,E1MAN's MANIFESTO


LONDON, Aug. la dispatch to the Times
from Buenos Ayres states that President
Celman has issued manifesto to the peo-
pie of the Argentine Republic. After
speaking of the demand for his resignation
which was made by the leaders of the revo-
lutionary movement, the president refers
to the prosperity and liberty the country
enjoys under his rule. He ignores the
gravity of the occasion and what his own
journal terms the "horrors OF recent events
in Buenos Ayres,"
The manifesto attributes the sole cause
of the instruction to the insensate amblnon
of a local party in Buenos Ayres which 1t
says wished to impose itself upon the entire
republic, while prosperity, peace ana Sc
curity are represented by the Celman gov
eminent.
Even Celman's own party, the dispatch
says, is aghast at the presidents callous-
ness and his incomprehensible ana vain
ignorance of the real gravity OF the situa-
ton. The manifesto concludes with an ex-
preston of the eternal gratitude to the sup
porters of the presidents authority, and
adds that a patriotic people blesses them as
the saviors of the government

the British Charge d Affaires at st. Peters-
burg and quoted in the house OF commons
last night, that the Russian government
| had not altered its treatment Of the Jews, is
wholly al variance with all other advices
| on the subject. Letters received here from
| Moscow and st. Petersburg mention that
| the laws against the Hebrews are being en-
forced with renewed severity and are being
stretched to cover line of treatment never
before supposed to have been contemplated
| by the legislation referred to. Large num-
beers of Jews who lived near the German
| and Austrian frontiers have been compelled
to move further within Prussian territory,
the pretext b ing that many of them were
engaged in smuggling, and Jews residing in
the country have been obliged TO leave
their homes and settle in villages. The
ignorant peasantry taking advantage of the
prejudice shown by the authorities plumber
the Jews at will.
Letters from South America represent
that the Chilians scorn the idea OF extend
ing any trade advantage to the un,ted
States They claim their copper produc-
ing industry was greatly injured by the
American tariff, and that the United
States has no such claim upon their good
will as England, which admits their prod
ucts free. A similar feeling toward the
United States is said to be prevalent in
the Argentine, and the English spare no
