PROTOCOL SIGNED Secretary Day and Ambassador Cam- bon Affix Their Names. PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT Orders Issued to Cease Hostil- ies. WAR WITH SPAIN ENDED At twenty-three minutes past 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the first step to dis- continuation of war between Spain and th3 United States was taken at the White House, when the reprsentatives of the two countries formally signed the protocol forming th3 basis of a treaty of peace to be ratified by both countries. The news was at once announced to the city in an extra edition of The Star. The ceremony was a simple one, Secre- tary Day signing for the United States and M. Cambon for Spain. It is but jus- tice to the republic of France to record the fact that to her good offices this speedy termination of a war that might have run on indefinitely was brought about, and the President hims:if deemed that action on the part of the French government worthy of his special praise. At 2:45 o'clock Secretary Thiebaut of tho French embassy appeared at the State D2- partment to inform Secretary Day that the ambassador was fully em:owered to sign the protocol for Spain, and only awaited the pleasure of the Stats Department. He intimated that the ambassador would be pleased to have the final ceremony con- ducted in the presence of Presid2nt Mc- Kinley, where the negotiations were be- gun. Secretary Day went to the White hous? to learn the President’s wishes. The latter immediately consented to accept the suggestion, and Mr. Thiebaut hastened to inform his principal that the President would receive him at the White Hous? at 4 o'clock. At the appointed hour a driving rain- storm prevailed, obliging all the parties to resort to carriages for transportation to the White House. Secretary Day came first with a larg> portfolio under his arm, in- closing copies of the protocol, of the procla- mation to be issued by the President stop- ping hostilities and some other necessary papers. He was accompanied by Assistant Secretary Moore, S:cond Assistant Secre- tary Adee and Third Assistant Cridler. They were shown immediately into the cabinet room, where the President sat in waiting. He had invitsd to be present As- sistant Secretaries Pruden and Cortelyou and Lieutenant Colonel Montgomery. When Ambassador Cambon reached the White House it was just 4 o'clock. The rain was still violent and the ambassador abandon2d his usual custom of alighting at the outer gates of the executive grounds. He was driven under the porte cochere, passing through a cordun of newspaper wen before h2 and Secretary Thiebaut were ushered inside. Examining the Protocol. A critical examination of the protocol was made by Assistant Secretary Cridler and Secretary Thiebaut. While this in- spection was being made a White House messenger was sent to the French embassy for the seal of the embassy, which had been forgotien. The protocol was prepared in duplicate at the State Department, one copy to be re- tained by the United States government and the other to become the property of Spain. The text is handsomely engrossed in a running old English script. Each copy of the protocol is arranged in double col- umn, French and English, standing along. side for easy comparison as to the exa ness of translation. The two copies are alike. except that the one held by this gov- ernment has the English text in the first column and the signature of Secretary Day ahead of that of M. Cambon, white the copy transn.fited to Spain has French in the first column and the signature of = Cambon ahead of that of Secretary a The protocol eent to Spain was accom- panied by the credentials issued by Pres- ident McKinley, specially empowering the Secretary of State to affix his signature to this document. The authorization was brief and in typewriting, save for the Pres- ident's characteristic bold signature. Later the American copy of the protocol will be accompanied by the written credentials of the Spanish government sent to M. Cam- bon and bearing the signature of Queen Christina. The cable dispatch received by him con- ferred full authority to sign the protocol, and stated that the written authorization would follow, signed by the queen regent in the name of the king. Prior to the cere- mony M. Thiebaut showed the cable dis patch to Secretary Day, and it was ac cepted as sufficient to enable the ambassa- dor to sign in behalf of Spain. When the written authorization arrives it will be pre- sented to the State Department to accom- pany the protocol. Signing the Protocol. The examination of the protocol was sat- isfactory, and the document wes handed to M. Cambon first and then to Secretary Day, who affixed signatures in that order to each’ side of the two copies. Then the last detail in making the protocol binding was administered by Assistant Secretary Cridler, In charge of the chancery work, who attached the seal of the United