Archbishop Rrucbesl was invested with the pallium. Gen. Wade's expedition to Porto Rico has been abandoned. Gen. Miles telegraphed that he had men enough. Some of La Bourgogne victims float ed alive four days and could have been rescued by prompt action.

Ilong Kong," Aug. 11.-Dispatches from Cuvite, under date of August 5, say: At 11:30 p. in., on Sunday, July 31. 3.000 Spaniards attacked the American camp near Malate, assaulting the trenches occupied by the Tenth Penn sylvania Regiment, Battery K and Battery A, Utah, and two other com panies of Pennsylvania troops. They charged the American right and near ly succeeded in cutting off the Penn sylvania companies, but the Ameri cans rallied aud repulsed the Span iards after desperate lighting, the American lire breaking through the Spanish center. "The Spaniards charged again, but were forced to retreat to the jungle, where they kept up a heavy lire on one of the roads leading to the Amer ican trenches, In order to prevent re inforcements from arriving. The First California Regiment and the Utah Battery K came to the rescue through a withering lire, and never wavered, though several were wounded. "The Spaniards charged several times, but they were met by a steady lire from the infantry and by shrap nel from the Utah Battery, so that eventually they retreated to Malale Fort, with a loss, it Is reported, of 30j killed and 1.000 wounded, though the report is probably exaggerated. " i lie insurgents rendered no assist ance. but retreated on the first shot. It Is believed that Gen. Aguinaldo, aware of the Spanish intentions, moved his men away. On August 1, the Spaniards made two weak attacks, but were easily repulsed. On Augu. t 2, tliey made another attack, when one was killed and eleven wounded. On the 3d there was a cannonade all day. "The electric lights are extinguished in Manila at night. The Americans, though under arms, do not attack • e city. The Spanish less in the miner attacks is not known. Mr. Williams, formerly United States Consul at Manila, has called the leaders in lii teen Provinces of the Philippines to a conference, from which good results are hoped." These dispatches say that up to August 5 Manila was "still Spanish." Spuln llu* ut Last Accepted Washington, Aug. 11.—Spain has ac cepted the peace terms of the United States, and the French ambassador, M. Cainbon, so notified President Mc- Kinley and Secretary Day at the White House Just before 0 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The acceptance has not yet been made formally, and will not be an nounced until the Ambassador has had opportunity to consult further with the Spanish government. No statement will be made by the Pres ident just as yet. but It Is probable that soon after Spain has been in formed of what took place ut Tues day's conference the President will be prepared to announce to the world that peace is assured. Gome/ lliMMk* u Troclia. Washington, Aug. 11.-Tlio Aniorlca'i arms sout Into Cuba on tile last Nu nez expedition of the Government steamer Wanderer, have been used with good effect by the Cuban soldiers under Gens. Gomez, lllaz and Itojes. News of Cuban victories in the West ern provinces has reached Washing ton, one of the battles being the larg est and most Important ever fought in that part of the Island. With the news of victory, however, comes a story of Cuban Sniftering from starvation and an appeal for further aid from the United -Stales. Tw > More l'rlzus ut Key West Key West, Aug. 11—The Norwegian steamer Aladdin, which was captured by the United States converted yacht Hawk while leaving Sagna hi Grande, where she landed a large cargo of food supplies and loaded sugar, has arrived here in charge of Lieut.

Tlio Furrngiitn WoniUr San Francisco, Aug. il.—The torpe do boat destroyer Form gut, which lias had her builders' trial, proves to be a wonder and her constructors ex pect that her official test will show her to be the fastest craft of her type in the world. If she does not make a speed of 32 knots, her builders will be disappointed. This was the second time she was out of her dock. With a little more than half of her horse power she made a 26-kuot gait over a liieimuEed mile. Mujr I'lny No More London, Aug. 11.

