AM: RlCANS SURPRISED BY FlLIPlN0S' CUL
TURE AND EDUCATION.
People Wear Western Dress, and the Ladies are
Beautiful. Apparently Satisfied Un-
Agu naIdo's Government.

Manila, Nov. 23-Paymaster W. II
Wilcox and Naval Cadet l.. 5. Sargent
of the United States monitor Monad
mock, have returned here after a siS
weeks tour of the interior. They were
well received everywhere. Travelling
however, was most difficult. The Off
GERS reached the watershed of the Ric
Grande and Casayan. They say il
fertility is marvellous. Not Il yard oi
barren land was seen, the towns weT,
quiet and prosperous, the plains were
highly cultivated and the mountains
were splendidly 4timbcred. The river,
were mostly without bridges and are
almost impassable during the rainy sea
SON..
The native authorities refused to per
init travellers to go into the mountains
unescorted because the head hunters
annihiIate any party of less than twenty
rifles
Near Ilagan the natives mistoOk Mr..
Sargent for Spaniard and opened fire,
but nobody was hurt. Wilcox and Sar-
gent enjoyed three days festivities at
Ilagan. There were dinners, theatre
parties and ball in honor of the Ameri-
cans. who were immensely surprised at
the culture and education of the people.
The latter wear Western dress, and the
ladies are beautiful, entirely falsifylng
the anticipations of semi-sayagery.
The insurgent troops have everywhere
apparently settled down and there were
no signs of dissatisfaction with Agul-
naldo's government.
There are many Spanish soldiers and
friars in captivity, but no Sisters of
Charity were observed among the prls-
oners.
They sailed down splendid river to
Aparri. at the extreme north of the
island of Luzon, where they arrived on
November 9th, on board the insurgent
steamer Filipinos.
From there the apparently idle travel
ers took Il steamer to UslO, on the west
coast and landed and tramped through
the province of IlocOs. near the noun
tains inhabited by the Negritos, or black
aborigines. They saw none, but they
collected number Of interesting wea-
pons and implements. That part of the
country is apparently quiet, excepting
in the mountains. where state of prim-
tive savagery exists.

the Chinese government on the sub
joined points at an early date:
"First-The powers will not recognize
the restoration of the Regency, on 80

Emperor, which is not sufficient to JUS

'SecOnd-The work of reform started
by the Emperor must not be suspended,
not only in the interests of powers in the
East, but for the sake also of the main
tenance of the Chinese Empire.
'Third-It is contrary to principles of
humanity to visit capital punishment
upon political antagonists. and this prac-
ticc must be discontinued in future.
"Fourth-That the Chinese Govern
ment must take greater precautions to
prevent assaults by natives on foreign
residents in pekin in broad daylight,
"The British Minister is now conduct
ing negotiations with the ministers of
other powers on the subject, but no de-
cision has as yet been arrived at

SAVE THE NATIONAL CREDIT
An Appeal to All Spaniards to Furnisl
Assistance.

Madrid, Nov. 23--A semi-official
note, issued today, contains an appeal
to all Spaniards to furnish assistance
to save the nations credit ''if they dc
not wish foreign capital to be with
drawn from Spain
The note adds:
Some people believe Cuba ought to
assume her own debt, no matter in
whose hands is her sovereignty, be-
cause she herself possesses the security
therefor in the form of customs. If.
however. nobody will assume the debt.
Spain must pay what Cuba cannot, be-
cause Spain made herself responsible"
Continuing the note reads:
with respect to the debt of the
Philippine Islands Spain must await a
definite treaty of peace in order to know
what conditions America will impose
upon Spain through the Paris peace
commissioners.

Paris. November 23.-At the request of
the Spanish peace commissioners, there
will be no joint session to-day pending in
structions from Madrid. The date of
the next meeting is not fixed. The post
ponement of to-day is regarded as Il
hopeful signs that the treaty will be
signed. While the Madrid Government
has not yet received the text of the
American ultimatum, the Spanish Minis
ters received quite enough by tele-
graph on Monday night to enable them to
instruct their commissioners to retire,
were such their intentions.
The belief was confidently expressed
by several of the American commission
ers, in conversation with the correspOn-
dent of the Associated Press to-day, that
before the expiration of the time fixed by
the Americans, namely Monday next, the
Spaniards will acquiescc in the United
States, Philippine offer and that, ulti-
mately, the treaty will be signed by all
the Spanish commissioners. 1t is true
that the course which Senior MonterO
Rios. president of the Spanish commits
sion, will followis still uncertain, as he
continues to play to the gallery; but
Il leading member of the American com
mission believes he will sign with the
other SpauiarCis. In any ease, his place
on the commission will be speedily filed
probably by Senor Leon Castillo, the
Spanish Ambassador here.
Senior Montero Rios sent u cemmunica.
tion to the, American commissioners lasl
evening asking q number of questions.
The most important of these, and to get
an answer to which the letter was un-
doubtedly written, wastucked away in the
middle of the letter. 1t asked, in effect,
if the Americans really ment that the ul-
timation must be answered by Monday.
The Spaniards were assured that such
was the intent. and the answer has
cleared the air.
\ member of the Spanish commission to-
day assured the correspondent of the As
sociated Press that the next meeting of
the commissioners will take place on Fri
day or Saturday and that Spain's an
swer then will be the last she will make
and that it will be definite conclusion of
the matter to hand.
This utterance is looked upon as indi-
eating that Spain will sign the treaty of
peace.
