The late order of the war department on the subject has been directly reversed. There is much conjecture as to the cause for the sudden change of policy. The- war department announces that the move is merely in furtherance of a plan to garrison the Philippines, Cuba and Porlo Rico. It is also said the new plan includes 80,000 men for the Philippines, 13,600 (or Porto Rioo and 80,000 for Cuba. A Jesuit priest haa been shot for per suading rebels to desert Aguinaldo.

Havana, Sept. 20. Rumors that have been put in circulation to the offeot that General Wade, president of the evacuation commission, is ill with yellow fever, may be denied absolutely. General Wade is looking the picture of health. The general health on board the steamer Resolute is good. An official meeting of the Spanish commission was held last night to con sider the form of evacuntiun by tbe Spanish troops and with the object of acquainting the Amerioans with the positions and numbers of the Spanish soldiers, and tho best method of em barking them. r This afternoon there wore tent on board the Resolute scaled documents supposed to contain tho statement of the results of last night's conference. It is understood that it is proposed to start the evacuation from oast to west, embarking the troops at tho points of Gibara, Nuovitas, Cionfuegos and Haa ana. The official atatomcnt of the number of Spanish soldiers in the island is aaid to place tho aggregate at 100,000, and it ia understood that it is proposed that the men cany with them their arms, ammunition, material and equip ments. It is estimated that the end of Feb ruary will have come before tho evacu ation ot the island Is completed. The soldiers must embark in Spanish ves sels. It is suggested that this will be an advantage to both countries, the United States having an opportunity to acclimate its men during the winter months, and it ia proposed that the American government shall land troops to occupy each port simultaneoutdy with its evacuation, not leaving any post unguarded at any time. A difference of opinion botween a Cuban and a Spanish officer iu a prom inent cafe here this morning resulted in an exchange ot abusive Innguags and a free fight followed. Tbe dis turbance was promptly quelled by the polioe, and the ringleaders were ar rested. The disorder is said to have been provoked by the Cuban. : A secret meeting of tbe officers of tbe Spanish warships now in port was held at the governor's palace.

Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, died at noon today at hotel here, to . which place she came at a guest in the early part of the pier'a tecial season.

Tho Philippine genera) assembly was inaugurated at Malo Los yesterday with great enthu siasm. Thore wore thousands of visit ors from the provinces, and a great dis play waa made. Aguinaldo, at V o'clock in the rooming, entered tbe hall of the convent recently occupied by tlie Spanish local government It is an extremely plain room, adorned only with some religious pictures. The insurgent leader was in evening Iress, according to the Spanish custom, f ie others wore ordinary costumes. ' Aguinaldo, who was received with eheers and also with cries of "Viva America" by the large crowd of native! inside and outside the hall, read a de cree convening the members, who in eluded several Spaniards. He next read a message eulogizing the army, and thanking tbe friendly nations which had set tbe historic example of liberty and bad assisted a down-trodden race. Continuing, Aguinaldo urgently and eloquently exhorted the assembly to "follow the noblest prin ciples" and invoiced the "spirits of the martyred Filipinos.' The assembly then adjourned for the day. A Spanish delegate sug gested that business be resumed in tlie afternoon, but a Filipino objeoted, and accused the Spaniar.l of attempting to undermine the constitution. To thia the Spaniard replied that be was a sin cere republican, and that his own de sire was tbe welfare of the conntiy. Whereupon, the Filipino apologized, and the proceedings terminated.' During the afternoon many Ameri cans and Europeans arrived and Agui naldo waa kept busy receiving visitors, including tlie American oonsul. The press correspondent -had a pri vate interview with Aguinaldo, who it extremely unwilling to compromise himself with the natives, fie said that a majority of tlie Filipinos had been struggling for freedom for yeara tnd centuries, and that they now be lieve that their object haa been at tained. Aguinahlo piofessed entire ignorance of the autonomous system in vogue in the British oolonies, of pro tectorates and of American autonomy. He aaid he was unable to understand the idea, and only understood "ab solute. independence." Personally ha believed a proteotorate for the Philip pine islands waa unnecessary, but ha feared that the people would bo disap pointed in this. He had not studied political economy and knew nothing about the varioua forma of government. He inquired whether Australia was an American colony, and said he had never heard of a Malay protectorate. Continuing, the insurgent leader said there was no need of protection for the Philippine Islands, because the Filipinos were able to cope with any army. He admitted that he had never seen a foieign army, with the excep tion of the garrisons at Hong Keng and Singapore, and he had never seen these troops on parade. Aguinaldo declined to discusa the American army and protested his un dying gratitude to the Amerioans. He said they bad come to the Philip pines to fight tbe Spaniards only, and now that they had finished the task, it was to be expected that they would re turn to America. He waa unwilling to believe that tbe Americans would demand a reward for an act of human ity, and he declined tg admit the necea tity of a quid pro quo. Tbe Filipino leader expressed him self confident that the newly founded government would build a navy ulti mately. In the meantime, be said, the great nationa should protect and aid any young nation, instead of grab bing her territoiios. If the Americana should refuse to withdraw, the national assembly, he said, must decide tlie policy to be pursued a policy which he declined to forecast , Further conversation was prevented by the strains of a brass band, but General Aguinaldo wat interviewed also by a dozon American journalists. A Spaniard, supposed to be an officer, ununiformed, traversed tbe town, sneering at and denouncing tbe princi ples of the Filipinos. On bis resent ing a friendly remonstrance, ha wat placed under arrest Several Filipinos assured the corre spondent that they have personally witnessed horiible tortures at Iloilo; the feet of natives hold to a candle flame for hours, electrio currents ap-1 plied to tho most sensitive parte of the , UUUJ MI1U YOflUUB umitiuivuuio niruuiuuB all intended to extort confession.

