HAS GERMANY LANDED MARINES ?
Statement from London That She Has Put
in Her Oar at Manila.

London, June 23.-The Daily News
publishes a statement, alleged to come
from correspondent having access to
good information, that the occupation
of Manila by parts Of the crews of the
foreign warshps there Is an accom-
plished fact. although it may probably
be three or four days before the Of
fetal news arrives by way of Hong
Kong. The communication proceeds to
say. over a month ago Admiral Dewey
prepared to lombard Manila At this
juncture, however, a new factor was
added to the situation. The German
consul, acting on precise instructions
which had just arrived by the German
warship Irene. strongly opposed bonn
bardment. These Instructions were
clear and categorical and emanated di-
rectly from Emperor Williams cabinet.
1T was then that Admiral Dewey
asked for reinforcements and supplied
Aguinaido with arms. While Germany
gathered naval force the intention at
Berlin was, If not to take possession of
Manila, at least to Cooperate in the
landing. Admiral Deweys force not be-
ing sufficient to protect German inter-
ests. Captain General August had on
his part informed his government of
the situation, and several interviews
took place at Madrid with the German
ambassador, the result being that IL
was decided that Captain General Au-
gust should appeal to the foreign war
ships at Manila, excluding the Ameri-
cans, to protect the lives and property
of the inhabitants against the insur-
gents.
1t was an indirect way of cspitulat-
ing while sparing Spanish amour propre.
There is no doubt Admiral Won Die
derichs has taken command OF the
forces landed. although he has not
taken possession in bealf OF Germany.
But will he. when the American REIN
forcements arrive. he willing to allow
his forces to re-smbark? The whole
question lies there

BLANCO POPULAR IN HAVANA.
Alleged Attempt to Do Him Up Is .spe
cial" Myth.

Havana. June es.-tCopyright. 1895. by
Associated Press. There is absolutely
no foundation for the report published
in the United States OF an attempt to
essassinate Captain General Blanco by
member OF the volunteers, whose
brother IL was alleged had been shot for
completely In plot against the govern
ment. General Blanco enjoys the es-
TEEN Of all classes of Havana. incIud-
Ing the volunteers. and is regarded with
the utmost confidence as the represen-
tative OF Spanish sovereignty. The Gu
bans admit that they are under OBJ
legations to General Blanco for the es-
tablishment OF autonomy in the island
The palace guards are from the volun-
teers. and several officers Of that body
are aides on the generals stan.
General Blanco's public appearances
are frequently the occasions of patriotic
demonstrations. and that he has ne fear
OF assassination is shown by the fact
that he often rides out withou, escort
visiting the fortifications about Havana
without the attendance of the usus;
bodyguarc. Complete tranquility
reigns in Havana. The greatest con-
fdence is felt that the Spanish forces
will successfully cope with the Ameri-
can soldiers who are reported to have
arrived on hoard transports OF the har-
hor of Santiago de Cuba. There is great
enthusiasm among the troops and vol.
unteers, who are all anxious to fight
against the invaders"

he has decided that there shall be no ex-
change of prisoners with the United
States. At the same time the captain
general says he cannot allow the ex-
change Of Lieutenant Hobson and the
other members of the party who sailed
the Merrimac into the mouth of the
harbor at Santiago de Cuba. for the
reason that the lieutenant and his COM
panions had opportunities for seeing the
harbor and its defenses. The most COM
mon prudence, the captain general says,
would forbid that these men be now
given their liberty as proposed by the
United States. Captain General Blanco
added that he had not forbidden the ap-
proach of vessels bearing flags of truce.
but had only ordered that no vessel be
permitted to approach within six miles
OF the shore. SO that it be made impos-
sible for officers of the United States to
make drawings of or inspect fortresses.

A duty we owe to ourselves is 10
take good care of our earthly temple.
Many people abuse their body. and

When the earthly temple once be-
gins to show ruin, the owner begins
to look for repairer. Sometimes he
succeeds, and many times he fails.
1t largely depends upon what kind of
repairs are necessary. If it is your

London, June 23.-The Madrid eorre-

diplomatic circles here from South
America that preliminary steps are be-
ing taken to summon a conference Of
all South and Central American repub-
lies to consider the advisability Of
adopting defensive measures against
future aggression by the United States.
The Hispano- American republics see
danger in the prospect that the moment
the United States has effected its pur-
pose in Cuba 1t will seek to extend its
influence and authority over the Span
ish speaking republics In countries so
subject to revolutionary outbreaks it
| would be an easy task for the United
States to foment insurrectfonary move
