|. LONDON, Feb. 81. The present feel
ing between England and France. has
been Of old birth and steadily growing
for at least q year. The Greco Tureo
complications that drew SO much OF the
attention of the European powers last
summer may be thanked for keeping
the attention and hate Of these two
nations diverted from each other.
Otherwise they may have undoubtedly
been spiked on to the trouble by the
many events In Africa. The chief
trouble then was brought about by the
Egyptiars in connection with the
Suez canal. The Egyptians were
determined to contiol that water pass
age. They declared that the right
Of regulating the manage
ment of the canal setting the amount
OF tie toll. and granting permission to-
pass through belonged to them by
right. England could not hear of this.
The question was of weighty inn
port Its end determined the ques-.
tion of the control OF great
commercial as well us stratcgical key.
England asked France to cooperate

DISQUIETING
Are the Reports from Gen. Oils at
Manilla---A Spanish Garrison in
Danger.

Washington, November 16.-Reports
of a somewhat disquieting nature have
been received from Gen. Otis, in COM
mand at Manila. He says that the
province of Iloilo. in the island af
Fancy. which is technically occupied by
the Spaniards. is surrounded by the
insurgents and that fears are enter
tanned that the Spanish population and
garrison will be l. assacred by the in
surgents. The capital of the province
is 65 miles from Manila, but this and
the other islands with the exception Of
Manila and its adjacent country, is not
under control of the Americans. Here
tofore the United States officers have
tried TO prevent disturbances between
the insurgents and the Spaniards
through good Offices and counsel. The
indications are, however, that the
present situation in Iloilo cannot be
controlled by the United States army at
Manila or the insurgent leaders there.
and if serious consequences are averted
some other method will have TO be
adopted. The troops under Gen. Otis
are not available for any such duty, and
under the terms of the protocol, pend
ing peace negotiations, it is not desir-
able to send force from the army to
the island of Panay. There is no in
tention at present of sending additional
troops to Gen. Otis, but the situation is
such as to strengthen the determina-
ton of the administration not TO re-
duce the available force under his COM
mand.

Marietta, O., November 16.-The

ing a slot machine company, and while
keeping company with Miss Campbell
dared her to marry him. She ac-
cepted the challenge and they eloped to
Moundsville. W. Va.
few days after the wedding Ma
honey deserted his handsome bride.
Miss Campbell belongs to one of the
best families OF the city and the af-
fair was kept secret until she could
rid herself of her husband, whose
whereabouts are unknown.

IGNORED AGUINALDO.
Gen Merritt Says He Had No Use for the
Insurgent Leader.


Insurgent Leader.
London, November 16.-Gen. Wesley
Merritt, u. S. A., who is in this city,
has read with a great deal of interest
the long letter of complaint against
American officials in the Philippine
islands addressed by the so-called Fill
ippino junta of Hong Kong to Presi-
dent Mckinley and the American peo-
pie. In discussing the Filippinos, the
American general refers to them as
children" and says it would be i'm
possible to establish American govern
ment in the islands He adds that
they must have some form of colon
ial government similar to the British
colonial governments. Regarding the
complaints of the Filippinos, the gem
eral said:
1T was impossible to recognize the
insurgents and | made it point not
to do SO, as | knew it would lead to
complications. Admiral Dewey, after
my arrival. pursued the same course.
What was done before is not for me
to comment on. | purposely did not
recognize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor
did l use them in any way. Aguinaldo
did not ask to see me until ten days
after my arrival. After that I was too
much occupied to see him.
In talking with leading Filippinos
| told them the United States had no
promises to make, but that they might
be assured that the government and
people of the United States would treat
them fairly This was because the
United States is in the habit of deal
ing fairly with all struggling peoples,
and not because / had been authorized
to say anything of the kind.
I'VE purposely did not give the in
surgents notice of our attack on Ma
Mia because we did not need their Co
operation and did not purpose having
IT, We were moged by fear that they
might loot and plumber and possibly
murder. Aguinaldo's subordinate
leaders. in conversing with American
officers. frequently said they intended
to cut the throats Of all the Spaniards
in Manila.
"Aguinaldo himself wrote a COM
planning letter saying the insurgents
had been denied their share of the
booty whatever he may have meant
by that. | took no notice of this let
ter. nor do / think the subject raised
now is a subject Tor consideration be-
tween Aguinaldo and any representa-
tive of the American government"
