LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Madrid cor.
respondent of The Daily News says that
Generals Blanco, Castelanos and Leon
and Admiral Manterola have been ap-
pointed commissioners for Cuba and
Generals Nacias and Ortega and Ad-
miral Vallarino fer Porto Rico. IT is
probable the correspondent says that
Senior Leon y Castillo. the Spanish en-
bassador to France, win preside at the
sessions Of the Paris commission. Seno1
Morets candidature is made impossible
by the hostile attitude of the press.
The Daily Mails Biarritz correspond
ent says
"A manifasto by Don Carlos is an
nounced to appear shortly. The Span
ish ministers assert that the pretender
win not be able TO find enough money
to run a revolution and Will be forced
TO postpone the rising until next spring.
There are signs, however, that Don
Carlos will not wait so long. Meanwhile
the Spanish government viii increase
its precautions to prevent any outbreak

vents the publication of the fact, il
cannot keep it secret that small armed
bands are appearing and disappearing
daily in various parts Of Spain, show
ing a general state OF fermentation
born Of impatience with the present
condition Of things The work % fa-
natical Republicans and Carlists is help
ed by the general misery and by the
prevailing irritation against the gov
ernment.
'Within the last few days a carabi-
neer post near Suez, in the province Of
Valencia, has been attacked by a band
OF armed men and the corporal of cara
bineers and one civilian seriously
wounded. II is stated that the carab-
neers had opposed the landing Of arms
during the night from a barge near
Tarragona. The civil guard arrested
four men who were carrying - old
guns.
"The Castillon band still continues It's

in numbers during the last few days

/ The Madrid correspondent Of The
Standard says:
"SNain and her continental patrons
still hope that the United States may
be induced not to take advantage Of the
conquest Of Manila. but will be satis-
fed with coaling stations, trading priv
ileges, etc. Should the retention of Ma
nia be insisted upon. the United States
may meet more trouble even than Ja-
pan did in securing the results OF her
victory over China and at the hands Of
the same powers"
The Vienna correspondent of The
Times says:
THE development Of the Philippines

/ keenest interest. Circumstances appear
to point to the retention of the islands
by America. The fact that Senator Da-
Wis, who is a public advocate of COM
plete annexation, and Secretary of State
Day, a supporter of the Hawaiian pol
icy, are appointed commissioners is re-
garded as indicating that President Nc
| Kinley favors their retention. 1t is
acknowledged that President Mckinley
has hitherto manifested exceptional dip
lomatic tact in his treatment both Of
the Spanish government and of public
opinion in the United States. He con-
Quoted the negotiations with such fore-
sight and consideration that the Madrid
cabinet has been able gradually to ac-
custom the population to the inevitable
sacrifices imposed by the outcome of the
war;

cluding that possibility or at least some
approximation to the growing demands
of the American people. The prospect
of a partition of China is likely to con.
