DISPATCH CAME FROM MADRID Official Statement Regarding the Protocol. SLIGHT CHANGE FROM FIRST NOTE Arrangemements for the Meeting at the State Department. es CALL BY M. THIEBAULT ee At 12:30 o'clock the French am- bassador received a dispatch giving him full authorization to sign the peace protocol. The dispatch is rather long, and its deciphering will take some time. No hour has been set for the signing of the protocol, but undoubtedly it will be signed later in the day. An official statement for press publication, setting out the provi- sions of the peace protocol, was read and approved at the cabinet session today. It was prepared by Secretary Day, the purpose being to make it public immediately after the required signatures had been affixed to the protocol. It does not give the text of the document, but details its main Points and provisions, The protocol in general is a reit- eration of the terrhs of the note giyen to Spain, with very little difference ig the langiage of those terms, though with considerable supple- mentary paragraphs of an adminis- trative nature. The most substantial difference is in regard to the evac- uation of the captured territory. The note as handed to Ambassa- dor Cambor called for immediate evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, while the protocol leaves the time of the evacuation to be subsequently determined upon, the design being to have the date of withdrawal left to be fixed by a joint military commit- tee of the United States and Spain. The portion of the protocol sup- plementary to what is embodied in the note relates principally to the manner of execution of the provi- sions of the protocol. This statement would have been made public after the cabinet meet- ing had the protocol been signed at that time. At 2:30 p.m. the French ambassa- dor had teceived and deciphered the full instructions and authorization respecting the signing of the proto- col, and ten minutes later M. Thie- bault, secretary of the embassy, started for the State Department, where he made an appointment for the execution of the instrument this afternoon. It is thought the signatures will be affixed about 4 o'clock, although if the President is to be present at the ceremony it may not take place until 5 o’clock, this depending, how- ever, upon the wishes of the State Department officials. Secretary Day at 3:02 p.m. left the ate Department and went to the White House to learn the President's ishes as to personal attendance on the signing of the peace protocol, M. Thiebault remaining in Secretary Jay's office awaiting his return. —_—__— Arrangements Were practically completed @t an carly hour this morning for the sig- nature*of the protecol which fg to conclude the war with Spain, The document itself, in two identica] originals, hag been pre- pared in the @iplomatic bureau, and all that remained to be dong was to await word trom the Prapoh ry that he that the news of the signature of the pro- tocol would be laid before them at today's meeting. ‘The attaches at the French embassy wore an air of expectancy. They had not re- ceived anything over night from Spain, though their private advices had led them to expect the receipt of the final instruc- tions from the Spanish government some time during the day. When, at 11 o'clock, Secretary Day left the State Department for the White House to attend the cabinet meeting no appoint- ment had been made by the French am- bassador to meet the Secretary for the pur- pose of signing the protocol. It was thought that it would probably be late in the afternoon before the document was ex- ecuted, though it was fully expected that it would be disposed of today. At the time of the assembling of the cabinet it was known that the French ambassador had not yet received his instructions from Spain. He had received a dispatch an- nouncing that the Spanish cabinet had ac- cepted the protocol and that the instruc- tions would be sent him immediately. No doubt was felt, either at the embassy or at the State Department, that the Instruc- tions would arrive in time for the protocol to be signed before the close of the day. The signing, it was said, would take place in the diflomatic room of the State De- pertment, two parchment copies of the doc- urent being provided, one in English and the other in French. The latter will be for the Spanish government, while the former will go into the archives of the State De- partment. In adcition to the signatures of Secretary Day and M. Cambon, each parchment will bear the seals of the State Department and the French embascy. On one parchment the name of Secretary Day goes first and on the other that of M. Cambon. In Reality a Treaty. While the agreement is properly enough described as a pretocol, it is still some- thing more than that. It is an agreement midway between the armistice which usu- ally intervenes between active war and final peace. So far as it goes this protocol is absolutely a peace treaty. Thus, having provided for the disposition of Cuba, Porto Rico and one of the Ladrone Islands, there is nothing more for any peace commission to do in relation to those subjects; their fate is sealed and the protocol in that re- spect is as binding as any definitive treaty of peace It was such a protocol as this that was signed by President Thiers and Prince Bismarck and terminated the Franco-Prussian war, and the conditions therein laid down wete not even subject to revision at the hands of the peace com- mission that followed. KILLED TWO MISSIONARIES isses Simmons and Allen Lost Their Lives in Yokohama Harbor. Their Launch Collided With a Junk and One Lady Suffered a Frightiul Death. VICTORIA, B. C., August 12.