which brought tho suspension of hosti

rounding country, and thut thu puace
cuiiiiiiUhion Miould dulennlnu thu dis
position of the it st of the Philippine
group. Tho peace commission is only
authorized to negotiate 011 thu basis
provided for by thut protocol. By
keeping that fact in mind, it will bu a
comparatively easy matter to detect
f'ako news about thu doings of the
peace commission.
Acting Secretary of tho Interior
Ryan, was somowhat surprised wlion
ho was visited by a delegation of full
blooded Cherokee Indians, who came
all the way from Indiau Territory to
ask him if tho Curtis act for tlio reor
ganization of Indian Territory, which
congress passed last Juno and was ap
proved by tho president, was really n
law; and tho Indians appeared ti bo
oven more surptiscd when ho assured
them that it was. They insisted that
he should say in writing that tho act
was a law, and to please them he
wroto on the face of a copy of tho act,
"This is a law," and signed bis name.
The Indians took tho copy with them
but still seemed to have doubts about
tho matter,
Secretaries Long and Alger nro good
friends personally, but thu relations
between tho departments of tho gov
ernmentnavy and war over which
tlioy respectively preside have beeti
inoro or less strained ever sinco the
adjutant general of tin army sent u
report to tho war investigating com
mission, prepared by direction of Sec
retary Alger, which naval officials and
others, regarded as an attempt to
make Admiral Sampson responsible
for the delays in gutting Gen. Shatter's
army to Cuba, after it was put on
board of transports at Tampa, Florida.
This was flatly denied by Adjutaut
General Corbin, but his denial did not
stop thu talk, and it has boon some
times quito bitter on tho part of Mil
cials of both departments. Tho rela
tions between tho two departments
wore not improved when Lieutenant
Frank K. Hill, of tho navy, who had
chargo of the debarkation of Shafter's
army, stated that tho transports had
arrived off the coast of Cuba with no
facilities for landing tho troops, and if
tho navy bad not como to tho rescuo
tho atmy would never bavo been land
ed and baoked up that assertion by
saying that Gen. Shatter had also. ex
pressed tho same opinion. Lieutenant
Hill said he had no idea of striking at
tho war department in his testimony,
which embraced only facts that wero
known to all who accompanied
Shatter's army, but war department
assistants insist that he was actuated
by a desire to "get even." It was un
derstood that when tho commission,
which has gono to Jacksonville,
Florida, returns to Washington, it will
ask thu navy department for copies of
all dispatches to and from Admiral
Sampson.
There will bo no military governor
appointed for Porto Rico, over which
tho American flag will fly on and after
tho 18th, Inst., and it is the impression
in administration circles that congress
will loso no timo In providing a form
of civil government for the Island, and
until thut is done tho general in com
mand of the U.S. troops on tho island
will have the authority of a governor.
Major (Jen Brooke, I at prrseni In
command Mieiv, Inn It f. by no means

ground that under tho term of their
enlistment "for two years, or for
war" every volunteer who wishes his
discharge will havo 11 right to demand

ofllcially declared between Spain and
tho U. S.
Lire news from Cuba is not tntisfuc
lory, (Jen. Gomez, who bus tlnnis nioro
or less sulking ever sinco tho U. S. de
clared war against Spain, is reported
to have threatened to J.ead bis men
buck into thu Held, unless bis ideas aro
carried out by tho alleged government
of tne Cuban republic and by thu U. S.
authorities. Hu wants the U. S. to get
olf thu Island as soon as the Spanish
troops do, and leave thu Cubans to ar
range things to suit themselves. His
ideas atid thoso of Souator Foraker
seem to bo very nearly alike.