Before leaving the state de partment Secretary Day held a recep tion and said farewell to all the em ployes individually.

About 700 people besiged the house of General Toral today, demanding that the troops which arrived here yesterday from San tiago de Cuba on board the Spanish steamer Leon XII be immediately landed. They proceeded to the quay, cheering the troops, and were with dif ficulty dispersed by the soldiers of the garrison. Afterwarda a crowd of about 1,500 returned to the quay, and when they saw tbe soldiers landing barefoot ed and nearly naked, tbey became in furiated and surrounded General Tor al'a bouse, hissing and stoning the building. Eventually, the Spanish general succeeded in escaping to the Leon XIII. On learning thia, tbe mob gatbered on the dock and stoned the steamer for half an hour. . Tbe Leon waa obliged to leave the place where she was anohored. Five steamers are ready to transport the returning Spanish soldiers and civil officers, with the archives and muni tions of war from Cuba, but it is be lieved it will take font months and cost 80,000,000 peseta! to bring the troops back to Spain. ... , Newo From Daweoa. : Port Townsend, Wash., Sept .19.

This waa done at Captain Evans' per sonal request. He served more than the period of time required by regula tions and praotioo for a captain to com mand. Secretary Long baa decided to assign Captain Evans to duty as a member of the naval inspection board, and he will assume his new duties after a brief vacation. The next commander of the Iowa will be Captain 8ilaa Terry, ol the re ceiving ship at the Marfolk navy-yard. He will take the ship around South America and over to Honolulu in com pany of the Oregon and some colliers. It ia said at the navy department to day that the orders to the battle-sbipa bave not yet been issued, and that when they are, they will ultimately proceed to join Dewey's fleet at Ma nila, if it ahould be deemed expedient to reinforce him. But aa tbe journey around South America will occupy nearly four montha and many changes in the situation aa to the Philippines may be expected to occur before the ex piration of that period of time, It can not be certainly foretold whether or not the Orergon and the Iowa will ever reaoh Manila. When attention wat called to tho possibility of the dispatch of reinforce ment to Dewey being regarded as a technical violation of the truce now pending, It was taid at the navy de partment that that matter would proba bly be adjusted before the ships readied Honolulu by the action of the peace commission at Paris. : Should this not be tbe case, however, it will be easy to intercept the ships at Honoluln by a dispatch boat, which could make the run from San Francisco in a week. Am erf can and German Foree. Mew York, Sept. 1?. A special to the Herald from Washington says: So tar as Germany ia concerned, the au thoiitiea say there ia nothing in her al titude to cause the belief that abe pro pose! to interfere with any disposition of tbe Philippines this government may see fit to make. It is appreciated, however, that it will be the part of wisdom of the United States to put in the Pacific a force so formidable aa, to discourage even thia suggestion of inter ference. Germany's force in the Pacific con sists of the armored cruisers Kaiser and Deutschland, the protected cruisers Kierln Augusta, Irene, Princess Wil helm, Geifbn, Cormoran and Falke. The displacement ot Rear-Admiral Dewey's present force amounts to 80, 833 ton, while that of the German com mander reaches 87,881. Rear-Admiral Dewey'a ships, however, are better armed than the German men of-war, and their men have tbe advantage of having been under fire. The monitoia Monterey and Monad- nock are mainly serviceable for work in smooth water, and if the German ships should start for the Pacific coast, as would be the case in the event of war, Rear-Admiral Dewey would have only bis protected cruisers and gun boats to depend upon. With two battle-ships at hit disposal, increasing the tqiiuiga of his squadron to 68,859 tons, ' he would bave a most formidable force. WITHDREW FROM MANILA.
