MANILA WILL FALL.


Philippine Captain General Notifies
Spanish Government.
The Spanish Government received dis
patch from the captain general of the
Philippine Islands in which he said that
the situation was very serious, almost des-
perate. Aguinaldo. the rebel leader, has
succeeded in raising the whole country.
The completeness of his plans is such that
on given day last week the entire prov
ince Of Cavite was suddenly placed under
arms and all the chief villages were occu-
pied by the rebels, fighting preceding the
occupation in many instances. A Spanish
column is guarding the Zapote river for
the purpose of preventing an invasion Of
Manila province, but it is not thought
probable that it will be able to keep back
the insurgents, who are pressing in from
all sides, coming from Bulucan, Morong
and Laguna.
Captain General Augusti concludes his
dispatch thus: THE capital will be be-
sieged by and and sea. l shall try to
resist to the last, but have no confidence
in the result. Numbers Of volunteers and
native soldiers are deserting TO the
rebels" Captain General Augusti con-
firms the statement that the rebels have
captured Bacor and linus. 1t is stated
that Gen. Augusti has taken refuge in the
walled part of Manila, where he intends
to make last stand in the event Of at
tack

An Invasion of the Island Has Been
Determined Upon.
The campaign against Porto Rico has
been determined upon. The expedition
which started from Tampa goes in two sec
tions. one to land on the north coast, not
far from San Juan, and the other on the
south coast at Ponce, which has fine
harbor and a military road connecting it
with San Juan. Ponce is about seventy
FIVE miles from San Juan. but this mill
tary road runs through the best portion
Of the Island, and troops marching that
way could clean out all Spanish garrisOns
found in the towns in the interior. They
could also gather up many insurgents TO
swell the army into formidable proper
tions by the time it reached San Juan.
1t is expected that such campaign will
destroy Spain's hold on Porto Rico COM
pletely by the time San Juan is lombard
ed by Sampson and compelled to surren-

JIMlNeZ is UNDER ARREST.

Great Britain Charges Him with Violating
Navigation Laws
The American steamer Saginaw of the
Clyde line has arrived at Cape Hatien,
Haiti. She touched at lnagua, where it
was learned that Senior Jiminez, the lead
er of the revolutionary expedition which
recently landed in Santo Domingo from
Haiti, on his arrival there from Monte
Cristi, Santo Domingo, was arrested by
the British authorities for a violation OF
the navigation laws In flying Clyde line
flag though the Fanita, the vessel in
which the expedition sailed, had been sold
BY the Clyde line company six months be-
fore. Chris Roberts, the pilot of the ex-
pedition, made a complaint on these
grounds. The American consul also pros
ecuted Senior Jiminez, alleging that the
expedition was Illegal, inasmuch as the
Fanita's papers were ostensibly for ser
vice in Cuban waters.

At last the alkaloid Of bacilli tuberculo-
sis, 1t is believed, has been discovered
DR.. Ernest 8. Pilsbury. instructor in bac-
teriology Of Cooper Medical College, San
Francisco, has been working on theory
for several years, and now feels that he
has accomplished something sure to pro-
duce results beneficial to the human race
He says: Il do not claim to have produc-
ed cure for consumption, but do claim
to have isolated the poison that produces
such deadly results. 1t may take me a
long time to find out the exact nature Of
the poison l have isolated, and, on the
other hand, l may do it in a few weeks.
After that to figure out an antidote should
not be such very difficult matter. Chem
ical laws are pretty well understood, and
wnen certain component Is known we
can always figure out what will neutralize
IL thorough tests may show that it Is
true consumption poison. This is the
method: The pure washed bacilli culture
is washed in water acidulated with hydro
chloric acid. 1t is then washed again in
pure redistilled alcohol and then filtered.
The filtrate is then distilled and the resi-
due dissolved In water and precipitated
with phosmolybdic acid. Again the pro-
duct is filtered and the residue broken up
with baryta water. The barium is then
precipitated with carbon dioxide. The
filtrate Is then evaporated and the residue
exhausted with alcohol, which gives the
alkaloid In comparatively pure state 1t
is now in the form of white crystals and
answers all the usual tests for alkaloids,
such as chloride Of gold and chloride Of
platinum, leaving no doubt but that it is
the pure alkaloid of bacilli tuberculosis.

1t has just been learned that one of the
passengers on board the Spanish steamer
Panama, which was taken as n prize and
brought to Key West some time ago and
condemned. was no less parsonage than
the son Of Balclassano Trompute, the
former consul general from Spain to New
York. The young Spaniard. who is
graduate Of military academy in Spain
and has spent considerable time in this
country while his father represented his
country at New York, has the rank Of
captain in the Spanish army. but as soon
as the Panama was captured he immedi-
ately assumed disguise and represented
himself simply as a passenger on board
the stea mer en- route TO Havana on COM
mercial business After being taken TO
Key West with the others of the vessels
passengers and crew he was released up
on the representations made, and it has
just been learned that he had succeeded in
reaching Cuba and joining the Spanish
army In Havana. After securing his re-
lease he made his way to Mexico, still
travelling IN disguise, which was an easy
matter, owing to his knowledge of the
English language, acquired during his
stay in New York. and from there made
another bold and successful break for the
island. So well did he conduct himself
In his assumed chara cter that he was not
once suspected. He Is now boasting over
his skill in eluding the vigilance Of the
Yankees, and has command of a company
for the defense Of Havana against an
attack from the United States. Captain
Halclassano is quite well known in New
ork and is about 26 years of age.

M'KINLEY's TERMS OF PEACE.
Will Demand Possession of Puerto
Rico, Manila and Cavite

Will Demand Possession of Puerto
Rico, Manila and Cavite.
The terms upon which the President is
now reported to be willing to negotiate
peace with Spain, and which are said to
be generally acceptable to the Senators
who must ratify the treaty before it can
have effect, include, aside from the es-
tablishment Of a stable and independent
government In Cuba, the possession Of
Porto Rico as a war indemnity and full
payment for all claims for damages by
American citizens against Spain, a naval
base in the Ladrone islands and one in
the Caroline islands.
The determination TO secure a naval
base and port in the Philippines means
that Cavite and Manila are to become
American possessions. Cavite is the only
naval base worth having in the islands
and Manila is the only port. 1t is con-
sidered to mean the control and poss~s
sion Of the entire island of Luzon, for
the control of the surrounding country is
regarded by the administration as essen
tial to the protection of Manila.
