He Marks His First Day in the Second Precinct With Several Arrests, Police Sergeant John C. Daley, who was sent from the South Washington station to the second precinct Saturday, made his presence felt there yesterd He selected Precinct Detective Barnes and Policeman Riley to go with him in search of violators of the liquor law, and testimony in three cases was obtained. Although Sergeant Daley had not done duty in the second pre- cinet for several years he had an idea yes- terday that he could find some violators of the law. One place he visited was the drug: store of Aloysius B. Bichorn, corner of ist and cts northwest. He met a customer ng from the store with a small bot- of whisky, and Mr. Eichorn admitted that he had sold the liquor. The officer re- minded him that the law required a pre- scription from a reputable phy: Mr. ‘aorn promised thet he would not dis- y more liquor if the officer would hot prosecute him, but the latter informed him that he would have to make his ex- cuses and promises in court. Jury Trial Demanded. Attorney Frank Closs appeared as coun- sel when the case was called in court this morning, and demanded a jury trial. The ease was continued, and bond was given for the defendant's appearance. Later the officers called at “speak-easy,"” kept over a bieycle store at 4th and K streets, expecting to find a sv ply of liquor, some customers and the pro- prietor of the place. The liquor and sup- pesed customers were found, but James Carey, the alleged proprietor, escaped. Carey, who is a colored man, is employed in Alexandria, and it is charged that he has been in the habit of coming here on Sundays and selling Nquor. A warrant for his arrest has been issued.

STUNNED Bull Meaning of Protocol Dawns on the People. SECOND NATION’ RARK London Times Highly Compliments the President's ‘Statesmanship. GIST OF WAR NEWS ‘The Madrid correspondent of the London Daily Mail, issued this morning, says: “The comments of the press on the pro- tocol are a veritable funeral hymn on the destruction of the Spanish colonial empire. Some days ago the desire for peace made the people close their eves to the price, but now, upon reading the protocol, they real- ize that the cost is the loss of that empire which Spain had conquered with so much glory, and that Spaiai now falls to the sec- ond rank among nations. The public mind is stunned, and there is general mourning. versal recognition of the part which Presi- dent McKinley has played throughout the war between the United States and Spain, and says: “If foreign observers might presume to have an opinion upon his conduct, it would probably be that President McKinley has kept his finger constantly upon the na- tional pulse and has known how to stimu- late and direct national thought without too markedly outrunning its movement. “Everything has -been done in the open, every move has been discussed as a possi- bility all over the United States before the gcvernment was irrevocably committed one way or the other, and the result of the cautious, tentative policy is that where he stands at this moment the President has the whole American people at his back. “We do not know that there can be any higher’ statesmanship for a President gov- erning under the Corstitutton of the United States. “It is noteworthy that while the Span- jards, who are usuajly regarded as chival- rous, romantic and mediaeval, have turned first’ to the financial aspect of the situa- tion, the Americans, who are usually sup- pozed to be intensely practical, have as yet hardly given a though? to the financial or economic side of the question. What oi pies the American people at this moment is not the cost of the war, the value of their acquisitions or ‘the balance of the profit and less account, but the moral re- sult of the struggle and the nature of the ideas which it stimulates. The War's Effect. “Whether Bryanism is dead or oniy sleeping, whether the emailer issues of party welfare are superseded by large and _ “General Blanco telegraphs that Havana | Worthy conceptions of national policy or is greatly agitated by the news of the sign- only thrown for the time into the bacik- ing of the protocol, and that much anxiety | 8Tound, there can be no doubt that the war is manifested to learn the conditions, which have not yet been published. Seme uneasi- ness is felt regarding the effect that the text of the protocol may have on the Span- ish volunteers In Havana. Many newspa- pers express grief and despair that the men wao brought disaster on Spain by lack of foresight, organization and ability should continue to govern the country.” El Pais prints the text of the protocol signed by the United States and Spain, with mourning borders, and says: “Spain, . without colonies, is reduced to the role of a third-rate power. An order has been iSsued by the captain general of Madrid suspending the publica- tion of El Pais. Precautions in Madrid. The city was patrolled by police last night, but perfect tranquillity prevails. The publication of the protocol produced keen disappointment so far as it refers to the Philippines, where it had been hoped Spain would preserve her sovereignty in- tact. Clause 3 of the protocol dispels this illusion. Echoing public feeling, the independent and opposition papers bitterly criticise the clause as affording pretext for curtailing Spanish sovereignty in an archipelago where control or interference of a foreign power would make the natives ungovern- able. El Heraido wants to know how America Proposes to make the Cuban and Philippine insurgents submit to a suspension ef hostil- ities and kee; tion of the pleted. , El Nacional “We would rather lose the pines altogether than subi to American tutelage. The other papers discuss the probability of the abolition of the colonial office, de- claring that the total lossy of the Philippines would be “preferable to American partner- ship or control.” El Imparcial, El Herailo and El Liberal find fault with clause 4, because it limits the action of the mixed commissions to the West Indies, in reference to the details of the evacuation, whereas most Spaniards expected that most of them wor be de- cided upon before tis sailing of the com- jons. Advixes a Stand. All the adversaries of the present cabinet find fault with the protocol, because the fifth clause allows*until October for the meeting of the peace ¢ommissioners, and stipulates that when a definitive treaty is conéluded it shall be ratified according to the constitutional rules of each country, thus furnishing Sagasta’ with a plausible pretext for adjourning the convocation of the cortes until he has a treaty of peace to put before them. El Correo (ministerial) suggests that America herself, from motives of internal policy oz international considerations, has not yet formed a definitive conclusion on the Philippine question. Public opinion attaches great importance to the Spanish commission In Paris making a resolute stand in defense of Spain's ter- ritorial rights in the Philippines. The gov- ernment, therefore, wants to send a strong, competent body of delegates. Cuba and Porto Rico. ‘The Times’ Madrid correspondent, graphing Sunday, say: “There is no conceivable doubt that the cortes will approve of peace, and the date of the convocation of the cortes can only affect personal party interest. is too soon to speak confidently of the impression the preliminary conditions of peace, when examined closely, will make on the Spanish people generaliy, but there, is no doubt the news of the termination of hostilities will be received by a great ma- jority with satisfaction. “In the peace negotiations no serious complications are apprehended in regard to Cuba and Porto Rico. If the members of the loca! commission for evacuaticn have not yet been appointed, it is surely because the government wishes to appoint officers and officials of the came Tank as those to be appointed by the United States government, and at last night's cabinet council it was decided to save time by ap- pointing persons on the spot. “Already some people are beginning to console themeclves with the idea that the loss of those two islands, though most painful to Spain's national feeling, as con- summating the destruction of the great Spanish empire in the western hemisphere, is really not so sesious as is generally sup- posed.” Herlin Press Comment. The leading papers of Berlin welcome peace between the United States and Spain, and express the hope that the latter ccun- try will endeavor to accept the situation and will not regard the loss of her colo- nies as an open wound, only to be healed by revenge. The National Zeitung says the United States Is behaving in a becoming and dig- nified manner, and that there is no reason why Spain should not enter into commer- cial relations with her conqueror. The Vossische Zeitung says: “Spain is precipitated into-a chasm of political ob- livion whither long years of priestly do- minjon wou'd inevitably have hastened er.’” The paper thinks the United. States will deal as the government thinks best with the Phitppines, hut that the decisions re- garding those islands are of the deepest import to Eurepa. “ot The Mexican preg ‘eothments variously on the terms of peabke between the United States and Spain.

