AGUINALDO Is NOW DICTATOR.
He Declares Martial Law Over all
the Islands

Washington, July 24.-The following
cablegram was received at the war de-
partment:
Hongkong, July %. Secretary of
the Navy: Following is for the score
tary of war: TO the Adjutant General:
AguinaldO declares dictatorship 8nd
martial law over all the islands. The
people expect Independence Recon-
mend Chinese ponies. Anderson.
Gen. Anderson was the senior amy
officer at the Philippines when the dis
patch was sent, probably several Jaws
before the Hongkong date.
The dispatch gave the cabinet food
for consideration at their regular
meeting. There was no disposition to
force any issue with the insurgeat
chief at this time, hut it is pratty well
understood that he will not be al
lowed TO commit the United States
government in the future treatment OF
the Philippine question. The visit of
the German ambassador TO the IreSl-
dent and TO the secretary of state was
Il basis for belief that he had called
TO make some representation on that
subject, and, perhaps. rs veil on the
question of peace rs affected by tie
programme laid down hy Watson's
projected voyage to European waters.
If so no official confirmation was OBJ
tainable, and II friendly visit was
the only explanation offered by Secre-
tary Day for the appearance of the
German ambassador in the dog days
in Washington. The embassy people
were no more communicative. so that
If any thing of importance passed dur
ing the meeting il will probably be re-
vealed only in the shape of action
later on. 1t would not be surprising
If it should develop that strong Euro
pean influences are being brought to
bear to dissuade the navy department
from dispatching Watson's fleet To
Europe. But so far they appear TO
have been Intellectual, for ii is official
Nv stated that the departure Of the
squadron is only delayed, not aban-

The reference in Gen. AnderSon's
dispatch to Chinese ponies means that

According to musical authority, the
mooing Of a cow Is set to perfect fifth,
octave or tenth; the bark of dog to a
fourth or fifth; the neighing OF horse
is a descent on the chromatic scale;
while the donkey brays in a perfect oc-
tave. Yet it is thought that the quail
ty of the donkey's voice might be i'm
proved! Possibly the timbre of the
violin might be represented by the
squeal of the pig; but fine ear de-
tects difference.

1t is too much to expect that Jo-
seph Letters reverses will bring him TO
poverty and want; but he ought to see
the time when a penny additional on
a loaf OF bread means suffering for
himself If for no other member of his
family. His enterprise is cruel, and it
ought to be Illegal. Happily, there are
a few good lessons in the experiences
of men who corner grain and who have
come to grief; but it is impossible TO
present them satisfactorily in view of
the successes OF some even larger deal
ers whose millions have descended to
their posterity through several gen
erations.

said in general that the prospects for
American trade in China are bright.
Locomotives. machinery and mining
plants have been largely imported dur
ing the past year. Manufacturers are
taking occasion TO be represented here
by competent agents. II Is believed that

from any other country. The era Of
railroad building has come for China,

A few years ago, when disastrous
cyclone swept over a portion Of Hi
nois. contributions for relief were
promptly sent in to the amount OF
two hundred thousand dollars. In
Auril last, Just as the war was breakin..
out. another part Of the same state was
devastated by a food, which caused
still greater damage and suffering; out
the public mind was preoccupied, and
the call for aid brought hardly twenty
five thousand dollars. One such fact
illustrates a whole situation. II is a
true patriotism which warns us not to
allow the excitement of foreign conflict
to lead to the neglect of duties and
interests which lie nearer home.

1T is believed here says Wash,
ington dispatch that the war will last
a year" How should Washington know
more about this thing than New York
or any other commercial and political
center? The war may last a year, or
two years. The work Of getting ready
for war takes a long time. But Spain
cannot last year under existing con-
ditions; and one or two United States
victories, such as are liable TO occur
any day, would settle the matter SO
Car as actual fighting is concerned.
