Majority Expects to be Mastered Oat an'd Seat to Their Homes Another Review of the Army May Oeear Xotea of the Camp. Chickamai ga Chattanooga National Military Park, August 13. The men at Camp Thomas are now playing a waii ng game, none of the officials seeming to know exactly what is in store for them or thtlr men. The regiments ordered to' new camps have received no orders Indicating when they will away, and the men of "other regiments have almost ceased speculating on the disposition to be made of them. Meanwhile the regular work goes on, and all commands are being as steadily drilled as when the war began.

The news that peace had been deciarjed. was received at Camp Thomas' to day In various wutys. Some of the more enthusiastic arranged small demonstrations and celebrated the event. Others plainly manifested their regret that' they would see 'no active service after their long and tiresome training Here. The majority seems to be harborinz hopes that they win be mustered out and sent to their homes in the near future.

The health of the camp has materially Improved during the last few days. The main cause of the Improvement is believed to be the removal and re arrangement of regimental camps. Nearly all the commands have moved to new ground admirably adapted for camping purposes, and no two are as close together as under the old arrangement It Is probable that another general review of the army will occur before anj regiments are sent away. Many re quests for thf review have come to Gen. and it la believed he will act favorably! upon them.

SD. C. says:" Acting Secretary Allen, of the Navy Department, has received a dispatch notifying him that a naval force sent by Admiral. Sampson bad appeared in the harbor of Manxanlilo and de manded Its surrender. The commandant of the city declined to comply with the demand, and an engagement took which is said to have resulted victoriously for the Americans The fighting at Manxanlilo was begun at ciocx twenty three minutes before tne protocol was signed by a bombardment from the fleet.

It was reported last night that marines had been landed, but the dispatch received by General Greely, from the signal officer at Piaya del Este. made no such statement At the Nary Department it is said that the only vessels at Manxanlilo are some blockading ships, which could not nae conducted the operations described tn message received. It la said that Admiral Sampson la at Guantanamo, and that Captain Goodrich, with the Newark, Scorpion and Suwanee. is In the v.cinity of the Isle ot Pines, and that, therefore, neither of those officer could have had anything. to do with the engagement In view of the signing of the protocol and the suspension of hostilities, every effort, was made by the authorities to stop the fight at Manxanlilo.

A dispatch was sent by Adjutant Gen ml Corbln to Santiago, directing Gen. Shafter to ge into communication with Manxanlilo as soon as possible, and Inform the naval commanders there that hostilities were over. A dispatch was also sent by the Navy Department to Key West, to be for warded to Manxanlilo. and it. can be confidently stated that General Blanco has telegraphed to the commander at iuanzaniuo.

The Maaaaallio Report. Washington, D. C. August 13. Very Indefinite Information has been received regarding the engagement at Manxanlilo.

Dispatches were received at the White House last night stating that a naval bombardment waa In progress. Efforts were made at once by the War and Navy to get information to Man. zanlllo that the protocol had been signed. Assistant Secretary Allen sent a dis patch through Havana, to tho naval cort mander at Manxanlilo to cease host HI tics. There is an Impression at the War Department that no engagement took place at Manranillo.

and that the report waa the result' of misinformation somewhere. Advices have been received that Captain General Blanco succeeded In informing Manxanlilo of the vMation of hostilities. 1 IMMUNE TO SAIL Third Rearlmeat Expected to Get Away oa the Mlaaewaaka.

In which General Wheeler eays, referring to the newspa per reports concerning General Shafter: 'I think the criticisms upon General Shafter were very unjust. He has had a hard task and ha performed it successfully and welL Jie is a man of more than ordinary brain power and administrative I ability. The criticism that he did not place himself on the firing line is rkik ious. a on July 1 he was carrying on two fights at the same time one at Caney and one at San Juan. He had some re serves and had to place himself where he could see both fights and manage the whofcs affair, which he did efficiently.
