THE GERMANS AT MANILA.
The Conduct of the German AdmtraA
Causes Uneasiness

Chicago, Aug. THE special CORES
pondent of the InterOcean with AdmiraI
Dewey's fleet off Manila. writing under
date of July /, says:
There is some feeling of uneasiness
here as to the intentions of the powerful
German squadron that has been conferred
here. 1t now contains practically the full
strength of the kaiser's fleet on the Ash
attic station, but the assurances that its
size would be quickly reduced have not
been fulfilled. 1t now seems certain that
the Germans are playing some deep game,
either aimed ut the seizure of one OF the
group or an armed protest against bonn
bardment.
Several incidents have tended to in
crease this feeling. Two nights ago Vice
Admiral Won Diedrichs was indiscreet
enough to send launch alongside Of the
flagship Olympia. 1t was very dark, and
her crew failed to observe the sentry's
challenge, and several rifle balls were sent
whistling over her awning. She very
promptly hove to and showed light
The Germans wanted permission to send
the cruiser Irene down to Mariveles that
night, and when their request was pre-
sented to Admiml Dewey he readily
granted it. The boarding party was re-
minded that it was time of war, and
that all craft that approached the feet
at night and either failed to stop and
show a light or give the countersign were
fired upon.
The German officers accepted the ex-

oyerhauled the cruiser Irene outside. She
was very slow about stopping her en-
gines and later in Mariveles bay her Of
ficers were displeased when the McCul-
loch ran across her bow.
| Admiral Won Diedrichs continues to de-
clare he was ordered here merely to look
after German interests. His officers have
fraternized considerably with the Spanish
officers on shore and have made merry 1T
dinner and dance. One Of their func-
tions is said, however, to have ended un-
pleasantly. 1t was a banquet, and over
their cups all sorts Of goodfellowship was
pledged. Finally one OF the German Of
icers animated that the kaiser would
like few of the Philippine islands. His
lintimation was ct once resented with
spirit by the partially intoxicated but
still proud Spaniards.

ALGER REBUKES ROOSEVELT
Snappy CabIegram 10 the Distin-
guished Rough Rider.

The following correspondence has
passed between Colonel Roosevelt and
Secretary Alger:
Santiago de Cuba-My Dear Secre-
tary: | am writing with the knowledge
and approval of General Wheeler We
earnestly hope that you will send us
most of the regulars and at any rate the
cavalry division, including the Rough
Riders, who are as good as any regulars
and three times as good as any state
troops-to Puerto Rico. There are 1900
effective men in this division and if those
who are left behind were joined to them
we could land at Puerto Rico in this
cavalry division close to 1000 men who
would be worth easily 10000 national
guards armed with black powder Spring.
fields or other achaic weapons. Very re-
spectfully. THEO. ROOSEVELT"
The following reply was cabled:
"Your letter of the 32d received. The
regular army, the volunteer army and
the Rough Riders have done we'll, bu
l suggest that unless you want to spoi
the effects and glory of your victory yot
make no inyidious comparisons. Thu
Rough Riders are no better than othe
volunteers. They had an advantage il
their arms for which they ought to b.
very grateful.

Is IN FAVOR OF THE CANAL
MORGAN SAYS IT IS NECESSARY
senator Morgan Thinks the Near
aqua Canal Will Be Built by
American M0ney-The Next Ses-
sion of Congress May Pass the
Bill.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-The Hawaiian
commission made up of Senators Cullom
and Morgan and Representative Hit, has
arrived in this city and will take passage
for Honolulu on the Nlariposa sailing
"Wednesday.
There is one other great question which
Senator Morgan hopes to see taken up
and settled next winter when congress
meets. This is the Nicaraguan canal, and
its next session pass the bill now before
the senate providing for the construction
of the canal. He says:
"The republican party is committed 70
it, and it is thoroughly American pol
icy. 1t can be built for $60,OO0,O 900,
though placed the estimates in my bill
at $ll5,0O0,00O, so that no one could
criticise it as underestimate. The Nicar-
aqua canal would have been built long
ago but for the opposition Of those who
are more English than American, and
who were ready to help England secure
a partnership in the construction and the
control of the canal.
| There is a new bill before congress
now, and new light on the whole propo-
sition is before the country. The Nicara-
qua canal commission will make report
showing the practicability Of the prop.
osition and the commercial necessity for
the construction OF the canal. The war
and the great voyage of the Oregon, with
the anxiety of the whole nation over the
safety of the magnificent battleship, have
already demonstrated the absolute need
of the canal in time of war, and President
Mckinley will recommend it in his next
message to congress.
II believe the Nicaragua canal will BIZ
built and built by American capital. II
is now necessary to bring together tht
different parts of our POSSESSIONS and t.
connect the Atlantic seaboard with tbs
Pacific and with Hawaii. The commerce
of the world demands the construction a
this great waterway. Holding Puerto
Rico in the Caribbean sea and a protect
omte over Cuba, this nation would b,
craven to allow any other power to nav,
any part or interest in the control of tn,
canal"
1t is believed that Senator Morgan
bill making the canal government pro
Iject will be passed during the coming SEES
sion. The navy department is intensel,
interested in the canal. Arguments ar
being prepared by the experts of the de
parment now for submission to congress

NO ANSWER RECEIVED YET.
Spain Accepts the Terms-The Dove
of Peace Flies slowly

Madrid, Aug. 6.--Eyening.-The cab
met today approved the basis of the
peace conditions proposed by the United
States. Duke Almodovar del Rio, the
minister of foreign affairs, is charged with
revising the reply, which will be read and
approved at the cabinet council tomorrow
morning. 1t is stated on good authority
that the Spanish reply will give no oc-
casion for further response from the
United States.
Washington, Aug. 6.-Spain's answer to
the American demands was not received
by the French ambassador up to mid
night tonight. Nj. Cambon and his staff,
who had been awaiting it through the
evening, at that hour were convinced that
it would not arrive before tomorrow and
the ambassador retired and his sta fl went
to their homes.

spondent of the Sunday Times says:

generals, follows the example of Senol

The news from Puerto Rico is received
with great disappointment. The Span

The general opinion is that it is no
worth while to risk lives and spend mil
