The Natives want n Peaceful Gov
ernment and TO he Let Alone.
Manila, July o. via Hong Kong, July 30.
Conversation with considerable number
of natives has failed TO disclose the ex-
istence of perceptible anti-American feel
ing among the Philippines.
These people are apparently satisfied to
accept annexation TO the United States.
The principal desire is for a peaceful ex-
isteuce with minimum of trouble.
They, however, earnestly wish the aboll-
ton of oppression incident TO Spanish Off
clal rapacity and the tyranny of the re-
ligious bodies. The natives have no OBJ
lection to the church, apart from the or
ders of friars.
The Philippines are scarcely interested
in any particular form Of government, but
only desire to be left alone.
The rebels, who recently captured Caloo-
can, shelled tho Spanish bloclxhouse at
Maipago, where after having smashed the
Spanish cannon, they stormed the place
and bayoneted twenty Spaniards.
German officials here explain that the
landing OF food at Manila recently was
merely a trif1e and was for the relief of
German residents. 1t has now been de-
cided TO discontinue this mode of aiding
the subjects of Germany al Manila.

Hong Kong, July 30.-Letters received
here from Cavite, under date of July 26,
state that the insurgents have done moth
ing since their second repulse at Malate,
when the American troops were held IN
der arms through fear of an attack by the
Spaniards.
There are now 4,S0O American soldiers
within an hour of Manila, near 'Malate.
Their camp is protected by trenches cnd
guns, and is covered by the guns of the
cruiser Boston and the Callao from the
sea-
The American transports, il is said will
start on their return to San Francisco in
a few days. There is no sickness among
the troops.
1t is believed that Governor General Au-
gusti will surrender, owing to the fact
that Admiral Camaras squadron has re-
turned to Spain, but the army officers de-
sire to resist to the last, and there is a
prospect that peace would be concluded
prior to the capture of Manila by the
Americans.
About a dozen small Spanish steamers
have passed out recently under the insur-
gent flag, ostensibly to go to Gen. Agui-
naldo, but the suspicious of the Americans
are now aroused and no more of these
craft will be allowed to proceed.

Special Paris Letter Copyright, 1898, by

Paris, July S0.-There is a strong desire
In French officials circles TO bring about a
complete resumption of the pleasant rela-
tions with the United States which exis-
ted previous to the trouble between Spain
and America, and which were disturbed
by French newspaper utterances.
It Is pointed out that the nearer the
Spanish-American war comes to a close.
the clearer 1t is to sober-minded French
men that public opinion In America has
been mistaken in regard to the real opin-
ion and feeling of France toward the
United States.

London, July SO.--A dispatch to Lloyd's,
dated Manila, July q, says that the Uni
ted States transport Newport, with Maj.
GEN Wesley Merritt on board, arrived
there yesterday. All were well on board.
Nothing decisive has transpired as yet,
but it is expected that operations against
the Spaniards will commence in a few
days.
Manila, July 26, via Hong Kong, July So
Gen. Merritt assumed command of the
American forces Immediately after he had
reported to Admiral Dewey. He has estab,
lished headquarters at the Cavite arsenal.
The Newport was escorted to an anchor
age near the cruiser Charleston by the
gunboat Concord, the crews of the vessels
of the American fleet giving her a rousins
welcome.
At the close of his official visit to the
Olympia, Admiral Dewey's flagship, Gen.
Merritt was officially recognized by a sa-
lutte of 18 guns
Until he shall have received the reports
of the officers who preceded him and ia
miliarized himself with the situation, Gen.
Merritt cannot determine as to his future
course.
The remaining transports are expected
to arrive tomorrow. The fleet saw nothing
of the monitor Monterey and the collles
Brutus, and it is supposed that the monitor
is coaling at Guam island.
The troops encamped at Paranajo have
not yet made a move, the condition of the
country between the camp and the out
skirts of Manila being such, on account
of the heavy rains, as to make it impos-
sible to advance.
The insurgents are still active, but are
accomplishing nothing.
