which wii. Un exhaustive treatment
f the i.avit br.n.ch of .the campaign,
with cyr.:d,r..'.!.t tent ion to the mili
Ury branch, owing o the joint otiera
tiona of ihij mo branches during several
stage of the war, and particularly in
the siege at ii,t,it;o.
Speaking informally today of his ob
servations, Cnpti.in Paet said it had
been nhown quite dearly that the naval
branch of the service should have com
plete control of a.l army transportation
ly w. lie pi inta out that this ih the
pract ce ti e world over. In the British
rerv.ce ail transports are under the con
trol of the admiralty.
BflOl;l.l WORK TOGETHKtt.
When troops are to be shipped the
ar offic'alit incite known to the admi
ralty the nam her of nien in the ext.edi
t on, the divbions into infantry, cava ry
and artiihry, and the various require
ment of the e' u-ral divis'ons. It then
1 coins the du'y of the naval branch
to jroviJ the transports, carry the
troop?, keeping the several divisions
distinct and with their equipment and
provide all supplies iequired for the trip.
A naval t.ili.r, usually a lieutenant com
Biander on the retired list is placed in
command on each transport, it being
impossible to secure proper service from
merchant captains. The naval branch
ako conducts all loading and unloading
I the troops and supplies, this being a
I pinch in which naval officers are well
versed. It is not until the troops are on
land that the army authorities assume
eirtction of a Hans. This practice, in
general oieratiou in all the large coun
tries, particularly those having colonial
poseeiwions, could be adopted with ad
vantage by this c.untry, in Captain Fa
cet's opinion, as much of the confusion
in the transportation nod landing of the
rtny tnpptit-s was due to the inexperi
ence of merchant capiaini of transports,
and to the direction of all sea trampor
tan on by the army rather than by the
avy.

Paget speaks highly of our new battle

specifications. He says foreign naval
experts long recogn.zod that lirst thus
warships could be ouillinthe United

our ships ecel or even equal, thoie of
British build. In tnis connection, a
prominent Atio rican naval ollicer re

during the early stages of the war, was
revelation to the authorities here,
Insofar as its guns and armament art

Madrid, 6ept. 21. The workmen of
BlIDao, where the erniaor wi icl, l.

built, have decided to go to Santander
In order to make a demonstration
against the defeated Spanish admiral
oo his return to Spa n. The govern
ment, however, has taken measures to
pi-even' the plan being carried otif, and
the ministry ha forbidden demonstra
tions w lcoming Cervera home.
Capta'n-General B anco cables from
Havana that he is not in accord with
the Cuban colonial ministry, to which
the government here replied that while
Spanish sovereignty eiisied in Cuba be
must apply autonomy, and therefore he
could not tum out the colonial govern
ment now in office and appoint a new
one.
The Duke of Teutan, who was minis
ter for foieign affairs in the cabinet of
the late premier, Canovaa del Castil'o,
is quotKl as Baying in an interview:
"Senator CanoTan, if he had lived,
would never had accepted war with the
Unit! Sta'es. Canovas and myself
Were convinced that wjr would lead in
evitably to the ruin of Spain."
"Continuing, the duke blamed the
liberals, w ho, he said, could have avert
ed war, either by accepting the proffered
good cilices of the United States min s
ter Geueral Stewart L. Woodford, or by
treating with the insurgents on the ta

Cuba. "Senor Sagasta," the Duke ol

Ti is in all Colonel Bryan would say
except to ad-f : "You might also say tl:at
I am not so enamored of camp life that
I would at the close of war apply fur a
pommiwion in the regular army."

When asked if he would talk freely

WismsoToir, Sept. 20. Five regi.
ments now at Sa Francisco have been
ordered to Manila, Arrangements for
their transportation will be made at
once.
The regiment ordered to Manila are
the loilowina: Fiftv-first Iowa. Twen-
tietn Kanea.. First Tennessee. FirHt
Washington and a detachment of tbe
Second Oregon.
It wai stated at the war department
that no exigency had arisen which
made it neoe-sary to send the troopa
now at San FrancUco to Manila, but
tbe order issued today was in accordance
with tbe general plan of the department
regarding a garrison for the Philippines
That plan of parrison duty included 20,
000 men for the Philippines, 12,500 for
Porto Rico and 60,000 for Cuba. The
troopa to be sent to Manila under to
day's order will fill the complement for
that station. The troopa would have
been sent before, it was said, except that
the department was awaiting the return
of passports.
It ia not expected that the troops now
at Honolulu will accompany those to be
embarked at San Francisco, but that
more troops will be sent to Honolulu in
the near future.
OKOF.KB QIVKN OUT.
The following is the order directing
the movement of troops from San Fran
cisco: Commanding General, Department
California, San Francisco: With the ap
proval of the acting secretary of war the
Fifty-first Iowa, Twentieth Kansas,
Firtt Tennessee, First Washington and
detachment of Second Oregon volunteer
infantry, now at San Francisco, are
hereby relieved from duty in the depart
ment of California, and will proceed to
Manila, Philippine islands, reporting
upon arrival for duty to the command
ing general, United States forces, at that
point.
The quartermaster's department will
furnish tbe necessary tranHportation,
especial care being taken to provide suf
ficient space; and the subsistence and
mi dical departments are changed with
providing a nple and suitable depart
ments, to insure the comfort, well-being
and health of the troops en route.
By command of Major General Mil a
II. 0. CoKBfcM, Major-General.
It is B'ated at the quartermaster
genoral's office that the returning trans
ports which have been to Manila on
one trip will be used to take the troops
now at San Francisco to the Philippines.
Two of these steamers are expected la
arrive in a day or two. Other steamen
now on their way will be gent back as
soon as loaded with tr.'Ops.
The advance guard of the naval expe
dition for Honolulu and eventually for
Manila started yesterday, when tbe
Aharenda, a collier, sailed from Fortress
Monroe, via Brazil. The-plan is to have
two of tliec illiers precede the battle
ships, and two to go along with them.
In addition to thebe Acting Secretary
Allen today ordered that the Celtic, a
rcfr geralor and supply ship, and the
Irk ship, a distilling ship, be added to

