Belief That He Was Going to New York and Stole Away on a French Liner. Now York. September 3.-A dlspateli to Tin- Herald from Havana via Key Wo.G, Fla., says: Having su ces.sfully done every thing in his pow- I to conv.-y Hie impi. s sioti dial Ii" wa sailing to Spain via New York on the st. . im ldp Philadelphia Tlmrs ,l IV G. 11-r il Pan.io s. • reily start. .1 dir. . t for his native land about ten hours lati r on tiie French st-amer Notre Dame de Saiut it is s lid, with ran.' The secret was so effectively kept that very few persons here have any knowledge of it. and all the Havana papers .inmim.ee J'atldo's departure on Hie Pailadelpliia. Before s o'clock in tin nmrnlng, when few persons were about. General Pando and H e tr ..sure were put aboard. Hie Notre Dame du Saiut, every effort he.ng made to avoid not!.-. I’ando was n.' soom r aboard the i hip than he sent for Captain Pill H'.l ami in trusted the 12,(ilX).(KK) tram .» to li: ; Keep ing, taking his receipt for it. 1'..;, i" then locked himself in nis stateroom and re mained (once.led until the ship left the harbor, about 7 o'clock in tin- evening. Their are many plausible reasons for General Pando's conduct, though exactly wlrn li one moved him it is impossible to ascertain. Much depends on where the ti ensure he carried away came from, ba’, whatever its source, while the army is .seven months in arrears and the civil list four months, and while both' cry out for pay. it .is ..iivious that a dangerous amount of discontent will be stirred up if the knowledge of Hie transportation of any such amount becomes public. Although I’ando .had the reputation of having considerable private wealth, it is preposterous that such a stun could lie realized on his property here under existing circumstances. If the amount taken was paid by Blanco at Madrid’s order, army and civil list conditions would make se crecy- absolute. If it was taken with it Blanco’s knowl edge, no matter from what source, s 'creey would be no less a necessity for I'ando, because of the treasury straits here. The funds may have been the combined resources euphemistically called t.h.i sav ings of I’ando and friendly otlicers. The. sunt may have been, and most probably was, largely made up of subscriptions from Spaniards in South America, Central Ani. r li-.i and Mexico, which v iclied I’ando in large amounts during his visit to Mexico. General Blanco having ignored Pando's plan for the defense of Santiago, i’ando probably insisted on delivering the funds direct in Madrid rather than through Blan eo. Here, again, secrecy would be essen tial. It is worthy of note that on the Notre Dame du Saiut, besides i’ando, were Gen erals Figuereoa and Saliedo, sent home in d'-graee by Blanco. Other pas-.'iig.'i s in cluded many cadets from Spanish military schools and wounded or ill soldiers pro vided with blankets and other comforts by tlio Spanish Bed Cross. Apropos of Pando’s departure, persons hero have long been asking what lias be come of three other high officers who left Cuba when I’ando did to secure vessels to run the blockade, each of these other three hating carried aw iy for that pur pose 50,000 pesetas, of which reports say nothing has been heard sim-e. Within tin last few days the authorities here have reinstituted the system of patrol boats about the Maine wreck as maintain ed before the v.’.ir, intending to show the commission their determinati.jn that Am. r ican property shall De fully protected and ineidentally, that they do not regard tfio cause of the disaster as determined and intend to give no opportunity for the nian ufaeture. of evidence such as would be natural from their point of view.

Jjondon, August 3b.—General Weyler, ac cording to a special dispatch from Madrid, published, her© this afternoon, lias out lined tils future policy, lie proposes, it ap pears, to be independent both of the gov ernment and of Hie opposition, “always aiming to preserve the country and to re organize the army.” He exoressed the be lief that tiie carlists have plenty of money, some of which, lie alleges, comes from ■France. He says the united republicans have no personal animus against tile queen, their only object being to ‘'adopt a. firm in. ternational stand, one result of which would be to check in some measure Eng land's ambition.’’ General W. ylor's statement was made to a committee of the Weyler C.'lub. waieli called upon him this morning at I’alma, Majorca, where lie is staying. This even ing lie expects to speak la fore a club con vention.

Tiie substance of tlem-ral W-yler's decla ration to the Weyb r ('lab is as follows: Tin- general Int-mds to advocate a sweep ing policy of relia I'iiita i ion of tile govern ment. Ho will refuse to aid in any tem porary m. asures and will propes- a mili tary dictatorship for tiie reorgamz ition of tiie army and navy. Their honor, lie remarked, lias been lost, as well as Hie Antilles, owing solely to mil itary deficiencies. General Weyler expressed tho be'ief that tiie present e.aliim t will be sue i by a military dietatoi'sliip or by a. Sllv la minis try.

