Cleveland. Ohio. June 10-Dr. Joseph F
! Chan, Chinese physician. a highly educa-
ted and naturalized citizen residing here
has conceived novel plan for rendering
assistance to the United States In driving
the Spaniards from che Philippine Islands
and has offered his services to the govern
ment to aid in carrying out the plan.
DR.. Chan promises to enlist in the
United States regular army, or TO receive
an appointment as surgeon. He Will ask
for authority 10 enlist party OF about
200 Of his fellow-countrymen in San Fran
cisco and take them 10 the Philippines
ana do commissary work among the Chi
nese residents of that country. Dr. Chan
says that of the 1000. 900 inhabitants OF the
Philippines 100000 are Chinese. They
were taking no part IN the insurerction
against the Spaniards. but were strongly
opposed 10 Spanish rule. He says that
che Chinese in the Philippines are almost
entirely ignorant Of the United States. but
If he can go over there he would influence
them TO become in favor of the govern
ment Of the islands under the control Of
the United States and would organize a
large army OF Cinnamon to fight under
Che stars and stripes and to become allies
in the army of invasion. The doctor is
IN correspondence with Governor Bushnell
and the war department at Washington
in reference 70 his plan.
San Francisco, June 10.-When shown
the Associated Press dispatch from Cleve-
land regarding DIR. Joseph F. Chan's pro-
posed expedition TO the Philippines for the
purpose Of doing missionary work among
the 100000 Chinese inhabitants of the
Islands. favorable to the American cause,
the Chinese consul general in this city
said that he had heard nothing OF the
proposed plan. but thought that such
scheme was feasible. He said that the
educated Chinese residents of the Philip
pines were friendly toward the United
States and that the masses might easily
be made to look upon this country as
friendly power. The consul knows moth
ing of DR.. Chan personally.
The consul general also expressed the
opinion that the reported sale of three
fighting ships by the Chinese government
to Spain was hoax. He said that his
country had signed a decree of neutrality
and would not violate its provisions. He
said that his government only had few
good vessels and that it would hold them
for its own use

Trying TO BLUFF UNCLE SAM

Seattle, Wash, June 10.-The owners OF
the steamer Centennial, which has been
obtained by the government at a trans
port for Manila, are not disposed to accept
the decision of the examining board at
San Francisco. They telegraphed Assist
ant Secretary of War Meiklejohn that the
claim OF the vessels unseaworthiness can
not be supported If a dry dock examina-
ton is had. They propose such an exam
ination by a committee of three, they to
select one, the department another and
these two the third member Of the COM
mittee. Unless the government agrees to
re-inspection, it is likely that a suit will
be commenced against the government for
the charter money.

has been handsomely paid in gold for the

Admiral Camara and his reserve
squadron are still in Cadiz, waiting
The report about being three powerful
armored cruisers from China is proposter-
Gus, for two reasons. In the first place,
China could not sell warshfps to Spain,
for that would be a breach of neutrality.
Secondly, China has no such vessels.
Since her misunderstanding with Japan,
China's navy has been of no account.
