Aguinaldo, the Philippine Insurgent
Chief, Made Two Propositions.
AMERICANS TO OFFICER NATIVE TROOPS.
The Rebel Chief Wants His Troops to
March Through Manila When the
City Surrenders-Gives Strong
Blow to Our Indecision.
A dispatch from Manila bay, by way

A dispatch from Manila bay, by way
Of Hong Kong, says:
"Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief, is
becoming more friendly to the Ameri-
cans. He has made two propositions
to General Merritt, which may solve
the insurgent problem in manner
highly advantageous to the United
States. In the first place, he asks the
commander inc chief of the American
land forces to permit the rebel troops
to march through the streets of Manila
when the city surrenders. General
Merritt appears inclined to consent to
this. 1t would crafty the vanity of
the natives to let them indulge in what
will seem to them triumphal march
as victors through the capital of the
enemy they have been successfully
combating and besieging since the
wiping out of Montejo's fleet.
'In the second place Aguinaldo sug-
gested the formation of Philippine reg
iments with American officers. This
is considered highly important propo-
sition, bearing upon the whole situa-
ton throughout the islands. Is is be-
lieved that they would be obedient and
easily controlled under tactful Ameri-
can commanders. The American
troops occupy the trenches in front of
Manila. The rebels withdrew to let
the American forces take their places
close to the Spanish lines"

TRIBUTE TO COURAGE.
Admiral Cervera Pays Neat Tribute to
Lieutenant Hobson.

In response to an invitation ex-
tended in the name of the people of
Greensboro, Ala, to visit Lieutenant
Hobson's home, Admiral Cervera
writes:
ct thank you very much and also
the citizens of Greensboro for the kind
expressions contained in your letter,
and you will allow me to say that it is
1 who should render thanks (which L
do with the greatest pleasure) for the
kind and generous treatment which l
am receiving at the hands of the Ameri-
can people. 1t would be gratifying to
me to accept your invitation to visit
Greensboro, where was born the brave
Lieut.. Richmond Pearson Hobson. but
it will be impossible for me to do 50,
for as soon as the war is ended it will
be obligatory upon me to return imme-
diately to Spain to account for my con-
duct, which must be judged as pro-
vided for by the law. Nevertheless, 1
shall not fail to carry through all my
life the remembrance of such brave
officers as Lieutenant Hobson, and also
the fattering invitation rendered me
by the oity of his BIRTH

LONDON THAT extreme diplomatic

Petersburg, will have the desired effect
of arresting Russian aggressiveness.

Believed That the Madrid Government
VIII Reluctantly Accept Our Terms.
A Fridays special from Washington
says:
Nothing has as yet been heard from
Spain. The administration is anxious
ly awaiting the reply from Ambassador
Cambon, but at this hour no word has
come from him asking for an audience.
The best informed persons here fix
Monday as the time the United States
government is likely to receive SPANS
formal answer, but this is simply con-
iectural, for there is not the slightest
means of knowing the tendencies at
Madrid. There is the same confident
belief among the officials that has been
from the first that Spain's answer Will
be reluctant but conclusive acceptance.
At the same time, it was suggested IN
some quarters that there was possl-
bility that the disclosures made by the
American general at Santiago concern
ing the serious condition of our troops
might be a straw at which the Spanish
cabinet would grasp.

AUGUINALDO TALKS.
Interest of People as Sacred to Him as
Ours to Us-A Side Blow to
Our Indecision.

Hone KoNG.-The following has
been received from Auguinaldo, the
Philippine leader by Consul Wildman
from Cavite:
81 have read in the newspapers that
1 am getting the big head and not be-
having as 1 promised. In reply L ask,
why should the Americans expect me
to outline policy, present or future,
and fight blindly in her interests when
America will not be frank with me and
tell me whether l am fighting for an
nexation, protection or Independence?
Is 1t not for America to say and not
me? 1 can take Manila, as l have de-
feated the Spanish elsewhere, but
what will be the use? If America
takes Manila [ can save my men and
arms for what the future has in store.
Now, my good friend, believe I am
not both fool and rogue. The inter
ests of my people are as sacred to me
as the interests of your people to you.

POPLARvIlLE MISS. THURSDAY, AUGUST II. 1885,
ARMISTICE WILL BE DECLARED.
Will in No Way Interfere With Former
Plans to Garrison Santiago.

Plans to Garrison Santiago.
WASHINGTON. armistice will be
declared in all probability by Wednes-
day, and the proclamation promul-
gated. The officials of the war depart
nent say that it will in no way inter
fere with their plans to garrison and
occupy Cuba, but that those troops
ordered to Porto Rico, which are now
already on their way, when the proc
lamation is issued will not be permit
ted to proceed, as there are sufficient
troops there now to garrison the
island. Those regiments which are
partially embarked will be allowed to
proceed.
1t is known that Ambassador Cam
bon has received Spain's reply, and
that it contains the full acceptance of
the presidents terms of peace. As
soon as the armistice is declared the
blockade at Havana will be partially
lifted, sufficient to allow food supplies
to reach the island. In all other re-
spects it will be maintained. The
question as to using the Spanish SOL
diers to police the island is causing
some trouble, as it is feared that they
could not be trusted, but will pillage
the people, feeling no sense of re-
sponsibility in their work. The presi-
dent is determined, if possible, to keep
our troops out of Havana until the
fall and will employ almost any means
to do so.

The Speed of Insects.

1t is the popular belief that the flight
of birds is much swifter than that or
insects. but a number of naturalists
who have been making study or the
matter think that such is not the case.
A common house fly, for example, Is
not very rapid in its flight, out lts
wings make 500 beats second, and
sends it through the air twenty-five
feet, under ordinary circumstances, IN
that space of time. When the insect
is alarmed, however, it has been found
that if increases its rate of speed to
over $50 feet per second. If it could
continue such rapid flight for mile
in a straight line it would cover that
distance in exactly thirty-three sec
onds.
II is not an uncommon thing, when
travelling by rail in the summer time
TO see a pee or wasp keeping up with
the train and trying to get in at one
of the windows. A swallow is con-
sidered one of the swftest flying birds,
and it was thought until short time
ago that no insect could escape it. A
naturalist tells of an exciting chase he
saw between Il swallow and a dragon
fly. which is among the swiftest of in
sects. The insect flew with incredible
speed. and wheeled and lodged with
such ease that the swallow, despite its
utmost efforts, completely failed to
overtake and capture it..

A Dog That Talks.

tific world.
The talking dog is of Scotch collie
breed. He has several words In his

nounce plainest are "oh, no." When
asked by his master to reply he VIII

The Herald INDICATED.

II its ogden department yesterday,
the Tribune sneered at The Herald's
account ot the plans being made to
control the Democratic primaries in
this county in the interest of Senator
Cannon. The information given by
this paper on the authority of prom
inent supporter of Senator Cannon was
classed as a fake interview, and the
statement was put into the mouth of q
silver Republican, THAT someone had
imposed on The Herald, or else Senator
Cannon had the usual accomoaniment
of fool friends
This morning the Tribune's own col
umnS will contain a notification of The
Herald'S account in a report of the
conference held last night by Senator
Cannon with a number of fusion Dem
oorats, and 1t will further be announced
that g number of similar conferences
have been arranged for. including one
tonight in the Fifth ward This verifi-
cation rather disooses of the theory
that The Herald was imposed u0on.
There IS one sentence in the Tribunes
screed that viii bear quoting at this
time. 1t is as follows: IF The Her
aid interview came from Cannon sup
porter, and is the truth. then, as a gen
eral proposition, the political foolkiller
is not doing his duty"
