loyalty on the part of Spanish residents
in Cuba if they choose to hoist Ameri-
can and Cuban flags, because Spain re-
nounced the island without consulting
the Spaniards.

formally turning over the island to
the Americans on January /, will leave
for MatanZas, where he will remain a
fortnight, going thence to Cienfuegos.

Manila. Dec. 2S.-The so-called con-
gress OF the revolutionary government
IF the FiIipinos, which has been in ses-
:ion for some time, at Malo Los, has
been unexpectedly adjourned, owing to
the difficulty of forming a constitution.
a cabinet by President Aguinaldo,
appointed at BacoOr on July 10 last,
and named In the B0aoor proclamation
issued on that date, has resigned.
General Aguinaldo. who had been at
Malo Los, came from there to Santa
Anata, a suburb of Manila. He then
visited Palermo, and now it is reported
he has gone to Cavite VETO, the old
town of Cavite. Reliable advices say
that while he was at Palermo he was
indeiatigable in his efforts to overcome
the policy of the militant factions,
which is hostile to the Americans. 1t
is probable that his influence will avail
to avert trouble.
The Fillpinos cabinet, proclaimed at
Bacoor on July Is. in conformity with
a decree issued by the revolutionary
government on June Il, was made up
OF the following personnel: President
of the council of ministers, with tho ad
interim portfolios of foreign affairs,
marine and commerce, General Emilio
Aguinaldo y Fanny; secretary of war
and OF public works. Senior Don Bald
anoro Aguinaldo, nephew OF General
Aguinaldo; secretary of the interior,
