julstnkabfo Intention upon th'o part, of
tho .Spanish authorities to avoid a re
llnqtilttlimcnt of power If posslblo
until a dcollon Is reached by tho
peace commission liavo naln aroused
Intfercst In tho policy of tho ndmlnls
trntlon, It is stated upon tho highest
authority that tho President has no In
tention of nllowlti( (General ltlnnco
and his associates In Havana to cvado
the terms of the protocol, anil, that tho
commission which nailed from Now
York Monday had full Instructions to
demand nn Immediate arrangement for
tho evacuation of the Island with a
promise of sullluicnt forca to compel
compliance.
Tho commissioners havo received
full Instructions us to how they are to
proceed with tins government of such
portions of tho island as arc tlrst cvne
tinted by tho Spaniards, with a vlow
to an ultimate cvtcnslou of tholr au
thority over tho whole of Cuba. It
now appears that they were clothed
with much greater power than was
needed to 111 range for tho evacuation
of tho Island merely, tindurc prepared
to cxeeuto both civil and military au
thority over tho entire territory us
fast as the Spanish troops are with
drawn.
The commissioners arc fully pro
pared to do.tl with nil tho parliament
ary questions of government that must
arise as soon ns tlio evacuation begins.
It will be necessary nt oiicj to make
arrangements for the maintenance of
municipal governments In the various
oltlc.t and towns, and also to provide
for the continuance of tho coin-Is of
juf.tkv under the changed conditions
until a new and more porfect Bystcm
can bo dovhsJ. Ono of tho dUllcultics
with which It is anticipated the com
missioners will have to deal will bo In
duliulug the exact" dlntluullon between
tho military end tlio civil authorities
and arranging both so ns to avoid
friction in the excrcisu of jurisdiction.
With tho landing of nu army lu
Cuba there will probably bo appointed
a military governor, but the governor's;
duty will, it In expected, bo supervi
sory to n large extent, and much of the
nctuat work of government must bo
conducted by tho civil authorities.
Inasmuch ns tho work of evacuation
will probably proceed slowly und as It
Is neccssnry that tho authority of the
United State" should be cstubhed
just as fust as that of Spain 1b with
drawn, It Is thought by thojo who
havo given attention to the subject
that the commission has probably been
authorized to make all necessary ap
pointment of civil officers until It Is
possible, alter the evacuation has been
completed, to establish a uniform and
Improved system of government
throughout the island.,
When tho military occupation of
Cuba will begin has not been definite
ly determined, but it In said to bo the
intention of tlm udminlstrutlon to
havo.annrmy in readiness to meet the
demands of the commissioners. It is
thought that an urmy will bo sent to
Cuba not later than tho middle o)
October.

Sax FnASCiRCO," Sept. 1.1. Tho Caro
line group of islandi, belonging to
Spain, is by this time in tlio hands of
tho natives of tho group, with tlio
Spanish garrison wiped out.
News of n revolution in tho islands
reached this city In letters from Hon
olulu, brought by tho steamer Coptic.
Tho story was borne to Honolulu by a
trading schooner, which touched at
tho Carolines.
Two natlvj klny.n, who had long
been nt war with each other, declared
a truce n few months ago, combined
their forces nud began a war against
the Spanish authorities.
The Spaniards wero concentrated nt
Ponupo and It was hero tho natives
made their attack. The blacks fought
with such vigor and in such numbers
that the Spaniards were compelled to
take shelter In tho Pounpo barracks,
which they held,
Tho gunboat Qulros was then dis
patched to (iu.imn for nld, but on ar
riving there found tho American ting
floating. Tho Quiros never returned.
At Yap, In tlu C.trolhu group, It was
thought she was lost. Tho supposition
is that, the Ludronug.irrls.in of Ameri
cans held possession of her.
There were 'JOO soldiers in Ponnpc
town, but theso were poorly supplied
rvith ammunition and lu no position to
resist a prolonged attack. Tho be
lief is that tho place was captured and
the Spanish garrison slain.
The entire group, unless tho Span
lards made nn unexpected bttiud must
be by this time in tho possession of
the natives.
This story is confirmed by Jntncn
Wilder of Honolulu, who recently re
turned to Hawaii from a tout-in the
Carolines. He nild nt that time the
natives wero much discontented and
wero preparing for a revolt.
Tho Carolines are a widely scattered
archipelago to the cast of the Philip
pines. Tho surface is frequently well
wooded and tho soil fertile. While
Spanish authority has been recognized
by tho outside world, each island und
even tho villagers formed separate,
Independent, but co-operative repub
lics. The most peculiar Institution is
tho Clobbcrgoll. a kind of co-operation
for purposos of mutual aid and de
fense. Tho women possess Clobber
polls of their own und exert a consid
erable share of political intlucncc.
The Carolines uro divided into thrco
groups the Peleios, containing about
10.0U0 people; tho Central Carolines,
with about 30,0,)u and the Eastern Car
olines, with over lOU.O'JO people. Tho
group was discovered by the Spaniards
in 1528.

