ONCE MORE
Washington Trying Now to Get
Everything Down to Tempor

STILL M_ GUARD
Aand the Vessels of the Naw
Will Be Kept to Patrol
[the Coast.
CONTROL Os COBA
Will Still Remain with the War De
partment All the Islands Will
Remain Under Military Rule.
Washington, August 13 —'With peace
proclaimed all the energies of tihe military
ami naval establishments were today di
rected Into Pacific channels.
The sudd, n change from war to peace
was manifest in the war and navy depart
ments. There was no further expectancy
of dramatic developments, battles or new
campaigns .
The orders given last night for the im
mediate cessation of hostilities brought all
the military and naval movements to a
halt and it now remained only to bring
affairs back to a peace basis.
In this how. ver, the authorities are act
ing on the theory that the protocol was
but the first step towards peace and not
until final an I lasting peace is secured
could there be an entire return to a peace
basis.
This particularly is true as to the navy
department In that blanch it is accepted
that permanent u>» ace undoubtedly will be
made and yet instead of stripping our
warships and redistributing them into
squadrons on a peace basis and returning
them to the old channels the naval au
thorities have acted on the principal that
the, present armistice might end in the re
sumption of hostilities.
For that reason the four battleships and
tiwo armored cruisers ordered north from
the West Indian waters are to undergo a
oomph te overhauling with a vl. w; to put
ting them in the pink of condition. For
many months they have been in tropical
waters, their botoms are foul and the en
gines and machinery need careful over
hauling As soon as they reach New York
all work at the navy will bo subordinated
to pushing the complete overhauling of
the battl. ships and cruisers. 4
Meanwhile the smaller warships in West
Indian waters have been ordered to safe
haniiors, as the West Indian hurricane
season is near at hand. While sufficient
ships for police patrol will be left along
the 'Cuban and Porto Rican coast the big
unweildy monitors will remain at Porto
Rico and most of the blockading tleet will
center at Key West under Watson.
The peace protocol will give a breathing
spell and time for the (bringing of every
ship back to the highest state of perfec
tion.
It is expected that the American occu
pation of Manila will occur immediately
after the receipt by Dewey and Merritt of
the oredrs sent them last night.
This may not be deferred for the lack
of cable facilities as the American, occu
pation at Manila will probably result in
the opening of direct cable communication
to that vitv The only difficulty thus far
has been that the cable company would not
recognize American control of the cable
so long as our forces were not in posses
sion of the city
The orders sent to Dewey were much
more specific than those sent the other
naval commanders as the occupation of
Manila and the holdlug of the bay and
harbor involve more important considera
tion than the mere'cessation of hostilities.
Consideration is being given to the ap
pointment of the military commissi'-Bors
iind may prominent commanders in the
army have been mentioned.
The energies of the war depart me” t are
now being directed towards making the
soldiers in the field and the different
eamps as comfortable as possible relieving
the sick and taking care of the wounded
and placing the soldiers in- healthy and
more pleasant . imps and quarters.
Arrangements will be made to send
larger r< infer cements to Merritt. With the
troops already at Manila and those which
Will arrive within a few days Merriett will
have 16.000 men.

