On Iy 11 at noon he reported his safe ar- 1'to the War Department and at orice assumed charge, reporting to the Secretary of War. All of the subse- quent business of the surrender was en- tirely in his hands, as shown by the fact that the War Department com- ‘rhunicated with him direct, not even mentioning General Shafter’s name in the numerous dispatches. The. follow- ing dispatch is an excellent example: WASHINGTON, D.

The officers and men after parole will be ermitted to return to Spain, the United tates assisting. 1f not accepted, then as- sault, unless in your judgment an assault would fail.

He directs that you telegraph anything of importance and the condition of your command daily.’ General Miles then reported the condition of affairs to the Secre- tary of War, with whom he had been in conference. “In onme of his telegrams to Miles Secretary Alger says: ‘As soon as Santiago falls the troops must all | SAMOA'S KING HAS JOINED HIS FATHERS Death Claimed Malietoa Laupepa Last Monday.

In view of the situation as ! revealed by the above telegrams the following statement contained in the New York Herald of recent date fis quoted: “If my cablegram to Major General | Shafter, Informing him that Major Gen- | eral Miles was not sent to supersede him in supreme command of the troops in the field at Santlago de Cuba, prevented the storming of the city on the day of its surrender and resulted in the saving which otherwise would have been lost in the attack, then I am repaid for sending it a thousandrold.” | “This statement was made this after- | noon by Secretary Alger apropos of the publication in the Herald of yesterday | .:r-myifi forth the doings of Major Gen- oral Miles during his brief stay in Cuba.

NINE HUNDRED SPANIARDS LOST Drowned While Fleeing From Filipinos. THEIR SHIPS WENT DOWN HORRIBLE INCIDENT OF THE RECENT WAR. Three Vessels Bearing Refugees To- ward Manila Said to Have Been Sunk With All on Boarl. TACOMA, Aug. 29.—In connection with the capture of the gunboat Leyte by Admiral Dewey's fleet a few week's ago, the Hongkong Dally Press says there is another incident not previously made public. The Leyte had towed three vessels down the Pampangas River and along the coast, with the intention of getting those on board into Manila or surren- dering them to the Americans. Rough weather compelled the Leyte to leave them. She was on her way to Manila, whither she was gn]ng for assistance, when she was captured. An American warship was sent to Jook for the three vessels, but they were nowhere to be found. The Insur- gents say they have not seen them and there is little doubt that they foundered during the storm, with 900 souls aboard, including sixteen priests. All were flee- ing from Insurgents, who they feared would capture and massacre them. GRANTING OF_FUBLOUGKS. Those Who Have Done Service Out- side of the United States Are Favored. WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—At 11:30 o'clock to-night general orders relating to the mustering out ohl the volunteers and ranting of furloughs were promulgated By “Adjutant General Corbin. To e officers and men’who have served beyond the limits of the United States leaves of absence and furloughs for sixty days will be granted respectively, while to those who have not served outside of the country the leaves of absence and fur- loughs will be limited to thirty days. DBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF THE CZAR Stumbling Blocks in Peace’s Path. POWERS COULD NOT AGREE FRANCE WOULD DEMAND AL- SACE-LORRAINE. Throughout Eump:, However, the Sentiment of the Proposition Is Received With Hearty Good Will. Specal Dispatch to The Call. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.—The newspapers here declare that the Czar's manifesto will probably consti- tute a turning point in history. The Novosti says: “It stands to reason that the dis- armament question cannot be solved without a previous removal of the causes for the armaments. The con- ference must accurately determine the respective pretentions of the nations and propose means for a peaceful ar- rangement, and it may come to pass that at the close of the nineteenth cen- tury a liquidation may be effected of the international policies which are so prolific in troubles and dangers.” The Novoe Vremya says: “All true friends of peace are naturally on the side of Russia, but it is impossible to guarantee that some of the western | Cabinets will not raise objections, pro- moted by the fact that the armed peace which has existed since 1875 is the main source of their international strength.” Sviet says: “If all the powers ace cept Russia’s proposal with the same earnestness with which it was made the dawn of the twentieth century will see the idea of universal peace tri- umphant over that of unrest and discord.” | The Viedomosti expresses the opin- jon that the note of the Czar ls essen- tially “an attempt to introduce the ele- ment of trust into international rela- tions,” adding: ‘““Whoever believes in the creative power of ideas propounded with conviction and clearness must re- joice that the note brings a new and efficient course into the world’s life | and groups anew the participants in that life.” PARIS, Aug. 29.