ARCHBISHOP DOZAL GIVES AN ANALYSIS. His Summary of the Status in the Philippines. Manila, Sept. 18.-In an interview here with him by the correspondent of the Associated Press, Archbishop Bozal of tbe Philippine islands said : "I earnestly hope the islands will not remain Spanish, because the rebels are now so strong that such a course would inevitably cause appalling bloodshed. The reconquest of the na? tives is impossible untft after years of the most cruel warfare ,? He also expressed the hope that the islands would not become'abso lately independent, because it was certain that dissensions would occur which would result in incessant st ii fe and a lapse into barbarism, and the satnral indolence of the tropical race The only hope, the archbishop de? clared, was that a strong western power would intervene now. Delay was dangerous, because the people are intoxicated, vainglorious and restless He said it was undeniable that the . religious ordern must go, because the whole people bad determined to abol ?ab them, now that they were abie to render their retention impossible. He ?aid the, chief blame upon the Domin leans, Augustine and Franciscan re celetans, the richest orders, and next opon the Benedictines and Capuch ians, which are of leas importance. Tbe . Jesuits, Archbishop Dosai says, are comparatively blameless He added that the rival orders quarrel among1 themselves, intrigue, act un? worthily and slander their opponents, thus increasing their general dis? favor Tbe provinciales, who are approxi mately equivalent to archdeacons, are mainly responsible. They are utter? ly beyond the. control of tbe arch bishop, who denies possessing much power. Tbe total number of Spanish priests in the Philippines before the war was about 1,000, but lately every depart? ing steamer bas taken 50 to a 100 of them away, and now barely 500 re? main. A native priest privately stated to the correspondent that the reason tbe archbishop hopes for the expulsion of tbe friarly orders, is that tbey have grown too pow rfu! for him and that ce wishes to strengthen himself. Several responsible Spaniards assured the correspondent that they would re ruse to remain here if Spain was re? instated in the control of the islands. Many of the Spanish soldiers refuse to serve again, and Spanish officers are utterly disgusted with the rotten? ness of Spain's government and pre fer to become American subjects. The annexationists have a majority of Tl is tbs national assenbly, but th? dis?ii?sioa^f the subject bas not been finished.

Daughter of The Confederacy. I Miss Winnie Davis Passed Away at Noon Sunday. - Narragansett Pier, Sept- 18.-Mies Winnie Davis, daughter of Mrs. Jef? ferson Davis, died at noon to day at che Rockingham hotel, to which place she came as a guest in the early part of the Pier's social season. She had been ill for several weeks, and a fortnight ago ber aiimeut was diagnosed as malarial gastritis. At times her condition be? came very serious, so that coosulations of physicians were deemed ceoessary, but frequent ralies pave renewed hope that she would ultimately recover During the passed week especially was her condition considered favorable and it was thought that ber removal from the hotel would be possible iu a few days, as the hotel has closed for the season, leaving the patient and attend ants pratioaily alone in the hotse. Last night, however, a relapse in Miss Davis7 condition was noticed, and through the night she lost strength perceptibly. This morning the physi? cians said that (be end was not far off, and at noon death came to end the suf? fering, whioh at times bad bee? intense. Mrs. Davis had watched unremittingly at her daughter's bedside and she is cow bowed with sorrow Mrs Davis is holding up with great calmness in ber affliction, and no fears are at present entertained of ber health yielding to the strain. Will They Come To-morrow ? No definite information concerning the leaving of the First regiment from Jacksonville, other than the telegram from Col. Tillman a few days ago, bas been received, and, hence, it is not pos itively known that the departure will j be made to-day. However, it most likely will, if the paymaster has visit I ed the regiment doring the past few j days, as that seems to be the eause of delay At a late hour last night Gov. El ierbe said that be bad no notification of the regiment's departure this morning and did not koow if it would actually leave at the time indicated in the tele? gram recently received. If, however, the regiment leaves to? day for Columbia, it will arrive here to-morrow. Tb? time of its arrival, of course, wi!l depend entirely on the hour of departure trom Jacksonville.