Natives of the Philippines Do Not

Natives of the Philippines Do Not
Want Spanish Sovereignty Restored.
LONDON, July 29-Natives of the Philip
pine. islands and British subjects who have
interests there are alarmed by the reports
that the peace terms include the return of
those islands to Spain. AS result, they
have held a meeting here, and, after con-
sultation with the Philippines in France
and Belgium, have cabled to President Nc
Kinley and to Senator Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee. The mes
sage to Mr.. Mckinley is as follows: THE
Philippines resident in Europe pray you not
to abandon the Philippine islands for the
trust in the honor of America entitle us to
your consideration and support. To hand
over our country again to Spain is con-
trary to the humanitarian proceedings of
your noble Nation and the wishes of all
classes. Civilization, trade and order. all
will be lost if Spain's authority is re-estab-
lished in any form"
The message to Senator Davis says: "A
cast-iron agreement binding Spain to form
a government satisfactory to the inhab-
itants is preposterous. To retain her SOW
ereignty means deception, oppression and
hands, and pray you to induce the Presi-
dent and Senate not to abandon in the
hour of peace a people who, trusting in
American honor fight for their common in

telegraph Office at Ponce. which was closed
Monday by the Spaniards. Colonel Allen
leaves st. Thomas tonight with operators
and instruments, and it is expected that by
Saturday night General Miles will be in tele-
graphic communication with the War De-
partment The original plan as decided on
by the war authorities was for landing
of General Miles's expeditionary forces at
Fajardo, on the northeast corner of the
island. All arrangements were made by the
War Department on the basis of making
Fajardo the embarkation point and numer-
Gus important details attended to which
cannot be disclosed. All these had to be
abandoned in view of the landing effected at
Guanica, a point diagonally across the
island and far away from any possible cable
communication. The war balloons ordered
to Fajardo will be held at Tampa for the
present.
The results thus far achieved by General
Miles and Captain Higginson, in command
Porto Rico have created feeling of in
tense satisfaction among officials of tke
administration. Information received to-
day directly from General Miles and
through dispatches to the Associated Press
was very gratifying to the President and
his advisers 1t indicates, as one official ex-
pressed it, that Miles is cleaning uE every

NO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE.
Spain Prefers Dealing Directly with
the United States.

MADRID, July 29.-Referring to the pros
poets of peace, the Correspondents, an in
dependent semi-official newspaper says to-
day: while the government has asked for
peace without stpulating a preliminary sus-
pension of hostilities, it is supposed that an
armistice will be declared as soon as the
basis is agreed on and pending a definite
settlement. None of these bases has yet
been submitted, but among the conditions
mentioned is one relative to an international
conference in London to arrange the future
of the Philippine islands. We do not be-
leve the Americans will propose such a
conference because they have no interest in
doing so and could not derive any benefit
therefrom. Neither is the Spanish govern
ment favorable to such conference, con-
sidering that the negotiations which it has
opened directly with the United States are
better calculated to secure a good under
standing between the two countries"

views OF senator Davis.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, July Ex-senator Davis
said this evening, concerning the terms of
peace with Spain, particularly as TO the
Philippines: I'VE ought to have coaling
station there, and by coaling station do
not mean a heap of coal on dock. A coal
ing station means an American colony and
ship yards and dry docks. and that means a
sufficient number Of troops to maintain our
authority there
Senator Davis said that he did not antici-
pate any complications with foreign nations
over the Philippines. "A great deal has
been published about the alleged unfriendli-
ness of Germany" he said but there was
really nothing in it. Germany did seem a
little officious at one time, but more was
made of the incident than facts warranted"

DATE OF SPANISH PROPOSAL.
CambOn's Message Not Presented I'm
til z ~ m ON Tuesday