States. Throughout the ceremony all but the two signers remained standing. M. Cambon, in signing for Spain, occupied the seat which ‘Secretary Long, now away on a vacation, usually occupied. The President stood at the left-hand corner at the headof the great cabinet table, Secretary Day, M. Thiebaut and M. Cambon, in the order named, on the left side of the table. The rest of the party were standing in other portions of the room. No credentials were produced during the meeting at the White House, the President accepting Secretary Day's assurance that this had been settled to his satisfaction at the State Department. It was 4:23 o'clock when the final signatures were attached to the protocol within the knowledge of all pthe officials present. This was the first time that a protocol or treaty had been signed at the White House. Provisions of the Protocol. The protocol contained the following pro- visions: 1. That Spain will relinquish all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba. 2. That Porto Rico and other Spanish isl- ands In the West Indies and an island in the Ladrones, to be selected by the United States, shall be ceded to the latter. 3. That the United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace, which shall determine the control, disposi- tion and government of the Philippines. 4. That Cuba, Porto Rico and other Span- ish islands in the West Indies ‘shall be tm- mediately evacuated, and that commission- ers, to be appointed within ten days, shall, within thirty days from the signing of the protocol, meet at Havana and San Juan, respectively, to arrange and execute the details of the evacuation. 5. That the United States and Spain will each appoint not more than five commis- stoners to negotiate and conclude a treaty of peace. The commissioners are to mect at Paris not later than the Ist of October. 6. On the signing of the protocol hostili- ties will be suspended, and notice to that effect will be given as soon as possible by each government to the commanders of its military and naval forces. Thanks to France. As this ceremony concluded, Acting Sec- retary Allen of the Navy Department, Sec- retary Alger and Adjutant General Corbin appeared, having been summoned to the White House by the President, and they were admitted into the cabinet room just in season to witness one of the most im- pressive features of the ceremony, when the President requested the hand of thé ambassador and through ~him -eturned thanks to the sister republ@ of France for the exercise of her good offices in bringing about peace. He also thanked the xmbas- sador personally = the important art he had played in this matter and the latter replied in suitable terms. As a further mark of his digposition, President McKin- ley called for the proclamation which he had caused to be drawn up suspending Aostilities and g@igned it in the presence of M. Cambon, who. expresseq-his appreciation of the mare eS ee ‘Without delay Acting ar Y) hastened to the telephone difected that cable messages be immediately sent to all of the naval commanders. in the Philippines, Sampson at Guantanamo, ard the various commarders at navy, yards and Stations, to cease hostilities 1 tely.

Upon emerging from the White House, Secretary Day received. the earnest con- gratulations of the persons present upon the conclusion of the protocol. He stated that the peace commissioners who ire to draw up the definite treaty would nct be appointed for several days; but declined to indicate who they would be. The President's Proclamation. Immediately after the protocol was signed President McKinley issued the following proclamation: By the President of the United States of America—A Proclamation: Whereas by a protocol concluded am signe August 12, 1898, by Wm. R. Day, Secretary of Staté of the United States, and his excellency, Jules Cambon, ambas- sador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the republic of France at Washington, re- spectively representing for this purpose the government of the United States and the government of Spain, the United States and Spain have formally agreed upon the termr on which negotlations for the establishment of peace between the two countries shall be undertaken; and Whereas it is in said protocol agreed that upon its conclusion and signature hos- tities between the two countries shall be suspended, and that notice to that effect shall be given as soon as possible by each government to the commanders of its mili- tary and naval forces: Now, therefore, I, William McKinley, President of the United States, do, in ac- cordance with the stipulation of the pro- tocol, declare and proclaim on the part of the United States a suspension of hostili- ties, and do hereby command that orders be immediately given through the proper channels to the commanders of the mili- tary and naval forces of the United States to abstain from all acts inconsistent with this proclamation.