Wabiiincitox, Sept. 12. General
Miles came to tho war department at
10 o'clock yesterday and spent a short
tlino lu his room nt army headquar
ters. Spoaklng of the futuro of tlto
urmy, General Miles said that thoro
was a number of matters which re
quired careful and dcllbcruto consider
ation with respect to tho army organ
ization, and that undoubtedly steps in
that direction would bo taken us soon
ns practicable. Tho acquisition of
territory obviously made it necessary
that tlicro should uo a larger urmy,
and tho oxperlcnco of tho war had
demonstrated the necessity of estab
lishing n standard nud having the
troops thoroughly traiuod to tho mili
tary sjrvlcc. it was desirable, ho
said, that tho army bhould bo
organized on tho basis of ono
soldier to every certain number of in
habitants. It was recognised by mil
itary authorities, oven before tho close
of the wnr of the rebellion, that the
establishment of a standard was de
sirable, but from time, to time tho
army had been reduced, until It had
reached a number disproportionately
small to tho sl.o of tho country and
Its population. Ho thought that ono
soldier to every 1,000 population prob
ably would be found to bo tho right
ratio for the standard, and that the
army standard being adopted, would
iucreaso according to tho recognized
needs of the government lu au exact
rutin to the Increase of the population.
He said that it was just as necessary
that soldiers should havo propjr train
ing us It was to train nun to build
houses, or to have n muu ukllled in his
profession to perforin uny professional
service. It was essential that an
army should bo composed of soldiers
trained to their -profession, command
ed by etUjlcnt oflleers In every grade
and controlled strictly according to
military principles. That military
operations should bo directed by mil
itary men, ho said, wus too obvious tu
need to bo stated.

which started on tho water sldo by
sparks from a passljig steamer, spread
with such awful rapidity that ten
streets wero blazing in three hours,
and only smoking ashes mark the
spots whero scores of houses formerly

TO REPRESS ANARCHISM.
lUiropcan Journitlt Aro ARixIn Urglnr;
That Ititernntlonut Action llo Titkou.
London, Sept. 13 Many of tho
prominent European journals are again
urging International action against
anarchists. They recall that both the
late AI. Carnot, president of tho French
republic, and the late Scnor Canovns
de Castillo, the Spanish prlmo minis
ter, were the victims of Italian an
nrchlsts. Special dispatches from every capi
tal describe the elTect produced, and
newspaper comments that palpitate
with bitter Indignation that a defense
less woman, who shunned politics, and
did nothing but good, should be select
ed, nt the moment of tlio approaching
jubilee, for the assassin's knife.
Tho terrible news has thrilled Eu
rope from end to end, nnd everywhere
but one question is asked, How can
society protect Itself against anarch
ism? Perhaps tho most poignant grief is
displayed in ltuly, because tho public
mind there Is touched with slnme that
so many political crlu.es havi been
committed by Italians.
King Humbert, with his own hands,
wrote n telegram expressing tho deep
est sympathy. Tho pope wired Em
peror Francis Joseph as follows:
"May God give the strength of res
ignation to our dear son Joseph, who,
in so short n period, has been tried by
so many misfortunes. Wo pray that
God may bestow upon the houss of
Hapsburg that peace und tranquility
which it merits by reason of Its senti

Troops Utpnctod tn Loavo Jacksonville
In a l'oir Weeks.
Washington, Sept. 13. An official
nt the war department said to-day
that in three weeks General Leo's
Seventh corps probably will bo re
quired nt Havana. It would better
suit tho war department If tho Span
ish troops were to remain at that point
until November, but as this govern
ment has no control over them and
General IUuuco and his men aro anx
ious to return to Spain, there is ilttlo
probability that such uu arrangement
can be effected.
Tho rainy season In Cuba will soon
terminate. Hy tho tlmo General Leo
reaches tho island it will surely havo
bpent itself. General Leo's troops
havo so long been stationed at Jack
sonville and havo become so thor
oughly seasoned to climatic effects nnd
camp life that much of tho danger ap
prehended from climatic diseases will
have been reduced to a minimum. Of
nil the troops camped on American
soil in this war those located in Jack
bouvlllo have thus far boon tho health