til u. IN. on Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-In diplomatic
quarters 1t is stated that the peace PROPOSE
tions took form in Madrid on Friday last,
and that not until then had the Spanish
Cabinet itself determined to risk a direct
proposition for peace. Before that day there
was doubtless more or less talk in the line
of peace proposition, but, as stated, it
was not finally agreed upon the govern
ment policy of Spain. On that day Duke
Almodovar de Rio, Spanish minister of for
eign affairs drafted the Spanish proposal
to this government and IL was formally
agreed that II should be presented direct to
President Mckinley, the French amba Ssador
at Washington acting as medium of COM
munication. The proposal was cabled to
Ambassador Cambon in cipher, but before
acting he advised with his government as
to its wishes. In the meantime the State
Department received no intlmation from the
ambassador that Spain was about to present
this peace proposition. The instructions
from Paris came last Monday night, too
late for the presentation of Spain's proposal
that day. On Tuesday the State Depart
ment was asked to arrange for call by the
ambassador on the President, and, this being
set for o'clock the proposal for peace for
the first time was made known to the
United States Until then there was not
even an intimation to this government that
the proposition was to be made. so that all
cognizance of SPANS purpose to sue for
peace dates from o'clock on Tuesday aft
ernoon. 1t may be said also that at no pre-
vious time had the French ambassador or
any representative of the French embassy
spoken on the subject of peace to any off,
cial of this government. The French gov
ernment had not and has not now, author
lied any peace overtures or inquiry relating
to peace, nor had the Spanish government
prior to the written communication of last
Friday reached the definite determination to
sue for peace.
With these facts established beyond ques-
ton, the statement attributed to Premier
Sagasta that I'VE tSpain) resolved on peace
many days ago and made known our resolu-
tions to the United States government" is
discredited with great positiveness in those
diplomatic quarters having the most intelli-
gent knowledge of the situation. The re-
port, it is pointed out, comes by the way of
London, which is regarded as furnishing a
reason for this indirect effort to prejudice
the negotiations.

SURRENDER OF PONCE.
Proclamation Issued by Miles TO the
People of Porto Rico.

HeOpIe Oh FOFtO AtIcOs
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Pressl
PORT OF PONCE, Porto Rico, via the
Island of ST. Thomas, d. w. l., July 2S--
The port of Ponce surrendered to Command
er C. II. Davis, of the auxiliary gunboat
Dixie, yesterday. There was no resistance,
and the Americans were welcomed with en-
thusiasm. Major General Miles arrived here
this morning at daylight with General
Ernst's brigade and Immediately started for
the town of Ponce three miles inland, which
capitulated this afternoon.
The American troops are pushing towards
the mountains and will join General Henry
with his brigade at Yauco. which has been
captured by our troops. A fight before the
latter place on Tuesday last was won by the
bushed eight companies of the sixth Massa-
chusetts and Sixth Illinois regiments, but
the enemy was repulsed and driven back a
mile to ridge, where the Spanish cavalry
charged and were routed by our infantry.
General Garretson led the fight with the
men from Illinois and Massachusetts,. and
the enemy retreated to Yauco. leaving four
dead on the field and several wounded. None
of our men was killed and only four wound-
ed slightly. The Porto Ricans are glad the
American troops have landed. and say they
arc all Americans and will join our army.
The roads are good for military purposes.
Our troops are healthy. and General Miles
says the campaign will be short and vigor-
Gus. General Miles has issued the following
proclamation:
In the prosecution of the war against the
King of Spain by the people of the United
States in the cause of liberty. justice ana
humanity, its military forces have come to
ceespy the Island of Porto Rico. They
come hearing the banners OF freedom in

mics OF our government ana of yours, and 10

THREATS AT TANGIER.
American Consul Guarded-Span rds
Still Afraid of Watson.

LONDON, July 29.-Mail advices received
here to-day from Tangier Morocco, say
that the threats of the Spanish residents
there caused the house OF Mr.. F. c. Pat
ridge, the retiring United States consul, to
be guarded before he left. and. in addition
his successor, Mr.. Samuel Gummers. was
escorted to the consulate, which is still
guarded by Moorish troops. One American
family which had been residing at Tangier
went to Europe, fearing violence. The con-
duct of the five thousand Spaniards gener-
ally has been calm, though there have been
a few threats to cut the cable in order to
prevent Commodore Watson from using it
and in order to interfere with the provi-
sioning of his squadron.

WANTS THE PHILIPPINES.
Spain VIII Not Consent to Surrender
Her Sovereignty Over the Islands.

