HAVANA, Aug. %, 1S9S.-(9 A. M)--The
local papers express considerable doubt,
based upon a rereading of President Nc
Kinley's message to Congress last April
in the light of recent events, whether the
United States Government has definitely
pledged itself to declare Cuba's independ-
ence.
A number of prominent Havanese have
recently received threatening letters,
signed by insurgents or anonymous, ana
evidently of insurgent origin. Several OF
these letters tell those to whom they are
sent that they may choose the sort OF
tree on which they will be hanged after
the insurgents have entered Havana. This
correspondent heard a we'll known resi-

AGU|NALDO'S IhPUDENCE.
TBy Gable to The Associated Press ]

BY Gable to The Associated HreSS.l
LONDON, Aug. %, 1S9s.-The Associate
ed Press learns that the Philippine Junta
in London received a despatch from Man
ila yesterday announcing that matters
there are rapidly cuieting down and that
the friction between General Agulnaldo
and the Americans is disappearing.
According to the Junta's advices the in
surgents for time regarded General
Merritt and General Anderson as martin
cts and feared that they would adopt
harsh methods, like the Spaniards, toward
the Filipinos: but the insurgents, from the
first have had the gfeatest confidence iE
Admiral Dewey, whom they regard as a
sort of father and the most important
American at Manila.
The Junta is satisfied that all friction
will soon disappear and that there will
be no trouble from the insurgents if the
Americans decide to retain the Philip
pines.
According to a wealthy Filipino now
in London the Filipinos in Europe are
all well-to-do people Hitherto they have
held aloof from the insurgents but they
now realize that their interests demand
action and they are about to form a
committee to open negotiations with the
Junta here. They are all in favor of
United States. So strong is their convic-
tion of the desirability of this course that
they had contemplated approaching the
British Foreign Office to invite Great
Britain to intervene, and In any event to
prevent the islands being returned to the
control of Spain. They decided, however,
to await American action.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY BETTER.
Nervous Exhaustion the Only
Name the Doctors Can
Give His Illness.

WESTPORT, Conn, August %, 1885,
Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, who had been
indisposed at the Saugatuek residence of
R. S. Wortley. his son-in-law, was feeling
much improved when a representative of
the Associated Press called this morning.
The distinguished officer could not be
seen, his physician having giving strict
orders for his patients closest seclusions
Mrs Wortley, however, announced that
Admiral Schey passed a comfortable night
and this morning was so far improved as
to render it possible for him to leave his
room and breakfast with the family.
Later in the day it is proposed to take
the Admiral on carriage drive. The
report that the patient is suffering from
a Santiago-contract fever is pronounce
ed to be erroneous. DR.. J. G. Gregory
the attending physician, of South Nor
walk stated this forenoon that no syInp-
toms of fever have been discovered
The patients pulse is at 80 and the tenn
pera ture normal, and the only tangible
diagnosis Of his indisposition character

action necessarily incident upon q sud-
den relief from the exciting events of The
past few months.
ington tomorrow if possible He greatly
regrets that he was unable to be present
at the conference with the President yes
terday.
AS the day progressed it became evident
that the Admirals condition was such
that it would be unwise for him to under
take even SO slight exercise as would be
made necessary by the proposed carriage
drives. Immediately after breakfast the
patient returned to his room and when
Dr. Gregory called at noon the Admiral
was advised to remain in his room and In
bed most of the day.
The physician this afternoon stated that
it was hardly possible that Admiral
Schley could make the trip to Washington
this week, although he might improve
SO rapidly as to permit the journey at
the very last of the week. He Will GER
tainly not be in a condition to go tomor-
row as he had hoped.
The necessity of complete rest has been
urged and It is expected no one outside

cited are being carefully considered by
the best lawyers and leading merchants
of Santiago. There is some talk of maxi
ing a test case as to the legality OF the

it is doubtful that this will be done. Most
of the merchants seem inclined to accept
the six per cent. loss as the fortune Of

But the soldiers are soon going home and

Doubtless they will send some by postal
orders to their families. Therefore the
suggestion which has been made that
American money will come into the
country as fast as the Spanish money
goes out, is not likely to be verified for
the time being.

