IDENTITY OF
THE VESSEL

Up to the hour when left the Ameri-
can feet Rear Admiral Sampson had been
unabls to determine definite ly the identity
Of the vessel sunk by the. Oreson's 1O0J
pound she'll. There is little gu estion
however that she was the destroyer Ter
ror.
1t is unlikely that either of the torpedo
boats with Admiral Cervera's warships
In Santiago harbor renewed the attempt
90 attack the American fleet by night,
even II these small craft were able to pass
the wreck of the hIerrimnc. The moon
was high, q fact that would have un-
doobtedly deferred Cervera from riskinR
the loss Of either CT his torpedo boats.
The vessel which the Oregon sunk was
approaching Santiago Han Dor from the
eastward, and her course was the one she
would follow In coming from San Juan
to rejoin tho Spanish teet The Terror
was last heard from at Por to kico on Mon
day 30. 1t was said then that the destroyer
was disabled and had gone to Ban Juan
for repairs.

He ridiculed the suggestion that the
Philippine insurgents could be induced
by the Spsniards TO form an alliance
against the United States. The natives,
he declared, would welcome any power
which would relieve them from the domi-
nation OF Spain. He did not, however,
seem to place much confidence IN the
good faith Of the revolut!onists, and in
cidentally remarked that he mad knowl-
edge that more one native insurrection

them through the importation of troops
into the islands to suppress the rebellion.
CAUSE OF THE REVOLT.
Under proper treatment the islands,
although consisting OF several different
races, would be entirely tractable. The
greatest difficulties the United States
would encounter in managing the islands
would come from the religious orders,
which had been accustomed TO squeeze
the natives, and had accumulated much
valuable property. The present insurrec-
tIon was az much an uprising againat the
church as against the government, and
was conducted by secret society which
had teen organized to oppose the priestss
. sort OF Free Masonry which had spresd
throughout the islands.

London, June 1.-Whatever may be the
policy of the United States toward the
Philippine:Islands,th the English capitalists
whose investments there give them the
right to speak with authority upon the
conditions and needs OF the colony, are of
one mind. Delegations of London men,
representing some of the most important
interests in the Philippines, have called
upon Ambassador Hay to urge him to
make representations to the government
of their desire that the United States re-
tain possessi ion OF the Philippine Islands.
They are agreed inthe belief that with the
guarantee OF stable government the
philippines would become q richer, and
even more desirable possession than Cuba.
They agree also upon the statement that
Spanish rule il one which discourages
business enterprises and repels capital,
and that the legitimate profits OF their
business are mostly absorbed by direct
aud indirect bribes to Spanish officials.
Without liberal investments to secure the
favor of the ruling class, these gentlemen
tell the ambassador that no business oper-
ations can be conducted under the regime
of Spain. The position of the Philippine
capitalists Is one which prevents them
from making public declaration of their
views. Should The, islands remain under
Spanish sovereignty. thss government
might make conditions burdensome for
business men who were on record az de-
siring Q change, and who had made reve-
lntions about Spanish mis-ruls. They can
make known their desires only throug b