moralizing homesickness.
OFF FOR PARIS SATURDAY.
Washington. Sept. 13. It Is wholly
probablo that tho President will Boon
abandon hls'purpouo of having tho
conduct of tho war investigated by n
commission of his own appointment.
Of tho nino men who were asked to
servo on the commission two have de
clined positively; three others have
nsked for moro time for con
sideration, with tho prospect
of nil of them declining, and three
havo definitely accepted. Colonel
Daniel S. Lamout, General Alandcrsou
nnd General John It. Gordon have
asked to bo excused; General John AI.
Schoflcld nnd Kobcrt T. Lincoln have
requested tho President to givo them
more time to consider tho matter, but
their answers aro so worded that It Is
believed they will finally follow tho ex
ample of General Lamout and General
Gordon. General Dodge, Dr. Oilman nnd
Colonel Sexton thanked the President
for the honor conferred on them and
expressed a willingness to servo. Of
tho other men who were requested to
bo members of tho commission, Dr.
Keen of Philadelphia is in Europe nnd
has not yet been communicated with.
This does not lusuro a commission of
even five members, tho number orig
inally In tho President's mind. Tho
President Is greatly disappointed by
tho declinations he has received.
General Alandcrsou, who has just
left Washington, whither ho camo in
obedience to a request from tho Pres
ident, told Air. Alelvlnley when the
tender of a placo on tho commission
was made:
"You havo no authority from Con
gress to make an investigation, and
without that you aro proposing prac
tically to usurp tho functions nf Con
gress In Impeaching and trying a mem
ber of your own cabinet. If you pro
pose to investigate tho conduct of
the war you propose Investigating
yourself us commander-in-chief of the
urmy nnd navy of tho United Stntcs,
and you know that that Is something
out of tho question. Such nn Investi
gation ns is suggested would full to
tho ground of Its own weight, for
there aro no means by which you can
inako It a lawful aud thorough Inquiry,
nnd nnythlng less searching will fall
vo satisfy anybody. Tho clamor which
would follow such an investigation
would be worse than the clamor which
has been urging you into it."
Mr. Lincoln and Colonel Lamont
wero nsked to so-vo becauso they had
been at the head 'of tho war depart
ment nud without regard to their
political affiliations. Air. Endicott of
Salem, AInss., who was secretary of
war during Air. Cleveland's first
administration, will probably be
requested to become n member of
the commission In tho place of
Colonel Lamont. Air. Elklns nud
Air. Proctor, who were at tho head ot
tho war department In President Har
rison's administration, will not bo
nsked to servo, because they aro
United States senators, and the Presi
dent desires to let congress make nu
Investigation on Its own accord.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. A telegram re
ceived hero this morning from General
Alandcrson bays he has declined tho
proffer of u place on tho army Investi

rmptory orders from General Allies
preparations nro making to break up
Canip WlkolT at onoe by sending homo,
all the soldiers bore. This is entirely
contrary to what has beeh tho under
standing of tho officers iu command.
General Shatter said last week that
O.OOp or 7,000 men would be kept hera
at least until October, und this waa
supposed to havo been tho order ot
Secretary Alger.
An officer said to-day that when
General Allies' ordor camo a telegram
bay 1 117 that his order
to that of Secretary
"Never mind
in command
t
was sent him
was contrary
Alger, Allies replied:
what Alger says; I am
now."
That, of course, settled It so far as
the officers here aro concenie l, and
unless General Allies' orders aro conn
termnnded next week will sco tha
practical end of Camp Wlkolt,
General Hates said: "Aty orders ara
to send tho troops away us fast as
transportation e.tn be arranged."
When asked if thosj orders did not
conflict with those of Secretary Alger,
ho said: "They aro now orders."
In pursuance of tho plan, tho dctcn
tlon hospital is being abandoned. All
the men In this hospital lit to travel
are going to New York on the Shtnne
cock and tho others nrc to bo tnken to
tho general hospital. The general
hospital is clearing out as fast as pos
sible, but there arc 200 'or 300 cases
that cannot bo moved without danger.
Strong frame buildings aro now
building for tho use of theso patients.
Thcso buildings will bo llnlshed In two
or thrco days, ami tho worst cosjs will
be moved into them. Nearly all ot
these arp typhoid fever cases. To
move these would cause great mortal

there will be nbout fifty cases which
cannot bo moved for two or throo