—The steam- er Victoria has just arrived from the orient, bringing news of a frightful accident in Yokohama harbor, whereby two lady mis- sionaries of the American mission board, Misses Simmons and Allen, lost their lives. The two ladies had a number of friends who were journeying to this side of the Pacific by the Empress of Japan and they went out in a launch to see them off. The farewells being said, the two ladies were going ashore in the launch, when a junk which was sailing into the harbor, running before the wind, collided with the junk’s bowsprit was driven against Miss Simmons with terrific force. It im- paled her, killing her instantly. Her com- panion, Miss Allen, was struck about the shouldeta and head by the unwieldy bow of the Chinese vessel and she was terribly out and Jacerated. She lingered in pain for the greater part of a day in the Yokohama hospital and died on July 30, a few hours before the Victoria sailed. ———_s——_. CHANGE PLEASES THE CUBANS. Dismissal”of Santiago's Civil Gov- ernment Affords Satisfaction. Special Cable Dispatch to The Evening Star. (Copyright, 1898.) SANTIAGO DE CUBA, August 12.—The Cubans expréss great satisfaction over the dismissal of the civil government here, the retention of whch, since the occupation of the town by the United States forces, has been a soufce of much contention. Ros, the governor, was a major under Capriles, and when the latter left with Admiral Cervera Ros was made governor. Since the surrender his occupation of the office has been one of the principal causes of Cuban grievance. The municipal authorities throughout the provinces are to be retained. There is to be no interference with education or re- ligion. ‘The arrangements for the outlying towns, Baradoa and others, still occupied by Span- jards, will be proceeded with as soon as possible. Lieutenant Miley of General Shafter's staff goes tomorrow to receive the surrender of Baracoa. The steamer Breakwater has arrived here with eight doctors and a quantity of hps- pital supplies. —_————— RECENT DEATHS AT DAWSON. Names of Some Who Died in the Hos- pital There. PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., August 12.— Among the passengers who arrived on the City of Topeka from Skagway, Alaska, was Misa A. D. Field of St. Paul, who left Daw- son City July 20. She says boats arriving at Dawson from St. Michaels are bringing but a small amount of provisions and are conflzing thelr business to the passenger traffic. As a result provisions will probably be scarce this winter, Among the recent deaths at the Dawson City hospital were H, McQuillan of Chi- cago, Jos.

REST FOR THE PRESIDENT When the cabinet went into its regular session at 11 o'clock this morning not a word had been officially received of Mad- rid’s agreement to the protocol. “At least, that is what Secretary Day said as he en- tered the White House to attend the cabi- net meeting. President McKinley also told several of his visitors that he did not know anything about Spain's action except what he had seen in the newspapers. Notwith- stunding this lack of official information, the President was confident that ther would be no prolonged hitch and that the war would soon close. This confidence was based on a general knowledge of the situa- ticn and not on anything positive, although it was reported that M. Cambon had re- ceived a dispatch from Madrid saying that authority would be forwarded M. Cambon to sign the document. Cabinet members had expected that the situation would be in definite shape when they met this morning, but there was no great amount of disappyintment, these offi- cials being familiar with Spain’s slow gait in everything. Had the protocol been sign- ed this morning the subject under consider- ation by the cabinet would have be2n that document. The day would have officially marked the closing of the war, and would have been agreeable to these men who hav2 borne the brunt of the hard work for montis past. Vacation for the President. Secretary Long was the only absentee from the meeting, having gene to his coun- try home in Massachusetts for a short rest. It is thought that a number of other high cfficials, including the President, will feel justified in going away for a few days when the protocol has been signed and a peace commission gets to work. The Presi- dent needs a rest more than anybody else. Even when the