OUR OFFICIALS ANXIOUS
Over the Attitude of Aguinaldo's
Forces in the Philippines.

Over the Attitude of Aguinaldo's
Forces in the Philippines.
Washington, Aug. S.-Officials make
no concealment of their apprehension OF
trouble to follow the execution of our
program in regard to the Philippines.
The reports of the military and naval
commanders of late have contained
warnings of expected conflicts with the
insurgents, and no surprise will be
felt at the receipt of news of an out
break at almost any moment. The
United States government feels that
it has assumed a moral obligation to-
wards not only the foreign residents at
Manila, but towards the unprotected
classes of the Spanish community
women, children, nuns and priests.
Therefore when intimation came that
the insurgents were threatening the
lives of some helpless monks orders
were sent to the American military
commander to look into the matter ana
to act in the interest of civilization and
humanity. AS, according to the report,
the insurgents have shown particular
hostility towards the monks, 1t is
reasonable expectation that before long
a collision will have occurred between
themselves and the American troops if
the latter undertake to interfere in the
execution of the vengeance OF the in
surgents.

Evidently Hope to Soften Our De-

Washington, Aug. AFTER con
ference on the peace question lasting
for Just an hour yesterday afternoon
between the president and M. Cambon,
the French ambassador, the latter act
ing as the representative of Spain, Sec
rotary Day emerged from the White
House and announced that the con-
ference was inconclusive. wherefore
the parties to it had agreed to say moth
ing publicly as to what had occurred.
The secretary did not appear to be dis
couraged as he made this statement,
though he admitted that no time had
been set for another conference. From
this it is gathered that the long eX-
pected answer of the Spanish govern
ment to the presidents note, upon be-
ing received, had turned out to be just
as 1t was expected, either counter
proposition or a request for fuller
statement in detail upon some of the
heads of the presidents note.
On the assumption that peace is near
at hand, some attention is being given
to the steps by which this may be
brought about formally, and the meas
ures necessary to be adopted immed-
ately afterwards. 1t is said to be not
at all improbable that the prelimi-
aries leading up to the signature of
the treaty of peace may consume fully
three months so that It may be well
along towards the legal date of the
assembly of congress before the presi-
dent will be prepared to submit peace
treaty to tie senate. This allowance
of time is rather moderate than excess
sive. The United States was two years,
from 1881 to 1883, in arranging peace
with Great Britain to terminate the
revolutionary war And in the case
of the Chinese-Japanese war 1t was
several months before the commission
ers were able to perfect the treaty of
Shimonisaki, which terminated that
war.

The woes or Rovn,tv.

London, Aug. 4.-There appears TO be
some mystery in connection with the
departure of the Princess of Wales for
Copenhagen. 1t is semi officially re-
affirmed that her leaving England is
due to the illness OF her mother, the
queen of Denmark. but two denials
of her majesty's illness have been re-
ceived from Copenhagen and rumors
are current that the princess has had
another disagreement with the Prince
of Wales, similar to the quarrel which
took the princess abroad for some
months in 1898. She then threatened
to summon a family council to meet
at Copenhagen and to expose the whole
domestic situation

LOYAL PORTO RICANS.

Ponce, Porto Rico, via st. Thomas,
Aug. 4-If there are any loyal Span
iards in Porto Rico the Americans have
not found them. Everywhere the Yam
kee soldiers go the Porto Ricans greet
them with cheers and, after the man
ner Of the country, hug them. There
was report that there were some
Spanish soldiers at Juana Diaz. and
four companies of the Sixteenth Penn
sylvania regiment were sent to find
them. Couriers announced the coming
of the Americans to the people of the
town, and a brass band came out to
greet them. All of the citizens were
assembled on the outskirts of the town
and as the Yankee volunteers appeared
on the road the band played Yankee
Doodle" and other patriotic American
airs. while the people cried Viva los
Americanos."
Many had presents of cigars. cigar
cites, tobacco. and bananas and other
fruit. with which they loaded down the
soldiers and insisted upon taking the
visitors to their homes and making
them welcome.
Besides the towns already reported,
nine others have sfgnified their delight
at the coming of the Americans. These
towns are Arroyo. SacilIas, Yiabucoa,
Salinas, Santa Isabel Adjuntas, Penu-
elias, Guayamala and Guayamo.
At Guayamo our soldiers found a
bigger reception than that which was
given them at Juana Diaz. The large
Spanish garrison had been ordered out
of town by the citizens and the Amer
lean flag was waving over the public
buildings and not a man in the town
had opposed it's being raised. The
bands were playing American airs and
the men and women fell upon their
knees and worshipped our soldiers. The
mayor made a speech, in which he
said that the day of deliveranee Of
Porto Rico had come. The enthusiasm
of the people was unbounded.

