WAShINGTON , Aug. 13.-With peact'
rochaImc&l , all of the energies of the miii-
tary and naval establishments today svere
dIrected into paclflo channels. The sudden
chamigo from war t peace was manifest pt
the War and flavy departments. There was
no further cpctancy of dramatic develop-
meats , of battles or of new campaigns. The
orders given last night for the immediate
cessatIon of hostIlities brought nil military
nmiii naval movements to a unit. nail it now
remaIned only to tiring affairs back to a
peace basis. In this , however , the atithori-
tics vero acting on the theory that the
PIOIOCOI of yesterday was but the flrst step
toward peace , and that not trntIl a foal
and lasting peace was secured could ( here
be an entire return to a peace basis ,
ThIs was particularly trite us to tIm navy
department. In that bronchi It was ac-
eepted that permanent peace undoubtt'diy
would he made , and yet instead of stripping
our war ships , redistributing them into
squadrons on a peace basis , and rttirniug
them to theIr old channels , the naval nu-
thoritios acted on the principle that the
present armistice might end In a resuniptlon
of hostilities For that reason the four
battleshIps and two armored cruisers ordered
north from West IndIan wittera are to tin-
dergo a COlUpietO overhauling with a View
of putting them in the pink of condition ,
For ninny months they have boci in tropical
waters ; their bottoms are foul au. . ! their
engines and machInery need careful over
hauilng. As soon as they roach Now York
all work at the navy yard will be subordinated -
nated to pushing the complet'i overhaulIng
of the big battleships and ruiiet. Meanwhile -
while the smaller war ships Ia tVest Indian
vnters have been ordereA to sate harbors ,
as the West Indian hurricane season is near
at hand , vhiie sumcient ships for polIce
patrol are left. along tile Cuban and Porto
Rican coast. The big , unwieldy monitors
will remain at Porte Rico , and most of the
blockading fleet will center at ICoy Went
tinder Commodore Watson , The peace protocol -
tocol will give a breathing spell and tune
for bringing every ship back to the highest
state of perfection , The complete return to
' 1 neaca basis , the establishment of peace
squadrons , etc. , Is a matter for the future.
It is thought that the AmerIcan occupation
ef Manila vil1 occur Immediately after the
receipt by Admiral Dewey and General Mer.
ritt of the orders sent them last night.
This may be deferred by the lack of cable
facIlities , but the American occupation of
ManIla probably will result in the opening
of a direct cable communication between
that city and the outside world. The only
dimeulty thus far has been that the cable
company would not recognIze American con-
trot of the cable , so long as our forces were
not in possession of the city. The orders
sent Admiral Dewey are mitch more specific
( hail those sent other naval commanders ,
as the occupation of Manila and the holding
of the bay and harbor involve more Important -
tant considerations than the mere cssation
of hostilities.
During the early hours of today the War
antI Navy departments received no acknowledgements -
edgements from the various naval and inili-
tary commanders , but it presumed that
tile orders suspending hostIlities were being
carried out in all directions.
DIsIoMItIun of tile Arm ) ' .
The War department is seriously consid-
erlng the settlement of the questions grow-
lug out of the Spanish war. The disposition
of troops , the number to be retained , and
what troops to muster out of service Is one
of the questions that Is giving the depart-
meat considerable concern The president
has discussed this matter with Secretary
Alger and General Corbin , and after going
over tile various phases of the situation baa
directed them to think over all the questions
and recommend what is found to be best , in
their jUdgment. The army probably will
be reduced to 100,000 men , and the other
volunteer troops , aside from thIs number ,
will be mustered out as soon as the depart-
meat can conveniently do so. It is believed
at tile department that now that there Is
no more fighting to be done the volunteer
troops vihl be anxious to retire from service
and get back to their various avocations.
The largo force Is a great drain upon the
country , not enly In the matter of pay and
subsistence of tile army , but on account of
no ninny men being away from their van-
Otis eIflhlOylUefltS. It is believed that 100-
000 men 'will lie sufficient to garrison the
various places occupied by the United
States.
The War department lies also considered
time matter of taking care of the Spanish aol.
ihiers In Cuba and Porte Itico , It they shall
be found In want , These soldiers are in a
sense prisoners of war , and , while the
United States government Is not bound to
care for them under the terms of the pro-
local. yet , in ( lie cause of humanIty , neither
Spaniards nor Cubans will be allowed to go
wIthout food , hu case it is found necessary
to furnish supplies to the Spanish soldiers ,
the Spanish government would be expected
to relmnburso this government for its outlay -

