Wahiiinihon, Aug. 21. Whatever
may bo tho uUim.Uo outcome of tho
negotiation t In regard to tho Philip
pines, It can hu confidently stated
that tho President docs not now look
to tho acquisition of the entire group.
There wns nn disappointment, there
fore, nt the Whltu Iiouhj or tho state
department tint tho capitulation did
not Include tho onttro group, ns was
stated In tho (Ire is dinpnt6hos first re
eclved from Hong Kon. Hut otyn
IiikI ttio capitulation Iticuded the on
tiro group, it would u it have changed
tho plans of tho President and tho
agreement of tho protocol to have tho
question of tho control, disposition
nnd future government of tho islands
made the subject of negotiation and
determination by tho Paris commis
sion. A cabinet minister who saw tho
President yesterday said that tho basis
of tho Instructions to our peace com
missioners will bo substantially n.s
follows:
Tho retention by tho I 'tilted States
nf the Island of Lu.on, on which the
city of Manila is situated.
Kqtitil trado facilities with Spain In
the remainder of tho Philippine group.
None of the Islands to bo disposed of
to any foreign nation.
Although tho President lias taken
great pains to obtain the opinion of
tho pcoplo regarding tho disposition of
tho Philippines, he has not in reaching
his decision been guided wholly by
popular sentiment. Ho believes that
the poo pi i! favor tho retention of all
tho inlands, and if ho had absolute
power it Ih probable he would Instruct
Ids commissioner.! to demand the en
tire group. lint ho rotillrcs that tho
Senate, which must ratify the peaco
treaty, is not lllcoly to favor the ac
quisition of all the Islands, and has
for this reason, to u.ss tho words of a
cabinet ofllcinl, asjumed a "middle
ground."

us tho Hawaiian ensign sank from Its

New York, Aug. 2.1. Lluctonnnt
Colonel Nicholas Semi, who went to
Cuba ns chief of tho operating medt
cnl staff of tho army, has just ret timed
from Porto Rlc. Speaking of Ills ex
perience, ho said: "In Cuba our nrtny
met as Its moit formidable enemy one
of tho most drcadc.l of nit ncttte In
fectious diseases yollow fever. Tho
Cuban Invasion was characterized by
hasty notion, n lack of organization
and inadequate preparation on tho
part of tho qunrtcrmuster's depart
ment for 'which tho medical branch of
the army was in no wny responsible.
In less than two weeks nfter our nrtny
landed In Cuba yollow fever made its
appearance.
"In less than two weeks from that
time nearly r.OD fever casus, most of
them yellow fever, Impaired tho light
ing force nnd seriously taxed thu re
sources of tho medical department.
Fortunately for tho nrtny, tho typo of
tho disease was mild, nnd tho number
of deaths was small In comparison
with some of the epidemics In tho
past. It was extremely fortunate that
Santiago surrondored nt tlu right
time. Our army would surely havo
mot tho fato of tho Spanish forces,
who lost .10 per cent of their men dui
lng tho last year from Bickness.
FOP.GOT TIIB1U MICUOSCOPH.
"In planning tho Porta Rico invas
ion, General Miles made tho proper ar
rangements for preventing a repetition
of tills calamity. Thus far our troops
in Porto Rico have escaped yellow fe
ver, but soon nftor landing fever cases
camo into the different hospitals nt an
alarming rute. After landing at
Ponce, August a", I found at least a50
cases of typhoid fever. In some of tho
cases It was difllcult nnd in others im
possible to make a differential diag
nosis between malarial and typhoid
fever without the aid of a microscope,
a resource which unfortunately was
not nt hand. Following tho order of
Colonel Grcenlcnf, chief surgeon of
the army, I investigated for two days
nil of tho fever cases in tho hope of
locating tho typhoid fever.
"A careful study of all tho cases
showed that 00 per cent wore genuine
typhoid fever cases and that the infec
tion in the army was brought directly
from the camps occupied in the United
States. 1 am firmly of the opinion
that if the American army in Porto
Rico remains tlioro much longer tho
loss of lifo duo to sickness will bo as
great ns at Santiago.
"The order to General Wilson to
tako up the march toward San Juan
mado it necessary to evacuate the di
vision hospital.
"All of tho patients were transferred
to the Spanish military hospital in
Ponce, which caused tho temporary
overcrowding. The club houso of tho
city und of tho school for girls, in
charge of Sisters of Charity, wero also
offered to tho authorities for hospital
use and wero accepted.
A RAP AT THE MAIL SKRVICE.
"Nostalgia, or homesickness, in a
targo measure, was added to tho
wretched condition of the soldiers, not
only In Cuba, but In Porto lttco, also.
The po!tofl1co department hns shown
Gcrious neglect in forwarding mall.
You glvo a man a letter from homo
nnd he feels llko fighting. I know as
nn actual fact that moro than 200
lotters wero bent to me while I have
been away from home, but I havo re
ceived only two of them. Newspapers
wero in grent demand and wero
eagerly bought and read,
"Tho war has again demonstrated
tho great value of the small caliber
bullet and has shown that it is a most
humano weapon. Contrary to expecta
tions, but a few surgical operations
Kvera necessary and our attention wns
directed entirely to tho proper dress
ing of wounds.
"I waut to correct some of tho ro
ports which havo como from Cuba nnd
Porto Rico as to tho feelings of the
Spaniards against tho Hed Cross. Tho
Spaniards never purposely fired at tho
Ucd Cross representatives of our coun
try and If any of thoso wero injured it
was entirely duo to the fact that tho
rod badge of the order could not bo
easily distinguished at a distance.
"The following Incident, for exam
ple, shows that tho Spaniards aro in
sympathy with tho work of the Red
Cross organization. While a company
of infantry was charging n hill at
Uuanlca, a volunteer who had ruihed
100 yards ahead of the lino was sud
denly prostrated by tho, heat. A Span
ish officer near by ran to him. picked
him up and carried him to our lino
amid the cheers of our troops."

