THE SITUATION At MANILA
SICKNESS is REPORTED AMONG
DEWEY'S MEN.
This However is Denied-Spaniards
Threaten to Shoot Captain Pau of
the Callao-lnsurgents Neutral.

LONDON, May 31.--A dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph from Manila, da-
ted May Goth, via Hongkong, says:
The American warships are still in
the bay, except a couple of the small
Ter ones, which are being used for
patrol duty outside. Rear Admiral
Dewey is losing men from disease al
most daily. Smallpox and dysentery
are said to be rife in the American
squadron,
Aguinaldo, the insurgent chief, has
reached Cavite from the interior, and
soon after his arrival went aboard
one of the warships. He is working
hard to gain over the rebels to the
side of the Americans in view of the
active corporations when Dewey's re-
Inducements arrive.
HONGKONG, May 3O.-The British
second class cruiser Pique has arriv-
ed here from Iloilo and Manila; she
reports all quiet at both places.
Supplies reach Manila plenti-
fully from the surrounding country
There is no panic in Manila. The
Spaniards are working upon the for
tifications. but the guns are old and
useless, and the garrison is short of
ammunition. Rear Admiral Dewey
has informed the authorities of Mani
la that he will hold them responsible
for the life of the captain of the
Spanish gunboat Callao. captured by
the United States fleet. The Spaniards
have been threatening to shoot him
for surrendering, although be was
confronted by the whole American
fleet. All the American ships are at
Cavite, Manila Bay. Salt provisions
are plentiful. but fresh provisions are
not obtainable. There is no sickness
in the American fleet.
The governor of Hongkong has
prohibited the United States auxiliary
cruiser Iafro from taking war stores
to the American fleet. but has permit
ted her to take ship officers luNuries.
The Iafiro sails from here for Manila
today.
HONGKONG. May 3O.-The Amerf-
cans captured the Spanish gunboat
Leyte, which was attempting to run
dispatches into Iloilo A steamer is
reported to have landed 5000 rifles at
Cavite for the use of the insurgents.
The Spaniards have offered $4,000 re-
ward for the head of Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader.
In reply to the Spanish attempt to
win over Aguinaldo's men, the insur-
gents are said to have informed the
Spaniards that they are neutral and
will await events. The Spanish gun
boat FL Cano. which captured the
American bark Saranac. loaded with
coal. owned by William Simpson, Jr.,
of New York, left Iloilo and has gone
20 the Samoangan river. 1t is assert
ed that the Spanish released the SaT-
anac owing to the fact that the stea-
mer hoisted the British flag prior to
her capture.

Castillo Charged to Ask the Powers

LONDON, June 2.-The Madrid cor

Senior Castillo, Spanish ambassador
to France, at recent conference with
the Queen Regent and Senior Sagasta,
was officially charged to ask the
powers to intervene to obtain peace
on such terms as would protect the
honor of Spain. The ambassador will
urge for the reason of such interven-
ton the danger and loss of trade to
the powers themselves in the event
of continuation of the war. Politi-

THE SINEWS OF WAR.
Biggest Deficiency Bill Ever Pre-
scented to Congress.

The Secretary of War has asked
Congress for an additional appropria-
ton of $5,S71 ,000 made up of the fol-
lowing items: Torpedoes, $1,2S6,000,
including $15O,00O for the defense of
Manila harbor; torpedoes and guns
and morton batteries, $i50,000; contin-
gencies Of the army, 100000; arma-
ment for Notifications, $735,000, and
ordnance stores and supplies, $3,20O,-
000
This is expected practically to com
plete the naval and war deficiency es-
Inmates, so far as can be seen, save
for the items of between $40,000,000
and $50,000,000, to be submitted i'm
mediately, to cover the expenses of
the Volunteers under the Presidents
second call.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations committee was in
consultation today with war depart
ment officials over these estimates,
and they will be incorporated in the
general deficiency bill. With every
thing now in sight the total carried
by the general deficiency bill will
reach $207, 769,S sos, making it the larg-
est deficiency bill ever presented to
Congress. 1t will he submitted to
Congress in the next few days.

