Certain members of the cabinet expressed the opinIon that the president would have some news for that body when it meets tomorrow , which was construed into an intImatIon that the am- bassador's call probably would be made in the niorning. OfficIals show no loss of confidence - fidenco In their original opInIon that the Spanish government will authorize M. Cam- bon to sIgn the protocol just as it was trans- mitti from Washington to Madrid last evening , Wnuutetl Strncglt , 'o1nts .nrrenilcred. The naval war board , led by Acting Secretary - tary Allen , called On Judge Day about noon. It is ielIOVCd their purpose was to Impress on time secretary the Importance of makIng time surrender of important strategic points at the entrance of harbors , such as Morro castle at Havana harbor , a conditIon for the cessation of hostilitIes. It Is questionable - able , however , whether it Is not now too late to amend the protocol In Its substance as proposed by the war board. A runmor was afloat this afternoon to the effect that Secretary Alger , In anticipation of the beginning of the formal peace rue- getiatloums. had cabled General MIles and General Merritt , in Porto Rico and the PhIlIppines respectively , orders that looked toward a cessation of hostilities.'hen his attention was dIrected to this rumor , See- rotary Alger promptly pronounced It to be without foundation , and as absurd , and his words were practically repeated wIth em- phasls by Adjutant General Corbln , through whose bands any such messages must pass. The publicatIon of such storIes , moreover , was deprecated as tending to encourage the Spanish government to further delay any passive resistance. As a matter of fact , General MIles seems to be pressing cablegram receIved from 1dm Into in the afternoon , reported the forward movement of General Schwnum , in charge of one of the divisIons of thto American army and the ensuIng - suIng skirmIsh.

Merritt Is undoubtedly pursuing hIs cam- palgn lii Luzon. It is stated positively that ho is under no restraining orders from the \'ar department , but that it Is left en- tireiy to hIs own discretion wheui and how to attack ManIla , Inasmuch as it has been reported from Cavito that he was simply awaiting the arrival there of this double. turreted monitor Monadnock it is presumed this attack wIll soon follow , if It has not boon made already , for , according to the calculation of the Navy department , the Montuinock is about duo now at Cavite. 'u\'ltilo mmot quito clear as to General Mer- rltt's ' purpose In deferring hula attack until the vessel arrives. It Is time opinion of time mIlitary authorities that hIs plan Is to plant time two monitors , Monterey and Monadnock , directly withIn range of time Manila bat- terles , and If a demand ( or surrender Is refused , to batter down their lejermses , Only full ) ' armored vessels can be safely eni- hmioyed In such work , hence thus delay on account of tire ann-arrival of the Monad- nook. Secretary Alger today cabled to General MIke to apply Immediately to time Porto Rican pertH eapturet by 1dm the tariff drawn up by the tovernment for Santiago and other Cuban vorts. This Is In lIne with the policy of the War department. of cx- tending the inuerlcan system of tarIffs us rapidly as possible over captured territory. The settlement of tlao details of thus sync- natIon of Cuba and Porte Itico Is already receiving the earnest attention of the cm- dais. Some provisIon Is to be nuado for the treatment of the SpanIsh prisoners and for the ulispoltIon of the email arms and time artillery stud , s'ar stores. There is alsO some naval property of'auo ) remaIning In Cuban and Porto Rlcami ports , and It is a question 'vlmetlmor or not this should be demanded by us or be allowed to remain In Sponish possession.

( es iicne1tc % 'nsimItigtnsi , The bulletin from MadrId announcing that the SpanIsh cabinet had aimproved time peace protocol and that the French nmnbas- safer would receive instruction to sign it was very gratifying to the administration , but it was expected that such would be the course of time Spanish government. It is confidently expected that the signatures wIll be affixed to this document to morrow and inmmnculiately thereafter bothu governments will begin carrying out its provIsions. The first wIll be time cessation of hiostIli- ties , followed immediately by the occupation - tion of Manila by General Merritt nnd the United States troops under his command , the occupation of San Juan in I'orto Rico by General Miles and the evacuatIon of that Island by the Spanish forces , It is he- hiovemi tlmat there will be delay In time evacu- atloim of havana , Matnnzns and other Span- isim strongholds In Cuba , as some dimcuitles cure anticIpated in arranging for a iroer form of govcm'mlmcnt of Cuba and because there is no desire to hurry American troops Into time island at time present time , time lircferenco beIng to walt for cooler weather. The near approach to time signing o time protocol hams required time dIscussion of the personnel of the peace comnimilasion. Timers Is good authority for time statemnent that Secretory lay will be at the head 'of the commIssion and that two United States rca- tutors will be niemnbers of it. Scnator AlIt- Son of IOwa and Senator German of Mafy- land have been prominently nientiommed for places on the commission and It is known they have been under consideration by the president , It Is not believed by members of tlmo admInistratIon that the commission can complete its work In time to cumiso an extra sessIon of congress to consider legislation which time treaty of peace vihl necessitate. although there Is a prospect that an extra session of the animate might ho called in November to commaider the treaty of veaco. lst flny of I lie " .Vasr , ) Iriybe. \\'ASh1INGTO ? , Aug. 11.-Up to the hour or midnIght time presIdent has reesiverl no omcial cornimmumulcation as to the action of the Spanish government , but It was stated by those who saw hIm tonIght that he was very exacetamit that this w'as the last day of the war.
