TROUBLE At MANILA.
AguinaldO Grows Ugly
Toward Americans.
COMPLICATIONS ARE AHEAD

fnsurgent Chief Drunk With the Win g

Dictator.
London, Aug. "a dispatch to the
Times from Cavite says: 1t is becom-
ing more apparent daily that there are
serious complications ahead. The
Americans never made greater mis-
take than in bringing Aguinaldo and
the insurgent leaders here giving them
arms and ammunition for free use from
the Cavite arsenal. Aguinldo, fearing
annexation by the Americans, openly
opposes them.
Either he has been encouraged by
some foreign power, or he has a false
notion of the strength of the Philip
pine revolutionists, failing to recognize
that their recent successes are due TO
the concentration of the Spanish
strength at Manila, consequent upon
the presence of the Americans. AL

WADE, NEW ENGLAND.

New England, which during revolu- tionsry times, was the birth place of patriotism, has suffered very marked retrogression, aud by its action through the majority of its representatives in Congress, hns announced to the lest oi the Union that they prefer di-honer- able peace to a inst var. Their news papers have done everything in their power to discourage the war spirit, pre- fering to accept the insults aud hostile acts of Spain, rather than assert our rights and protect our honor as Il nation The expostulation, however discredit- able, appears to have bnd a decisive in auence upon public opinion and New England is today antagonistio to the patriotic sentiment of the United States in its conflict with Spain.
 As evidence of this feeling may be cited the refusal of the signal corps of the State of Connecticut to obey th. orders of the governor of the State, hav,ng the temerity To d,c!are that tn, ' are not in sympathy with the govern meut in its present conflict with Spain. Such declaration in early time' would have been termed insubordin ation and would have subjected th, culprits to the severest de,cipline. N, State in the Union will profit nor, financially by the present War thu, Connecticut, as some of our principa | srsenals and manufactures of smai arms are lucsted iu the State, auc thousands of idle men will find em ployment. Moreover. the coast O Connecticut is practically uuprotec,e, from assaults of the enemy. and shonlo their harbors be attacked and reduced they would receive very little synra thy from the people of other sections of the nation.
