From Manila.

MANILA, Nov. 1.-THE .. 8. cruiser
Charleston and the gunboat Concord,
have returned here from Iloilo. They re-
port the situation of the Spaniards there
as critical. The insurgents are attack
ing Molo, and Jaro, large villages adia-
cent to Iloilo, where are located the
Spanish outworks for the defense Of
the capital. The insurgents completely
surrounded Iloilo, stopping all traffic
with the interior of the island of Panay.
Tne negroes have risen and the revolu-
ton is gaining strength daily through
out the Visayas. There is more trouble
for Aguinaldo in the northern part of
the island of Luzon. Two provinces
are in revolt against the Tagallo gov
ernors and demand that Aguinaldo ap-
point officials from their tribes. Six
thousand men armed with insurgant
rifles are supporting the revolt. The
revenue cutter McCulloch, the frat
ship OF Admiral Dewey's battle squad
ron to leave, has started for he me
The other ships gave her great send

METHODIST CONFERENCE.

The Methodisls of Virginia began
their one hundred and sixteenth an
nual conference at Portsmouth yester.
day. Lay and clerical delegates from
every part of the State are present.
Bishop r K Hargroves presided. The
first days session was consumed with
the reading of reports, the appointment
of com mittees, and other routine mat
ters. The bishop congratulated the
conference on the Furnishing condition
of the church. The presiding elders
delivered their reports. The number
of regular ministers now in the confer
ence is 254. There are 80 undergrad
yates.
The secretary's report OF the commit.
tee on church extension showed collec-
tons for the year to be S56, 900; loans,
$4,000. Report of the publishing
house showed assets to be $685. 900; liza
bilities, IS 800. The board of misslona'
fifty-second annual report showed re-
ceipts from all sources 81, OF 900, and q
satisfactory condition throughout the
world. 10 answer to question 20, "Are
all the preachers of blameless life ?"
the presiding elders made favorable re-
plies.
Many believe it will be an unusually
interesting session for several reasons,
one of which is that the Methodist
Book Concern matter will very proba-
bly, be thoroughly ventilated. Another
case which may come to an issue is that
of DR.. Paul Whitehead, of Richmond,
VS.. Rev. Jas. Cannon, jr., OF Blackstone,
editor of the Recorder and president
of the Blackstone Female Institute.
DR.. Whitehead will, it is said, ask
for a trial of Rev. Mr.. Cannon for at

MORE OFFICERS RESIGN.

All of the white officers of the Sixth
colored regiment of Virginia have re-
signed, except three. These are Col.
Croxton and two lieuteDants. The lat
ter are on detail duty aud, therefore,
do not come in coutact with the color
ed soldiers. AS was expected the
designations of Captains Moore and
Bentley have beea followed by those
of sill other white officers, except those
referred to. Letters received in Rich
mond state that things were made so
unpleasant that they could not remain
with the negro regiment. One of the
writer's. a captain, says he is sick of bis
lob. Governor Tyler will probably see
Secretary Alger in connection with the
trouble in the Sixth regiment. He is
not dispofed to appoint more colored
officers. Il is possible that this trouble
NAV result in having the command
mustered out of service. The white
officers took their action at the sugges-
ton of Colonel Crcxtor, who satisfied
himself that the men would not submit
with any degree of cheerfulness to hav-
ING white officers over them. The
re5igpation of the white officers will be
received by the negroes with great
pleasure.

Tois sudden termination OF the Empe-
ror's tour has caused surprise and
speculation. The reason given that
Wilhelm decided on this course is be.
cause he feared the cool temperature
now prevailing in the Mediterranean
that might effect the health of the EN-
press. This is looked upon as diplo-
matte fiction.

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

The Spanish peace comm ission yes.
terday asked the American commission
ers to submit to srbitia,io the mean
ing OF the Philippine clause in the
peace protocol. This proposal was
submitted with the protestation that it
was made simply because of the great
desire of Spain to bring negotiations to
an amicable issue. In signifying their
willingness to submit the Philippine
article of the protocol to third party
for construction, the Spanish commits
sioners urged that, as there is
obviously difference of opinion re-
garding the phrase, 1.-THE control, dis
position, and government of the Phil
lippines," probably the result of mis-
understanding, the Spaniards should nc
more be asked to surrender their view
than the Americans to surrender theirs.
AS the peace commission at Paris has
adjourned until Saturday the apprehen-
sions of rupture will remain in abey.
ance until that date ataDy rate. There
is still confident feeling in official cir.
Giles in Washington that Spain will
finally give in, but if not the mailed
hand of war will not be long in con-
straining her.
It was reported in Washington last
night that message was sent just be-
fore noon yesterday to the American
Commissioners at Paris, instructiDg
them to take and maintain, without re-
gard to consequences, the position that
"Spain's sovereignty over the Phillip
pines has ceased, and, therefore, could
not. from the standpoint of this gov
ernment, be further considered, or sub
mitted to arbitration, as the Spanish
com missioners proposed.
The cable dispatch to Paris stated
further, in effect, that the peace nego-
tiations, so far as the Philippines are
concerned, would be considered at an
end at the next meeting of the commits
si)re s. on Stature az. In other words,
Spain would be expected to make an