peace commission begins its sittings he will have to be in constant touch with the American members, but he would be able to keep in communication with them outside of Washington. He has not indicated an intention to go away, but it is believed he could be induced to take a short rest if the situation becomes easy. The mass of work coming up before the regular session of Congress will, however, prevent his taking onything like the vaca- tion which he nee¢s. Senator Platt Urges Gen. Tracy. Senator Platt of New York talked with the President today about placing a New York man on the peace commission. The Senator has, it is understood, recommend- eed ex-Secretary B. F. Tracy for one of the commissioners. Senator Platt desires to see him honored by this appointment and considers that no man is better fitted for the work. Whitelaw Reld has been mentioned for peace commissioner, as well as being a suitable man to succeed Secre- tary Day. Senator Platt is not favorable to Mr. Reid for either of these places. It is said on good authority that Secre- tary Day is the only men who has been se- lected for a place on the commission. Others are under consideration. Ex-Am- bassador Eustis and Mr. Coudert are among the other New York men who have been mentioned. Two Commissions Provided For. The cabinet adjournzd without a word of oficial news regard ng Spain’s intentions as to tke signing of the protocol. So certain was the administration, however, that Spain would sign, that much of the time of the cabinet was taken up in discussing tentative peace arrangements. It was learned for the first time that the protocoi provides for two commissions, one to sit at Paris to close the terms of peace, the otker to sit at Havana to arrange the mat- ters of military evacuation. Owing to the desire of tha President that the Spanish trcops in Cuba shall get out as rapidly as pessible, it is understood that the Havana ccmmission will meet before the other. It will probably meet within fifteen days and go to work at once. This commission will ecusist largely of military and naval men. Each country will be given equal represen- tation. Bianco will, in all probability, head the commissioners on the part of Spain. Gen. Corbin, or some other major general, will head the commission on-the part of this country. The President will quickly make up the two commissions when the protocol is signad. Regarding the peace commission, it is sald that Judge Day will resign his position as Secretary of State immediately upon his appointment as the head of the peace com- mission. He will not attempt to hold both places. Whitelaw Reid will not succeed Secretary Day, as the President does not desire to oppose Senator Platt. The President was so confident that only a few hours would elapse before the sign- ing of the protocol that practically every step was taken on the assumption that the war is over. Nevertheless, this step has not gone so far as to issue orders to General Miles or Merritt to ceass opera- tions. Administration officials refused to dis- cuss even a remote possibility that Spain will not sign the egreement. The Presi- gent would take energetic steps at once if he was not certain that the protocol would quickly be signed. A time limit of twenty-four hours for the sigring of the document would have been fixed today at the close of the cabinet meet- ing had not the press dispatches from Mad- rid positively stated that the Spanish min- istry hgd fully agreed to tha terms of the protocol, No News From the Philippines.

The following correspondence between Generel Breckinridge, in command at Chick- amauga, and President McKinley was given out at the White House this afternoon: CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga., August 10, 1808. The President:.May I not ask you in the name and behalf,of the forty thousand men of this command to visit it while it is still intact?

Major General Breckinridge, Chickamauga Park, Ga.: Replying to your invitation I beg to say tkat it would give me great pleasure to show by a personal visit to Chickamauga Park my high regard for the 40,000 troops of your command who so patriotically re- spended to the call for volunteers and who have been for upwards of two months mak- ing ready for any service and sacrifice the ccuntry might require. My duties, how- ever, will not admit of absence from Wash- ington at this time. The highest tribute that can be paid to the soldier is to say that he performed his full duty. The field of duty is determined by his government, and wherever that chances to be is the place of honor. All have helped in the great cause, whether in camp or battle, and when peace comes all will be alike entitled to the nation’s grati- tude. WILLIAM McKINLEY.

Forwood are trying their utmost to get Camp Wikoff, at Montauk Point, in shape for the great number of troops expected there by rail and transports in the nex: forty-eight hours. In spite of rushing things day and night, there is a great deal of work to be done, and this was why Gen.

