MADRID MUCH IRRITATED The Government Threatens to Send the Spanish Troops in Cuba Against the Insurgents Unless the Latter Ceases Operations. .London, Aug. 24. According to a Ma drid dispatch to a local news agency there has been eerioua fighting between the Spaniards and insurgents in Cuba, i n which the insurgents lost 500 killed and woudded. The report cannot be can firmed from other sources. New Yoek, Aug. 24. A dispatch to Herald from Madrid says : There is a growing feeling of irritation which hag been discussed fully in min isterial circles, at the failure of the in surgents to respect the protocol and or der for cessation of hostilities. An im portant political personage said : "If matters continue thus, Spain will find herself compelled to stop the rep atriations of the Cuban troops unless the United States can give a guarantee that Spanish interests will be safeguard ed from the piratical inclinations of the insurgents.'' The matter is at such a point that if the insurgents continue hostilities, the government, according to the most im portant ministerialists, will give orders to the Spanish troops to take the offens ive against those insurgents who do not respect the protocol. H. S. Rubens, consul for the Cuban delegation, said it was possible small bands of Cubans were still fighting in the interior. There are no telephone or telegraph wires over the Ulan j, and it is thought that some of the bands are possibly not yet aware of the cwation of hostilities. VANCOUVER MAY LOSE THE BARRACKS Why Soldiers Should Be Taken From This Point and Stationed at Spo kane or Other Places in the Inter ior Headquarters May, How ever be Removed to Portland. Portland, Aug. 24. A statement ap pearing in a Washington dispatch says that the government officials are think ing seriously of abandoning Vancouver barracks. It is claimed that when the Washing ton volunteers are mustered out of ser vice, "then the regulars formerly sta tioned at those headquarters will be scattered through the Pacific Northwest, the greater number going to the near posts at Spokane and Magnolia bluff, Seattle." The dispatch goes on further to say that the government is planning to plat and sell the same as town lots. Another view is that the government would do better by effectinz an exchange with the state of Washington, for state lands fac ing upon the tidewater, where they will be needed hereafter in the development of coast defense fortifications for that section. The author of the dispatch argues that if the plan he outlines is carried out, Spokane will gain what Portland and its suburb, Vancouver, may lose. Adjutant-General Tutt'.e was first shown the dispatch. He said : "So far as I have been informed, the only thing that was ever thought of was to remove the department headquarters to Portland. So far as abandoning the post at Vancouver is concerned, it is the third most important post in the United States service, and I never heard of euch a thing being mentioned. I consider the report a canard. I do not think euch an idea was ever thought of by any one in authoritv." AMERICAN OR BRITISH RULE IS DEMANDED If Assured of Securing Either the Phil ippine Insurgents Agree to Lay Down their Arms. Manila, Aug. 24. At a conference to day between the insurgents and Ameri cans, the former declared emphatically they were willing to co-operate with the Americans and to surrender their arms promptly if assured the islands would remain either an American or a British colony, under the protectorate of the United States or Great Britain. Other wise the insurgent leaders asserted they would not dare to disarm, and must positively refuse to do so. They threaten fresh rebellion within a month if the Americans withdraw. The natives assert religious orders are instigating opposition to American supremacy. Newspapers published in both English and Spanish have already appeared. The United States transports Rio Janeiro and Pennsylvania arrived today, the former bearing two battalions of South Dakota volunteers, recruits for the Utah light artillery and a detach ment for the signal corps, and latter the First Montana volunteers and 300 re cruits tor the First California volunteers.

SCAM A A HOSPITAL SHIP She Will Carry a Million Dollars to Manila to Pay Off the Troops at that Place. San Francisco, Aug. 24. The mili tary authorities in this city have re ceived instructions from Adjutant-General Corbin countermanding previous orders to send a large body of soldiers to Honolulu. No more troops will leave here until further notice, and three steamers which were to have left early next week, will not go, at least not as transport steamers. The Scandia has been ordered to de part as soon as possible, and will be used as a hospital ship. Two compan ies and a half of New Yorkers, besides a band, were to have eailed on the Scan dia to join their regiment at Honolulu, and as the New Yorkers are a part of the regular expeditionary force, a tele gram has been sent to Washington ask ing if the countermanding order or in cluded them. IT THE SULTAN DEAD? Trouble of Large Dimensions Brewing In the Orient. New York, Aug. 24. A dispatch to the Herald, dated at Tangier today, says: In order effectually to check the ru mor of the sultan's death and divert the public attention, it i3 assiduously re ported that he has left Marrakesn for Fez, there to receive the embassies' of ficial visits, returning after the uprising has been q:ielled. Mennwhile.the grand vizier is alarmed at the increasing influence of Germany, and at the Italian demands, and is pre paring to dispatch the Moorish embassy to Europe, probably to London and Rome, to settle outstanding claims. The Spanish gunboat General Valdez arrived this morning with government orders for the Spanish minister. There is great excitement at the Italian con sulate. Mohammed Torres is becoming threatening and the Italians are defiant. If there is no answer to the ultimatum, a warship will start at once for Spez zia. There is absolutely no definite news concerning the sultan, and the public mind is undecided whether he is dead or alive. To Care a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.

THEY WERE GOOD FIGHTERS Japanese Admiral Thinks America Has Mastered the Art of Building Ships and Fighting Them. Chicago, Aug. 24 Admiral Ok Mat- sonnaga, of the Japanese imperial navy, is registered at the Grand Pacific hotel. He is accompanied by J. Takenochi, a paymaster to the imperial navy, and is en route to England, where he will sup erintend the construction of the two Japanese battle-ships building there. Discussing the recent naval victory and the causes, he said : 'You Americans certainly seem to have mastered the art of constructing most effective battie-ships. The mag nificent record of the Oregon is an ex ample. "You seem to be able to fiaht your ships pretty well. There are many val uable lessons to be learned from the war, not the least of which is that per sonal courage, when misdirected and when opposed by a cool and skillful foe, is of no moment whatever. . "From a technical point of view, the most impressive lession is that expert gunnery is above all things the most im portant factor in naval conflicts. . Your country undoubtedly possessed ships which were greatly superior to those of Spain, and they were manned better in every respect, but. it was your greatly superior gunnery which, for the greater part, gave you such crushing victories."
