JEALOUS OF AMERICANS.
Consul General At Shanghai Says
Europeans Are so Inclined.

Minneapolis, Aug. 15.-John Good
lrCT, consul general at Shanghai,
China. in a private letter discusses the
expansion policy as follows:
we should hold the Philippine ISL
ands. the Caroline islands and the La
drone islands; also Cuba and Porto
Rico. 1t does not mater whether we
call them war indemnity or what. We
need them in our business. You have
no idea and cannot have, until you get
out here. where all nations are fight
ing for trade, what an intense jealousy
there is of the United States. Just now
the continental people seem more jeal-
GUS of us thar even of England. If
we are to have anything to say we must
have a navy; to have a navy we must
have coaling stations. That means the
Sandwich islands and the Philippines.
To handle Ii navy economically and
effectually we must Luild the Nicaragua
canal. In my opinion, We should buy a
strip of land across Nicaragua to build
Il canal in our Cwn territory. Look
on a map showing the routes Of full
power steam vessels and you will see
that every trade route to the isthmus
passes Cuba and Porto Rico. and a
strong country controlling these two
makes the canal at the isthmus a pri-
vate waterway whenever it wants to.
Also Cuba controls the Gulf of Mexico
and the water routes to the mouth OF
the Mississippi. 1t is a big program.
but | think we have got to do it. Eng
land controls absolutely one route to
the east of the Mediterranean and Suez
canal. Let us control the other route.

lean alliance rules the world. Not a
continental nation would dare oppose
us: for we could starve them out. We
are the people if we take our opportun-
tiles as they come along"

AT 6 o'clock the w%arships anchored
for the night. but the Newark continued
TO worry the Spaniards through the
darkness.
II was the intention To renew the
bCnbardment at sunrise today, but be-
fore firing began, Spaniards sent off
two officers in a small boat under a
flag of truce to announce to Captain
Goodrich that the peace protocol had
been signed. 1t turned out that a dis
patch TO Captain Goodrich from Cen
eral Greeley, chief of the signal SER
vice. had been received during the
night. The Spaniards tried to send it
off to the Newark at midnight. but the
boat containing the bearer oi the dis
patch was fired on and returned to the
shore as quietly as possible. As soon
as it was light enough this morning for
the Americans to see a flag of truce,
the message was again sent off.
The prettiest part of the engagement
was when the Hist. ~Suwanee. Osceola
and Alverdo were close in shore. wrap
ped in rolling smoke and blazing away
at the shore batteries. which spit fire.
1t looked as though the vessels would
never get out alive
There was a yell of rage on the New
ark at the supposed trick of the enemy
in hosting a white flag to coax the
ships within range of the batteries.
The shooting of the Spaniards was as
bad as usual, and no damage was done.
The Alverdo was troubled with poor
ammunition. 1t was all Spanish pow
der. being intended for the Spanish
guns that had beer mounted on the AL
verde.
The Newark's gunnery was excellent.
and but few of her shells were wasted.
Her green crew made a splendid show

been compelled to surrender if it had
not been for the cessation of hostilities.

TIMES SEES TROUBLE
Growing Strength of Uncle Sam Means
Expansion and War.

London. Aug. 15.-The Santiago cor
respondent of the Times, who acted as
interpreter for General Shafter during
the interviews preceding the surrend-
err of Santiago, describes fully the fight
ing and capitulation of the city and
criticises severely the tactical blunders
made, the opportunities missed and the
lack Of information of t he enemy's
movements displayed by both Span
iards and Americans.
The correspondent says the necessity
for the surrender of Santiago is no more
evident now than before.
The Times this morning in an editor,
ial article emphasizes the tremendous
lesson OF the importance of sea power
evinced in the war between Spain and
the United States. and says:
Nothing but a miracle, or cosmic
catastrophe could have averted an ul.
innate collision between the growing
sea power OF the United States and the
waning Spanish empire. Sea power ir

TROUBLE WITH CUBANS.
Display Attitude of Sullen Hostility
Towards the Americans.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. l5.-Trouble
with the Cubans is breeding. Their
attitude is one of suIlen hostility to-
ward the Americans. The better class
in Cuba favor annexation of the island
to the United States and the majority
CT the masses is ready and anxious to
work and accept the shelter IL pro-
lection afforded by an American pro-
tectorate, but they are Influenced by a
certain class of rabid orators and breed
ers of sedition and rebellion against
anything smacking of law and order.
This innamatory class demands and
urges the recognition of Cuba for the
Cubans. and spurns all offers or sug>
g~estions tending towards prosperity
under an American protectorate and
eXcites popular discomfort. This is en-
actly the class that pushes itself most
into evidence and whose views and
opinions are most overheard and pub
lished. Their advice to Cubans is to
repudiate all offers of peace or cessa-
ton of hostilities and look upon the
armistice as an agreement between the
United States and Spain on their own
account and not binding upon the free
and independent state of Cuba. whose
liberating army not only repudiates
pacification. but will ignore the armis-
tice to the point of continuing to wage
war and shooting every Spaniard in
the field.
A wild rumOr is afoat to the effect
that the Cuban army will attack Santi-
ago and capture it to the glory of the
Cuban army as soon as the American
garrison is weakened. This is direct
ly traceable to the same source. If the
Influence asserted by such a body of
men against law and order is formid-
able, while still in embryo. this SEN
timent is already felt among certain
classes who refuse to work or serve the
government until a clear statement of
the freedom and independence of their
country is made clear.
a knowledge of this condition is i'm
perative to a moulding of the future
policy and to explain whatever harsh
steps may be rendered necessary in
dealing with the insurgents.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Major General
Lee was at the war department early
today. He had a long talk whit Cen
eTal Colbin before the secretary arriv-
ed and then entered the secretary's
room and a discussion proceeded at
considerable length. devoted mainly to
the conditions in Cuba, although the
general told the secretary something
about his Cwn troops.

Ct discussing the administration of Gu

commissioners appointed under the
protocol, the views Of Secretary Alger
and President Mckinley will be made

advice as his residence in Cuba enables
him to give.

sion. and he replied that he did not
know: he was an officer and subject to
orders, but he could not tell what he
was going to do. He had been ordered
to Washington and probably in due
time would learn the reasons for such
orders. When his duty here was COM
pleted he had no doubt he would be
sent back to his command. or to some
point where he could be of more SER
vice.

Washington. Aug. 15.-The Informal
ton contained in Consul Wilman's
Ibrief message aroused intense interest.

officials who read it. For two or three