SpaiH VIII NOT consent 10 surrender
Her Sovereignty Over the Islands.
WASHINGTON. July 29-It was stated
such manner as to give semi official char
acter to the expression, that if American
control or supervision of the Philippines
was an indispensable condition laid down
as the basis for peace negotiations it was
practically cei cain the Spanish government
would rot accede to this condition. but
would determine rather to continue the
war. As to the other peace conditions un-
derstood to have been decided by the Cabi-
net to-day, those who are best able to
judge the disposition of the Spanish gov
ernment feel that while these terms are
hard, yet they do not present any insur-
mountable barrier to the speedy restora-
ton of peace. and while there is no author
ity for saying Spain would accept these
terms and retire from Cuba and Porto Rico,
there is every indication that she would
yield rather than continue a disastrous war.
But the future of the Philippines appears
to be of as much concern to the Spanish
government as it is to the American Cabi-
net just now, and there is even greater in
sistence on the continuance of Spanish SOW
ereignty over this group than there is over
the more valuable islands of Cuba and
Porto Rico. 1t is said also that the failure
TO demand a money indemnity will be ap-
preciated by the Spanish authorities as an
act of noble generosity by the victors, and
that this will in part reconcile the govern
ment to compliance with the other terms
laid down

course than the retention of these islands
would be construed as a surrender to the
menaces of foreign powers: that we unhes-
itatingly demand the retention of these
islands, that the commerce of the Orient
may be shared in by our people without die

LONDON, July 29..-The weekly papers
credit the United States with desire to
deal generously with Spain. The Saturday
Review says: 1--WE are convinced that
America will not play the part of Shylock;
but, now that she has learned to appreciate
the bravery and fighting qualities of the
Spaniards, as we'll as the worthessness of
the Cuban rebels, she will make obvious
atonement for the precpitancy with which
she entered upon the war by dealing gen.
erously with her opponents
The Spectator takes a line quite unusual
in the English press, most strongly urging
the United States to assume direct control
of both Cuba and the Philippines. 1t i'm
plores the Washington government rather
to break an injudicious pledge to Congress
than to allow Cuba and the Philippines to be
Independent or to return to the cruel Span
ish dominion. Since it is equally mad
missible," says the Spectator, ito grant in
dependence or to transfer the Philippines to
any other power, it is best that the United
States should assume the heavy RESPONSE
blities involved which will serve to bring
out the best qualities of the American Ma
ton. England does not desire the Philip
pines; and, if she did, she would not take
them because she wishes to prove that her
sympathy for the United States is quite
disinterested."
The Spectator devotes another article to a
eulogy of the splendid and unexpected
manner in which Mr.. Mckinley has risen to
the requirements of a high and difficult po-
sition. The President has developed latent
talents showing him the possessor of many
of Lincolns great qualities. 1t would be
remarkable the Spectator continues, 'if
for the second time in a generation the
American system of really an elective mon
archy proves itself a strong system for
dealing with a dangerous crisis. Europe
may have been hasty in rejecting the very
idea of an elective monarchy as fatal alike

WE'RE DASHED DOWN
AN ELEVATOR SHAFT
VERY RAPID FLIGHT FRoL
THE THIRD STORY.
Samuel Gui1ford and L. Butterheld,
Two Workmen, Miraculously
Escape From a Dreadful
DEATH.

OAKLAND, Aug. 27.-F'red l., Butter
field and Samuel Guilford had thrilling
experience on a runaway elevator this
morning, miraculously escaping death.
The accident occurred in the new Tut
building, 51 Thirteenth street, where both
men were employed in moving z. K.
TUFTS business stock.
According to their story, they were
carrying three ladders up to the last floor
by the elevator. IS the elevator ap-
preached the top floor with it's burden and
the men were about to stop its upward
flight, the car suddenly started to drop.
There was nothing TO grasp but the hand
rope Mr. Butterheld made lunge for it,
but by this time the elevator was going
downward so rapidly that his hand was
severely burned, and he was compelled
to release his hold. Then the car dashed
down the three stories into the b6ae-
ment with noise that attracted the at
tention of ali other workmen about tie
place.
Guilford was lying on the floor of the
car stunned, his face bleeding. At the
Receiving Hospital he underwent the sc I
ting of several fractured bones and his
left great toe had &c. be amputated. But
terrified was more fortunate. His iniu-
ries were not so serious The former is
a married man, residing at 1872 Tenth
street. Both men are doing nicely and
their injuries are not considered fatal
An Investigation showed that the safety
pins that check the fall of the elevator
were defective. The elevator is old
hydraulic affair and was moved to the
new place from the former store.
