M. The cabinet met this evening, and al though the ministers upon coming from the meeting declared that the discussions had dealt with other than war Questions, the fact that the in structions to the governors general of Forto Rico and toe Philippines were immediately issued, indicates the sub jects considered.

Occupation of Manila Expected in a Pew Days Disposition of Spanish Prisoners Part of Volnnteer Porce to be Mastered Oat By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, Aug 13. The sudden transition from war to peace was re flected to-day in a complete dullness and stagnation through official quar ters. Instead of the bustle and activity which have prevailed for months through the corridors of the War and Navy Departments, there was a calmness not apparent since the raid summer vacation of last year. Moat of the officials went home early in the day, enjoying the first partial holiday since the war began. There will be a large amount of important detail to be I 1 -..A ll t . wurii uu irom tnis time iorwaro, a gradual reduction of the army and navy to a peace footing, the establish ment of temporary and permanent ad ministrations for our new colonial possessions, - the caring for the wounded and prisoners and the relief of the distress in Cuba The question of immediate attention is the ap pointment of the' peace com mission, which is to meet at Pans and of the military commis sions to meet at Havana and San Juan. The President conferred with' iSecre1 tary Day during the day relative to the peace commission, but it was said at the State Department late, that an announcement ot tne commissioners might be deferred for some days. It is understood that the President has not fully determined upon the Personnel of the Commission. Several of the public men who saw him to-day were satisfied that the com mission would be made up of Secre tary Day, Senators Allison and Gor man, either Joseph H. Choate or Ehhu Root of New York, and pro bably a prominent army officer. Gen eral Corbin is spoken of favorably in connection with the army appoint ment on the commission. The military commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rioo are not receiving any attention irom tne State Department, as the military authori ties will have entire charge of these branches of the peace settlement. During the day the State Department received a call from M. Thiebaut, secretary of the French embassy, for tne purpose of leaving a letter ex plaining the authority given by cable to the French ambassador to sign toe peace protocol. These assurances al ready had beeQ given verbally, but the letter gives them in a more definite form, and in the course of a few days the complete written authorization from Madrid will be filed with the State Department Many congratu lations kept coming to toe State De partment and to the White House on the re establishment of peace. Occupation of Manila. It is expected that the occupation of Manila under the terms of toe proto col will occur within the next few hours. It was thought at first that the Navy Department had a dispatch boat at Hong Kong, ready to carry forward the orders to Admiral Dewey and General Merritt but the depart ment learned to-day that there was no dispatch (boat at -Hong Kong, although one was likely to reach there to-day or to morrow. Meanwhile, it is possible that General Wild man may charter a steamer and send toe orders forward. He has general instructions as dispatch agent, and it was stated at the State Department to-day that these instruc tions govern the present case. Gen: eral Greely is satisfied no use can be made of the cable connecting Hong Kong with Manila as there are no operators at the Manila end. Matters for Consideration. Acting Secretary Allen said to-day that the matter of establishing coaling stations, the disposition of Admiral (Jervera and other Spanish prisoners, and like questions brought up by the peace settlement, would receive con sideration in due time, but that there was no immediate necessity for pass ing upon them. Preparations are making to receive the battleships and armored cruisers now under orders to come north. Dry docks Nos. 1 and 2 at New York navy yard are available for the cruisers New York and Brooklyn but not for the battleships. Dry dock No. 3 will receive the battleships, but will not be in condition before Sep tember 1st, as it has gone through a long period of repair. Capt. Bartlett, in charge of the auxiliary fleet is ar ranging to get these craft back into their old channels. The old single -turreted monitors will be returned to the League Island navy yard. Some of the auxiliaries are still needed to look after mine fields established along the coast. The War Department was busy all day with matters pertaining to the ces sation of hostilities. Secretary Alger consulted the President for some time, but when he returned he said that the military commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rico would not be an nounced to-day. There was no need of haste, he said, as By the terms of the protocol ten days were allowed for the selection of the commission. There has been some speculation as to who will be -commissioners and nearly all of the more prominent officers of the army have been canvassed, both vol unteer and regular. It seems to be generally conceded that General Lee will be one of the commissioners for Cuba on account of his knowledge of the conditions of the island. General Brooke and Gen eral Henry are mentioned as probable commissioners for Porto Rico. The subject of mustering out a part of The Volnnteer Forces ; has been considered and it is prob able the total force will be reduced to 100,000. This mustering out will not begin at once. 'Garrisons of both regular and volunteer soldiers will remain in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. Manila and Porto Rico will be gov erned through the military arm at present and probably the authority which the United States exerts in Cuba by the same- method. It is the understanding of the War Department that the Spanish soldiers in all places over which the United States exercises authority will be virtually prisoners of war and under the orders of the United States officers in command. The War Department is now exercis ing every effort in the direction of the care of the sick and wounded soldiers and is pushing forward the plans to make the troops more comfortable. tacKinley Will Take a Rest. x President McKinlev said to-day that i tha moral and physical strain of the I last few months had been severe upon i him, as upon all officials who had borne the weight of great responsi ! bility, and now that the war was over and the sufferings that war involves were at an end, his feeling was one of profound thankfulness. Work in con nection with the appointment of com missioners to negotiate a treaty of peace, the preparation of their in structions and other matters, he said, probably would necessitate his re- maming in nnsuuiKwu uuui some time in October, when fie hoped to be able to take a short rest The Work of the peace commission might occupy a month or so, and he hoped that in his next annual Thanksgiving proclama tion he would have the very great pleasure of announcing to the people toe fact that a treaty of peace had been signed. The Appointment of Commissioners. The termination of the war brincra before the State Department many far reaching subjects for determi nation. Probably the most important of these is the establishment of plans of government for the various posses- 1 T 11 TT J , , . Sions acquireu oy me united states, most m them permanent, and Manila temporary, with the chance of perma nency. There is the attending question of dealing with the people of toe ac quired territories. These larger ques tions are being considered with great care and deliberation, and there is not likely to be any haste in reaching con clusions. The matters of pressing im portance are the appointment of com missioners to arrange terms of peace at Paris and the military commission to meet at Havana and San Juan. It seems to be settled that Ambassa dor Hay, at London, is to succeed Secretary Day when the latter becomes chairman of the Peace Commission. The authority for this statement is un official but from a source which shows that sueh is the determination of .the President at present The indications are that secretary Day's resignation from the State Department will be in ana accepted wimin a weeK. It is understood that the President contemplates the appointment of Sec retary Day to a circuit judgeship after the work of the Peace Commission has been finished. ? Senator Davis, of Min nesota, will be offered -a place On the commission, but it is expected he will decline. The President desires to have Adjutant General H. C. Corbin, a member of the Peace Commission, and it if probable that he will be selected. U. S. DISTRICT COURT. Judge Brawley's Decision in the Case of the Preach Blockade Runner.

Key West, Fla., August 13. -Intelligence reached here to-day that the Spanish forces under Gen. Luque, in Ho4gum, have been ordered by Gen SalcedO to evacuate toe town..