-Tbe State. Required to Obey the Regulates. _ !' War Department Makes En? listed Men Observe the Law. Washington Sept. 19 -The follow? ing statement is given out at i be war department: The war department ts jost at-presect undergoing an expert* euee which illustrates the alacrity with which the average American citizen hastens to his senator or repreeentative in congress for aid in emergencies The cessation of b utilities and thc improbability of their renewal, with the dullness of eamp life, bas apparently created a feeling of restlessness among tho men of the volunteer army, who io tho majority of oases have given op positions of large compensation and mhoj of them are imploring their po? litical representatives to obtain their discharges, and tbe latter io tarn are flooding the war department with re? quests Tor prompt and immediate action. To such ao abuse of privilege has this grown that the war department has been obliged to osli attention to that paragraph of the army regulations which requires that all oom munica ttous from subordinates to superiors must piss through military channels, and to decline, as a rule, to entertain applications fer discharges of enlisted men, onless they oomc to it in the proper manner. A soldier who is desirous of secur? ing bis discharge and bas good and sufficient ressoce upon which to base it, will save himself a great amount of time and trouble if he will set forth the reasons for his discbarge io a letter addressed to the adjutant general of the army sod hand it to the captain of i his company, who in torn is required to forward it to the colonel of the regi? ment, and the latter to pass it along through brigade, division and crops headquarters with their recommenda? tion. Unless this is done, the depart ! ment will send the paper back to the ? company commander for his rt-c : ommeodation and that takes time which may be saved by followiog the proper rules. The department has also promul? gated another ruling in this connec? tion, wbioh is to tbe effect tbat public policy will not permit at this time the j consideration of applications for dis j charges of men serving in the Philip ! pine islands, Honolulu, Cuba, or Porto j Rico. The reasons are obvious. Aside from the question of transportation io volved, the necessity of supplying the places of men who are to be discharged with others from the States, it is to be remembered that the war is not over, and that much depeodsapoo tbe results and deliberations of the peace commis stoners who have sailed for Paris. i DIVIDING THE SPOILS. ! Tbe Lion's Share of Prize Money for Sampson. From the Sc. Louis Post-Dispatch. Rear Admiral Sampson will receive as prize money and bounty about $100,000. Rear Admiral Dewey will receive about $9,00.0. Rear Admiral Schley's share will be about $5,000 less than that of Borne of the captains in the navy, who were capturing prizes while Scaley was "bottled up" in Hampton Roads at the beginning of the war The seamen, including the "men behind the guns," will get from $30 to $200 or $300, according to their pay and the number of prizes cap? tured by their respective ships. The law provides that prize money shall be paid for every vessel, wheth? er warship or merchantman, that is captured, and that bounty shall be paid wherever a vessel is destroyed If the ship captured is larger than the captor the law gives the entire net proceeds of the prize to the cap tor. If it is smaller, one-half to the captor and one half to the United States The captors are entitled to $100 for every man on board the de stroyed ship at the time of the action. If the number aboard cannot be ac? curately got at, it is aeeumed that there were as many aboard as there would be on a similar ship of the United States navy. In dividing prize money and boun? ties the commanding officer of the fleet gets one twentieth of the whole sum. The commander of a squadron, under the commander in chief gets one fortieth Commanders of ships that make captures get one fifth of the sum awarded their ships. The rest of the money is divided among officers and men according to their pay. The three great profitable items in this war were the battle of Manila, toe battle of Santiago and the Cuban blockade Of these, the Cuban block ade was far and away the most profit able. There was never any danger ! in it, and it will net the American fleet under Sampson's command some? thing like $3,000.000. His share of this will be $75,000. Rear Admiral Dewey and bis offi cers and men will divide $178,400. There were, approximately, 1,784 men in the Spanish fleet On this basia Rear Admiral Dewey's share would be $8,920, and tthe six com mandera $2,973 each The bounty money for the battle off Santiago wiil be about $245,000 Rear Admiral Sampson's share of that will be about $12,000. Rear Admiral Scbley's share will not be more than $5,000 The commandera of the American ships in the action-Clark, Cook, Chadwick, Taylor, Evans. Phil? lipa and Wainwright-will each get about $4.000. Spanish Soldiers Ready For Shipment. PREPARATION FOR EVA? CUATION OP PORTO RICO COMPLETE. San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept 18 -The preparations for the embarka tion of the Spanish troops are report? ed to be complete, although the American commissioners have not been officially advised to thai effect. Two ships of the Compa??a trans Atiautica are expected to arrive here on the 26th inst Five Tesseis will be required to transport all the troops with their luggage, and the field ar? tillery and equipments. The Porto Rican troops are to be landed near Cadiz The United States commissioners have agreed that such troops as desire to remain here may do so, and practically all the volunteers and seme of the regulars whose families and interests are here, will remain. If the necessary ships were here the island would be evacuated and form? ally in our possession within three days. The American commissioners aie highly gratified with the spirit shown by the Spaniards. The unexpected has happened. Where it was thought that opposition and delay would be encountered none has been found. In good faith the Spanish commissioners have met the Ameri? cans and arranged with them the terms of evacuation. Cur commis? sioners expect to see the American flag hoisted and the Spanish flag hauled down forever within three weeks. Wheeler Will Resign. Camp Wickoff. M on tank Point, L. I., Sept. 19.-The question of sending Gee. Wheeler's cavalry brigade to Huntsville, Ala , hos caused numerous messages to be exchanged between Geo, Wheeler and the war department Geo.

SON. j Progress of Yellow Jack in the Mississippi Country. Jackson, Miae., Sept. 18.- A tele? gram was received to-day from In? spector Gant at Oxford : "Have decided there are two cases in the Jumper family here. Can you send some one to take charge 1' Wire me at Water Valley.99 Inspector Haralaon has been order? ed to Oxford to take charge. Inspec? tor Dunn goes to Winona Dr. Price of Raymond reports that he has a patient four miles southwest of that city who is suspiciously ill. Dr. Pumell will leave on a special engine to morrow morning to diag nose the case The patient lives about a mile from the county farm, where there were eight cases of yel? low fever during the epidemic last year. The investigation of the suspicious cases in Jackson continues and ali suspects so far have been discharged. The patient, Manley, is resting easy to-night, but shows symptoms of black vomit Each northbound train from the city carries a coach load of refugees. The Evening News has suspended publication. Dr. Murray declares that there is co yellow fever at Pontotoc. Inspector Gant inves? tigated Water Valley to-day, and wires that there is no fever in the place and that the person who origi? nally reported it should be prose? cuted No report has been received from Orwood, Taylor's Station or Waterford to day. The infection in LaFayette county has about run its course and most of the patients are convalescent. Sur? geon Carter, of the Marine Hospital service, asks the board of health to permit Mississippians who have been in New Orleans only a few days to return to the State without restric lion, providing they have not been in any infected part of the city. The board refused to grant the request. The general situation throughout Mississippi seems reassuring. Something m a Name. There has been general surprise at the suggestion of tbe Grand Army of the Republic that tbe phrase "War of the Rebellion" be stricken from school booka, and the name "The War Between the States" be substituted. Thia aotioo was not to be expeoted of the Grand Army for the reason that it has been the policy of that body, or of roost of ita spokesmen, to promote rath? er than allay sectional feeliog. If the Grand Aarmy has any right of exist? ence it was founded upon the theory that there should be such a perpetua? tion of the animosities of the war as should be needed to maintain a sent imeot in favor of liberal peseioos to survivors of the Federal army. It thus cam1? aboar. that the Grand Army was fairly regarded as a political body. Its demands in the name of the Federal soldiers who had "orushed the rebel? lion." were auch that no politician