DANGERS IN DELAY
ARCHBISHOP OF THE PHILIPPINES
SPEAKS PLAINLY-
ri Kiprmel That moody Wars will

Ie parting.
Mahila, Sept 1' , In an interview
here with him by the Assoi iated press,
Archbishop Boisal, ot ttie Philippine
Islands, sail :
"I earnestly hot the islands will not
remain Spanish, Itecause the rebels are
now st-ong that such a course would in
evitably cause appall inu bloodshed. The
reeonquest of the natives is inijiog-tibla
nntil after year of the most cruel war
fare." He also expressed the hope that the
islands would not become absolutely in
dependent, because it was certain that
d'ssentions would occur which would
result in incessant strife and a lapse into
barbarism and the natural indolence of
the tropical race. The only hope, the
archbishop declared, was that a slrorg
western power would intervene now.
Delay was dargerous, because the peo
ple were intoxicated, vainglorious and
restless. He said that it was undenia
ble that the religious orders must go,
because the whol people had determin
ed to abolish them, now that they were
able to render their retention impossi
ble. He added that the rival orders
quarrel among themselves, intrigue, act
unworthily and slander their opponents,
thus increasing their general disfavor.
The total number of Spanish priests
in tbe Philippines before the war was
about 1,000, but lately every departing
steamer has taken fifty or a hundred of
them away, and how barely 600 remain.
A native priest privately stated to the
correspon lent that the reason the arch
bishop hopes for the expulsion of the
(riarly orders is that they have grown
to) powerful for him and that he wishes
to s rengthen himself.
Several responsible Spaniards assured
the correspondent that they would refuse
to remain here if Spain was reinstated
in the control of the islands. Spanish
soldiers will refuse to serve again. Span
ish officers are utterly disgusted with
the rottenness of Spain's government
and prefer to become Ametican subjects
The annexationii-tn have a majority of
seventy-one in the national assembly,
but the discussion of the subject has not
een finished.

Can Mavcr Forjiva
Niw York, Sept. 17. A dispatch to
the Herald from Havan says :
For the first time since the peace pro
tocol was signed Captain -General Blaneoi
bas consented to speak of the war. This
is what he said :
"I am naturally inclined to be charit-,
able and I am incapable of hating any
one, but I confess to a feeling of deep
resentment against the United States,
whose conduct toward Spain in declaim
ing war against us, without motive or
pretext, just at the time when they
were receiving from us the highest
marks of friendship and respect, ean
never be condemned too severely.
"It ought never to be forgotten that
when the United States were announc
ing their intention of coming to Cuba
to establish a firm government, they
were in reality directing hostilities prin-
cipally against Porto Rico and the Phil-
ippines. Since the beginning of this
war it has always been my heartfelt
desire as commander-in-chief of th
army for the day to arrive when I could
march my armed strength against theirs
and die, if necessary, among the ruins
i of Havana, if fortune were not favorable
but I was unable to realize my hope.
"My government has signed the peace
protocol, and its decision must be com
plied with. Nevertheless, I have an
eternal confidence in divine justice, and
I have therefore hope that this arregant
nation will receive its jut deserts, and
God knows that the day when this act
of national donpolation is accomplished
and the stars and stripes float from tbe .
wallB of Havana that day may mark the
j beginning of the decay of the American
nation. Before it is all over, I wish to
put myself en record as having no dis
like for the army of the United States.
On the contrary, I have the highest ap
preciation of its noble and courageous
behavior.
Prepared to Evacuate
San Juan, Inland of Porto Rico, Sept.
17. (delayed in transmission.) At their
meeting today the Spanish evacuation
coinmiKoioneru agreed to begin the for
mal withdrawal of their 1 nes within
two days. They will evacuate Lares,
San Sebastian and Aguinaldo, in the
northwest of the island, withdrawing
crowds the capital. Under thearmistic,
they could not withdraw their culprits
without permission. Detachment ol the
Eleventh ii.fantrv wil. occuov the ter-
filory aud raise the American flag. The
abandonment of the other outposts will
follow. Ttie Spanish commissioners un
derstand pei fectly that tha evacuation
of the islands must be in accordance
with the, terms of the r.tocol as soon as
transports can be procured.
Transports from the feyer-infected
port of Culia cannot, they say, be used
to convey uninfected troojis from Porte
liico. The troops from Cuba aud Porto
Kico are to be landed at different ports
of Spain. The Spanish authorities here
cannot control ihe transports in this re
spect. They must await the pleasure of
Madrid.
Our cuimius.-ioiiers realize the
force of this argument, and they are
willing to make leasouable concessions.
