German Interference Mt Manila.

Admiral Dewey's latest movement in
the Philippines forms a fitting sequel
to the story Of German unfriendliness
and underhanded obstruction and inter
ference in the archipelago. The con-
duct Of the Kaisers naval officers, in
ignoring the port regulations of our
admiral. and in giving encourage
ment, if not actual aid, to our enc
mics in Manila. was bad enough, but
the final act which compelled Dewey
to assert himself appears to shave been
little short of hostile. To send a war
vessel to Subig Bay and there attempt
10 protect the Spanish garrison from
attack by our recognized Philippine
auXiliaries was direct affront which
il would be beneath the dignity of our
Government TO pass unnoticed.
1t brought the strained situation in
Manila TO climax, and Admiral Dewey
promptly capped il with a cruiser and
a gunboat When they appeared on
the scene at Subig Bay the German
warship Irene suddenly raised anchor
and cleared out Thus the incident. To-
cally considered, was closed, but it can
not fail TO have consequences of a diplo-
matte or possibly graver character. 1t
settles the fact that Germany has been
carrying out policy of opposition to
American sovereignty in the Philippine

To the German Emperor.

The American navy is practically at
leisure now and very much at the dis
posal of your imperial majesty.
Do you wish TO see it in action? Do
you desire to continue your investiga-
tion of American plans and purposes at
close range? If so say the word.
No one doubts that the amazing ac-
tions of your admiral at Manila during
the last two months have been directed
by your majesty, and there is not a
cabinet in Europe which does not con-
strue the attack on Isla la Grande as
leveled more at you than the Spanish
forces there. Admiral Dewey was pa
tient until the time for drastic action
came-then, Dewey-like, he acted.
1t is possible that your majesty will
not be called to account for the Irene's S
conduct in ySubig Bay. The American
President would much rather concluda
a peace with Spain than begin war
with Germany. But the American peo-
pie, including several millions of Ger
man Americans, are always to be reck-
oned with. Today they view your ma
jesty's recent proceedings with great
displeasure. Tomorrow they may BE-
disposed TO resent and punish them.
And as we remarked in the beginning,
their navy is quite at leisure.

WAR REVENUE TAXES.
Treasury Officials Decide That Push
Carts Are Exempt.


Assistant Attorney Boyd and the off,
cials of the internal revenue bureau of
the treasury are busily engaged construct
ing the various paragraphs of the war
revenue law so that the intent of Con-
gress may be carried out without sub
jecting to hardships various persons which
it is obvious were not to be taxed.
AS the law specifies corporations or per-
sons acting in the capacity of public car
riers, it has been contended that a strict
construction of the act would make tt ap-
ply to the possessor of a horse and
wagon, who conducts an express business,
or the owner of a pushcart who carries
trunks and packages from one point to
another. The internal revenue bureau.
however. is of the opinion that Congress
did not intend TO place tax upon single
express wagons and pushcarts. and will
not insist that the owner of either give
manifestS to their patrons, or place
stamps upon such receipts as they may
be required to give in the course of their
business. $3.50
Another question that has bothered the
internal revenue officials is that of ware
house receipts. The law, if carried out
according to its letter, would force the
farmer or marketman who availS him
self of the cold storage privilege to pay a
tax of 25 cents upon his receipt for any
goods that might be placed in cold stor-
age. A watermelon left over night and
duly receipted for by the proprietor of
the cold stoarge plant would be COM
pelled under the law, to pay tax of %
cents. Such a construction, the internal
revenue bureau officials hold. would be
obviously contrary to the intent of Con-
gress. and the ruling will be that goods
of perishable nature stored merely for
temporary preservation are not subject to
the tax. a.ar

The arrival of Gen. Pando's force of
1000 men at Santiago probably insures
that city against assault from Gen. Shat
ter'a troops for the present, unless Admir-
al Sampson should succeed in getting his
ships into the harbor in which case I'M
DIR the cover of his guns Gen. Shafter
might be able to storm the city. The
chances are, however, that Gen. Shafter
viii remain quiet until the arrival of re-
Inducements that ares being sent him,
unless he is attacked by the Spaniards
AS to the chances of their attacking him
1t is difficult to predict. If the Spanish
forces are in good condition there will be
a very strong temptation to try and break
Skaters lines before his force is aug.
mented. Gen Skaters desire to have
the feet make its way into the harbor

1t Congress meant that the telegraph
and express companies should pay the
stamp taxes on kilograms and packages,
in whole or in part, it fell far short OF
accomplishing its intention. The tele-
graph companies impose the whole of the
tax on messages upon the sender, not in.
directly by raising their rates. but direct
~ by demanding the cent as prime es-
sential for sending the message. They
will charge the cost of sending the mes
sage, but they will take no chances on
the tax. That must be paid in advance.
The large express companies are perform.
ing in about the same way with regard
to the tax on packages, though some OF
tie local companies in the large cities are
paying the whole tax themselves or shar-
ing it with their patrons. Of course this
is within i their. legala rights. But it is
certainly unjust that these great and
wealthy corporations, who enjoy excep-
tional privileges from the public, should
entirely shirk the expenses of the war.
IL Is an exceedingly unpatriotic perform
ance they are guilty Of, and it is to be
hoped that Congress can and will find
some way to compel them to share the
burdens which the war has imposed upon
the country.

A small success even either on
