Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief, is

He has made two propositions to

In the first place. he asks the com

forces to permit the rebel troops to
march through the streets of Manila
when the city surrenders.
Gen. Merritt appears inclined to con-

ROOSEVELT TO ALGER.
Interesting Correspondence between the
Colonel of the Rough Riders and
the Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The following
correspondence has passed between
Col. Roosevelt and Secretary Alger:
SANTIAGO, July 2S. 1s9S.
My Dear Mr. Secretary:
I am writing with the knowledge
and approval of Gen. Wheeler.
We earnestly hope that you will
send us-most of the regulars, and at
any rate the cavalry division, includ-
ing the Rough Riders, who are
as good as any regulars, and
three times as good as any
state troops, to Porto Rico. There
are 1880 effective men in this division;
if those who were left behind were
joined to them, we could land at Porto
Rico in this cavalry division, close to
1000 men, who would be worth easily
any 1000 national guards armed with
black powder Springfelds or other
archaic weapons.
Very respectfully,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
The following reply was cabled to
Col Roosevelt Thursday:
Your letter of the esd is received.
The regular army, the volunteer army
and the rough riders have done well,
but suggest that unless you want to
spoil the effects and glory of your VIC
tory, you make no invidious compari-
sons. The rough riders are no better
than other volunteers. They had an
advantage in their arms, for which
they ought to be very grateful
T. a. ALGER, Secretary of War.

Reports Of additional shipping engage
ments for Letter wheat and an eNcep-

principal factors in 4 buying movement
which had advanced wheat about a cent
at TIL" closr. Corn closed l2c. higher and
oats 3sHi4c. higher. Provisions hrsitatel
for time, but finally joined tho process
sion and closed 2l2@1iac. higher.
1t is positively stated that contracts for
moving l.5000oa bushels of Letter wheat
to the 9caboard have been made. OF this
the Grand Trunk is reported to have Sc
cured 200 bushels. the Nickel Plate
800 300 bushels and the Lrhigh Valley In0,-
900 husn"lS. The cereal will be- carried on

The Chronicle says II is estimated
that the Letter holdings of wheat in this

AMERICAN TRADE IN GERMANY.

Much for Our Fruits.
