ACUINALDO'S FORCES
May Be Made Useful by General Meritt--Two Propo-
sitions That Promise to Result in Much Good.

New York, August ga dispatch
to the World from Manila, by way
of Hong Kong, says: Aguinaldo,
the insurgent chief. is becoming
more friendly to the Americans.
ac 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 in command OF the 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. It would gra-
tify the vanity of the natives to let
them indulge in what will seem to
them a triumphal march as victors
through the capil1.e Of the enemy
they have been successfully combat
ing and besieging since the wip-
ing cut of Montejo's fleet. At the
same time the native troops being
thus arrayed in line and under di-
rect orders, may be more easily
controlled and prevented from ex-
cesses.
In the second place Agu,naldo
suggests the formation of Philip
pine regiments with American Of
GERS.
This is considered a highly i'm
portant proposition, possible key
to the whole situation on the ISL
and. The natives would thus be
constantly under the eyes and d.
rect orders of our men. 1t is be-
lived that they would be obedient
and easily controlled under tactful
commanders.
The American troops now occupy
the trenches in front of Malate,
suburb of Manila, which were con-

profit-taking movement which has been

chicago, August 0.-Small receipts,
an active cash demand and liberal ex-
port clearances confronted the bears
in wheat to-day. AS result Septem-
Der wheat closed 1c higher and De-
cember &c higher. Corn gained NO
sc. Cats advanced &c. Pork rose
71ac and lard and ribs 21sc. A sharp
rally at Liverpool before the opening
here started wheat higher The fer
eign strength was supplemented by
the domestic situation. The principal
feature of the latter was the small re-
ceipts and consequent inadequacy of
supplies fer immediate shipments east
and abroad. Chicago receipts were
eighty-seven cars, against l24 cars last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth got
seventy cars, whereas 207 cars were
received a year ago. The total re-
celpts at western primary markets
were $4,000 bushels, against SAT geo
bushels the similar day of last year.
Atlantic port exports were again lib
eral, amounting in wheat and flour to
Gas, eco busheia Such reasons were
sufficient to account for the 1c a bush
el advance in September wheat that
, resulted in the first half OF the ses-
SIGN. December, as it has been do
ing of late, participated only to a
small extent in the bullishness OF
September A good deal CT the short
September bought in was resold for
the more distant month. The demand
for the scanty offerings CT carloads CT
wheat in the sample market was alto
gether in excess Of the supply. Tno
demand fer shipping lots was soon
even more urgent than it was yestef-
DAY, and the premium bid over Sep
TENDER price fer Immediate shipment
was sc, while December premium was
&c bid for shipment to the end of the
NORTH. September opened sc higher
at 667s967c, declined to 665s06GAc;
advanced to 67h@67%c, and closed
at 67A 0C7asc. December started
a8@12c up at 653s@63Rc; sold eff to
65Ac, firned up to 657sc ard closed
at $3.50.
The strength in wheat and the sharp
advance in the spot article at Liver
pool were the leading influences in
corn. September opened nc higher
from 3314c to 1880, and that being
right up to call price sellers of those
privileges for the day became buyers
Immediately. There was no much dis
position to sell and prices advanced
steadily. The days range was kept be-
tween 33A@331Ac, the closing price be-
ing 939sc bid.
Oats were firm in sympathy with
other markets. The rains in the coun-
try have hindered threshing, as there
were lots of contracts for early ship
ment the present small receipts were
not found adequate to supply the de-
mand. September opened &c higher
at Die: SOLD up to 2112c, then reacted
to 211s @2lAc at the close. The better
tone in provisions was due to the
strength in grain and higher prices for
hogs at the yards. There was very lit
tie product for future delivery offered
and that which did find its way into
the pit was Quickly absorbed at ad-
vanced prices. September pork began
21ac higher at $685., advanced to s9.121a
and declined to $500 at the close. The
range in lard and ribs was small.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, 125 cars; corn, 440 cars; oats,
250 cars; hogs, 1900 head.
