"A representative Of the Associated Press

to constantly add 10 her colonies possess
slons which may be thrown upon the mar

policy they think here should do much po-
tential damage to British interests and
every American utterance teno.ng to fore
shadow the open door policy has been
eagerly seized upon and manlhed by the
editorial writer's.
The speaker says:
"The government at washington is
credibly anxious to show to the world
that they do not desire mere aggrandize-
ment for their victory over Spain, and the
do not desire to shut out other nations
from the material advantages which they
derive themselves
The London office OF Philippine com
pany has received a letter from its agent
at Manila. dated October 49, In which the
agent says;
MANILA REBELS.
"The rebels are prepared already to re-
sist annexation. am in the cor hdence Of
their condolences and l assure you they
are quite prepared to retire to the hills
Il more than a protectorate IS attempted.
hope It win not come to warlike proceed
ings, for It would be a very J.. otracted af-
fair. The Americans would not find the
rebles as easy as the spaniards did, for
they formerly had only o rifles, while
the rebels now have $1,000 rifles and eigh-
ty cannon, including several Maxims."
The Minila correspondent adds:
americans are not allowed to pass the
rebel lines without passports a party Of
German officers who attempted to do so
without passports ere mistaken for Ameri-
cans and were refused permission. When
is was discovered they were Germans the
officers were permitted to proceed"
The manager of this Philippine company
who has spent years in the Philippine is
lands, does not attach any Importance to
the foregoing plans. lie says the Ameri-
cans could quickly subdue the natives. lie
also says the Americans have magnihed
the Importance and influence of Aguinaldo
throughout.
SPANS FINANCIAL SYSTEM.
There is report in commercial circles
that Spain viii reorginize her entire fnan-
cial system and re-adjust her bonded in
debtedness after the treaty Of peace is
signed. This report disturbs the bondhold-
ers Of Spain.
An English carlist positively asserts
that Don Carlos army will take the field
in Spain soon after the treaty Is signed.
lie declares that loan has been fully
financed, and that It IS divided equally be-
tween France and England ano he adds
that after the EnglisI capitalists were
shown the evidences on which Don Car
los chances of success are based, they Of
fered several times the amount asked. The
English carlists assert that much more
money would have been secured had It
no been for the fact that Don Carlos stip-
lated there should be no assistance from
the jews
Continuing, It was asserted that the Span
ish government has known lor some time
that Don Carlos possessed an army or
ganized into battalions and batteries, Of
hcered and largely armed, but the Spanish
ministers counted ON his failure to secure
funds, Therefore the Spanish government
is said to be panic stricken and to be en-
deavoring TO make the Spaniards believe
that Great Britain has agreed TO finance
Don Carlos. and that he, IN return, has
to cede the Canary islands TO
Great Britain IN the event OF success
