SPANISH CABINET
Has Decided to Make Representa-
tions Of Insurgents Conduct.

MADRID. Aug. 21, 10 p. NIT is
stated that the Cabinet has decided to
make representations to the Washing
ton Government regarding the conduct
Of the insurgents in continuing to at
tack Spanish detachments.
It also agreed to repay repatriated
soldiers their arrears in salary when
they land in Spain, and resolved to
purchase 250,0O0 kilos Of silver for
coinage.
The question of the personnel of the
peace commission has not yet been def
initely decided. The Government is dis
pleased with the attitude of Captains
Generals Macias and Blanco. The lat
ter has again positively declined to pre-
side over the evacuation of Cuba. The
Captain General of the Canary Islands
was removed, owing to his failing to
agree with the War Minister'S arrange
ments regarding the disposition of
troops.
Owing to the censorship there are
conflicting reports regarding the real
attitude of the Carlists. 1t is under
stood that Spain has afforded England
satisfactory explanation regarding
the Notifications being erected near
Gibraltar, asserting that they were only
being constructed in view of the expect
ed American aggressions. The good re-
lations Of the two Governments, it is
declared, have not been disturbed.

both Government and public
opinion seem in doubt as to
what line shall be taken by Spain
in the forthcoming negotiations. Much
will depend, of course, on the attitude
assumed by the United States Govern
ment and consequently the conflicting
currents of American public opinion
are watched here with keenest interest
The attitude of the Powers having far
eastern interests is also much specu-
lated upon. 1t is believed Germany will
not allow great territorial changes
without having something to say
therein.
1.-The Ministers still declare that Off
cial dispatches respecting the capitula-
tion of Manila have not been received;
therefore the Augusti incident is unex-

Mail advices confirm the transfer
ence of administrative authority from

had remained in Manila, had, in the

between the rebels at Wuchow and the
imperial Chinese troops, in which the
former were victorious. Over i 800 of
the troops We're slain and their bodies
thrown into the river.
The Dosing, under Captain Tholeman,
was engaged to take about 1000 Chi
nese troops to the scene of the rebel
lion.
From the time the Dosing left Canton
until she reached Wuchow, some 200
miles up the river, Captain Tholeman
had trouble with his crew, the Chinese
sympathizing with the rebels One, a
comprador, began melting them to
mutiny, and the Captain alleges that
in self-defense he was compelled to
shoot the man. The comprador died
from his wound the next day.
Captain Tholeman was placed under
arrest and as soon as the opportunity
offered was sent down the river to Can
ton. On his journey he was confined
in an iron cage, and on arrival was
placed in the British jail
On account of the claim of American
citizenship made by Thoeman, there is

HONGKONG, Aug. 21.-Oficers of

Americans, was merely nominal, and
was made solely to maintain the honor
of Spain. The officers talked with ex-

ranged and was we'll understood by Ad-

on the American side during the attack
upon and capture of Manila was forty
six and the wounded about 100 The
Spanish losses were 300 killed and 400
wounded. The fire of the Americans
did practically no damage to the town
nor to the -combatants. The Amer
leans had considerable difficulty in
keeping the insurgents out of the city,
only admitting those who were without
weapons.
Five insurgents were shot while loot

came involved in quarrel with a
Spaniard in the Escolto, in the Binoon-

LONDON, Aug. q. The Daily
Nails Madrid correspondent says:
England's remonstranee against the
erection of Notifications in course Of
building at Sierra Carbonera. opposite
Gibraltar, was the result of a little
diplomatic skirmish. Some time ago
England offered Spain her good offices
in the American conflict. Spain re-
fused, and it is supposed that England
resented this, because shortly after
ward she sent the Madrid Government a
note containing questions and observa-
tions regarding the Notifications and
intimating that they We're menace to
Gibraltar.
Spain answered that she could like
wise consider the fortification of Glib
raltar as menace to the neighboring
Spanish territory, and sustained the
right of every nation to build its de-
fenses on it's frontiers. This, Spain de-
clared, had been done on a great scale
on the Pyrenees, with France protest.

Spain Wants to Retain the Build
ings and Public Works,
Thinks That in Framing the Protocol Nc
KinIey Aimed to Keep a Free Hand
in kdoptinga a Policy in
the Philippines.

LONDON, Aug. 22-The "Times"
correspondent in Madrid says: "A
committee consisting of Duke Almod-
ovar de Rio, the Foreign Minister;
Senor Romero Giron, Minister of the
Colonies; Lieutenant General Correa,
Minister of War, and Captain Aunon,
Minister of Marine, is preparing in
structions for the Cuban and Porto
Rico Commissioners, which will be dis
patched ON August 31st, so as to arrive
within the time fixed by the protocol.
In these instructions attention will
be called tol the distinction between ces-
sion of territory and cessiQn of sover-
eignty. In the latter case it seems to
be maintained here that buildings and
public works will remain the property
Of the sovereign Power until they are
paid for by the Government
Certain members of the Cabinet are
of the opinion that the committee will
have first of all to determine some
legal and administrative modus vivendi
during the transitional period until the
evacuation is completed. Meanwhile,
the Government will probably call the
attention of the Cabinet ct Washing
ton to the fact that while the, insurgent
leaders profess to accept the armistice,
their subordinates continue to carry
on hostilities against outlying Spanish
garrisons.
while the Government thus devotes
its attention for moment chiefly to
questions of detail relating to the An
titles, much anxiety is felt with, regard
to the Philippines question, which is
likely to create much more serious diff
fculties. On this subject very little
guidance is afforded by the >studiously
vague terms employed in the protocol
These words have been carefully ex-
anined with the aid of all available
dictionaries not only by Spanish Min
listers, but also by the diplomatic rep
resentatives of several foreign Powers
and all seemed agreed that in drafting
this part of the protocol, President Nc
Kinley's aim was simply to keep a free
hand for himself until he should have
time to collect information and decide
what policy the United States should
adopt in the Far East. All possible
questions regarding the future of the
archipelago are thus left open, and
