gogtic art" about to bo dccor.Urd. sonio
with thocrouof tlio Legion of Honor,
other with life-wing inodnls by Pros
dent I'iHUM, for (lie ullegcd heroism
which they nro asserted to have, nh own
at tlio time of tho disaster. This Is
tho result of tlio lti(ulry Instituted by
tho nnvnl authorities at Havre, nnd
the minister of inirlnu, M. Loekroy,
f.on-ln-law of France's groat poat, Vic
tor Hugo, has submitted to President
J''miro the names of tho members of
thu crow who nro to receive decora
Ions.
According to tho oftlclul report, tho
charge of cowardlco and savagery
brought against the otllccrs nndtho
crow of tlio unfortunate vcssj! are
"shameful calumnies," anil tho hope
Is expressed that tho honor about to
bo conferred upon them by tho French
government will In some way utouc
for tho Injustice of the slanderers of
whluh tlioy have been the victims.
Tho ofllclal report admits that there
wan a good deal of brutality and sav
agery displayed, but i It Insists that
the crow and the officers of tho vessel
were entlroly Innocent thereof, nnd
that it must bo laid at tho door of cer
tain of tho steerage passengers.
Tho report, which is the joint worlt
of the naval and criminal authorities,
practically declares that the only man
guilty of this savagery nnd brutality
"wrongly ascribed to the crew" was
tin Austrian ntccragc pa.v.enger of tho
name of Louis Possett, who, owing to
the "negligence of tlu I'nltod States
authorities," was permitted to cseapa
la New York, and who has thus
"placed hlmsslf beyond the reach of
French Justice."
The report conclude with a Mngu
Inrly ungenerous slur upon the vic
tims of tho disaster, for it declares
that they wc.-o so paraly.ed with fear
mid c.o entirely helpless from conster
nation that they would not even ac
cept tho offers made to them by the
Trench crew to embark in boats.
"Tho French sailors did nil th.it was
humanely possible to savo the passen
gers," This Is repeated no less than
threo times in Hie government report.
Finally, the report places all tlio blame
for tho disaster on the Cromartyshire,
and protests against tho theory thai
tho commanders of liners flying either
the French or any other foreign flag
are under obligations to follow any
particular route.
M. Liebroo, who lost both his chil
dren in tho disaster, has, along with
four other French passengers who sur
vived tho disaster, oll'cred in vain to
testify against members of tlio crew
whoso names lie mentions and against
Third Engineer Lulsno, but hu has
been unable to find any of tho naval
or criminal authorities willing to take
his evidence, and considers himself,
under the circumstances, fortunate in
having been able to Induce French
newspaper of such importance ns the
Temps to publish his letter of pro
test. WHEELER DEFENDS SHAFTER,

Washington, Aug. 1ft. With peaco
proclaimed all of tho energies of the
military ami naval establishments to
day were directed into pacific chan
nels. The orders given for tho im
medlat cessation o! hostilities brought
all military and naval movjuunts to a
halt, nnd'lt now remains only to bring
affairs baclt,to a peaco Imls. In this,
however, tho authorities aro acting
upon the theory that tho protocol is
only the first step toward peac', and'
that not until a llmil and lasting peace
Is seen red can th -re bo an entire re
turn to a p.vici' bisls.
This Is particularly true as to tho
navy department. In that branch It
is accepted that permanent peace will
undoubtedly bo made, anil yet Instead
of stripping our shipt, redistributing
them Into squadrons on a peace basis,
and returning them to their old ehan-iii-ls,
the navat authorities net upon
the principle that tho prjsjnt armis
tice may end in a resumption of hos
tilities. For that roar.on the four bat
tleships and two armored cruisers or
dered North fiom West Indian waters
are to undergo a complete overhauling.
The peace protocol will glvo a breath
ing spell and tiiiu for bringing every
ship back to the highest state of per
fection. Tho complete return to a
peace basis, tho establishment of peace
squadrons, etc., ia a matter for tho fu
ture. It is expected that tho American oc
cupation of Manila will occur Immedi
ately after tho receipt of the orders
scut Admiral Dewey and General Mcr
rltt. During tho early hours of to-day the
war and navy departments received no
acknowledgments from tho various
naval and military commanders, but it
was presumed that the orders suspend

