MAY BE MANUFACTURED
A AtDispatch which Doubtiess Has No
Foundation In Fact, but Made At
Washington.

WASHINGTON, August General
Merritt has again cabled the War De-
partment relative to the situation at
Manila, which he finds very unsatisfac-
tory and dangerous, owing to the atti-
tude of the Insurgents. In the opinion
of Genl. Merritt the attitude of the In
surgents there is similar to that assumed
by Garcia's Cnbans, upon the question
OF their right to possess themselves of
the city, although in this case the in
surgents are much more formidable
element, being not only much more
numerous, but better armed, and filled
with the arrogance following their nu-
merous victories. Genl. Merritt, how
ever, indicates that he will do his utmost
to protect the citizens from the savagery
of the Insurgents, though the task is o
delicate and difficult one, because of the
fact that he must, while fighting the
Spaniards. be ready at any moment to
repel the Insurgents. The General gave
notice that he is about to COM
bine with Admiral Dewey in a
JOINT demand for the surrender of the
city of Manila to the United States
forces, thus. s.forestalling the Insurgents.
The move may cause rupture. 1t is
possible in view of the fact Merritt's
cablegram was sent from Cavite, last
Thursday, that this movement has been
made already, by the combined Amer
ican military and naval force; although
there is some doubt ON recount of the
statement from Merritt that he may
need all his soldiers before attacking.
Still IL ia uossihle that tha demand
might be made without being imme-
diately followed by attack, which might
be deferred until all the troops reached
Cavite. Up to late report MERIT had
with him about 1900 soldiers. Secre-
tary Alger and Secretary Long are in
conference with the President over the
serious situation in the Philippines.
They have important dispatches from
General Merritt and Admiral Dewey,
but decline to state their exact nature.

Spain's Friend Evidently Trying t.
Smooth the Way to Easy Terms.

New YORK, Aug. la dispatch to
the World, from Paris, says: Henri
Brisson, Premier of France, said to the
World correspondent: The course of
the United States throughout the war
with Spain has been noble. 1t has
been revelation to Europe. In my
opinion when the American conditions
of peace are known the world will be
astonished l expect the United States
will take pride in showing greater
moderation than any old world powers
would display under similar circum-
stances. Europe has no right whatever
to meddle in the negotiations. Ny
government at least will not attempt to
dictate what the United States shall
demand.
The World correspondent learns from
the French foreign ministry that
Americas reply to Spain's approaches
must pass through the hands of the
French Minister Of Foreign affairs, who
will forward it to Madrid, but the
reply is not expected before Tuesday.
The World correspondent learns further
that an armistice is expected but not
until there is a reasonable prospect of
the successful issue of peace negotia-

WASHINGTON, August General
