The Army and Navy Wil1 Keep Pre
pared for Any Emergency ,
PROTOCOL ONLY FIRST STEP ,
Uattloslilps to Undergo n Complete
Overhauling- llrliiff Thorn Hack to
the Highest State of Perfection , to Ito
Kcuily la C.tso Hostilities Are Hcxumoil.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 15. With peace
proclaimed all of tbe energies of the
military and naval establishments to
day were directed into pacific cban-
iiels. The orders given for tlio im-
mediat cessation of hostilities brought
all military and naval movements to a
halt , and it now remains only to bring
affairs back to .a peaca basis. In this ,
however , the authorities are acting
upon the theory that the protocol is
only the first step toward peace , and
that not \intil a final and lasting peace
is secured can there be an entire re
turn to a peace basis.
This is particularly true as to the
navy department. In that branch it
is accepted that permanent peace will
undoubtedly be made , and yet instead
of stripping our ships , redistributing
them into squadrons on a peace basis ,
and returning them to their old chan
nels , the naval authorities act upon
the principle that the present armis
tice may end in a resumption of hos
tilities. For that reason the four bat
tleships and two armored cruisers or
dered North from West Indian waters
are to undergo a complete overhauling.
The peace protocol will give a breath
ing spell and time for bringing every
ship back to the highest state of per
fection. The complete return to a
peace basis , the establishment of peace
squadrons , etc. , is a matter for the fu
ture.
It is expected that the American oc
cupation of Manila will occur immedi
ately after the receipt of the orders
sent Admiral Dewej1" uud General Mer
ritt.
During- the early hours of to-day the
war and navy departments received no
acknowledgments from the various
naval and military commanders , but it
was presumed that the orders suspend
ing-hostilities weie being carried out
in all directions.
SUTRO'S BEQUEST.

SAN FUANCISCO , Aug. 15. The eigh
teenth clause of the will of Adolph

direction of the cries , which led to the
room of Mrs. Allen , where Mrs. Sutvo
was beating her over the head with a
champagne bottle and making out
cries , calling her all sorts of names.
* * * Mrs. Sutro * * * declared
that she had caiight her husband with
Mrs. Allen. Mrs. Sutro was removed
to her room and commenced making
things lively for Mr. Sutro , accusing

been retained as attorney for Mrs.

and Herbert Donovan.
James Hathaway was day delivery
clerk at the Western Union Telegraph
company's office. He was the first to
be arrested and he made a confession
implicating the others. The officers
found a memorandum book and hand
kerchief at the scene of the robbery
which were the property of James
Hathaway. This clew led to his ar
rest. Two of the pistols used by the
young desperadoes were also recov
ered. The robbers secured a rig from
a livery stable and repaired to the
scene of the robbery. The rig was re
turned late at night by a strange man

prehended. All of the young men are
well known and have borne good repu
tations up to the present time. Cook
is the son of a member of the fire de

