Article 139. An armistice la binding upon

Under this rule Admiral Dcwey nnd fcn- !

reached them nt Manila. This could not
have occurred on Friday prior to the bom
bardment , OB the cable was not .working and
no dispatch boat could have gotten through
with the notice before Monday or Tuesday.
In short It Is agreed In nil official quarters
that the forcible talcing of Manila was en
tirely regular nnd that the city nnd bay Is
now held on the basis of this military en
forced "taklns rather than on the basis of
the mutual arrangement between the two
rove'rnments. ' This may become material
when the question arises as to the future of
the Philippines , for It Is likely to proceed
from the American standpoint that Manila
was taken by force of arms and Is so occu

SANTIAGO DE CUHA , Aug. 17. This
morning Major Mllcy , with a party consist
ing of Captain 13. Terror of General Law-
ton's staff , Major Luis Toolls. chief of staff
of the Spanish General Toral , and General
J. N. Hubbcl of the lied Crosa society , re
turned from Darncoa and Sagua de Tanamo ,
on tho. north coast of the province of Santi
ago de Cuba , whither they went last Fri
day to receive the final surrender of the
Spanish forces at those points.
At Uaracoa , 025 Spanish soldiers and offi
cers surrendered with 1,200 rlllcs and 200-
000 cartridges , nnd at Sagua do Tnnamo
S72 sdldters and 203,000 rounds of ammuni
tion.
Major Mlley carried thirty tons of ra
tions for the Spanish troops and Dr. Hubbell -
bell took sixty tons on behalf of the Itcd
Cross society , all of which had been divided
between Baracoa am ; dapua do Tanamo.
Major Mllcy found little sickness at either
place and no yellow fever ; but the Span-
lards were In Ignorance as to the end of
the wnr. They had not heard of Admiral
Ccrvera's defeat. On the contrary they had
been told that the American transports
which they had seen off the coast were
Spanish ships bringing reinforcements and
they were amazed to hear the news of the
Amcrlcnn ,7lctory , the capitulation of Santl-
ego and the signing of the protocol. But
without exception they expressed the great
est delight at the prospect of returning to
Spain.
American troops will leave for Baracoa
and Sagua do Tanamo In the course of a
few days.
Major Mlley learned that the Spaniards In
that district had done but little fighting
with the Insurgents for several weeks.

that had given the matter any thought from
a military standpoint was that such a well
trained and disciplined army coulJ have
bein made from raw men within thr.v

HAS A GOOD O1MMOX OP CDHANS ,
Gunrrnl Wheeler - Anticipated No
Trnnlile In Dealing vrltli Them.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 17. General Joseph
Wheeler had a three-quarters of an hour
conference with the president today. The
president wanted to talk over the condi
tions In Cuba with General Wheeler nnd
this wcs the object ol a telegraphic sum
mons that brought the general here.
The piesident put numerous questions to
him and received not only an account of
his general experience in that campaign ,
but also his views on various Issues Inci
dent to the adjustment ot affairs on the
Island. One of the points that was upper
most was the possibility of a rupture with
the Cuban insurgents. General Wheeler's
statements were' very reassuring.
"All the friction , " he said , "between the
Americans nnd Cubans will soon pass away
nnd there will bo harir.cny and the best of
feeling among them. " Ho said there was
n class of men In Cuba who had never been
friendly to the Cubans , but on the con
trary had been favorable to Spain , who
likely would do all they could to keep up
this misunderstanding , though he did not
apprehend any dangerous results. General
Wheeler suggested that the charges against
the Insurgents of taking articles In the
field had extenuating circumstances , espe
cially In view of the starving condition of
many of them. General Wheeler belloTed
the Cubans In tlmo , when freed from op
pression and given a stable and humane
government , would become a law-abiding
and useful people.
The president Is very solicitous about the
health of the Montauk camp nnd gave ex
plicit Instructions verbally to General
Wheeler as to the conduct of the camp. He
wanted everything possible nnd reasonable
done for the Interests of the men nt th
camp.

"No representations for the Cubans on

many of the details will bo left for the com

staff officers and aides of the officers
whether they will be sent along. It Is
known that the president does not desire
large staffs to accompany these officers , or
anything like a show of force accompanying
the committee. Probably only such officers
as actually are needed In the conduct of
the business will be sent to Cuba and San

SCOFIELD FOR GOVERNOR
Content for Republican lluhrrnntorlnl
Nomination \Vlncotinln
n Lively One.
MILWAUKEE , WIs. , Aug. 17. Governor
Scoficld was renomlnatod by the republican
state convention In this city tonight. It
required but one ballot to settle one of the
hottest political fights ever waged In this
state. Governor Scofield received 020 4
votes , ngalnst13GV4 for his opponent , Rob
ert M. LaFollcte , with 533 votes necessary
to a choice.
The platform adopted endorses the course
of the national administration and re
affirms the St. Louis declaration of princi
ples. No mention Is made of the annexa
tion question. Two reports were presented
nt the evening session by the resolutions
committee. The minority report by the ta-
Folleto supporters failed to cndorso the
stnto administration , and It failed of adop
tion on the first ballot. This test showed
the voting power of the Scofield delegates
nnd they Immediately forced the nomina
tions for governor , after adopting the ma
jority report of the resolutions committee.

PORT WORTH , Tex. , Aug. 17. The state
republican convention convened tonight
amid the wildest scenes nnd adopted the
report of the credentials committee , which
had been In session since midnight.
Slnco yesterday the probability of put
ting out a state ticket Is growing and Hon.
F. H. McGregor of Houston Is mentioned
to head the ticket If ono Is decided upon.
The attempt of the populists to secure the
endorsement of the republicans of Darnell
Qlbbs , the populist nominee tor governor ,
has virtually been agreed upon. The move
ment has been on the decline since yes
terday and It Is safe to conjecture no en
dorsement will be made. Tonight's ses
sion was consumed In the appointment of
committees on organization , resolutions nnd
platform nnd a lengthy speech by Con
gressman R. B. Hawloy.