Itiwillmot do in the fu- 3H has had and will have a profound effect upon American ideas and a.ms. Not oniy has it renovated the idea of naticnal unity, impaired by the great civil struggle, but it has supplied that sense of contact with ex- ternal ferces which is probably one of the most potent influences in favor of main- taining the naticral spirit. “The Antilles themselves introduce a novel element into American Ife, and open up questions upon which parties may differ greatly and worthily. This, in itself, is a gain, and one which was more or less con- scientiously sought when the war was un- dertaken. The perilous unrest, spoken of by the New York Times, was a real na- tional evil, which sprang directly, so far as foreigners can judge, from the disappear- ance of clear, intelligible party issues. That unrest, we may assume, has vanished and been replaced by “new ‘anxieties or solic- itudes which may become acute, but are very unhkely to become morbid. “Beyond the Antilles lies a more difficult question—the Philippines — and that ques- tion does not end with the Philippines themselves. These islands may be taken just now as symbol of American awak- ening and of the entry of the republic upon a new career, which, Philippines or no Philippines, she is henceforth bound to follow.” Acknowledge the News.

Dr. Tupper Relates How the Texas’ Captain “Got Religion.” From the New York World, Today. ‘The Rev. Kerr Boyce Tupper, pastor of {the First Baptist Church, Philadeiphia, spoke at the rooms of the Young Men’s Christian Association, No. % ‘ulten street, Brooklyn, yesterday, on the*subject of “Manliness.” He cited, as illustrating this quality in the highest degree, Capt. J. W. Pnilip of the battle ship ‘Texas, who in this city four years ago confessed that he lacked salvation, and soon afterward unii- ed with a church. Said Mr. Tupper: truest man, perhaps, in ail Amertea is one who has been doing some heroic bat- Ug at the front in Santiago. Four years ago I preached a sermon in this city on ‘Ye Must Be Born Again.’ Just in front of me sat a fine-looking gentleman. 1 was much struck by his maniy appearance.

