WASHINGTON Aug. l, lSss.-e1enerai
Merritt has again caDied inc war De-
partmeTt relative to the SITUATION IN
Manila, which ne lnds very unsatlslac-
tory and dangerous OWING to tne attltuoe
OF the insurgents In the opinion OF
~General merritt the attitude OF the IN
surgents there IS similar 10 that assumed
by Garclas Cubans upon the question OF
their right to enter and possess them
selves OF the city, although IN this case
the insurgents are very much more for
midable element, being not only more
numerous but better armed and filled
with the arrogance following numerous
victories over their Spanish foes.
General Merritt however, indicates
that he will do his utmost to protect the
citizens from the savagery of the insurg-
ents, though his task is delicate and
difficult one because of the fact that he
must, while fighting the Spaniards be
ready at any moment to repel the insur-
gents
The General gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey in
joint demand for the surrender of the
city to the United States forces thus
forestalling the Insurgents. and this move
may cause a rupture 1t is possible in
view OF the fact that General Merritt's
cablegram was sent from Cavite last
Thursday that this movement has been
made already by the combined American
military and naval forces, although there
is some doubt about this on account of
statement from Merritt that he may
need all Of his soldiers before attacking
Stiii 1t Is possible that the demand
might be made without being Immediately
followed by an attack which might be de-
ferred until all the troops have reached
Cavite. Up to the date of the report
General Merritt had with him about H.
600 soldiers. So far seven expeditions
have left San Francisco carrying soldiers
to the Philippines and it is the intention
to furnish 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 be-
lore september, for the last Of the troops

VICTORIA WOULD ADVOCATE.
Prince of Wales Said to Have Dissuaded
His Mother,

His Mother.
LONDON, Oct. Histories OF Queen
Victoria's desire to abdicate are again
afoat. The most recent tale is to the
effect that short time ago she sum
moned the Prince Of Wales and an
nounced to him her desire. The latter
is said to have informed his mother that
he took as great pride in her long and
honorable reign as any Of her subjects
and he desired to see her remain upon
the throne until her death. But the
most vital argument which the prince
is said to have made against abdication
concerned the relations of England just
at present with other powers. He is
said to have informed the queen that
change OF rulers at a time when the
Fashoda question is unsettled and the
eastern crisis has not passed would be
unwise and dangerous. He pointed out
to her, it is said, that her well-kn own
desire that Great Britain be not plunged
into war during the closing years Of
her reign would have much to do with
the solution of existing questions
