FUTURE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
German Press stiII Harping on Euro
pean Intervention.

London. July 1.-THE Berlin cor
respondent of the Times says:
1.-The German press is actively dis
cussing the future of the Philippines. The
difficulties arising out of The present state
of things-of which it is asserted the
Americans hardly take sufficient account
may soon assume alarming proportions
such, indeed. as may finally necessitate
the intervention of Powers whose CONNER
cial interests in The islands are affected.
THE Kreuz Zeitung points out that
American annexation is by no means nee
cssary and would involve a complete
change in Americas military and naval
system. But. 1t adds, it is evident thar
the Monroe doctrine has been dropped and
a new policy Of imperialism begun The
Stars and Stripes will shortly wave over
Manila.
1t Is beginning to be universally ac-
knowledeed here that Spain can now hon.
oraDly sue for peace with every prospect

1.-THE condition of Manila is said to be
terrible. 1t is hoped The town will sur
render without necessitaung lombard

The whole American expedition is expect
ed here by July 80.
Admiral Dewey, whose attitude has
been particularly humane and lenient, has
now declared a complete blockade. Yes

fixed and approved by the commission, by
forcing the payment by shippers and send
ers, of the revenue tax stamps. The ex-
press company and the telegraph COM
pauy are cited to appear July 20, and
show cause, if any, why the penalties for
overcharges should not be enforced, and

mission sworn statements of the number
of messages or shipments upon which
such overcharges have been made between
July l and July 20.
The penalty as to the telegraph COM

WOUNDED SOLDIERS ARRIVE.
SObs and Cheers NIingIe as They Are
Brought Ashore


Newport News Va, July 13-The trans
port City of Washington arrived at Fort
Monroe at 10 o'clock this morning from
Santiago de Cuba, having on board TWEEN
" wounded officers and 200 wounded and
sick privates who fought under Gen. Shat
ter around Santiago.
Most of the men belonged to the Seven
ty-frst New York, though some of them
are Rough Riders. while few are from
the Ninth Massachusetts, and Twenty
third and Thirty-fourth Michigan regi-
ments.
II was impossible to get a list of the
wounded tonight, the authorities posi-
lively refusing to give out any informa-
ton.
Before any of the wounded soldiers were
brought ashore the ship was thoroughly
inspected by a quarantine officer
At noon the officers were carried on
filters from the vessels to the dock in the
presence of several thousand people, but
the privates were not transferred till late
in the afternoon
Some of the scenes We're heart-rending,
while others aroused to the highest pitch
the widest enthusiasm and cheers, ming
led with sobs.
When trooper, negro, who had re-
ceived nine Mauser bullets in his body
was brought ashore on a stretcher, borne
by four white men, the ramparts of Fort
Monroe resounded with cheers sent up by
soldiers and citizens.
The soldiers who were seriously wound
ed were taken to the post hospital, where
they are being cared for, and tie others
were placed in hospital tents. About fif-
ty men who had been wounded in the
hands and arms were permitted to go to
their homes and they left on steamers
bound for Baltimore and Washington,
from which places they will go to their
respective homes.
Some of the wounded presented a horri-
bic spectacle, with bandages covering
their faces.
There were no deaths on the transports
on the trip North, but negro who had
been wounded five times, died in the hos
pital tonight
Every comfort has been provided for the
men who fought on Cuban soil, and 1t is
the opinion of the surgeons that nearly all
of them will recover
The soldiers are enthusiastic, and many
express the hope of a speedy recovery, so
that they may return to do battle again
with the Spaniards. 1t is revenge they
want for Spanish brutality.
Some of the men brought to the fort to-
day are suffering from the effects of sun
stroke and malarial fever.
The steamer Olvette is expected to ar
rive at Fort Monroe tomorrow with more
wounded soldiers on board, and prepare
tons are being made tonight to receive
them:
