AN APPEAL TOU.S.
From Natives and British
ers In the Philippines.
Against More of Spanish Authority.
What Retention Of Her Sove-
reignty Surely Means.

LONDON, July 22-Natives Of the Phil
ippine Islands and British subjects hav-
ing interests there are alarmed by the
reports that the peace terms include the
return Of these islands TO Spain. As a
result they held a meeting here after
consultation with the Philippines in
France and Belgium, and cabled 10 Pres
ident Mckinley and Senator Davis. chair
man OF the Foreign Relations committee.
The message TO President Mckinley is
as follows:
philippines resident in Europe pray
YOU not 10 abandon the Philippine islands
for the sake of peace with Spain. our
loyalty and we trust the honor of Amer
leans. entities us 10 your consideration
and support. To hand over our country
again 10 Spain is contrary TO the human
itarian proceedings OF your noble nation
and the wish of all classes. Civilization,
trade and honor VIII all be lost if the
Spanish authorities are re-established in
any form.
The message to Senator Davis says:
A cast iron agreement binding Spain
20 form d Government satisfactory to the
inhabitants is preposterous. To retain
her sovereignty means deception, oppres-
sion and bigotry. We place our rights in
your hands and pray YOU to induce the

WASHINGTON, May 11.-There is rea.
son to believe that the further in
structions sent to Rear Admiral Dewey,
via the dispatch boat McCulloch, which
returned to Manila from Hong Kong,
required him Immediately to destroy
any other vessels Or fortifcutions which
Spain has in the Philippines.
1t is appreciated by the authorities
that Rear Admiral Dewey has destroyed
every Spanish vessel of any Importance
i'll the far East, but it is admitted to be
possible that Spain still has among the
islands some small gunboats, mounting
one or two guns, which it would be wise
to sink or capture. There are also some
antiquated Notifications at Ilolo and
one or two other points, which one
cruiser could destroy without much
difficulty. Probably one or two of the
vessels of his fleet is now cruising among
the Philippine Islands, engaged in re-
ducing the Notifications and in destroy.
ing or capturing the enemy's ships.

graphed to Mare Island navy yard the

Hong Kong View of the Dispatch OF

Hone Kong, May II. A rumo,
has been cabled here that 5000 Ameri
.. can troops were assembling at San
Francisco for service in Manila.
l interviewed today gentleman
familiar with the situation in the
Philippines, who says that the United
States could not do more useless
thing than to send small force of
troops there.
''Ihe plague he says, lis rampant at
Canton, and growing in virulence at
Hong Kong, where more Europeans
have been attacked this year than ever
before. The Manila climate will be the
death OF more than half of those sent
out here inside of four months. Be.
sides, they will be of little use. Five
thousand troops are not enough to take
the field against the Spaniards, if the
latter are able to fight at all, and if the
Spaniards are overwhelmed by the in
surgents the American soldiers are not
needed to do garrison work. That
number would be absurdly inadequate
If the United States had the idea of oc.
cupying the Philippines permanently.
No troops should be sent there until
autumn, when not less than 5000 men
should be landed at Manila. Unac-
climated recruits will die like flies dur

Considerable cycling is carried on in
the neighborhood of Gibraltar, Spain
Notwithstanding the mountainous char
acter Of the country.
Bicycle tires are to be made OF fiber;
treated with parat1in and silicate to
render II impervious to water, rolled
into sheets and crimped to make il
resilient after it is rolled up to form
! the tire.
An Englishman has designed an ap-
paratus for determining the proper ad-
Justine mt of the saddle, pedals and ham
die bar of a bicycle, thus enabling apur-
chaser to get the right size of frame
without trnl on the road.
Bicycles can be fitted with new
pavement cleaning device to keep the
wheel from getting muddy which Is
made of cylinder brush held in 3
frame ahead of the front wheel and
geared to the axle to revolve and sweep
the street as the wbeelman rides along.
Another wise cyclist is the one who
Knows his own tools. Manufacturers
furnish tool bags according to the Pc
culiarlties of the wheels they make, and
the rider who knows what sort of
wrenches, spanners, ETC., are intended
for special use on the machine he rides
may at times find the knowledge val
liable. ..
A cycle which has two seats, one OF
which gradually sinks under the weight
CT the rider while the other rises empty
is the latest thing described. After the
loaded seat gets to its lowest point the
rider climbs to the other, and again
utilizes his weight to help propel the
machine. s.
Fashionable bootmakers for lady
cyclists say that only two classes OF
riders are buying high boots now-the
very stout and the very angular; and
such customers want their boots made
of the thinnest kid, with light, flexible
soles and moderately high heels, which
