middle of the week, this will probably
be the last week of this session of con-
gress, as there is little else in the way
of adjournment.
Nobody in Wa shington is disturbed
to any noticeable extent on account
of the story from Berlin that Ger
many, France and Russia had formed
a combination for the purpose of OPP
posing either the United States or
England taking permanent posses
sion of the PHILIPPINE islands, after the
war is over. In the first place, no.
body believes that such combination
has been formed, but even if it were
officially known to be in existence, it
would not influence this government
in the slightest degree. The final dis
position of the Philippines will be set
tied by this government alone when
the proper time comes, and it will be
settled in accordance with what we
wish, and not what any European
power or powers wish.

DURR0W|NG INTO HILLS
Manila Spaniards Preparing for
the Final Struggle.
STILL SPREADING LIES
The capitalization OF the City May Involve
Much Bloodshed-The Big German
Squadron Expected to Draw
Other Foreign ships.

San Francisco, July 2o.-A Chronicle
special from Cavite. dated June 20. says:
In case of the expected bombardment Of
Manila. the area to which the Spanish
may retire will be limited to the Ameri-
can and insurgent lines surrounding the
city. There may come the struggle, for
the Spaniards have burrowed into in
trenchments and fortified hills and knobs
for the Anal struggle. 1t is known here
that every energy Is bent within the
city to prepare 1t for the final struggle.
The people are exhorted by the clergy
and military authorities and their hopes
are buoyed by false reports as to relief
from Spain and Spanish triumphs in the
West Indies and along the Atlantic
coast.
Augusti is credited with an assertion
hat he can muster $50. 900 troops. No
one seriously believes that he can mar
shal 10000. The city seems as nearly
ready for the conflict as the material in
the hands of the Spanish can make 1T.
The German fleet now here, not count
ing the supply vessels, includes the Cor
morant, Kaiser, Kaiserin Augusta, Irene
and Princess Wilhelma, and their weight
of metal exceeds that Of any other fleet
here.
The British fleet includes the Immor-
talite, Bonaventure inc Rather, but the
presence of so nan Germans is expect
ed to draw other ships.
The French have the Brux and Bas-
cal, and the Japanese the Matsushima.
II lie freely predicted that there will not
be a bloodless equalization of Manila, as
1t is feared that there will be a long n
bloody resistance.
A Chronicle special from Cavite of
June 10 says: One hundred and eight
five wounded Spanish troops went into
Manila tonight under the Red Cross
flag. They were part of the fruits of
the campaign that the rebels have con-
Quoted against Manila for seven weeks
past, and their removal was a relief TO
themselves and their captors.
That many of them lived TO get back
to their beloved Manila lis due almost
entirely to the skill and sacrifice of the
surgeons from the American cruisers

WATSOA's TRIP TO SPAIN
European Journals Want Us to
Reconsider It.
CLAIM IT'S DANGEROUS
a Berlin Newspaper Says 1t Would Be
profound Political Mistake and the
London Chronicle Fears it Would
Lead to Grave Complications.

Berlin. July 21-The Kreuz Neitung
Conservative says: The authorities
at Washington are overrating their
strength. IL would be a profound po-
liticai mistake to send Commodore
Watson to the Spanish coast. Even an
occupation OF n Canaries might lead
to regretable complications. all this
being much more volcanic territory
h the Philippines.
London, July 2l.-The Daily Chronicle
says ed~itorially, this morning: AS
strong supporters and sincere well-wish-
ers OF the United States. we suggest a
reconsideration OF the determination TO
send Commodore Watson to Europe. II
could not materially harm Spain and
would only be likely to reunite the
Spanish into an obstinacy Of endurance
and determination to suffer to all
lengths. Tha is their national charac-
ter. II was that which bafied Napo-
leon. who had land forces to overrun
the whole country. while at every point
an American fleet could touch there
would be danger of European compli-
~cations."

THEY HAVE GOT TOGETHER
Americans and Spaniards Are on
Friendly Terms in Santiago.
BUSINESS Is IMPROVING
Merchants Are Hoping for Large Invest
ments of American Capital-General
Linares' Left Arm Amputated.
Schley Enjoys Shore Leave.

Santiago de Cuba. July 10. 6 p. m.
via Kingston, Jamaica, July 20.-Hun-
dreds of American and Spanish SOL
diers who but a few days g were
shooting at one another, crowded the
streets of Santiago to-day. meeting and
mixing on the most friendly terms.
Stores with gaudy displays of wares
are opening rapidly and store keepers
eagerly accept American money and
courteously receive American custom.
Great barge loads of provisions and
supplies have been unloading all day
from the Red Cross steamer Texas and
the United States army supply ships,
and there is evidence that the priva-
ton is rapidly disappearing. The
Americans are buying swords. medals
and buttons from their late foes.
General Shafter placed a censor in
charge of the cable Office and only gov
eminent dispatches are allowed to be
sent to-day. 1t Is said, however, that
press and commercial dispatches Will
be received, subject to the censor's blue
pencil, soon, probably tomorrow. Mer-
chants say they expect business to re-
vive soon and hope for large invest
ments of American capital within the
next year. General Miles is at Guam
tanamo on the Yale. and is said to be
arranging the details of the Porto
Rican expedition. Most of the ships
of Rear Admiral Simpsons fleet are
also lying in Guantanamo bay. The
New York and Brooklyn spent the day
almost under the shadow of MORO cas-
tie. Commodore Schley, with a part OF
his officers. visited the city this morn
ing. The commodore called on General
McKibben and strolled about the
streets, making several purchases and
apparently greatly enjoying shore
leave. He was received with great re-
spect by the Spanish officers who
learned his name. The wound Of GEN.
eral Linares' is much more serious than
reported. His left arm has been m
putated and tonight he is in a serious
condition..
