from Manila. The former say that they

as evidenced by his appointment of a
Cabinet, his declaration of independence

Cavite. have been landed half way be-
tween Manila and Cavite and the United

GERMANY is WILLING.
1t Is Said That She VIII Take Part In
the Proposed Peace Con-
ference.

BERLIN, Aug. 3.-The official Norde
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, believed to
be inspired by Prince Hohenlohe, the i'm
perial chancellor, declares the Willingness
of Emperor William and Germany to ac-
cept the invitation to attend the congress
as proposed by the Russian emperor.
LONDON, Aug. 31.-The Daily Graphic
says that Lord Salisbury, in 1888. commun-
icated to Emperor William a memorandum
showing the tremendous cost of armed
Europe. Emperor William was so i'm
pressed that he privately intimated his in
tention to summon 4 disarmament con-
gress. The semi-official German press ven-
tilated the idea, with the result that so
much animosity was revealed on the part
of France that the kaiser abandoned the
project.
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Times says:
Count Muravioff, the Russian foreign
minister, declares that the idea originated
entirely with Emperor Nicholas. There is
much scepticism in diplomatic circles as to
any practical results from a conference,
and it is admitted on all sides that the cir
cular came as the greatest surprise
The Paris correspondent of the Times
still insists that NJ. Faure and the French
ministers knew nothing beforehand, and
that the czar's proposal has plunged the
entire official world into terrible embar-
rassment and almost into stupefaction.
Everybody" says NJ. DeBlowitz, ''is ask
ing with dismay what 1t means. 1t is a
sad awakening for France, and her papers
are making an immense effort to restrain
their feelings in the face of what is regard
ed as Russian perfidy.'
The st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Daily Mail says:
The proposal is a victory for NJ. De-
Witte, the Russian minister of finance over
Count Muravieff, the former having warned
Emperor Nicholas that if Muravieff's pro-
vocative policy toward England was con-
tInued Russia would soon become bank
rupt. NJ. DeWitte advised disarmament as
a peace policy to enable him to carry out
his plans for a gold standard in Russia and
rehabilitation of Russian finance"