—The French news- papers generally distrust the practica- bility of the Czar’s peace scheme and clearly indicate that France would make the restoration of Alsace-Lor- raine a prerequisite to her participa- tion in_the conference. The Temps says: “It is to be hoped | that Europe, like France, will consider | the Czar’s proposal in a spirit similar | to that whereby it was inspired. Never- | theless, it must not be forgotten that if France owes it to heaself to ald in such an attempt there is another por- tion of her moral patrimony which she cannot abandon without abdicating the very reason of her existence. France cannot forget the elogquent words ex- | changed between the Czar and the | President regarding the rights of peo- Dles and justice. Count Muravieff's cir- | cular seems a rejoinder to Mr. | Goschen’s speech, whether or mnot it | was so intended. Therefore it lacks neither wit nor appropriateness. How- ever, it would be singularly belittling the inspiration and meaning of the pro* | posal to see nothing else in it or even | to connect It with a wish to hamper | from the outset the conclusion of an | alliance between the United States and Great Britain. What will the German William think of the initiative of Nicholas? That Prince will hardly con- sent to play second fiddle.” | “'The Libertie remarks: “The gravest questions which demand solution in- volve France, and the Czar has un- doubtedly considered these complica- tions and has consulted the powers interested. It is tp be presumed he has reason to believe his views will’ tri- umph.” The Masotte de France says: “Rus- sia made us go to Kiel, but to-day she leads us to a conference which will sanction a readjustment of 187L..” The Journal des Debats refers to the past, “which we cannot forget,” as be- ing a “stumbling-block” In the way of the success of the conference, The Patrie expresses the opinion that Great Britain will never renounce her maritime supremacy. BERLIN, Aug. 20.—The North Ger- man Gazette, referring to-day to the Czar’s peace conference proposals, re- marks: “Our armaments were never intended for selfish ends, but only for our own protection and for the main- tenance of peace. We are willing to give a fair trial to another method of attaining the object at a smalter cost.” The National Zeitung says: “The Czar and his Ministers have not de- luded themselves with the idea that they can rid the world of the ' causes which for years have been responsible for the growing armaments. When a great power, however, addresses such proposals to others thev will be recog- nized everywhere as deserving of the most serious consideration.” The Vossische Zeitung expresses the opinion that the importance of the note does not lie in the proposal for a con- ference, but in its conception. The Post warmly eulogizes the Czar's motives, which, it adds, “must every- where arouse sympathy.” The Kreuz Zeitung says: “No one can yet appreciate the real significance of the note. Its bitter-sweet reception in France shows it will not meet with universal approval.” According to the Hamburger Corre- spondentz the note will remain for- ever an imperishable monument to the fame of Emperor Nicholas. Continu- ing the paper says: “It stands to rea- son that Germany welcomes the pro- posal in the most glad manner and is prepared to co-operate in the sacred work.” LONDON, Aug. 29.—General Willlam Booth of the Salvation Army sent the following telegram to Emperor Nicho- las this afternoon: ““May it please your Majesty: I have received with profound thankfulness to God the news of your Imperial Maj- esty's wise, beneficient and Christian- like proposal in favor of universal peace. 1 cannot refrain from assuring you of the admiration of the multitudes of Salvationists in all f)&rts of the world, whose prayers will ascend to Almighty God for your Majesty and for the triumphs of those principles of peace and righteousness after which they are ever striving, and which are moving you to seek the true welfare of all nations. - “This great act of God’s will must forever add to the honor of your Majesty’'s name, reign and country.” WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—The extra- ordinary circular note directed by the Russian Forelgn Minister to the mem- bers of the diplomatic body at St. Petersburg has attracted the earnest attention of the officials here. It 1s belleved that the victory COUNT MURAVIEFF, Russia’s Foreign Minister, Who Transmitted to the Foreign Diplomat at St. Petersburg the Czar’s Note Declaring for Lasting Peace Between the Powers and the Reduetion of Armaments. achieved by the United States in the late. war was a contributing factor in the