WAR DEPARTMENT FAILURE,
How tlio I.umlou 'lhnr Cotmiumtt on tin
Noglect nf Our Troop.
London, Aug. HI. The London
Times, in a special article reviewing
tho operations of the Hispano-Anier-lean
war, says:
"The fact that the war was brought
to such a r.pccily end was due primar
ily to tho single eauso of Spain's
naval collapse. The vigor shown
by tho American naval nuthrities
nnd the high quality of the naval
ollicers qualities inherltol from tho
mother country r.ufllccd to counteract
the effects of America's unreadiness.
The manner In whlc't a large number
of warships and auxiliary vessels were
rapidly equipped and manned, together
with tho conspicuous ability with
which the great naval force, largely
extemporized, was supplied and hand
led, is extremely slgnillcant.
"It Is Impossible to speak in the
same terms of the military measures.
Tho causes of the failure of the war
department to rise to the emergency
are not yet fully known. It will be
Interesting to see whether the Amer
ican people will demaiyl an investiga
tion, llefore Santiago, as before Sebas
topol, in tho Crimean campaign, un
necessary simering.s ami narusuips
were Inflicted upon tho troops, nnd in
both eases disvitor was averted by tlio
gallantry of the officers and men.
"While it Is clear that the command
of tho nca is more than ever important,
naval bombardments of coast defenses
aro less effective than they were in
Nolsonls days. That they were recent
ly attempted on a considerable scalu is
probably duo to tlio desire to give
American seamen and gunners practice
rather than to any special predilection
on tho part of American naval olli
cers." STEAMSHIP ROBBERS IN COURT

I'rotorol Sound I.llto a Funeral Uymn
to tlio Spaniard.
M.wmtD, Aug. li'. Tho comments of
the press on the protocol nro a verit
able funeral hymn on the destruction
of the Spanish colonial empire. Some
days ago tho desire for peace made the
people close their eyes to the price,
but now, upon reading the protocol,
they realize that the cost Is tho loss of
that cmplro which Spain had con
quered with so much glory, nnd that
Spain now falls to tho second rank
among nations. The public mind is
stunned ami thero is general mourn
ing. (icncral Itlanco telegraphs that Ha
vana is greatly ntrltated by tho news
of the bignlng of the protocol, and that
much anxiety is manifested to learn
tho conditions, which have not yet
been published. Some uneasiness is
felt regarding the effect that tho text
of the protocol limy have on the Span
ish volunteers in Havana. Many
newspapers express grief nnd despair
that the men who brought disaster on
Spain by lack of foresight, organiza
tion and ability, should contluuo to
govern tlio country.
Public opinion attaches great impor
tance to the Spanish commission in
Paris makiug a rcsoluto stand lu de
fense of Spain's territorial rights In

therefore wauts to send a strong, coin-
Detent body of delegates.

the contract signed with the Hong

Importance and dignity of a test case,

As a great proportion of tho Nlu

more than an academic interest for tlio
United States. As for tho Chinese
themselves, they regard tho present
Issue between Kussla and Great llrlt
ahi as a supremo one, likely to decide
the wholo question of China's future,
in buch conditions tho London press
wonders whether tho American minis

and It also reads with ill con

General Wheeler, too, will pass tho
doctor without any trouble. Always
gaunt and grizzled, he Is thinner than
ever, but there Is n fire in his eye nnd
a spring In his step which shows tlio
deadly calentura has not been able to
quench his spirit.
There was a cheer from Roosevelt's
men ns tho doctor came alongside.
They gathered at the rail and asked
dozens of questions as to when they
were to be allowed to go ashore.
"Not to-night, boys," was the doe
tor's cheery reply; "but bright and
enrly to-morrow. I won't keep you
here a minute longer than I have to."
Colonel Roosevelt and the doctor
walked up and down for awhile nnd
the commander of the "Rough Riders"
talked about his trip.
"We came up without n single mis
hap," bald he. "Nearly all my men
are well. Thero is not a bad easo
nmong them and nearly nil thoso who
left Santiago In bad shapo nro now
well on the road to health.
"Wheeler here has been ill ns you
know," he added, drawing his nrm nf
feetlonntely through that of tho old
general; "but everybody knows how
he fought. It was a lucky thing for
the Spaniards that he was a bit under
the weather."
