Spanish flag Is still peacefully fluttering
here Gen. Brooke is expected daily to
arrive from the American lines. bat he

Yesterday 1t was reported that the
cruiser New Orleans. the auxiliary cruis-
er Wasp and a collier were coming into
the inner harbor. but the report proved
erroneous.
Nothing has yet been seen of any
American vessels
The entire absence of any evidence OF
the American flag rs the subject of much
criticism and some uneasiness here.
The popuIace is fully confident about
the future of the island.
IF the Americans are victorious, they
ask, why do we not see them?"
The German cruiser Geier sailed from
here this morning. Her officers inspect

of the Spaniards. This incident is also
the subject of comment
The Americans are being criticised for
their apparent lack Of energy

him that ne had been advised by the
Navy Department at Washington to hold
himself in readiness to return home by
tho quickest route for the purpose of con-
fsrring with President Mckinley on the
Philippines question.
Admiral Dewey cabled, in reply. giving
the fullest possible information and also
giving his views on the subject.
He suggested to Secretary Long that
the Importance of the situation required
him to remain here. where there is much
work yet to do.
He thinks that his squadron should be
augmented in strength. and he, therefore.
requested Secretary Long to dispatch
battleship and an armored cruiser to

American situation.
ASu1EuluO says ne ~
Aguina!do told a prominent American
officer yesterday that the condition of ap-
parent opposition TO the Americans was
personally exceedingly distasteful-
His conservatism, he added, had already
subjected him to the suspicion OF some
of the more impetuous leaders, who de-
sired action against the Americans. He
recognized that American friendship was
essential to the best interests of the FIJI
ipinos.

WAR BREVITIES.

There will be no change in the collection OF
the war revenue tax on stocks, as was reported
in New York Saturday. The report stated that
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue Scott was
about to issue a ruling that the tax Of cents
on each 800 share of stock was to be collected
on the market value Instead of from the par
value. Commissioner Scott said there was no
truth in the report.

Francisco Saturday with troops for Manila car

at Cavite and Manila under command of Mai. Gen

under command of Lieut. A. p Hayne. was
placed over the money.

Preserve the Forests.

fFrom the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune)
Already lumber company has been formed
to explore the rich forests of mahogany and
rosewood with which Porto Rico abounds. Ana
there is danger right here that those in charge
will commence to denude the forests OF their
wealth Just as the forests of this country have
been stripped in times past. It will be one of the
first duties Of Congress TO see that this form OF
wealth in the new possessions is not TO be handled
nv yandals and without restriction. II We, as
nation, fail to utilize the experience gained We
deserve to pay dearly for lumber in generations
to come