preparation of the note. It is sur- mised that that victory made it clear at once to the European statesmen that to maintain the balance of power they would be obliged to redouble their ex- penditures on account of army and navy, else they might be outstripped by the United States. The official mind looks upon the Russlan project for & general disarmament as Utoplan at this time, and while any statement as to the attitude of the United States to- ward such a conference as that pro- | posed is purely conjectural in advance of the receipt of the invitation, the im- pression prevails that our Government would not care to take any active part in its deliberations. BILLS AT THE PLAYHOUSES “The Master” Is Sad but Charming. FRAWLEYS IN “THE RAJAH” «BUTTERFLIES” BY THE NEW ALCAZAR COMPANY. Tivoli Produces ‘Mignon.” «Fallen Among Thieves” at Morosco’s—Great Acts at the Orpheum. 2 The The audlence at the Baldwin last night was afforded a dramatic treat in the presentation of “The Master,” by Henry Miller and the Frohman Company. The play is a three-act English comedy, with the lachrymose element predominating, but enough of the humorous to lighten the somberness and relieve the painful situa- tions with a good laugh. It is a picture of that side of life which is usually hid- den behind the portals of the home, il- lustrating to what lengths the deliberate pigheadedness and injustice the iron will of a master mind will carry a man, how he can deceive himself by reiterated dec- | larations that he is right and all the rest | of the world fools; how adversity and the | loneliness of an old man can break that| adamantine nature and bring out of the | wreck the sterling qualities so long hid- den. In the title role Mr. Miller does some of his very best work, and ably displays not only the flinty side of the 0ld master but_gives flitting glimpses of the honest, well-meaning_heart that beats beneath the proud millionaire’s breast. He carries the difficult role easily and with perfec- tion, showing how such a man as the master can, because his will is thwarted, drive son, daughter and wife from home and bid them stay, banish the servants, abuse his best friend and counselor, lose his great fortune and still make a brave effort to endure the gout and maintain his indefensible position; how love finally con- quers and the sunny side of the erstwhile tyrant shines forth for aye. The character {5 0 cleverly drawn that one cannot r sist admiring the old fellow, notwith- standing his glaring faults. An admirable feature of the play is the delightful portrayal of the part of the old counselor by C. Leslie Allen. Mabel Bert, as the loving, long-suffering wife, acted a trying part very capably, and Margaret Dale as the willful daughter who marries the man of her choice, threw a novel | charm into her work. The lesser parts | were skillfully handled, the result being | a beautiful picture that one wishes to see more than once. The play Is handsomely mounted. It will hold the boards this week only. The Tivoli. The ever-pleasing ‘‘Mignon” was pre- sented at the Tivoli last evening to a large and highly appreciative audience. The production ran smoothly, and In every respect reflected at credit on the management. Ameng the principal parts, Mr. Zerni sang Wilhelm Meister with his usual sincerity. His voice is very flex- ible and sweet and under good control, but his acting is not calculated to create enthusiasm, nor is his English accent captivating. However, his vocal efforts won him a recall. Mignon was sung by Mary Linck with flattering success, her Gipsy song in the first act evoking continued applause. Her full,"rich contralto voice was in fine tone and her finished acting rounded out the part in_a manner to command admiration. Anna Lichter, as Felina, the coquettish actress, was charming and gave a bril- liant display of her varied talents. Her clear, melodious voice and easy vocaliza- tlon 'were greatly admired, and her re- ception showed that she has established herself as a genuine favorite. Signor Wanrell, as Lotharlo, did some pleasing work, but he might improve on his artie- ulation. W. H. West and Elvia Crox were in c]onsenlal parts and sang and acted well. To-night a double bill, “Cavallerfa Rus- ticana” and ‘‘Pagliacci,” will be present- ed. The Columbia. T. Daniel Frawley has produced many plays in San Francisco of higher class than “The Rajah,” which Is on this week at_the Columbia, but few contain a more dramatic climax than is reached toward the close of the last act. Although not teeming with interest, is quite entertain- ing through the first three acts. The R: , a character well portr:s'ed b; Frawley, arrives at Wyncott L 1o to him as a legacy by a deceased uncle, and assumes control, together with the suard(anshlp of Gladys Wyncott, adopted aughter of the former proprietor of the lodge. She is willful, a coquette in fact, and through a series of they form a mutual attachment. nally another