AMERICAN RULE IN MANILA.

London. Aug % The Manila correspondent
of The Daily Telegraph" in dispatch dated
Sunday. says
General Merritt has proclaimed govern
ment Of military occupation The news Of the
armistice arrived on the 10TH.
1T is feared that the Americans may restore
the Philippines 70 Spain. and thus relnaugurate
a fresh period OF tyranny, extortion and re-
bellion The Spanish guarantees for freedom OF
the press and religion and for just administra-
ton are useless unless under foreign super
vision.
The Americans found $SOOOOO in the Spanish
treasury.
The unfinished message which sent you last
Saturday was dispatched while street firing was
stnl proceeding. This proved TO be the solitary
Incident. II arose from the fact that the Span
:ards in the suburbs were not aware that the
surrender had taken place.
Foreign opinion IS loud In praise Of the
action Of the American commanders in exclud-
ing armed rebels from the city. There is good
reason to believe that their hrnness saved
hanila from pillage
A week ago there appeared 10 be a posi-
oIity Of collision with the rebels. but there is
no danger now. Everything is quiet"

and To rest satisfied in her Mediterranean In
forests which still give her influence in all

Power is practically unchanged. The cause OF

ENGLAND ASKS SPAIN TO EXPLAIN.

Madrid. Aug. 21-In an interview last night
n member Of the Cabinet said that England had
presented note to Spain asking for explana-

erected by Spain near Gibraltar which. the note
declares. are unjustifed in View OF the good
relations existing between the two countries.
London. Aug. 22.-"The Daily Mails" Madrid
correspondent says:
"Englands remonstrance against the erection
OF fortihcations 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 refused. and 1t is sup
posed that England resented this. because
shortly afterward she sent the Madrid Govern
rnent a note containing questions and observa-
tions regarding the fortifcations and intimating
that they were a menace to Gibraltar.
Spain answered that she could likewise con-

THE RELEASED CHINESE.

She decision OF Chief Justice Judd
In releasing the Chinese immigrants,
detained on the ground that they have
not complied with the laws of the
United States, as a condition precedent
to landing, will be regarded by the
authorities in Washington as forcible
and perhaps conclusive.
The Act OF Annexation made new
law, but provided no way OF enforcing
Il. The question now raised was not
contemplated by the authors OF the act.
II is one Of those which are within the
jurisdiction OF the Federal courts, and
there are no Federal courts here. Nor
are there any Federal officials who
have authority to deprive any persons
Of their liberty. 1t is a case Of decided
.y imperfect legislation.
our court was forced to take cogni-
zancn Of the case, because it involved
our own municipal laws. But the court
could not speak for the Federal Gov
eminent. It followed strictly, however,
the rules declared by the Supreme
Court OF the United States, in cases
analogous though not in all respects
similar.
The opinion Of our court is not in
conflict with any rulings of the higher
Federal courts, but simply declares
that an order Of the Treasury Depart
ment is not binding on our courts. No
doubt. the officials Of that department
will assent to the opinion, because 1t
seems to be legal and just.
1t is fortunate that the opinion Is
clear and we'll considered.