In compliance with the order sent, Ad- miral Sampson and Commodore Remey will each send a vessel around the coast of Cu- ba to notify the blockading squadron that the blockade has-been raised.

The following order was posted at the War Departmen: at 5 o'clock: ADJUTANT GENERAL'S OFFICE, Washington, August 12, 1898.

At 11 o'clock last night Adjutant General Corbin recetved from General Shafter an acknowledgment of the receipt by him of the proclamation of the President. Up to midnight no reply had been received from General Miles, it having been impossible to get into communication with him. All of the corps commanders of the army were notified of the susp2nsion of hostili- tes. In response to’ the notification sent to Gen.

The Cortes Wil Not TH Auta: Dispatches from Madrid, dated midnight yesterday, state that the protocol will be Published in the offictal gazette there, simul- Summoned ‘The papers dtscuss the situation quistly, and great relief ts felt in government and ceurt circles that President McKinley has not demanded. a convocation of the cortes to approve the pzace preliminartes. The cortes will not be summoned until autumn, by which time it is expected that the agita- ticn of the extremists will have cooled down and the country have become mor? inclined to accept accomplished facts. ‘The commission to meet in the West indies will be composed, it is understood, of mili- tary officers, and it is believed here that this commission will pave the way for com- mercial treaties and for a recognition by the United States or Cuba of a portion of the Cuban debt. The suggestion that Senor Moret, form2r minister for the colonies, may preside over the Paris commission is not very popular. Various names are mentioned in connection with the commission's personn2l, but noth- ing has yet been settled as to this. Senor Sagasta has again assured the queen regent that he does not fear Carlist trouble, and the Carlists themselves appear to rec- ognize that the country is not in the temper that would support a Carlist rising. They are now speculating on the return of the discontented repatriated army, hoping for mischief there. Th: government has decided to withdraw its prohibition of wheat export from and after next Monday. ‘The Madrid correspondent of the London Times, published today, confirming the ear- lier statement that the text of the protocol was only received on Thursday evening, say: ‘Some difficulty arose in the cabinet coun- cil over the competency of M. Cambon to sign the protocol. As it is quite certain that the cortes will ratify the treaty, President McKinley act2d wisely in not giving undue prominence to this question. “There is no conceivable doubt that Senor Sagasta will get the requisite sanction for concluding peace. Whether he will ask for it in one or two installments is a question of parliamentary strategy. A member of the cabinet assures me that it has not yet been decided. ‘The morning papers are unanimous in ex- pressing gratification that th war is ended. The comment mainly turns on the fact that the protocol leaves untouched the hardest problems now facing America. ‘The Times believes it will be a real pzace, adding: “We trust it is no violation of neutrality to express the satisfaction of the great ma- jority of Englishmen in America’s success, and we ventur2 the prediction that Cuba, twenty years hence, will be a prosperous and tranquil island. ———--—+ee______ RUSSIA AND CHINA’S SECRET. Their Long-Existing Offensive Alli- ance Discovered by England. The Londen morning papers today ex- press the growing indignation of the coun- try at the position of affairs 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 al- lance. China undertakes to regard Russia as having a preponderating influence in all questions of commercial and internal poli- tics, while Russia will support China against all ‘open-door’ demands. Russia firances China in internal developments and China grants Russia preferential rates in certain areas, and railways built in the joint interests of the two countries will be under Russia's practical control. “Russia will assist China in developing her military and naval forces and China will co-operate with Russia as an ally. This treaty has been in abeyance since Li Hung Chang visited the czar. That It has become operative at the present moment in respect to the Peking Han-Kow and New-Chang contracts is significant.” If the Daily Mail's version may be trusted it will explain much that had hitherto been inexplicable in the development of the question. The manager of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank in London in the course of an interview yesterday said: “I believe the Peking Han-Kow line, ow- ing to natural obstructions and its costli- ness, will never be built, Russia merely wishing to keep England out." The French press comment gleefully upon the situation, and the newspapers at Ber- lin and Vienna are at no pains to hide their satisfaction at the discomfiture of England. The continental 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 seek- ing compensation elsewhere. A special dispatch from Shanghai say “The Russian agents are again intriguing to obtain control of the Chinese maritime customs department.” The Peking correspondent of the Times, telegraphing with reference to the Peking Han-Kow contract, says: “The rebuff is all the more serious be- cause the Tsung-Li-Yamen gave assurances that the decree confirming the contract would not be issued until after a further conference with Sir Claude Macdonald, the British minister. The Daily Chronicle, in an editorial which reflects the general opinion of the London morning press, comments upon the fact that the Marquls of Salisbury and all the responsible officials are leaving Lon- don at such a critical moment. It says: “The curtatn 1s deliberately dropped upon @ scene of national humiliation and na- tional indignation.” Food for the Klondike.