ST. Loui8 , Mo. , Aug. 1ft. The St.
Louis Globe-Democrat prints the fol
lowing from Paris : Kr.r from ptinlhb-
incut , the members of the crew of thu
ill-fated transatlantic liner La Kour-
gogne ure about to be decorated , home
with the cross of the Legion of Honor ,
others with life-having medals by 1'res-
dent ftiure , for the alleged heroism
which they ure asserted to have shown
at the time of thu disaster. Thi.s is
the result of the inquiry instituted by
the naval authorities at Havre , and
the minister of marine , M. Loekroy ,
son-in-law of France's great poet , Vic
tor Hugo , has submitted to President
Fan re the names of the members of
the crew who are to receive decora
tions.
According to .the cflicial report , the
charges of cowardice and savagery
brought against the officers and the
crew of the unfortunate vessel arc
"shameful calumnies , ' ' and the hope
is expressed that the honors about to
be conferred upon thorn by the French
government will in some way atone
for the injustice of the slanderers of
which they have been the victims.
The official report admits that there
was a good deal of brutality and savagery -
agery displayed , but it insists that
the crew and the oih'eers of the vessel
were entirely innocent thereof , and
that it must be laid at the door of cer
tain of the steerage passengers.
The report , which is the joint work
of the naval and criminal authorities ,
practically declares that the only man
guilty of this savagery and brutality
"wrongly ascribed to the crew" was
an Austrian steerage passenger of the
name of Louis Possett , who , owing to
the "negligence of the United States
authorities , " was permitted to escape
in New York , and who has thus
"placed himself beyond the reach of
French justice. "
The report concludes with a singu
larly ungenerous slur upon the vic
tims of the disaster , for it declares
that they were so paralyzed with fear
and so entirely helpless from conster
nation that they would not even ac
cept the offers made to them by the
French crew to embark in boats.
"The French sailors did all that was
humanely possible to save the passen
gers , " This is repeated no less than
three times in the government report.
Finally , the report places all the blame
for the disaster en the Cromartyshire ,
and protests against the theory that
the commanders of liners flying either
the French or any other foreign flag
are under obligations to follow any
particular route.
M. Liebree , who lost both Ins chil
dren in the disaster , has , along with
four other French passengers who sur
vived the disaster , offered in vain to
testify against members of the crew
whose names he mentions and against
Third Engineer Laisne , but he has
been unable to find any of the naval
or criminal authorities willing to take
his evidence , and considers himself ,
under the circumstances , fortunate in
having been able to induce French
newspapers of such importance as the
Temps to publish his letters of pro
test.
PRISONERS ATE TOO MUCH ,
How the Ladroncs' Governor Got Rid of
Captives Sent From the Philippines.
TACOSIA , Wash. , Aug. 15. A Japan
ese paper sa3s that the Americans at
Guam found a mimber of unburied
bodies. The governor innocently ex
plained they were bodies of prisoners
sent him from Manila. Provisions
were short and some 150 of the prison
ers were ordered out to be shot as the
easiest way out of the difficulty.
An Englishman who recently visited
the rebel camps near Cavite says the
rebels are ill-treating Spanish prison
ers. They are said to be fed on noth
ing but rice and water and were starv
ing. The Englishman says he and his
party threw them food and cigarettes ,
which were fought for as wild beasts
scramble for meat.

ANGER IS GROWING.
Kngland Indignant over the R ba T la
China Alleged Secret Treaty.
LONDON , Aug. 15. The morning pa
pers express the growing indignation
of the country at the position of af
fairs in China.
The Daily Graphic says : "If this
state of things continues , the guns will
go off of themselves. "
The Shanghai correspondent of the
Daily Mail , who professes to divulge
the terms of a long existing secret
treaty between China and Russia , says :
"It is nothing less than an offensive
alliance. China undertakes to regard
Russia as having a preponderating in
fluence on all questions of commercial
and internal policies , while Russia
will support China against all 'open
door' demands. Rubsia finances China
in internal developments and China
grants to Russia preferential rates in
certain areas , and railways built in
the joint interests of the two coun
tries will be under Russia's practical
control.
"Russia will assist China in develop
ing her military and naval forces and
China will co-operate with Russia as
an ally. This treaty has been in abey
ance sinca Li Hung Chang visited the
czar. That it has become operative at
the present moment in respect to the
Fekin-Hankow and Xieu Chwang con
tracts is significant. "
The French press comments glee
fully upon the situation and the news
papers at Berlin and Vienna are at no
pains to hide their satisfaction at the
discomfiture of England. The Con
tinental press regards the project
of an Anglo-American alliance as
chimerical. These journals consider
that the United States has had enough
of war for the present and will not
care to give Great Britain anything
more than moral support in China.
Therefore , they argue , England is not
likely to pick a quarrel with Russia ,
but will content herself with seeking
compensation elsewhere.