SPAIN AND THE CHURCH.
Concordat as to Cuba, Porto
Rico and Other Span
ish Colonies to
be Dissolved.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %, 1s9s.-Among
those occupying high official position
with the Catholic Church, it is said thas
the amalgamation of the Catholic com
munities of Cuba, Porto Rico and other
Spanish colonies presents no serious diiJl-
Guilty. The first requisite. it is pointed
out, is to terminate the cqncordat by
which Spain and the Vatican jointly con-
duct the Church administration of these
colonies.
The concordat is formal agreement,
somewhat like treaty. by which the
Spanish government and the Vatican car
ry on relations Of mutual advantage.
Under the concordat the Spanish govern
ment names the bishops to be appointed
in the Spanish colonies, and these names
being sent to Rome, are formally APP
pointed by the Pontiff With the termin-
alton of Spanish sovereignty in Cuba.
Porto Rico and the Antilles, this provis-
ion for the Spanish nomination of bishops
becomes imperative, and some sys-em
must take its place.
For the present it is said, the change
will occasion no violent upheaval among
the bishops and clergy of these colonies.
They will be left in their places, and the
change Of system Will be lnapsusalstsli 9
gfdcually as tn9Se 1lpM III SefVlSe di3p u, u,
ard are succeeded. The new system Will
probably pe that under which bishops are
chosen In the United States, there being
no state participation. but merely a
choice by the established Catholic aulhori-
ties wherein a change occurs, this choice
being referred to Rome for formal ap-
pointment.
It is understood that the hierarchy. u
Porto Rico will at once become attached
| 10 the American church, but there is
some question as TO the status of the
Church in Cuba owing to the doubt as TO
! the exact form of the civil admiiistra,
| ton of the island. While not annexed
| 10 the United States the Church In Cuba
may not be attached to the American
hierarchy, although its administration j.
likely to be supervised from here.

ARTILLERyMEN COME NORTH.
Battery H, 7th Regulars, Passes
Through this City to Newport.

Battery II, Seventh United States Ar
tillery, consisting of III men, under COM
mand of Captain j. e. Borsh and Lieu
tenant MeConet, arrived in the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad freight yards, at the foot
of Bay street, shortly before nine o'clock
this morning They are on their way to
their old station at Fort Adams, Newport.
They left Tampa Saturday morning.
They shipped us as fast freight. said
Captain Bush, and it has been a tedious
journey to the men. It took US all day
yesterday to so 100 miles through North
Carolina and Virginia. .
The men, who have been cooped up in
the dingy Southern passenger coaches,
are pretty well worn out On leaving
Tampa each man was provided with only
three days travelling rations, it being un-
derstood that the journey would only
take three days. The rations expired last
night, and for breakfast this morning the
men only had few hardtack, which had
been served. They were ravenously hum
CRY, and as soon as the train arrived in
Jersey City they all clipped in and chose
three of their number to run the guard
and secure provisions. The men went
straight to the nearest bakers and re-
turned with their arms full of bread and
rolls. Small boys were hired by some of
the men to get them food. There are no
sick among the artillerynen. All the
sick were left in the general hospital in
Tampa. The men left their guns and ar
tillery. equipments behind They are trav-
cling with only their blankets and KNAPP
sacks. Three members of the battery ran
the guard in Richmond and We're MISS
ing when the train started They were
left behind
There were three mascots with the bait
terry when it left Tampa, an owl named
Dewey a tiny pig called Tampa, and
a nlongrel dog who reioices in the name
of @Ibon.'' The owl was shot near Tampa
by Private Smiley. It's wing was broken,
but the soldiers doctored it up and it
became quite a pet with the men. Last
night it got wedged under one of the
seats. In an effort to get it out one of
the men broke its neck. The other mas
cots are doing well. Tampa which be-
longs to Private McCull, eats from the
tin cups Of the soldiers. Sergeant Boyd
is the owner of "Ibon." The men will
go to Newport over. the New York New
Haven and Hartford Railroad. The Penn
sylvania Railroad take them as far as
Mott Haven.

If the luminous and PICTURESQUE paper
by Abraham Cahan in the July atlantic
is in any degree accurate, the Russian
Jews have been misunderstood and mis-
-ly thought and spoken of as highly uIi-
desirable class of immigrants, but Mr.
Cahan demonstrates that quite the re
verse is the truth. He shows them to be
at their first coming more literate than
most immigrants; with great intellectual
avidity diligently studying and rapidly
learning TO speak English; furnishing 10
81 criminals and practically no paupers;
peaceable, temperate, indus trious. hnme-
loving, and if not more cleanly. at least
with better sanitary customs than Others,
showing a much lower death rate with d
far denser population In their tencnlen
