Secretaries Alger and Long Confer With the
President.
ne situation Unsatisfactory and
hSerous Owing to the Atti-
tude of the Insurgents,

secretary Alger and Secretary Long are
IN conference with the President over tho
serious situation in the Philippines. They
nave important dispatches from General
merritt and Admiral Dewey. Secretary
Anger admitted the significance of tb.se
dispatches, but declined to state their ex-
act nature.
Neheral Merritt has again cabled tho
war department relative to the situation
IN Mania, which he finds very unsa,isfac-
tCry and dangerous owing to the attitude
OF the insurgents. In the opinion of c.an-
eral Merritt the attitude of the insurgan,s
there is similar to that assumed bv Garcia,s

to enter and possess themselves of the
city, although in this case the Insurgents

about to combine with Admiral Dewey in
a joint demand for the surrender OF the
city to the United States forces, thus fore
sialling the insurgents, and this move NAV
cause a rupture. 1t is possible in view of
the fact that General Merritt's cablegram
was sent from Cavite last Thursday. that
this movement has already been made by
the combined American military and naval
forces, although there is some doubt about
this on account of a statement from Mer-
ritt that he may need all of his soldiers
before attacking. Still it is possible that
the demand might be made without being
Immediately followed by an attack which
might be deferred until all the troops have
reached Cavite. Up to the date of the re-
port General Merritt had with him about
-, 900 soldiers. So far seven expeditions
have left San Francisco carrying soldiers
to the Philippines, and it is the inten-
ton to furnish Merritt at least 5000 men
more than his present force. If he delays
his attack until all these have reached
him, Manila will not be taken in that way
before September, for the last of the
troops have not yet started from San Fran
cisco. 1t may be, however, that the ar
rangement as to the Philippines which
wilt it is expected, be included in the
peace treaty, will obviate the necessity for
further action on the part of the Amerl-
can commanders.

Captain Davis replied that they must sur

think of the women and children. He
agreed not to lombard, to permit the gar

They accepted these terms, and Lieut..
Haines and force of marines went

Correspondent Pepper Was Also n
Visitor Today to Talk on
Cuban Affairs,

President Mckinley had a good many
prominent visitors today. but cut all of his
conferences short to be able to devote his
time to war matters.
One of the earliest visitors was Jieuten-
ant Colonel John Jacob Astor of General
Skaters staff. Colonel Astor has arrived
@ere with the full report of General Shaf-
Ter of the operations around Santiago Col
0nel Astor knows nothing of the report
that he has been ordered to join General
Miles
Colonel Astor. who looked brown from
exposure to the southern sun, wore the
brown duck Uniform worn by him at San
tiago. His sword hung at his side. Charles
Pepper, the war correspondent, was at
the White House when Colonel Astor ar
rived.
Somebody asked him If the millionaire
New Yorker had suffered the hardships of
other soldiers al the front Yes was his
answer, land he has shown surprising grit
and fortitude. AS one of Gen. Skaters
principal officers Col. Astor was constantly
on the move, and shsred all kinds of hard
ships and deprivations."
Mr.. Pepper will talk with the President
about Cuban affairs.
Col Astor, In full Khaki uniform, called
on secretary Alger. COL AStOr Is a mem
ber of Gen. Skaters staff and was sent
north with dispatches, including 1t is
understood, the full articles of capitulation
of Santiago. He had been very much de-
layed on account of quarantine regula tions.
He was accompanied by his secretary who
had in charge the reports from Gen.
Shafter, which, by that officers direction,
Col. Astor was to personally hand to Sec
rotary Alger, and Il one else. Col Astor
will go to New York tonight to spend Il
few days before returning to the front. 1t
is rumored that he is to be attached to
Gen. Miles staff at Porto Rico, but on this
point he had nothing to say.

CAN CABLE TO MILES,
Communication Can BE Made With
the Commander at Ponce.


General Greey, chief signal officer was
able to announce with a great deal Of graf
ffcation this morning that he was now in
direct cable communication with General
Miles headquarters at Ponce Porto Rico.
Heretofore all messages from the general
have come via dispatch boat to ST.
Thomas, and thence by cable, involving a
delay OF from twelve to twenty hours
When the Spanish forces retreated from
Ponce they destroyed the cable instru-
ments. General Greedy has succeeded in
getting the officials at st. Thomas to send
over new instruments, and thus commune
cation was reopened. The present cable
now runs from Ponce to st. Thomas, thence
to Martinique and to Kingston, and SO by
one of two routes to New York The Brit
ish officials who control the cable are per
fectly willing to transmit messages for the
United States government over it, provfd-
ing that our forces are in possession of the
cable terminus, but they will not allow
their cables to be used If instruments are
cut in" at any intermediate point Thus
II happens that the same rule being an

INSTRUCTIONS FROM MADRID

At the French embassy the following au-

sador as the representative of Spain:
when the French ambassador went on
Saturday to the White House. he went
fully enabled to discuss at the Spanish
governments point of view, the PROPOSE
tions of the government of the United
States. These views of the Spanish gov
errment were received by NJ Cambon sub

The foregoing constitutes all that the
French embassy will say on the subject.
and it is the only statement from an au-
thorized source, other than those of an
anonymous character, which gives an un-