will 18 found bequeathing the es- tate to_Gladys. The Rajah is about to depart to India, dramatic episodes after turning over the estate to its legal heir, but an escaped convict, whom the Rajah identifled and was about to turn over the authorities, appeared at the house bent on murdering the man who would betray him. The convict is dis- covered by Gladys. She saves the Rajah’s life, and the latier gives the escaped pris- oner a passport to liberty. Miss Fanchon Campbeli assumes the character of Gladys and is deserving of much credit for the manner in which she delineated it. Others who played their parts well are Miss Adora_Andrews, who took the character of Emilia_Jekyll, Gladys' best friend. _Theodore Roberts the convict, Alfred Hickman, clerk of Emilia Jekyll's father, and Louis Payne, Jekyll's assistant, and echo. The Alcazar. “The Butterfiles,” as its name fmplles, is a light and airy comedy, more or less farcical and well calculated to bring out the best work of the reorzanized Alcazar stock company in the laugh-creating line. The love story on which it is based is not novel, but it develops situations that create a great deal of fun. As this is the sole aim of the autnor and ° the management and the audience were well entertained the presentation of “The | Butterflles” may be announced as a suc- | cess. One of the features of the new company that will not be overlooked is the fact that nearly all the iadies are blessed with faces fair to see, while the gentlemen, will not be accused of bein omely. All of which is valuable capital. The people are well cast, fit their parts well and are certain to win favor with the patrons of the house. Among the new members secured by Mr. Belasco, and who appeared last night were: Earnest Hastings, Wallace Shaw, Francis Yale, miss Isis’ Maynard, Miss Marfe Howe, Miss Gretchen Lyons, Miss Edna Ewen and Miss Marguerite Yost. Chutes Theater. The large audience at the Chutes Free Theater gazed up in the air last evening | and saw a most thrilling, daring trapeze performance the three De Novas. With utmost nonchalance one of the acrobats Swings from a trapeze en- tirely across the jbuilding and into the hands of another, and makes the return in an Instant. The act, in its way, is as strong as that of the Hegelmans at the Orpheum. Conlon and Ryder, acrobatic comedians, and Dick Mack, an eccentric talker, who had a lot of original remarks, were also new, and made hits. Busch, the “‘Golden Vampire,” Garden and Hunt, the musical team, and Arthur Salvini, tenor, had new numbers to offer, and were as well received as last week. There were many changes in the moving pictures, and Cannon, who is in his last days at the Haight-street grounds, was as great an object of interest as ever. The big Aus- tralian snake and baby lions are the new features in the Zoo. irmceful and Orpheum. Five new acts were on at the Orpheum | last night, which, with changes by several of the holdovers, made an almost entirely new bill. Of the new people, honors were divided between the Pasqualis, operatic singers, and Charles Alderich, a comic juggler, while Sadi, the Russian gymnast, is one of the best seen ‘on the Orpheum boards. Charles Baron and his trained Great Danes do a very funny act, in which the dogs are dressed to imitate lions, while their master appears as a clown liontamer. Charles Case, the mono- loguist, won the appreciation of the whole | house.’ Barney Fagen, the one-time pop- ular minstrel, assisted by Miss Byron, appeared in a mediey of wit and songs. Grand O p;;flouse. The drama, “Fallen Among Thieves,” was the attraction at the Grand Opera House last mfm It is one of the usual vice-virtue-villainy plays, virtue triumph- ing in the end. The principal characters were_sustained by Fred J. Butler, Max von Mitzel, Landers Stevens, Jessie Shir- ley and Lorena Atwood. W. R. Dailey and Leslie Morosco gave touches of light comedy as an Irishman and Dutchman throughout the five acts that were highly appreciated. Olympia. The Olympia Music-hall has Trixedo, the wonderful contortion dancer, and El Nido Eddy, the king of the bounding wire, among its new attractions. These, to- gether with Kelly and Violette, Darrell and Millar, Maude Rockwell, Anita La Mont and others, make up an interesting programme, FLYING DISTRESS SIGNALS. Lake Steamship Superior May Have Gone Down With Its Crew. DETROIT, Aug. 2.—A special to the News from Mackinaw City says: In a severe storm yesterday, near Povert Island, the steamer Superior parted With her consort, the schooner Sandusky. The Sandusky arrived here to-day and reports that the last that was seen of the Supe- rior she was flying signals of distress. The Superior is owned by A. M. Bradley of Cleveland. She is a wooden boat of the older class, having been built in 1§73, Sha registers 964 tons. With the Sandusky the steamer was bound from Escanaba to Toledo with iron ore, and carries a crew of fourteen men. s . Grand Circuit Races.
