Manila, Oct. 23.-The commission Of
Spaniards sent here recently by Gener-
al Rios, Spain's chief representative In
the Philippines and governor general
Of the southern portions Of the archi-
pelago, arranged temporary CONNER
cial convention, and accordingly inter-
island traffic was resumed. but 1t is
now again interrupted, this time by or
dera from General Rios.
The steamer San Nicholas, which left
Manila yesterday flying the American
nag. was compelled to return by n
Spanish gunboat, whose commander
offered as plea for his action that the
crew consisted Of Filippinos who
might smuggle cOntraband articles.
The San Nicholas, after reporting
her experience. sailed again. followed
by the United States gunboat McCul-
loch. The Insurgents steamer Murioln
entered Manila harbor flying the inxur.
gent nag, which was promptly hauled
down by the Americans.
Yesterday the British consul at Ma.
nila convened a meeting Of merchants
to discuss the commercial deadlock

months. In the existing conditions bus
iness relations with the provinces have

meeting resolved to make an urgent
appeal to the British government to
endeavOr TO hasten n settlement of
pending issues.
The attitude OF the insurgent troops
has become mcnncing. Their supplies
are growing scarce and they are get
ting desperate. Their leader assures
the troops who have had no pay for
months that they will soon capture
Manila.
The Filipino newspapers insist upon
absolute Independence and denounce
annexation to the United States or IN
American prOtectOrate with equal en-
ergy. The American authorities. naval
and military. are taking precautionary
measures. although no immediate trou-
ble is anticipated.
