SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
Bothersome Cablegrams from
Merritt and Dewey.
WORRY OVER MANILA.
UuIted States May Have to Fight
Philippine Rebels Instead
of Spaniards.

Washington. ID. c., Aug. 1.-SeCretary
Algcr and Secretary Long are in confer
encr with the President over the serious
situation in the Philippines.
They have important dispatche. from
Gen. Merritt and Admiral Dewey.
Secretary Alger admitted the signih-
caucc of these dispatches, but declined to
state their exact nature.
Washington, d. c.. Aug. 1.-Gen. Mer-
rjtt has again cabled the war department
relative to the situation in Manila, which
he finds very unsatisfactory and danger
Gus owing to the attitude of the insur-
gents In the opinion of Gen. Merritt
the attiudfe of the insurgents there is
similar to that assumed by Garcia S Gu
bans upon the question of their right to
enter and possess themselves OF the city,
although in this case the insurgents are
vrrv much more forrida bic, being not
only more numerous but better armed
and filled with the arrogance following
numerous victories over their spanish
foes

any moment to rcpel the insurgents. The
general gave notice that he was about to
combine with Admiral Dewey in joint
demand for he surrender of the city to
the United States forces. thus forestall-
ing the insurgents, and this move may
cause a rupture
1t is possible. i'll view Of the fact that
Gen. Merritts cablrGram was sent from
Cavite last Thursday, that this move
ment has been made already by the com
hIned American military and naval
forces although there is some doubt
about this on account Of a statement
from Merritt he may need all of his sol
diers before attacking. Still it is pOssibls
that the demand might be made without
an attack, which might be deferred un,l
all the troops have reached Cavite.
Up 10 the date of the report Gen. Maf.
rltt had with him about 1900 soldiers.
50 far seven expeditions have left San
Francisco carrying soldiers to the Philip
pines, and it is the intention 10 furnish
Merritt at least 5000 men more than his
present force If he delays his attack until
nn these have reached him, Manila will
not be taken in that way before Septcm-
hcr, for the last of the troops have not
yet started from San Francisco.
1t may be. however. that the arrange
mont as to the Philippines, which it is ex-
pcCted viii be included in the peace
treaty, will cbviate the necessity for fur
ther action en- the part of the American
commanders.

The death of the ex-chancellor came as
surprise to all Europe. Despite the fam

apprehension when the sinking Of the

by what the family left unsaid than by
any information given. But when the

Butterflies of Great Value.

High prices are paid for butterflies. and
some private collections, such as that Of
W. Rothschild at Tring. Herts. are worth
enormous sums Some New Guinea but
teries have fetched $50 apiece. One Of
the Rothschilds is reported to have paid
900 for a Papillo, now quite common.
Unfortunately the demand for rare spaci-
mems has led TO dishonesty. The insects
are fastened TO the bodies Of other species.

Echweninger's assertion when he sal

kchweninger's assertion when he said
there was no reason why Bismarck should
not reach the age of 90 years.
The reports were deemed to bo rcpe-
tition Of the alarm that Prince Bismarck
was in eXtremis, which had been often re-
pcat"d in the past. All the Saturday pa
pers in Europe dismissed Bismarck with
a paragraph, noting the improvement,
while his condition was completely over
shadowcd in the English papers by the
condition Of the Prince of Wales knee.
1t appears that the eX-ChancelIOr's
death was not precipitatcd by sudden
complications, but it was rather the cul-
minatiOn of chronic diScascs-neuralgia of
the face and inflammation of the veins
which kept him in constant pain that was
borne with iron fortitude, which might
have been expected.
The beginning of the end dates from
July 20, when the prince was confined TO
his bed. He had been several days pros
tratcd before an inkling of his decline
reached the world.