ALL IN GOOD SPIRITS.
Last Day on American Soil Was a
Busy One—What Col. Ray Says
About Col. Reaves.
Savannah, August 13. —The Third regi
ment of United State® volunteers, 'Colonel
P. H. Ray, will sail this afternoon for San
tiago on the transport Minnewaska. The
ship was to have gotten away this morning
but certain repairs were not remedied in
time to catch the early tide. The men are
all on board and 'in fine shape.
After the usual reveille and breakfast
yesterday morning the work of breaking
camp begsan at 7 o’clock, and soon the city
of shelter tents had disappeared. The
baggage, tenting, etc., filling live freight
ears, were hauled to the Ocean Steamship
wharf, over the 'Central railway, and
promptly loaded on the transport.
Just before 10 o’clock the regiment was
formed, turned over to the celonel and the
march was begun to the steamer. First
came the regimental band, next Colonel
Ray and staff; first battalion, Captain
Wilson; third battalion, Major (Frank
Gordon; second battalion. Major T. S.
Wylly. Then came the guard escorting
four prisoners, city ambulance, wagons,
for sick, and a long line of vehicles.
Soon the immune® swung into the Bay
street extension and the marching became
easier. In the ambulance wagons rode the
sick of tha regiment, twelve in numiber,
suffering most from malarial fever, aud
along the route six soldiers fell out of
rank, overcome by heat, and were prompt
ly picked up by the ambukance corps and
their wants administered to by a hospital
detail. After reaching the wharf one more
man collapsed, and he was taken in charge
by the chaplain, who is on his way to San
tiago.
The road was lined with spectators, who
cheered the gallant boys as they parsed,
company I receiving the most generous
share, since the .majority of its members
hail from Savannah. 'No bunk, cot or bed
falls to the lot of the private soldiers, but
a regular Jack Tar’s hammock. These are
hung between uprights two and one-half
feet apart and are double-deckers, like
the berths of a sleeping car. The ventila
tion is well arranged.
The steamer is equipped with an electric
plant. Two engines and two dynamos
furnish 700 lights for the ship, and a
search-light. The Minnewaska, now the
Q. IM. P. 24, was formerly an .Atlantic
liner for passengers. She is of 7,800 tons,
has a freight capacity of 5,000 tons, room
. for 1,000 horses, besides the men. Her
speed is about 13 knots. Her horse power
is about 6,000. She has twin screws and
triple expansion engines. In fact, her ma
chinery is first-class In every respect-
There were, of course, some tearful
goodbys yesterday morning when the
troops were marched to the wharfs and put
on board. As a rule, though, this ordeal
had been gone through with in the inland
towns and there was not is much weep
ing, the officers say, as at Macon. The
provost guard has been out all day gath
ering in the stragglers, as Colonel Ray
says they must all be aboard.
The conduct of the regiment has been
extremely good ever since it has been in
Savannah, only three of the men having
at any time been taken in charge by the
police.
Lieutenant Colonel A. S. Reaves did not
command his battalion yesterday morning
when the troops went aboard the trans
port. Captain Wilson, of company D. tha
senior captain, was put in charge of it.
Colonel ißay has relieved him from active
duty. The lieutenant colonel did not go to
the transport last night. Colonel Ray was
asked about the trouble existing between
himself and his lieutenant colonel.
“The statement that .1 did not like tha
colonel,” said he, "because he is too pop
ular with the men is untrue. I wish I had
a more competent man as lieutenant colo
nel, and the more popular he is the better
I would like it. The second officer in
command cannot be too popular for me.
It had not been my purpose to say much
about this matter until Lieutenant Colonel
Reaves made his statement, but now I
want to say that it is not his physical but
his mental ability I want -to inquire into.
He is not mentally capable of command
ing his battalion. That is the reason he
has been excused from duty. He does not
know enough about military matters to
put a regiment In camp. If anything
should happen to me he could not assuma
command of the men, and as I am re
sponsible for the men under me I feel that
I must have competent officers to call
upon when I need them. I have done ail
I can to assist Lieutenant Colonel Reaves.
I have had lihm drilled and catechised in
the school of the soldier, but all to no
avail. He doesn’t seem to be able to grasp
the military teaching necessary for a naan
occupying his position in the regiment.
I have asked not for a board of survey on
him, but for a board of officers to ex
amine into his mental qualifications to
command a battalion.”

is uot necessary or proper unless the liti
gation in bankruptcy in a particular coun
ty is so great as to demand the service of
a referee exclusively for that county, In
this event, several referees may be ap
pointed for a particular county, and at

and designate, and from time to time
change the limits of the districts of ref
erees, so that each county, where the ser
vices of a referee are needed, may con
stitute at least one district."

| Chickamauga, August 13.—The mem at
j Camp Thomas are now playing a waiting
game.
j None of the officials seemingly know
I what is in store for them or their men.
’’ The regiments ordered to the new camp
have received no orders indicating when

when the war began.

a motive for doing it. What a pity that
there are always two sides to a thing. The
general price-cut inaugurated here has

other. Every quick-witted business man
is agreed on this point. We put good
theories into practice, and that is why a
