Is the Race for Supremacy Between
Russia and England.
Vancouver. BE-, Sept. 24.-There are
rumors of British and Japanses con-
cessions on the Island of Nantal at
Foo-chow. One of the members of the
crew of H. NJ. s. Linnet has been max
ing survey in the neighborhood, it
is thought. for the information Of Sir
Claude Macdonald.
News comes from w-chwang that
the Russians have been acquiring large
tracts of land in that vicinity to make
capital out of the proposed British rail-
way enterprise in that region, as it
seems that the land on the proposed
route of the Russian railway has been
purchased by the British, who demand
sXorbitant prices.
The Russians. by way of checkmat-
ing their rivals. have commenced build
ng on the North of New-chwang with
out the formality of purchasing or leas-
ing the land, practically grabbing what
they required. BY these means they
would hold the whip hand over the
railway in Eastern China, which is to
run from Petuna to Port Arthur via
Kirin, Youdkin and Matching, with
a branch from Port Arthur to New
:hWang.

Washington, Sept. 24.-It ise stated
mat the war department has received
no detailed reports or any information
from the Cuban military commission
at Havana. In reply to the question
as to whether there was any DISPOSE
ton to accede to the request of the
Spaniards for postponelnent of the
evacuation Of Cuba until some time
next spring, the statement was made
that no delay would be considered:
that the evacuation must proceed with
expedition, sand that the troops of the
United States were now being put in
readiness for the occupation of Cuba.
and would be sent there. No definite
date has been fixed for their departure.
Official dispatches received by one
of the embassies here from Havana
confirm the reports that the colonial
government Of the island is taking a
hand in shaping the terms on which
the evacuation shall be executed.
This, it is believed here, may de-
velop some new phases in the situa-
ton in Cuba.
The colonial, or autonomist, admin
istration is very thoroughly organized
and can exert much influence. 1t es-
established a regular legation in Wash
1ngton prior to the war. with several
prominent public men Of Havana on
the staff. 1t numbers in it's ranks
much Of the wealth Of Cuba and
claims to stand for the educated
classes against the insurgents and
illiterates. This makes two distinct
Cuban classes: The autonomists, who
are cooperating with Spain, and the
insurgents, who are opposed to Spain.
The opinion was expressed by
high diplomatic officer, based on recent
advices from Havana, that a serious
issue would be averted and that the
actual evacuation Of the Spanish
troops from Cuba would begin within
the next month. But it appears that
the evacuation will cover a much
longer time than has been anticipated.
There are some 100000 Spanish troops
in the island. Allowing 1000 men on
q transport, and a vessel leaving every
day for 100 consecutive days, so that
the time for departure would probably
far exceed six months.

San Francisco, Sept. 24.-The United
States transport China arrived from
Manila via Hongkong. Nasaski and
Kobe. She brought with her as pas
sengers several distinguished military
and naval men, besides several noted
journalists and two representatives
Of the provisional government Of the
Philippines, who are ell route to Wash
ington to plead With President Nc
Kinley for the independence of the
island, after which they will probably
proceed to Paris to appear before the
peace commission.
The Filipinos are PHILIPPE Aguincillo
and Jose Gonzolo, the former be-
. ing Aguinaldo's chief emissary. In
an interview with an Associated Press
correspondent he said the insurgents
fully expected to be allowed to govern
themselves. and limited that some sort
of an agreement had been made with
United States Consul Wildman re-
garding the outcome of the war. made
by the insurgents against Spain, but
what the outcome of the terms were
Aguincillo would not state. He had
received instructions from Aguinaldo
by cable, but refused, automatically,
to give any intimation or hint of any
he had already received. The Fill
pinos were intelligent and spoke Eng
fish fuently.
Agreement With Wildman.
A passenger Oh the China disclosed
some further information regarding
the agreement between Wildman and
the insurgents. He said that Wildman
promised Aguinaldo that the American
forces would combine with the insur-
gents for the purpose Of driving the
Spanish out Of the Philippines. 1t was
q joint war, and think that the insur-
gents understood that the Americans
were to aid them to gain their indie
rendence and cast off the yoke of
Spain.
Aguincillo lived in the same resi-
dence as Consul General Wildman for
two years. 1t is certain there is some
complication in the matter of Consul
General Wildman's promises, which
were probably misunderstood by the
insurgents. 1t is also probable that
the insurgent generals commissioners
are bent on q mission of independence
for the group.
Brig. Gen. Green and staff arrived
On the China. Speaking Of the con-
duct Of the soldiers during the battle,
Gen. Green said the volunteers fought
and acted like regulars, and that he
was proud of them. After the first
onslaught they were as cool as could
be, and prepared for anything. The
fire of the Americans was particularly
deadly at all times. Gen. Green left
for Washington at once.

It seems that when the government
grants sick soldier a furlough it
makes no provision to see that he gets
home. AS consequence, during the
last few weeks, sick and hungry SOL

OF Iowa volunteers, sick and emaciated
passed Through Chicago the other day
and many of them went their way hun

does not imply that the people are un-
