Declares Both spaniards and Germans
Have Made Overtures to Him.
London, July 14.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of The Daily Mail says:'
General Aguinaldo declares that both
the Spaniards and the Germans have
made overtures to him, though he de-
clines to divulge their import. United
States Consul Wildman asserts that
Admiral Dewey could compel the sur
render of Manila tomorrow IL he liked.
He says his dispatches show the Ger
mans continue to interefer. their ac-
they are assisting the Spaniards by
landing -four and other supplies, and
moreover. that the German officers
have been seen in the Spanish trenches.
The Germans have not been careful to
observe the naval courteses required
by the situation.
Give Dewey Much Annoyance.
They have given Admiral Dewey
much annoyance by going against his
regulations and by insisting on sending
their boats around the bay after dark.
At the same time the German admiral
Informed Admiral Dewey that he has
no intention of giving offense to Amer
lea and that his movements are not to
be construed as any demonstration of
Ill will. Admiral Dewey is said to have
replied: Perhaps 1t would be better II
matters were managed little differ
entity The German ships have done
and are still doing rash and imperti-
nent things, like the Irene incident.
The Americans hope the Spaniards will
continue their waste of ammunition in
fighting the rebe.s and then surrender
Manila without bloodshed. Admiral
Dewey, on the report that the German
fleet was landing large quantities of
rice and flour for the Spaniards, de-
cided to be more strict, and has put
pinnace at the end of the jetty to over
haul all launches going or coming"
Berlin Hints at Intervention.
The Berlin correspondent of The
Times says: The German press is &C
lively discussing the future Of the Phil
ippines. The difficulties arising out Of
the present state of things-of which
II is asserted the Americans hardly take
sufficient account-may soon assume
alarming proportions, such, indeed as
may finally necessitate the interven-
ton of powers whose commercial in
terests in the is and are affeo ted"
The Kreuz Zeitung points out that
American annexation is by no means
necessary and would involve a COM
plete change in Americas naval and
military system. But it adds: 1T is
evident that the Monroe doctrine has
been dropped and a new policy of i'm
perialism begun. The stars and stripes
will shortly wave over Manila. 1t Is
beginning to be universally acknowl-
edged here that Spain can now hon
orably sue for peace with every pros
pect of acceptance"

Alger Takes Conservative View.
Secretary Alger returned to the war
department from the White House
shortly before o'clock. He expressed
his qualification at the latest reports
from General Shafter, but apparently
desired to take a conservative view OF
the matter as being of such grave i'm
portance that 1t must not be regarded
as settled finally and absolutely until
actually accomplished in its details,
and said 1t yet remains to be known
exactly what the terms Of surrender
were. He said he had tslsgraphed
General Shelter inquiring o. to the ex-
act terms. So far ~ the transporta
ton Of Spanish troops back to Spain
went that, he said, was fully under
stood and entirely approved. In CEN
eral he regarded the situation as high
~ satisfactory.
Will Await Further News.
Adjutant General Corbin said soon
after o'clock that the exact terms
of the surrender are not quite fully
understood at this end of the line and
would not be fully accepted until a
further report had been received from
General Shafter giving all the details.
General Corbin said that as understood
here, the surrender includes the en-
tire province of Santiago and all the
Spanish garrison included within its
limits. A telegram has been sent Gen
eral Shafter requesting details of the
surrender and final action has been
deferred until receipt Of an answer

that MANY obstinate cases OF constlpatlou

1t should be thoroughly mastlcateo ana
eaten perhaps in place of the evening
meal.
The effect is likely to be felt in the
morning and generally produces resuts
satisfactory to the user.
Then the far back cause of the trouble
should be sought out and remedied.
Very often indeed the cause comes from
a weakened condition of the delicate
nerves and muscles of the intestines and
they are simply powerless to do their
work.
Coffee is, in the majority of cases, the
active cause of this weakened condition