AFTER THE SIGNING First Will Come Suspension of Hos- tilities. SELECTION OF PEACE COMMISSIONERS Judge Day Will Be the Leading Member. MANY NAMES SUGGESTED —_—_s—____ The signing of the protocol will be fol- lowed without delay by a suspension of hostilities, and then will be announced the peace commissioners. There is still great latitude for speculation as to the character of this commissicn, its powers and its in- structions. It is assumed that the two gov- ernments will have equal representation on thescommission, and the question naturally arises as to how a disagreement can be settled with the commission divided equally. It is suggested that Spain entertains the hope that a protrected disagreement may be contrived so as to lead to reference to @ third party, and that it is with this in view that she has argued so_ strongly through the French ambassador in favor of having the commission meet at Paris. It is not the intention of this government, however, to permit the calling in of any third party nor to take any step which would assume the character of an arbitra- tion. While Spain will have equal repre- sentation on the commission, the power of acting will lie with the American commis- sioners, who, representing the victorious country, will dictate the terms, and event- ually the Spanish commissioners will have to accept what the commissioners on the part of the United States offer or else abandon their suit for peace. A great many minor details will be disposed of readily, and when they come down to the vital questions, the United States commissioners will sten to the propositions, and the reasons for them, advanced on the part of Spain and will have the final determination as far as the commissioners are concerned of what we will accept or concede. Secretary Day Selected. Many names have been suggested to President and the State Department appointment on the commission, but greatest reserve is maintained by President and Secretary of State in the matter. The only thing that can be ac- cepted as reasonably certain is that Sec- retary Day, retiring from the State De- partment, will be at the head of the com- mission. There is very good authority for the suggestion of the names of Senators Allison of Iowa and Gorman of Maryland, but their selection cannot be announced as agreed upon. Some very strong intima- tions have been put out that considerable feeling will be aroused if, selections being made from the Senate, the President goes outside of the committee on foreign rela- ticns for senatorial representatives on the commission. The significance that will ‘be attached to the selection of Senators for the commission outside of the foreign re- Jations committee will probably be that the President's contemplated policy will not be entirely in accord with what is known to be the sentiment of that committee. the for the the Foreign Relations Committee. The majority of the Senate foreign rela- tions cotmmittee have been radical on the Cuban question from the first, and early in the controversy over Cuba they were far in advance of the attitude assumed by the administration. Expressions attributed to leading members of the majority of the committee since the question of peace has been thought of indicate a strong and very general disposition in favor of wide terri- torial expansion and the development of a radical policy in relation with the develop- ment of our commercial interests in the Pacific. This committee will ultimately have to pass on the treaty of peace, but the Senate itself will stand above the com- mittee, and a failure on the part of the President to select any one on that com- mittee to serve on the commission, if any Scnator is selected, will probably be con- strued to mean that the President designs to carry out a more conservative policy in the negotiation of peace than is believed to be favored by the majority of the foreign relations committee. A Militury Commission. Many details remain to be agreed upon which are not even referred to in the pro- tocol, Such of these as relate to purely military and naval subjects will be reterred to @ military commission. This commission may encounter some difficulty in making a disposition of the Spanish soldiers, not only those still at large under Blanco in Cuba and under the captain general of Porto Rico, but the military and naval prisoners now in the United States. The Spanish government is showing a remarkable unwillingness to pro- vide for the return of these soldiers and sailors to Spain. Indeed, this has gone so tar as to lay the Spanish government open to the charge of4ndifference as to the fate of the men who struggled se bravely for the Spanish cause. European advices received here from private sources throw some light upon this peculiar attitude of the Spanish government. It is apprehensive that the re- turning warriors will join the Carlists and break out in open rebellion against the present dynasty. It is probable, however, that the military commission will be cloth- ed with adequate power to deal with this question in the interest of the United States. st CARRANZA’S PROGRAM, Plans to Leave Montreal in a Blase of Glory.

It was in this room that the protocol was signed, only those mentioned being present. At the conclusion of the placing of names to the document the Presi- dent and M. Cambon exchanged congratulations. The signing of the protocol was delayed for some minutes owing to the fact that M. Cambon had forgot- ten something, probably the seal of the French embassy, which had to be attached. A White House messenger was dispatched to the French embassy for the missing article, the distin- guished party in the meantime en- gaging in conversation. All those assembled gave evidence of gratification that everything had been brought to a satisfactory con- clusion. NOW ON THE WAY. The District Regiment Embarked From Santiago Today.