Spain agreed formally upon the terms of Peace propcsed by the United States, name- ly: the cession of Porto Rico and an island in the Ladrone group to the United States, the abandonment of Cuba and the sur- render of Manila bay, city and harbor to the United States for temporary occupa- tion pending the final decision as to the future dispostiion and government of the Phiitppines; « protocol embodying these terms was signed Friday afternoon at aia by Secretary Day for the ited States and M. Cambon, the French ambassador, on behalf of Bpzin; ‘Btely orders were issued to all American military and naval commanders to cease hostilities, thus ending the war; the agree- ment stipulated that Spain should im- mediately evacuate Cuba and the other West Incian possessions under conditions to be devised by commissioners to meet Tespectively at Havana and San Juan; the final treaty of peace to be prepared by a joint commission of five from each country, to meet at Paris in October. Meanwhile the invasion of Porto Rico proceeded, Gen- eral Miles causing his various forces to ad- vance steadily towerd San Juan; there was some fighting, but no serious engagements were reperted; order#® were issued stop- ping the further dispatch of troops to Porto Rico; the American advance was nowhere checked. Word was received from General Merritt at Macila that a fight had oc- curred at Malata, a suburb of the capital, resulting in the death of thirteen Ameri- cans and the wounding of upward of fifty others, while the Spaniards, who attacked in force under cover of a fierce storm, were believed to have lost far more heavily; the Spanish assault was repulsed. Admiral Dewey reported the safe arrival of the monitor Monterey at Manila; it was un- erstood that an immediate attack upon the city would be begun on the arrival of the Monadnock. The transfer of the army at Santiago to the United States was be- gun and several transports left that city for Montauk Point, L. L, where a conval- escent camp had been located; early sr- rivals at the camp from southern points found a bad condition of affairs and there was much suffering in consequence; rain and labor troubles had served to delay the work of. preparation and there were charges of mismanagement an the part cf the military autherities concerned; the end of the week found the camp ir. «n unsatis- factory condition. General Shafter offi- cially and sharply denied the charges that he was responsible for the bad state of af- fairs at Santiago resuiting from the lack of medical and commissary supplies for his troops, also for the dispatching of the transports Seneca and Concho to this coun- try without proper provisions for the sick soldiers on board; Surgeon Munson of the hespital corps of the army at Santiago submitted a report to the surgeon general that indicated that the failure to place medical supplies wfthin the reach of the working surgeons in the ficid was due to the neglect of the officers in charge of transportation to furnish means of trans- ferring the material from the ships. he deportation of the Spanish soldiers =t San- tiago to Spain was begun. It was reported from Madrid that a plot to assassinate Premier Sagasta had been discovered and foiled. Chaplain McIntyre of the battle ship Oregon, in a lecture at Denver, Col., charged that the Towa ran out of the fight, that the Brooklyn put out to sea to evade the enemy’s shots and that Admiral Samp- son, in order to share in the prize money, reported himself nearer the scene of the Colon’s surrender than he really was; these charges were received with popular incred- ulity and the Navy Department instituted an inquiry with a view to disciplining the chaplain. The President announced the promotions of a number of nayal officers who distinguished themselves for thelr cal- lant conduct in battle, including Acting Admiral Sampsor. and Commodore Schley, the two going to the grade of admiral, with the former ranking the latter. Brigadier General Poland died at