WHY THINGS WENT WRONG.

tlin War Dopiirtment.
Nkw Yoiik, Aug. ai. Secretary Al
ger, under date of August 13, sent
Chauncey M. Vr pew n long letter In
defense of the wnr department. Tho
letter shows tho enormous nmount ol
work the department has been called
on to do: explains tho diflicultics at
tending tho operations nt Suntlagoand
the care of the sick nud wounded, nnd
sets forth thu troubles that have at
tended camp life In tlio United Stntc3
under inexperienced officers. lie says,
In part:
Concerning tho Santiago campaign,
when the hhlps left Tampa they had
an board three months provisions and
mi abundance of hospital supplies.
They had llghteri to unload with nt
point of debarkation. Thcso lighters
were lost In tho suvcro storms on tho
way. As soon ns wo wero notified of
tho fact, two tows of lighters wero
sent from Mobile and New Orleans,
which were also overtaken by storms
nnd lost. The navy supplied us with
lighters, nnd one of those was wrecked.
The army disembarked, getting off n
portion of its supplies nud medical
stores, and Immediately marched to
tho front to light tho Spaniards. The
great dlfllculty of landing supplies sub
sequently wns becnuso of tho wind,
which sprang up every morning nt 10
and made n high surf, rendering
almost impossible tho uso of small
boats, with one lighter, which was all
they had left for this purpose.
Of the packers who wero employed,
00 per cent soon fell sick, and, heavy
rains falling every day, tho roads (if
they could be called such) becamo Im
passable for vehicles. Pack antmala
had to bo employed to carry food to
tho army, which, being extended to
the right around Santiago, Increased
thu distance from tho coast every day
ind made the task moro difllcult.
However, the result and tho subse
quent sickness that has broken out in
tho urmv showed tho great wisdom of
General Shaftor in moving forward to
make tho attack while his men wero
in vigor.
It was a movement bordering on
audacity, but it succeeded, and tho
pcrststancc of tho attack, I havo no
doubt, greatly disheartened tho Span
lards. Tho result was ono of tho
greatest victories,, for the men en
gaged, of modern warfare. The num
ber of prisoners taken exceed the at
tacking forco by nearly two to one.
Some men have bean neglected on
transports coming home there is no
doubt all agalnbt posltiva orders
duo, no doubt, to carelessness nnd neg
ligence, but largely on account of
not having tho medical forco to spare
(many of whom wero sick) from the
camp at Santiago. Many medical of
ficers sent with transports wero token
ill on their way home.

According io a letter from San Juan
tho Spanish residents there who had

there is great rejoicing among them
that tho war Is ended, a feeling shared

had been shot for forsaking the city,