north of Mason and Dixon's line dared have an opinion adverse to ita claims. For most of the abuses tn the pension department, for every demand for uni? versal pensiona, the Grand Army bas been responsible. Its course bas been justified by its own spokesmen on the ground that due recognition must be given to the men who "crushed the re? bel hon." The recent proposition to use the phrase "the War Batween the States" in teaching children the history of rheir own country is significant of a feeling that promises well for the whole people of the United States. It is worthy of mention, that the Dame now accepted by the Grand Army is jost the name used by Alexander A. Stephens in bia book on the great strug? gle-"The War Batween Statea " Columbia Register. Havana, Sept. 10.-Preparations have been made by the American evac? uation commission to take immediate possession of the porta of Bahia Honda, west of Havana oo the north coast, and Juoarn, far east on the south coast. The Americans will now intro? duce food by way of Bahia HoDda and Jucaro, and distribute it under their own Mag. Next week the Spanish troops will begin to evaouate the porta referred to, and the Americans will take possession. The number of persons who will leave for Spain is plaoed at over 200, 000. These include 110,000 regular and irregular troops, the ciergy, civil employes and the families of officers. The Madrid government is al! tbe more willing io oooperate in bringing about the rapid evacuation of tbe is? land on acoount of the enormous ex peus-i of maintaining the troops here, where their presence is now unneces? sary. London, Sept. 20 -The Hong Kong correspondent ol The Daily Mail say* : "Toe Filipino oongrens bas favorably impressed the Europeaos who have j witnessed the proceedings, lr is De lieved that, its deliberations wiii result tu a pbtniou to President Mckinley to establish a protectorate. Good dewing Machines from $10 GO up at Randie's. PORTO RICO WILL COME VERY HIGH. The Army There Will Have to Be Increased to 15,000. - Washington, Sept J9.-It ha6 been decided that Major General Brooke sha'.i hold the place of rnili ! tary governor of Porto Rico as loDg j as a military government is necessary in the island. He will probably as? sume the duties of the office in about a month. The latest news fron, Schley and his commission is that it will be only a matter of a few weeks before the island will become the property of the United States under the terms of the protocol. The Porto Rican question is not an easy one for the President. He ex? pects to have a consultation to mor row with the acting secretary of war and General Miles as to the condi? tions which will arise when the Span? ish army shall have withdrawn. One of General Miles' 6taff said to? day that the government of the isl? and for perhaps a year would not only be a difficult, but an expensive matter "It is. of course/7 he said, "an easy undertaking to boid the inhabi? tants of the island, Spanish and native alike, but the policy which General Miles inaugurated was that of the cheapest and best and least government of a conquered people. From my own observation 1 am of the opinion that the feeling of hatred of the native for the Spaniard, which was intense when we arrived, has not abated to any great extent. There ie now danger of a conflict and I am afraid a spirit of mutual dis? trust and hated will be a constant menace to the peace of the island. I do not think the natives have yet risen to the occasion, although the generals in command are making strenuous efforts towards the restora? tion of peace and the unifying of the , two peoples. This government will cot drive out the Spaniard who bo comes an American citizen, and from the way things looked when we were there, the natives would have liked to make this condition precedent to American occupation. For its size and importance, Porto Rice is bound to be one of the expensive luxuries of the war. The 10,000 troops there must be reinforced to possibly 15, 000, and such number must be main? tained there even if Porto Rico be made a territory, or in any way be given American constitutional gov? ernment. It will be unique in this respect at least,; --?>-????? - Richmond, Va., Sept. 19.-A tele grana received here to night from Mrs. Jefferson Davis says the funeral of MisiVviocie will take place in this city on Friday, the exact hour not yet being decided upon. - ii i -- ' Candia, Island of Crete, Sept. 19.-Edbam Pasha, the Turkish gov? ernor, has just bad a proclamatioo published reading that by order of the sultan all arms must be surrendeded to the committee formed for that purpose.
