 MUCH DISGRUNTLED

PARIS, Nov Recommending on the peace negotiations the Petit Bleu says: '"The Monroe doctrine is now out of date. The American republic, conquer ing and colonizing, no longer has the tinent, since she herself has stepped out of it."
 The Temps says: "The transatlantic democracy has become an imperialist, and a republic founded on federalism and autonomy has become a conquer ing one. From an international point of view this means repudiation of the Monroe doctrine and the entrance of America into the conflicts and intrigues of the great powers, and her harshness to Spain is the cause of much anxiety as to her relations with other powers.

Fostered by the Monks"

MADRID. Negotiations have been
opened with Washington to obtain
permission for the Spaniards on the
Iadrone islands to go to Manila, as
the situation on the islands is most
critical and it is regarded as likely
that the Spanish residents are in
serious danger. The nature of the
trouble will not be given out by the
officials here, although it is intimated
that the trouble is of serious nature,
probably an uprising of the natives.
WASHINGTON. While acting Secre-
tary of State Moore said that the state
department was without information
from the Ladrone islands, it is learned
that the war department has received
adyices confirming the Associated
Press dispatch from Madrid. Moth
ing can be learned, the officials refus-
ing to discuss the dispatch or reveal
the nature of the trouble.

The military government is working
efficiently in all departments. The
business is being actively resumed, the
water works is in opera ton and the
Paris river is open.
Stringent measures have been taken
to insure the sanitation of the eita-
del, which is crowded with prisoners.
The abominably filthy condition Of
the Spanish barracks is a menace to
the general health, which at present,
however, is excellent. Among the
American troops there have been only
seventeen deaths from illness since
landing. Twenty three thousand
stands of arms, 10000, 900 cartridges
and an immense quantity Of large
ammunition have been surrendered,
with nearly 1000 prisoners.
The insurgents recently dispatched
an armed steamer with 500 soldiers on
board for an unknown destination.
Consequently coastwise steamers
manned by Spanish sailors were afraid
to venture out until assured of the pro-
lection of the American fleet
1t is impossible to obtain information
from the interior except along the rail
roads, where every hing is quiet.
Rumors concerning insurgent activity
in the southern part of the island are
credited here
Six hundred priests, including 1lO
prisoners among the insurgents, will
depart for Hong Kong in charge OF the
Belgian consul as soon as the transport
can be procured. There is undoubt-
edly practical unanimity among mer-
chants, irrespective of nationality. in
favor of the permanent occupation OF
the archipelago by the Apericans. No
body conceives the re-estahlishment OF