The soldiers tecently ar rived on transports and detained in tlio detention section of the camp lined up irr.-gularly on each side of Hie road and cheered. Mr. McKinley took off ills straw hat then, and scarcely put it on for more than a minute or two at a time during tho remainder of his progress through the camp. Miss Wheeler, a daughter of the general, happened to be in tiie first row of tho hospital tents and she showed the president through her division.

' No. 1 have everything good for me, I gu< ss,’’ Alexander replied wearllj , “but i wish i were iionn." “f hope t'hat we may soon get you there,” said Mr. McKinley. He had many such bits of talk with the men. and seemed to lie in no hurry. He almost outwore the patience of all his par ty by his slow-going through ward after ward. When seemingly all the wards of the general hospital had been gone through and the president was about to get into a carriage. Attorney General Griggs detain ed him. “Miss Wheeler 'has told me,” said he, "of a Lieutenant Prado, who is in a tent back here by himself, and he is in a dying con dition. He lias asked about your coining, and Miss Wheeler has promised that you s-li Hl see him.” "Certainly. Let us go to him,” Mr. Mc- Kinley said. Today was hot. Mr. McKinley wore a black frock coat with a waistcoat. The perspiration streamed from his face. A glass of Apollinaris was offered to him, but lie declined to drink, saying he was too warm. He proceeded to tiie infantry plain, as it is called. The men of the Nlntlh Mas sachusatts, the First fllinois, the Eighth Ohio, the Thirteenth, Twenty-first, Twen ty-second and Tenth regular ’nfantry were assembled without arms. About 5,000 men stood in close orcifjc.

President McKinley said: "General Shafter. soldiers of Camp Wikoff, soldiers of the Fifth army corps, I trust that you will put your hats on. 1 am glad to meet you. 1 am honored to stand before you today. I bring you tiie gratitude of the nation to whose history you have added, by your valor, a new and glorious page. You have come home after two months' severe campaigning, which has embraced assault, siege and battle; so brilliant in achievement, so far-reaching in results, as to command the unstinted praise of al! your countrymen. You had the brunt of the battle on land. You bore yourselves with supreme courage and your personal bravery, never before excelled anywhere, lias won the admiration of your fellow citizens and the genuine respect of all mankind, while your endurance under peculiar trial and suffering has given ad- ded meaning to your heroism. Your ex ertions made easy the conquest ot 1 orto .Rico under tho resistless army commanded by Major General Miles, and behind you to proceed ala moment's summons were more than 200,000 of your comrades ready to support you, disappointed that tlio op portunity which you had did not come to them, yet filled with pride at yoqr well earned fame and rejoicing upon your sig nal victory. ~ "You wore on tho line of battle. Ih ß y no less than ’you were in the line of duty. All have served their country in its need, all will serve it so long as they may be required and all will forever have the thanks and regard of a grateful people. “We cannot bld you welcome here today without our hearts going out to the heros of Manila, on sea and on land, wlioso ser vices and sacrifices, whose courage amt constancy in that far-distant field of oper ations havo never been surpassed by any soldiers or sailors the world over. To the army and the navy, to the marines, to tho regulars, to tlio volunteers and to that Providence which has watched over them all Hie nation today is full of thanksgiving ami praise. The brave officers and men who fell in battle and those who liax o died from exposure and sickness will live In Immortal story and their memories will be perpetuated in the hearts and the his tories of a generous people, and those who are dependent upon them will not >•<’ neg lected by the government for which they so freely sacrificed their lives. Tho soldiers cheered many times. The part of the field where’ Hie Eighth Ohm stood, the regiment, which is sometimes called “The President’s Own,” was partic ularly noisy. The party then went to the detention hospital. The graveyatd, m which sixty or seventy plain new wooden crosses stood, was near the road on tlio left. Tiie president solemnly raised his 113-t. Mr McKinley wont through all the wards of the detention hospital in tho same careful way In which he had gone througlh those of tiie general hospital. When he camo to the last ward, Major R. T. Ebert said: “This is a dangerous ward,” and turn ing to Secretary of War Alger, inquired: "Do you thina the president had better g‘> In here?” Mr. McKinley, without waiting to hear what General Alger’s reply would lie, started into tiie ward. General Alger and the others of Hie party remained outside. The presidential party then drove through lines of cavalry. ’Pile Third regulars were still acting as the president’s es.-ort. Mr. McKinley then drove to General Wheeler’S headquarters and sat under Hie shade of a. ti nt, llag for a while. Secretary Alger and General Wheeler were with him. The president and those witli him took lunch wltih General Wheeler and 'his staff. After lunch the. president, General Alger, General Wheeler and Colonel Hard, of the Eighth Ohio, were photographed in a group. The president issued an order directing that Hie regular troops at Camp Wikoff whose posts are east of the Mississippi Should return with tllio least possible delay to their posts.