AGUINALDO NOW TRACTABLE Wants ilirt Men Formed Into Regiments I'niter American OtllcerH. Cuvite, July 31, byway of Hong Konj, August 11.-Af uiaald", the insurgent chief, is. becoming more friendly to the Ameri cans. In the first placo ho nslcs Gen. Mcrritt to permit the n b.:l troops to march through the streets of Manila whey '-he city sur renders. Gen. Merrltt appears incl nod to consent to this. It would gratify the vanity of the natives to let them indulge in what will seem a triumphal inarch as victors through the capital of the enemy. At tie same time the native troops being thus in line and under direct orders, may be more easily controlled and prevented from excesses. In the second placo Aguinaldo suggests the formation of Philippine regiments with American officers. This is considered an important propo sition, a possible key to the whole situation throughout all the islands. It is believed they would be obedient and easily con trolled under tactful commanders. American troops now occupy the trenches in front of Malate, a suburb of Manila, which were constructed by Aguinaldo. The Astor Battery, supported by a bat taliion of tlio Third Infantry, is now in position at the front, its guns being planted within a thousand yari's of the Spanish lines. Fathers Doughtery and McKinnon, the former being on Gen. Merritt's stuff, have gone to Manila to interview Archbishop Nozaleda, of the Archdiocese of the Philip pines, and to point out io him the futility of resistance to the American troops.

Coming North to Montauk Point, L 1., Because of Illness. GENERALS ASKED FOR IT. Transports cf Cavalry and Other Troops Are Now on the Way North. l'lie Kntlre Corps to lie Withdrawn from Cuba With All Possible Speed—The War Department. Now Says the Order for the Withdrawal of the Troops Was Issued llefore the I'nblieution of ltoose velt's Letter. Washington, Aug. 11.—The Adminis tration lias become so deeply impress ed with the necessity of withdrawing (Jen. Shaffer's army from Santiago at the earliest possible moment, that all tlie transport vessels wlileli the Quar termaster's Department can command have been ordered to southeastern Cuba. The expedition of eighteen vol unteer regiments under (Jen. Wade to Porto llieo has been postponed or abandoned in order that transporta tion may lie provided to carry the San tiago troops to tlie proposed recupera tive camp at Montauk Point, L. I. Tlie War Department, eager to defend Itself from tlie criticism which lias come from all parts of tlie country in I regard to tlie care of the sick and | wounded in Santiago and tlie general policy of the Administration in liold | ing the Fifth Corps in Cuba, lias is | sued the following statement: I "Until quite recently it was supposed 1 that yellow fever was epidemic in Santiago, and it was not believed that it would be safe to send shiploads north of men largely infected with i yellow fever. The disease, it was be lieved, would spread rapidly 011 ship board, and result ill the death and | burial of many at sea. 011 the 28th ult. the Secretary of War telegraphed (Jen. Shafter that as soon as tlie fever subsided the men of ids command would he moved north to a camp that had been selected for them 011 Mon tauk Point. On the 3oth of July Don. Sliafter telegraphed: 'Made known Secretary of War's telegram tliat I troops would lie moved north as soon as fever subsided, and it bad a very | good effect upon the men.' When, j however, the true condition was made known, 1111 order was iqpfTcd to (Jen. Sliafter to move his command 11011 h I as rapidly as possible, and all ships | in the Quartermaster's service possi \ hie to get to Santiago were sent there, j and tlie great liners, St. Paul and St. | Louis were also ordered there. All | this was done before the communica tion signed by (Jen. Sliafter and his | Generals was received and before Col. Roosevelt's letter \*is published. Over 150 surgeons are at Santiago and 176 immune nurses have been sent there, besides the usual hospital corps that always attends such an army. There have been less deaths in Santiago by yellow fever than by typhoid fever in any camp of the same size in the Uni ted States." Ca|t. Clark Hun Hrukeit Down. Washington, Aug. 11.—Capt, Charles 15. Clark, the commander of tlie bat tleship Oregon, has been "condemned" to use tlie technical term, by a board of medical survey at Santiago, and ordered to return to the United State.* 011 the lirst naval vessel leaving for au American port. Capt. Clark lias bro ken down under the terrible strain to which he lias been subjected in the last four months. Leave of absence in wlileh to recuperate lias been granted ' him, and if his health lias not been re stored 011 the expiration of the leave, it will be necessary to place him oi the retired list. It lias been deliuitelv settled, however, that Capt. Clark shall receive substantial advancement in Ids grade, ami If he is obliged to retire, the Navy Department will undoubted ly recommend that lie be promoted to flag rank on account of Ids brilliant services since he lias been in command of the Oregon. His successor on the big battleship lias not been selected. To Itttiifl Corvera's Warships. Now York, Aug. 11.—Tlie tugs Wil liam E.

Shaffer Sunday, Riv ing the sanitary situation in the army at Santiago for the day before, shows that (he yellow fever eases have con siderably decreased in number, and that tlie whole hospital list is shorter by several hundred names than It was a few days ago.

I. COMING YACHT RACE. Sir Thomas Upton'* limit Will Meet a New Craft to t>o Unlit by tlio Heircsliofts. London, August 11.—Sir Thomas Lipton, challenger for the America's cup. has Instructed 1 Milium Fife, of Fairlie to design a yacht to be built by llarlaud A' Wolff, the great shipbuilders of Bel fast. The Yacht llnclng Association meets this week, when a deputation from the Ulster Yacht club will attend and set tle nil the matters connected with the challenge, su fur us this side of the water Is concerned. Secretary Kelly of the Ulster Yaelit club, will accom pany Mr. Charles liussell, Sir Thomas I.ipton's representative, to New York, should the challenge be accepted by the New York Yacht club. That Sir Tbomns Upton's challenge for the America's Cup will be accept ed is a foregone conclusion, aiul it is equally certain that a new American yacht will be built -to meet her. 0. Oliver Iselin, who was managing own er in the Defender during the last in ternational races, said at ids home. 011 Premium Point, New Koehelle, that, although the Defender was believed to be the fastest single sticker in the world at the present time, the New York Yaelit club would not take any chances of her being outbuilt by any of the British designers. "The lines of a new 90-footor, guar anteed to defeat the Defender by a comfortable margin, are already com pleted by Nat IlerreslioflT," said Mr. Iselin. "Nothing, of course, lias been done in the way of laying her down as yet, for until the present time we have bad little cause to expect a challenge. We will be ready, however, when it conies in due form. "The bont will embotlj' some new features, but what tliey are I am not at liberty to state at present. The Defender might he good enough to win, of course, but we do not care to take any chances, which we would as suredly be doing by neglecting to con struct a new craft. It must be borne in mind that the Defender, when in dry dock three years ago at Erie lla sin. was photographed from number less points of view, and when It Is re called that her dimensions have been published minutely by the press on both sides of the Atlantic, it is easily deduced that any intelligent naval ar chitect would be able to abstract her entire model, and with no great effort build a counterpart of her. "This, of course, cannot be avoided now, and the only way out of the di i lemma Is to build a new and faster boat. Such a model is now in the I hands of the Herreshoffs. You must j excuse me saying anything more at present on the subject. I cannot say what material will be used in her con struction, nor whether it will be a syn dicate or an individual that will own her." N£%VB VA UAGIiAi'IfB. Spain's reply to our peace demands was received in Washington. The substance of it was cabled in advance, and the reply is said to tie satisfactory to our (lovernineiit. An armistice is expected forthwith and a pence com mission probably will be appointed ihfs week. The Liberal, the organ of the Span ish Ministerialists, significantly says: "Certain passages of Spain's reply may lead to an exchange of cable messages of a critical nature, possibly creating dillieulties." Secretary Long, having received sev eral letters violently attacking Admi ral Sampson, made public his reply to one of them, lie gives Sampson cred it for the destruction of Oervera's licet. Lieut. Holieoii called on Admiral (Jervera at Annapolis. He was warm ly greeted and the Admiral invited him to visit him at his home in Spain after the conclusion of peace. Wreckers examined the Cristobal Colon and said they feared it will be impossible to save her. Lieut. Ilobson still thinks she can be added to the American Navy. I>r. (loorge M.
