Washington, Aug. 25.-In connection with the suggestion that embarrassing complications are likely to result from the consideration of the property rights of the church in Porto Rico and Cuba, it is of some interest to know that the United States government has adopted general rule on the subject of church property in captured terri tory. Article 34 in Lieber's instruc- tions for the government of armies, etc., which was approved by the pres idcnt and adopted by general order in 1863, says on this subject that ''as a general rule the property belonging to churches, to hospitals or other es- tablishments of exclusively charitable character, to the establishment of ed ucation, or foundations for the promo ton of knowledge, whether public schools, universities, academies of learning or observatories, museums of fine art or of scientific character, such property is not to be considered public property in the sense of para graph 31, but may be taxed" etc.
 Para graph 31 referred to provides that public moneys and all public property may be appropriated by the government taking possession of terri tory, the permanent title to real prop erty remaining in abeyance until the conquest is made complete.
 While these are general rules in the case of actual conquest, it is appre- ciated that new principles may be re- quired to meet new conditions, as the circumstances under which Cuba and Porto Rico como under our control are somewhat novel. In the case of Cuba

MERRITT DOUBLY MENACED.
ATTITUDE OF INSURGENTS Is
THREATENING

They Claim the Right to Enter and
Possess Themselves of the City.
American Commander to DO His
Best to Protect the Inhabitants OF
the City From Their savagerS.
The General To Combine With Adj
miraI Dewey in "a joint Demand
for the SurrendeF of the City.
Washington, Aug. 1-Gen. Merritt has
again cabled the war department relative
to the situation at Manila, which he finds
very unsatisfactory and dangerous, owing
to the attitude of the Insurgents.
In the opinion of Gen. Merritt the at
titude of the insurgents there is similar
to that assumed by Gen. Garcia's Cubans
upon the question of their right to enter
and possess themselves Of the city, al
though In this case the insurgents are a
very much more formidable element. be-
ing not only more numerous, but better
armed and filled with the arrogance fol-
lowing numerous victories over Spanish
foes.
Gen. Merritt, however, indicates that he
will do his utmost to protect the citizens
from the savagery of the insurgents.
though his task Is a delicate and difficult
one, because of the fact that he must,
while fighting the Spaniards, be ready at
any moment to repel the insurgents.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admital Dewey in
a joint demand for the surrender of the
city to the United States forces, thus fore
stalling the insurgents, and this move may
cause a rupture.
1t is possible, in view of the fact of Gen.
Merritt's cablegram was sent from Cavite
last Thursday, that this movement has
been made already by the combined Ameri-
can military and naval forces, although
there is some doubt Of this on account OF
the statement of Cen Merritt that he
would need all his soldiers.
Up to the dale of the report Gen. Mer-
rift had with him about 1900 soldiers. So
far seven expeditions have left San Frau-
cisco carrying soldiers to the Philippines
and it is the intention 10 furnish Gen
Merritt at least 5000 men more than his
present force If he delays his attack until
all these have reached him, Manila will not
be taken in that way before September
for the last of the troops have not yet
started from San Francisco
1t may be, however, that the arrange
ment as to the Philippines which 1t is ex
pected will be included in the peace treaty,
will ObViate the necessity for further ac-
ton on the part of the American command
ers.
Later in the day Secretary Alger and
Secretary Long had a conference with the
President over the situation in the Philip
pines. They had important dispatches
from Gen. Merritt and Admiral Dewey

HOOIey's Revelations Throw Share
holders Into a Panic.

London August 1.-4Mr. HOoleys revela-
lions of tho roitenness of London hnan-
ciering have thrown into a panic millions
of Englishmen who have invested their
savings in the stock of companies.
1t was after of common notor.ety that
| the small promoting journalists parasites
fattened on company operations, but the
gigantic fabric of bribery ana b,ackmail-
ing by which boards of directors are or
sanized of purchased names and backed
by a subsidized press, some lords even be-
ing paid to quit the companes when no
longer needed, was unsuspectel
The only question asked as. who will be
the next, and the chorus of donials, some
merely technical, is received with cynical
scepticsm.
An exodus of aristocrats on foreign
tours is expected, and investigations are
sure to result
Proposals of legislation to regulate and
purify companies are already preached
In the meantime the promoting Napo-
leon, turned informer, mounts The pedestal
as popular hero. People are forgetting
his share Of the responsibility of the sys-
TEN he exposes, the crowd in court ap-
plauding every time he scores off noble
man.
To-day's proceedings were filled with
dramatic episodes, especially the revela-
ton of attempts 10 brihe Mr. Hooley 10
per1ure himself by withdraWins the state

These efforts drew from the registrar

swore this afternoon that he never trans

He was tremendously applauded for this

RIOT AT FORT MCPHERSON.
Negro Soldiers Try to All Negro
Who Cut Comrade.


Atlanta, Ga, Aug. IA serious riot
was narrowly averted this afternoon at
Fort Mcpherson and but for the PROMPT
arrival of the corporal of the guard and
large squad of men, together with the
assistance of Marshal Ryan of Oakland
one man would in all probability have
been lynched by an Infatuated mob of
soldiers.
fight took place between a negro by the
name of Harmon McGinnis and one of the
negro soldiers stationed at the post in
which the latter was dangerously if not
fatally cut. After the cutting a large
crowd of negro soldiers made for McGin-
mis-, who Immediately fled to a house and
crawled under a bed to escape the mob in
pursuit
The crowd, which by this time number
ed nearly a thousand. surrounded the
house A number of the soldiers enter
ed, and discovering McGinnis under the
bed pulled him out and began beating him
with sticks and rocks.
Lieut.. Hill, with large squad of men,
arrived on the scene and entering by way
of window, attempted to rescue the negro
from his captors. McGannis, who was
bleeding profusely from score Of wounds
made a dash for liberty but was met at
the front door by Marshal Ryan, who
caught the negro and held him.
When the crowd saw McGinnis on the
porch of the house. an effort was made
to take him from the marshal, and cries
of 'kill him" lynch himr" were heard
on every hand, and for a time it looked
as though they would make good their
threats.
Bricks, rocks. clubs and other missiles
were thrown by the mob at the prisoner
and those who had him in charge, and
Marshal Ryan, received painful blow on
the right leg from a flying brick.
The crowd was pressing the marshal
and those with him to such an extent,
that IL became necessary for him to draw
his revolver and with this he held the
mob at bay until re-enforcements arrived
from the barracks.
