The gentlemen left Shanghai about u
month ago, travelling across the Pacific
via the San Francisco route. They were
on the same steamer which brought
Queen I.iliOUkalani to America, and saw
considerable of her royal highness on the
journey. They stated last evening that
very little was learned during the pas
sage concerning the eX-queen's plans, but
that one rumor that circulated about the
vessel was that she was going to Wash
tngton to have an interview with Presi-
dent Cleveland, and another was that she
was IN route 10 England TO be present
a the Goth anniversary of the coronation
Of Queen Victoria.
Mr. Little. IN speaking of business con-
ditions in Shanghai, said that the late
war had a good effect on the country
generally, and Shanghai ia particular as
regards the development of business en-
terprdses He said that Shanghai was
making rapid progress in this line.
AIR Whitehead has been for long time
engaged in making researches in the
Philippine Islands Tor European natu-
ralisJs' society, and was there when the
insurrection broke out. He preferred not
10 speak of his work. but of the political
surgents nor the Spaniartis appeared to
be doing anything in an active way when
ne left Neither did either side appear
TO have any especial advantage over the
other. The Spanish. ne said. have sent
to Spain for troops, and expect 10 make
an active campaign upon their arrival.
The Spanish hold the cities ana the in
suTgents the greater part OF the prov
inces outside According TO his statement
the latter are very brutal. and are com
hitting many outraees. 1t is dangerous
for any person not strictly in sympathy
with them 10 venture out into the prov
inces for fear of being murdered. A
number of such instances, he said, have
transp3red. The gentlemen are on their
way to Europe.
