CIIICKAMAIJGA PARK , Aug. 13.-The
men at Camp Thomas are now plalying a
\vaiting game. none of the omclahs seeming
to know exactly what. Is in store for them
01' their men. The regiments ordered to
new camps have received no orders mdi-
eating when they viii get away , and all the
other regiments have almost ceased specu.
lating on the disposition to be made of them.
Meanwhile the regular work roes on , and
all commands are being as steadily drihl'ed
as when time war began.
Th news that peace had been declared
was received at Camp Thomas today in
various ways. Some of the most enthusiastic -
siastic arranged small demonstrations and
celebrated time event. Others plainly maui-
fcstecl their regret that they would see no
active service after their long and tiresom
training here. The majority seem to be
IarborIng hopes that they will be nllisterod
out and sent to their homes in the near
future ,
The henith of the camp has materially im.
proved during the last few days. The main
-cause of the improvement is believed to be
the removal and rearrangement of regimental -
mental Camps. It is probable that another
general reyIow of the army mhll occur before -
fore any regiments arc sent away. Many
rcquests , for the , rcyicw have come to General -
eral hireckinridge , and I Is.behievcd he wilt
act favorably upon them.

SlIIXoTo , Aug , 13.-The sudden
transition from war to peace Was rellecteti
today in a complete ( ImlIhuiess and stagnation -
tion throughout omeici quarters , Instead
of bustle and activity which lutve prevailed
Cor months through the corridors ot the
War nd Navy depirtments , thorn was a
calmness hot apparent since the inidsumu-
mncr vacations of Inst year. Most of the
offlclals went honie early in time day , en-
joytng time tlrat vartial holiday since the
war began. .
Theie will be a large amount of Inipor-
tout detail to be worked out from this time
forward , a grimdumml reduction of the nrnmy
amid navy to a peace footimig , the establish-
imment of telmllornry and perimianemit admulimis-
trutlons for our .imew colonial possessions ,
the caring for time wounded and sick , amid
4listrcss In Cuba.
Time need of imnmnellato attention is the
allolntmmmvnt of a pence commission which
is to meet lit l'arls , and of the military
commmmismiion , to nmeet at havana and SLUm
Juan. Time president , conierren 'itii 5cc-
rotary Day iluring the day relative to the
hence commission , but It was said at the
State denartument late in the day that an
aunduncenment of the commissioners nmight
be deferred for some days. It. Is understood
that the president has not fully determined
upou the hmersonnel of the commission.
Several of time public men who saw liinm
today were satisiled that time commission
would he made UI ) of Secretary Day , Soon-
tars 4\lliEofl and Gormati , either Joseph II ,
Choate or Eiihu 'Root of New York and
probably a piomlnent army omcer. General
Corbin is spoken of favorably iii connection
with thin army appointment on the corn-
mission. The military commissions for Cuba
and I'orto Rico are not receiving any attention -
tention from the State depnrtnmeat , as tue
military authorities will have entire charge
of these lranches of the peace settlement.
During the day the State department ro-
cetyed ztcahi from M. Thmiebaut , secretary of
the French embassy , for the purpose of
leavIng a letter explaIning the authority
givemm by cable to the French ambassador
to sign the peace protocol. These assurances
already had been given verbally , but the
letter gives them a more definite form , and
In the course of a few days the complete
written authorIzation from Mfllrid will be
tiled by the State department. Many coil-
gratulations kept coming to the State do-
partnieut and to the White house on the ca-
tablishment of peace.
\Vord has iet Rcnchel inmilln ret.
it is expected that the occupation of Manila
under the terms of the protocol will occur
within the next few hours. It was'at first
thought the Navy department bad a dispatch -
patch boat at 1-long Kong ready to carry
forward the orders to Admiral Dewey and
General Merritt , but the department learned
today tiult no dispatch boat was at Hong
Kong , though one was likely to reach there
today or tomorrow. Meanwhile it is possible
that Consul Wildman may charter a
steamer and send the orders forward. Ho
has general 'instructionS as dispatch agent ,
and it was said today at time State depart-
meat. that. these instructions govern in the
present case , General Oreely is satisfied rIo
use can , bo made of the cable connecting
Hong Kong with Manila , as there arc no
cable . operators at the Manila odd ,
Aitlng Secretary Allen said today that the
maUer of establishing coaling stations , the
dlslostton : of Admiral Cervera and other
Spanish , prisoners , and like questions
brought up by the peace settlement , would
receive consideration in due time , but that
there was no Immediate necessity for pass-
log upon them. Preparations are making to
receive the battleelmips and armored cruisers
now under orders to come north. Dry docks
Nos. 1 and 2 at the Navy yard are available
for the big cruisers New York and Brooklyn -
lyn , hut not for the battleships. Dry dock
No. 3 'ihl receive the battleships , but will
not be In condition before September 1 , as it
has just gone through a period of repair.
Captain Bartlett , in charge of the auxil.
inry craft , Is arranging to get back these
craft into their channels. The old single-
turreted monitors will be returned to the
Lcague Island navy yard. Seine of the nux-
ihiary are still fleCdCI to loolc after mine
fields established along tfle coast.
MimMterImig Out Vohmmutcera.
The War department was busy all day
wIth matters pertaining to the cessation of
hostilitIes. Secretary Alger consulted with
the president for some tIme , but when lie
returned said the military commissioners for
( 'nba OntI Porto Rico voulml not be an-
noutmced tOday. 'There was no need of hmast
ho said , as by time terms of time protocol , ten
days were allowed for time selection of the
commission , Thent' has been Some apecula-

ceded thmt General Lee will be one of the
commissioners for Cuba , eu account of his
Icnoi'icmlge of the conIiions in the Island.
General I3rooke and General Henry are men-
tinned as probable commissioners for Porto
Iticu.
The subject of musterIng omit a part of the
volunteer forces has been cotisidered and It
is probable the total force m'ill be reduced to
l&0,000. 'ntis mustering out will not begIn
at once. Garrisons of both regular pod
volunteer soldiers will remain in Culls ,

Porto Rico will be governel through time

of the War department otilcials thIs force will
be about 125.000 moan. it will be kept in

rather so many of ( tram as may riot be

United StAtes and then furloughed from

actual discharge from the service of the

At present it senms unlikely that thin