Asheville, N. C., of fever contracted in camp. Foreign Affairs. Russia secured a decided advantage in China by obtaining from the Chinese for- eign office a grant effectually checkmating the British efforts to protect the railroad concessions of Belgians and others not Eng- lishmen; the affair caused much excitement in London, where it was held that unless England acted promptly the British pres- tige in China would be lost; parliament was prorogued, and before dissolution Lord Sal- isbury assured the house that his ministry uld act in accordance with the best in- téests of England in the far east; the lack of definite assurances, however, created a bad impression. Announcement was made of the appointment of Mr. George Curzon, parliamentary secretary for foreign affairs, as viceroy of India, and that prior to his installation he would be elevated to the erage. Turkey informed the United tates that she would not pay the claims entered against her for the destruction of the property of Americans during the Ar- meuian riots, citing the American position that the government could not be held ac- countable for such losses resulting from the acts of mobs. The pope's health was officially announced to be bad. Further in- quiries into the Hooley scandal growing out of the promoter’s relations with members of the nobility created much ill-feeling, and Hooley finally struck one of his former cli- ents for seeking to persuade him by threats to suppress certain testimony. It was an- nounced that the lord mayor of London would visit the United States. The cup committee of the New York Yacht Club accepted Sir Thomas Lipton’s challenge for @ race for the America’s cup next year. Among those who died was George Ehbers, the Egyptologist and novelist. In the District. Judge Cole, in the Equity Court, refused to grant the application of the Purcell En- velope Company for an injunction to pre- vent the Postmaster Generai from entering into @ contract with a rtval company for the furnishing of stamped envelopes to the government. The Commissioners made pub- He the first draft of the map showing the Proposed street extensions in section 1, ac- cording to the amended highway extension jaw. The annual report of the superintend- ent of the District telephone and telegraph service was submitted. James N. Suddeth gommitted suicide by shooting. George Dixon, colored, eighteen years old, acci- dentally shot and killed his younger sister. Among those who died were Robert Beall, one of the oldest booksellers in the District, and Park Morrill, chief forecaster of the Weather bureau. THE TAKING OF MAYAGUEZ. Spanish Force Withdrew Miles to the Northeast. PONCE, Porto Rico, August 12 (Delayed in transmission).—General Schwan has oc- cupled the town of Mayaguez, taking for- mal possession without resistance. The Spanish force, which had held the place, withdrew to Lares, about sixteen miles northeast of Mayaguez, and half way be- tween the town last named and Arecibo, on the north coast of the island. General Brooke ts still at Guayama. The munitions and supplies for his division are being unloaded from the transports at Zrroyo. General Wilson is still at Coamo, await- tag reinforcements of cavairy and dyna- mite guns before executing the plans for- mulated for the advance in the direction of Aibonito, in co-operation with General Brooke. On Thursday about 4 o'clock there was desultory firing between pickets on Gen- eral Wiison’s line and those of the Span- ish forces in his front. Two companies of the 24 Wisconsin Volunteers were sent out to support the pickets. As this dispatch is sent @ o'clock p.m.) there is sharp firing geing on. An occasional volley has been heard. A battery of artillery has been moved out to the support of the infantry. Prisoners captured during the day report that there are 2,500 Spaniards at Aibonito. — oe Sixteen coe LIEBIG COrMPANY’S Ce eecccoccccoos . : . . . . eeeeee, . : Extract of Beef : easily carried and contains lots of : > comfort In small spece.