PHILADELPHIA,S BIG STORM.
The Heaviest FAN OF Rain i'm the His

The Heaviest Fall Of Rain in the His
tory OF the CITY.
Philadelphia, Aug, 4-Philadelphia
was visited yesterday by most ter
rife electrical storm and the heaviest
downfall of rain that has ever occurred
in this city Two men lost their lives
and several fires were started by light
ming and great damage was done 10
property throughout the city by the
heavy rain.
Peter Schen, aged Is years was
drowned in the cellar Of his home. He
was in the cellar removing some goods
when he was caught by a sudden rise
in the water. Before Schell could reach
the stairway he was drowned. The
other victim was William Nobel, aged
is years, who was instantly killed by
lightning while driving horse
In all about six fires were started by
lightning, the biggest Of which was at
Gibson's Point. in the extreme south
western section OF the city. The light
ming there struck one Of the Atlantic
Refining companys big oil tanks. The
flames soon communicated TO a second
tank. and before the fire could be exc
tinguished $50, 900 worth OF damage had
been done.
In one hour and fifty minutes. the
duration of the storm. five and one-half
inches of rain fell breaking all previous
records. The heaviest previous precipi-
taticn on record was In 1887 when FIVE
and one-tenth inches of rain fell in "a
hours
The damage done by the heavy rain
fall win run up TO may thousands or
dollars In every section of the city
the cellars and the first floors OF many
buildings were flooded. the sewers be-
ing totally inadequate to carry on the
water. The Easements of the city hall
and postoffice buildings were inundated
to such an extent that fire engines had
to be employed to get the water out
The street railway service was prac-
ticaily at standstill for time. in
many streets the water reached depth
of over foot.

pines to Be Decided by Joint Peace
Commission.
London, Aug "A special from
Madrid says: Spain accepts the prin-
cipal conditions of peace as set forth
by the American government, and only
the peace details are needed to cause
all hostilities to cease at once. A
peace delegation will be chosen at once
to confer with representatives of the
United States. The peace conditions
set forth by President Mckinley were
discussed at length yesterday by Min
lister Sagasta, and at the conclusion
it was given out officially that the
terms of the United States would be
accepted. There are one or two amend
ments in the proposition of the United
States that Spain will ask to be maue,
and If this is done peace will be de-
clared at once.
The Daily News Madrid correspond
ent telegraphs: The censorship is daily
becoming more severe, and little is
known beyond the fact that peace is
assured. 1t is understood that the note
from America asks only part of the
Philippines, and that Senior Sagasta,
having replied that the terms will be
accepted. hostilities are consequently
suspended A commission will be APP
pointed to determine the basis of peace.
The chief difficulty, it is asserted in
official circles. is as to the date and
manner of the evacuation of the Span
ish possessions.
There is also the question of the dis
posal of the war material in Cuba
Senior Sagasta, if he has chance,
will probably represent a restitution
of the material as a diplomatic We
tory. 1t has just been asserted here
that the premier has succeeded in OBJ
tanning slightly improved terms. The
treaty will not be signed before Sep
TENDER.
The governments reply to the Amer
lean peace terms left here MONDAY
evening. The government believes
that the nature of the negotiations re-
quires the greatest secrecy and that
their success will depend upon the OBJ
servance of the most absolute reserve
here. Official silence, therefore, is
complete.
With regard to the part played in
the negotiations by NJ Cambon, the
French ambassador at Washington,
there is now marked tendency both
here and in Paris to attribute to it
considerable Importance Directly the
final agreement is made it is supposed
the press will be allowed more liberty
of comment The general impression
is that both governments are disposed
to put an end to the war as honorably
as possible for SPAIN which would
have been easier had the United States
not imposed such hard conditions with
regard to the Philippines.

groans were fearful to hear during the