ARRANGEMENTS 80 FAR MADE Continuing the Inquiry Into the Virginia Disturbance. SOME CAMP Pia Seek a Set NOTES Special Correspondence of The Prening Star. CAMP ALGER, Ve., August 15, 1898. After ‘much confusion and perplexity it has finally Seen decided that the entire 2d Army Corps shall proceed to Middletown, Pa., and establish a permanent camp. The site selected is said to be a portion of the Yeung farm, the ground being high and rolling and near the Susquehanna river. Two companies of engineers are now at work drilling wells and otherwise prepar- ing the ground for occupation. Information to this effect came to corps headquarters yesterday in the form of a telegram from the War Department. As socn after the receipt of this message as possible Col. C. S. Roberts, adjutant gen- eral of the corps, issued a. general order on this subject, of which the foliowing are the pertirent paragraphs: “Pursuent to instructions from the War Department received by telegraph on the lith instant, the 24 Army Corps will be transferred to Middletown, Pa., where the several divisions will go into camp on the grounds selected for that purpose by the commanding general. The commanding general will move with headquarters staff and the battalion of the Ohio as soon as transportation can be furnished by the quartermasier's department. “The movement of the troops will com- mence as soon as the necessary arrange- ments can be made and will proceed as rapidly as possible, without confusion and in an orderly manner. Owing to the tem- porary character of the shelter under which the troops of the 2d Division are living at Thoroughfare Gap, Va., that di- vision will be moved first and will be fol- ed by the Ist Division at a proper time. “The commanding generals of these di- visions are charged with the execution of the details of this movement, the first troops to leave when notified to that effect by the commanding general.” ‘The Program. been determined the pro- As far as gram will be as follows: Corps headquarters, the 9th Battalion Ohio Volunteer Infantry, one company the signal service and the 2d Division hos- pital will take the train Tuesday.

Gen. Butler's command will 60 last of all, remaining at Dunn Loring probably two weeks longer. For the greater part the enlisted men in the corps m much pleased with the order. This is especially true of the Sth Pennsylvania, which is recruited largely from that part of the state. According to common testimeny from the Pennsylvan- fans in camp the corps is now going into “God's country.” Maj. Little and Maj. Howard, the heads of the commissary and quartermaster de- partments, respectively, will establish sup- ply stations at Middletown as soon as pos sible, in order that there may be no scare- ity ‘of food and clothing in the new camp. This means that nothing will remain at Dunn Loring or at Falls Church to indi- cate that a camp once existed there except the long Ines. of shanties erected by trade men and the bare fields where the regi- ments were encamped. ~ Court of Inquiry. Col. Gross, representing the court of in- quiry, and the council for the 3d Virginia decided Saturday afternoon to hurry the examination into the disturbance of last Monday as much as possible. It was agreed that, if practicable, all the wit- nesses for the regiment would be heard to- day, even if the court had to hold a night fon. Tomorrow will be given over to ence in rebuttal and sur-rebuttal. The case will go to the court Wednesday, and the decision will probably be announced Friday or Saturday. This morning's session was begun by fur- ther examination of Dr. D. C. Merrima: The other witnesses examined were F. K. Ferguson, a sutler, and Captain John R. Hitchings of the $d.Virginia. Dr. Merri- man cited the following instances of insub- ordination: One of the men in the crowd grasped him about the knee and tried to draw him from his horse. Another shouted “Shoot t Both men, said Dr. Merriman wore the cross guns of the 34 Virgin. ‘The second witness, Fergurson, was at one time in the regular army. ie tesufied that the crowd consisted largely of 3d Vir- ginia men, that ft numbered about seventy- tive or eighty and thai it was only a short time before the disturbance ended. Captain Hutchings, the last witm heard this morning, was officer of the day Mon day evenin, His story of the events he saw them has elready appeared in Th Star as part of the statement signed b tw eight officers of the regiment. Th cross-examination was conducted by Lieut. Col. Duvall and Licut. Summerall, the re- der of the court, and was exceptional! severe. It did not shake Capt. Hutchings testimony. General Butler, so the witm said on cross-examinatton, rode up asked whether Col. Nalle was in his tent. hen said, “i find your regtment in a fect state of rio: The men are a set of — hoodlums.