SANTIAGO , Atmg. 13.-.Thcro ore two ways
of looking mit the value of liorseileab hero
since the American occupation. Alive and
kicking , as horseflesh iuro and simple , it
is llrt cheap. You can buy an animal for
a $5 gold piece , vItit all the trappings
thrown In. Den' ' ) , as meat , at so much a
pound In time market , it conies high-in more
ways than one. The reasons for the din-
crepancy in values betweert a live and a
dead horse just now are obvious. General
Shatter's report says ( list oTt July 21 145
horses were turned over by General Toral
as the aunt total of the Spanish cavalry Under -
der bin conunand. It in well known that
1,000 is nearer the number that should have
been turned over , but history in this case
must relate to tile whys and wherefores of
the shrinkage ,
When Santiago surrendered , on July 17 ,
11,000 Svaniards stood ill urgent need , first
of food , second of cash , These crafty Can-
tihtans bethought themselves of an itt-
genious plan for satisfyimig their lust for
110311 and gold. They know cur boys would
enjoy a repast of "fresh meat" after their
severe diet of bacon and hardtack mimid
would be glad to pay almost any price in
the local restaurants for it , So a goodly
number of sinewy chargers and tough old
war horses were pot to the sword and din-
posed of at fancy Prices to the Inns anti
chophonees of time district for the special
benefit of time Americana ,
For a time tillS horseflesh brought cx-
colient prices. hut after many equine steaks
bad been acrvel , devoured and paid for
the American troops gradually began to
realize what they were eating and would
have no more of it. A slump in the market
followed. In the chaotic condition of Spain's
military regime in the city orderlies would
mount their otticers' steeds and ride into
time market place , offering their motints to
the first coiner for the most ttiey could get.
In tills simple manner , unllampereil by the
formality of a bill of sate , many horses
cilanged hands , always to the advantage of
the achier , who was getting something for
what cost him nothing , and incidentally depriving -
priving Uncle Sam of lawful prizes of war.
Amid thus , at least partially , is explained the
fact that the Spanish cavalry horses turned
over to General Sliafter had dwindled to
( ho ridiculous figure of 14L

The first American postofilco in Cuba was
opened on Juno 23 at Jiaquir. Eben Brewer
being the postal agent. From the first day
United States postage stamps were sold and
moimoy orders issued. An immense amount
of mail had accuntuinted at Tampa since the
departure of the army mmd Its prolnpt delivery -
livery to the men at the front , after its
arrival at Dnquir , was a task of some

Many men-after examining the quality of the cloth-the trini -
mings and workmansllil ) of the garments we offer at this tempt-
jflf ) price-seem very much puzzled-and want to know how we _ _ -
can afford to do it ,
There's no secret about it ; it's our method of cleaning up several
thousand yards of surplus stock-between seasons. its our aim
to carry over as little stock as possible-from one season to another.
True. there's mighty little iwofit in this inethoJ , but in return we can gain scvei'aI hundred
friends-who become permanent patrons.
'rliey are our best advertisements ; they come back and bring their friciids.
Our salesmen will be pleased to instruct you in the difference between "shoddy at deceptive
cheapness"-and first-class fabrics at moderate prices.
We've taken several hundred orders ( luring the past week-but the. assortmens is still large
-and another week such as the last one will reduce the stock to where we want it.
Such prices for garments made to order-with guai'anteed fit-might vcll cause you to hcsi
tate before placing your order elsewhere.
We mean to be generous with you. if we can't please you in every detail , we won't take
your money. Is that ? . .

ORGANIZING A NEW NATION
DcieinleP4 I'repiiriiig it Constitution
for Snl'gtIor , Nioursigun and
zlonctnrs ,
MANAGUA , Nicaragua , July 28.-Corro- (
spondenco of the AsBoiatcd Press.--Tbe )
delegates to the convention to form a con-
stittition for the states of Salvador , Honduran -
duran and Nicaragua continue their sessions
Ilere almost daily. The work , however , is
progressing slowly. The delegates have discussed -
cussed the first eleven of the articles in the
printed form of a constitution which they
have as a guide and have decided on the
following principal features :
First-Thu orranization is to be a confederacy -
federacy , instead of a central union of the
three states.
Second-The name of the confederation Is
to be "The United States of Central Amer-
lea. "
Tblrd-There is to be a federal district
composed of the civil departments of Chin-
endega in Nicaragua , Chioluteca in Honduras
and La Union in Salvador , all bordering on
the Gulf of Icranciesco.
Fourth-The organizing capital in to ho
Amapala , on Tiger island , in the depart-
mont of Chohmmteca , Honduran. The permanent -
nent capital Is to be determined by the first
congress and will be located at Amalpa ,
Choluteca or Chinendega.
Fifth-There is to ho one president Instead -
stead of a triple-headed tribune , as at first
proposed ,
In a recent session delegates from Salva-
don protested against what they termed "a
spirit of antagonism to Salvador" in
sIteeches made by delegates from Nicaragua ,
It in thought probable that either President
Etoniiia of honduras or President Zelaya of
Nicaragua will be chosen as the first preal-
dent of the proposed ceuifedet-acy.
