The new national bankruptcy law.

parties who are In financial difficulties.
The new law supersedes the insolvency
laws OF this and every other state. The

declared insolvent.
Creditors Of any person who held at
.east one-fourth of his debts might
apply TO the court and have hearing
on the question of whether or not such
q person was insoivent.
Though this law lis now superseded
BY the national law. there Ia no imme-
date remedy. such as Is above noted,
for the new measure provides that no
voluntary petition shall be filed within
one month. and no involuntary petition
within four months. after the date OF
its approval.
An attorney came i'm from Pawtucket
to-day with client who Is I'm trade
there and who believed that the inter-
csts OF all creditors would be best pre-
served by the appointment Of GUS
todian and the filing OF a petition In
insolvency.
Members OF the Appellate Court i'm
formed the attorney that no custodian
rould be appointed. as the national law
made the focal Law inopperative. The
Pawtucket man will just have 10 take
chances for a couple OF weeks, and

be adopted.
IL. The development OF the public
wealth shall be facilitated together with

BY the proclamation of the Philippine
republic under this agreement the bal
ance of influence In the far east Is not
disturbed. and the interests OF all the
civilized world viii be respected and
protected.
1t is perhaps difficult for you to un-
derstand how deeply we feel over the
wrongs of our race, because those out
side the islands have never fully known
the long, horrible tale OF butchery and
oppression we have suffered for years.
Even at the Spanish court we could
not get a hearing.
Father Camara, bishop OF Salamanca,
an Augustinian frar from the Philip
pine order. and Father Cardena. bishop
OF Sion, both OF whom exercise su-
preme influence I'm the existing Spanish
court. are resolutely opposed TO any re-
form in the Philippines which would
diminish the power OF the friars.
When Gen. Poiiveja returned from
the Philippines after butchering hum
dreds OF innocent people. he was re-
ceived at the palace with special hon
ors. although the premier disavowed
such tactless reception. Then the APP
from the Manila orders was forced
upon Sagasta and Morct. To excuse II

An Englishman Describes the Treatment
of Spanish Prisoners at Cavite.
A correspondent of The Daily Mail
telegraphs from Manila, under date of
July 3, by way Of Hongkong, July 8,
rs follows:
Il have just returned from an inter-
esting visit to Cavite. With six other
Englishmen, we went ashore in a body
and noticed the rebel flag flying every
where. We visited the arsenal, where
we saw several hundred Spanish prison
ers looking through barred windows and
clamoring for bread and cigarettes.
Then we did what all do when they 60

We bought several dollars worth of ma
tive cigarettes and little rolls of bread,
which we threw to the poor chaps, who
scrambled for them and fought like SO
many wild beasts.

ger, who perhaps few weeks before
was bending the knee to them, would
open % door and belabor them with q
heavy stick, to keep them quiet. The
captives did not dare to retaliate. saw
this with my own eyes, and asked the
American sentry why this was allowed.
He replied:

them.

The experience gained in dispatching
Skaters expedition. it is expected, will
aid the officials in their determination
to make short work Of the Porto Rican
affair. There will be plenty of trans
ports available for the expedition, as the
government has devised other means OF
removing the Spaniards captured at
Santiago to Spain than by carrying
them on these transports. That the
navy is ready to do its share on short no.
tice goes without saying. Porto Rico
is not expected to offer a very farmid-
/. able resistance.
3 IL is believed that the moral effect
OF the. surrender at Santiago will be TO
discourage the defenders of San Juan.
There is, however. always the prospect
that peace may ensue before hostilities
have progressed against SPANS east
ernmost West India island. Rumors
were afioat yesterday to the effect that
the Spanish government at last had
made overtures in that direction, but
their basis probably WAS the current
belief that one more reverse would be
sufficient TO compel the Spanish gov
ernment to sue for peace. and this re-
of Torals army. The navy department
has not been affected by these rumors
to the extent of relaxing any of It's pre-
cautions or abandoning any OF its plans,
for Secretary Long states unequivocally
that Commodore Watsons eastern
squadron will certainly go to Spain as
soon as it can sail. The number OF
Spanish soldiers to be sent back to
Spain is estimated at 10000.
The navy department had not heard
up to the close OF Office hours to what
extent the American fleet was par
ticipating In the Spanish surrender.
With Santiago In our hands, the way
will be clear for Admiral Simpsons
fleet to enter the harbor and proceed
to the wharves, as soon as the torpedoes
and mines are removed. The fortifi-
cations Of Moro castle. Socapa, Cayo
Smith and others are included in the
surrendered zone. The possession of
there fine fortresses, particularly MORO
castle will afford valuable garrison
points for a large number of men. The
terms under which these strongholds
are surrendered Is not yet known In
detail, but IL is regarded as likely that |
their big guns pass with the surrender.
While the fleet will soon be free TO move
up to Santiago city, some doubt is en-
tertained in naval circles whether any
good could be accomplished by such a |
move. as 1t might subject our sailors to |
the contar visiting within the city.

surrender. 'and then IL need be Ha-
vana." The secretary was In excellent
spirits. He has been more anxious
than he dared show as to the condition
OF our sick soldiers. and looked with
Iprolongation OF the struggle In the un-
healthy valley or Santiago. The sec
retary said that the Porto Rican expe-
dition would SO forward Immediately

warriors in the trenches before Santiago
have distinguished themselves. and II
is not deemed prudent TO bring them in
unnecessary contact with new troops
In view of the danger of approaching
contagion. The sick soldiers viii be
nursed back to health and brought to
the United States as soon as they can
be safely removed. Immune regiments
will be ordered to Santiago to garrison
the town, and two of these regiments
are already under orders to proceed.
The Porto Riean expedition will be
commanded by General Miles in person.
though General Brooke. now in COM
mand at Camp Thomas. is expected TO
be his main dependence. The size Of
the expedition will depend upon Cen
eral Miles wishes. although 1t is be-
lieved that 25,000 men will be sufficient
for the purpose. At San Juan the
navy will be of greater assistance than
1t was at Santiago. owing TO the pos
sibility OF approaching the town more
closely without risking contact with
mines. General Brooke rs on his way 10
Washington by direction of Secretary
Alger. so that he will be in position to
make his views known to the depart
ment.

still Waiting.

The men at Camp Dyer are still watt
ing and watching. but the drills are be-
ing kept up without horses. The health
of the camp is good. and there has been
very little intoxication as a result OF
the money which the men have received
from the state. There have been but
two or three men i'm the guard house,
and this morning there were not even
as many prisoners as that. The amount
OF soft drinks and cigars and tobacco
that the store disposes OF in a day is
surprisingly large. Al night now line
gathers In front of the store. and for
time the clerk Is busy individual
as he endeavors To open soda bottles
and cut pies at the same time.
The captains OF both batteries are de-
termined that the men shall become
proficient in the drill as far as they can
go without horses. and there are very
few visitors TO distract the men from
their work. With the taking off OF the
passenger boat. each day has seemed to
see a decrease i'm the number of stran-
gers on the camp ground. for some rea-
son the teams seeming to bring fewer
as soon as'the boat ceased its trips. To
see their friends now the boys have to
secure leaves of absence, and the de-
mand for these is by no means small.

The great American hog has been

During the past few days, however,
Cons1l Barnes, at Cologne, whose
recent report on the preparation of
American fruits for the German market
attracted much attention, followed it
with report upon trichinae. which is
splendid vindicatiou of the American
hog from the viii6oation of his German
accusers. The report says:
