AGUlNALDO NOW TRACTABLE


Cavite, July u, by way of Hong Kong,
August ll.-Aa uinaldo, the insurgent chief,
is. becoming more friendly to the Ameri-
cans.
In the first place he asks Gen. Merritt
to permit the 1t bel troops to march through
the streets of Manila whe? :he city sur
renders.
Gen. Merritt appears inclined to consent
to this. 1t would crafty the vanity OF the
natives to let them indulge in what will
seem triumphal march as victors through
the capital OF the enemy. At lie same
time the native troops being thus in line
and under direct orders, may be more
easily controlled and prevented from
excesses.
In the second place Aguinado suggests
the formation of Philippine regiments with
American officers.
This is considered an important propo-
sltlon, possible key to the whole situation
throughout all the islands. 1t is believed
they would be obedient and easily con-
trolled under tactful commanders.
American troops now occupy the trenches
in front of Malate, a suburb of Manila,
which were constructed by Aguinaldo
The Astor Battery, supported by bat
tallon of the Third Infantry, is now in
position at the front, its guns being planted
within thousand yards OF the Spanish
lines.
Fathers Doughtery and McKinnon, the
former being on Gen. Merrtt's staff have
gone to Manila to interview Archbishop
Nozaleda, of the Archdiocese of the Philip
pines, and TO point out 10 him the futility
of resistance to The American troops.

COMING YACHT RACE,
Sir Thomas Lipton's Hoat Will Meet o New
Craft to he Built by the HeIreshofis.

Craft to be Built by the HeIreshofis.
London, August 11-Sir Thomas Upton,
challenger for the Americas cup, has
instructed Dilliam Fife, of Fairlie to
design yacht to be built by Harland
& Wolff, the great shipbuiiders of Bel
fast.
The Yacht Racing Association meets
this week, when deputation from the
Ulster Yacht club will attend and set
tie all the matters connected with the
challenge, so far as this side of the
water is concerned. Secretary Kelly
of the Ulster Yacht club, will accom-
pany Mr.. Charles Russell, Sir Thomas
lipton's representative, to New York,
should the challenge be accepted by
the New York Yacht club.
That Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge
for the Americas Cup will be accept
ed is a foregone conclusion and it is
equally certain that n new American
yacht will be built to meet her. G.
Oliver 1selin, who was managing OWL
er in the Defender during the last in.
ternational races, said mt his home. on
Premium Point, New Rochelle, that,
although the Defender was believed to
be the fastest single sticker in the
world at the present time, the New
York Yacht club would not take any
chances of her being outbuilt by any
of the British designers.
"The lines of new 90footer, guar
anteed to defeat the Defender by a
comfortable margin. are already com
pleted by Nat IIerreshoff," said Mr..
Iselin. "Nothing, of course, has been
done in the way of laying her down as
yet, for until the present time we have
had little cause to expect Il challenge.
We will be ready, however, when il
comes in due form.
"The boat will embody some new
features, but what they are | am not
at liberty to state at present. The
Defender might be good enough to
win, of course, but we do not care to
take any chances, which we would as
suredly be doing by neglecting to con
struct n new craft. 1t must be borne
in mind that the Defender, when IN
dry dock three years ago at Erie Ba.
sin, was photographed from number
less points of view, and when it Is re
called that her dimensions have beer
published minutely by the press OIL
both sides of the Atlantic. it is easily
deduced that any intelligent naval ar
chitect would be able to abstract hel
entire model, and with no great effor
build counterpart of her.
This, of course, cannot be avoided
now, and the only way out of the di
lemma is to build new and faster
boat. Such II model is now in til,
hands of the Herreshoffs. You mus
excuse me saying anything more n
present on the subject. l cannot sal
what material will be used in her con
struction, nor whether it will be n syn
dicate or an individual that will owl
her"