Saratoga, N. Y, Aug. 21.-At the
closing session Of the National Confer
ence on National Policy last night
Chancellor McCracken Of the Uniycrs-
ty Of New York, as chairman of the
committee Sf twenty-one on resolutions,
presented report, which he said had
been unanimously agreed upon by the
committee. The resolutions were unan-
imously adopted by the conference, as
follows:
I'VE, the participants in the National
Conference on Foreign Policy of the
United States. held at Saratoga on
August 10 and 20, 1898, are unanimous
ly agreed as follows:
I'VE commend the wise and patriotic
purpose of the national administration
In first seeking to avoid war with
Spain and subsequently prosecuting
the war with higher aims and success
in bringing 1t to a speedy conclusion.
1t Is glorious to our arms and crafty
ing to the high aspirations of our peo-
pie.
.On behalf OF freedom and human
welfare, we thank the officers and men
of our army and navy for their skillful
and heroic achievements on land and
on sea, and for their chlvalrous con-
duct toward the defeated enemy. We
believe that the rescued and liberat-
ed people of the surrendered islands
are in sense temporarily the wards
Of the conquering nation and that we
should treat them as such.
with our success, with our view Of
natural right and of the inestimable
privilege of civil liberty, we should not
be justified In returning the conquered
islands to the misrule and oppression
from which we have relieved them.
AS soon as the islands under our pres
cnt protection can be trusted to govern
themselves, they should be allowed to
do so, the United States retaining un-
der its authority only necessary naval
stations. Until such time as they may
be able to govern themselves, they
should continue under the protection
of the United States. and the question
as TO whether. at some future period
and at the mutual desire of both, they
should be permanently annexed, should
be left to the time when 1t arises.
THE United States, in behalf OF each
territory in question and 20 long as 1t
shall continue under It's protection,
should adopt proper measures II Sc
curing out of the revenues Of these
countries, the establishment OF free,
elementary, unsectarian schools, suf-
ficient for the instruction of all persons
of school age.
I'VE count the present an auspicious
time for the establishment by the Unit
ed States OF graded diplomatic and
consular service.
I'VE heartily approve Of the principle
of arbitration in the settlement Of In
ternational difficulties"

A War of Rseal,at,on.

Ponce. Porto Rico. Aug. pa war
Of retaliation against the Spanish res
idents of the island within the Ameri-
can lines is Observation-Disclosures for
the horrible Outrages committed by the
Spanish troops at Ciales, where over
80 persons are said to have been
macheted by the soldiers. The revolt
ing details of the butchery of men and
women, the ravishing of young girls
and nameless mutilations have stirred
a cry for vengeance.
Early this morning the natives burn
ed the town Of Gotta, seven miles from
here. The Spanish residents fed for
their lives. Throughout the surround
ing country the Spaniards are terror
stricken and are appealing to the
Americans for protection.

Canada's Big Wheat Crop.

Toronto. Aug. 2O.-Canadas wheat
crop this year will be by long odds the
greatest in the history of the dominion.
The Ontario government bulletin Is
sued to-day shows that the fall wheat
crop will be 25,OOO,OO0, or 100000
more than last year, and the spring
wheat crop 6,5OO,0OO, or 100000 more
than last year. Harvest operations are
now in full swing in Manitoba, and the
wheat crop there will be about 15,000,-
600 more than last year, estimates this
year ranging from 4O,OOO,O00 to 5O,-
100000 bushels. The condition of
wheat in Canada was never better
and will all grade very high.

AFRAID OF SPAIN.
Philippines Would suffer II Restored te
the Spanish.

London, Aug. 22.-The Manila cor
respondent of the Daily Telegraph, in
n dispatch dated Sunday. says:
Gen. Merritt has proclaimed gov
ernment of military occupation. The
news of the armistice arrived on the
18th. 1t is feared that the Americans
may restore the Philippines to Spain
anu thus re-inaugurate fresh period
of tyranny, extortion and rebellion:
The Spanish guarantees for freedom OIL
press and for just administration are
useless unless under foreign supervis-
ion.
THE Americans found 100000 In
me Spanish treasury.
Foreign opinion is lou. In praise OF
the action of the American command
crs in excluding armed rebels from the
city. There is good reason to believe
that their firmness saved Manila from
pillage.
"A week ago there appeared to be a
possibility of collision with the rebels
but there is no danger now. Every
thing is quiet"
The Meeker herald., 1898-08-27

In the opinion Of Carlos 8. Fox, for
mer United States vice-consul at San
tiago, the surrender of that Spanish
stronghold means the resumption Of
business. with good chances for wide
awake, active business men, who grasp
the situation early to reap the great
est benefits. He says that, except a
match factory in Santiago. there arc
no manufacturing plants in eastern
Cuba. Everything the people wear.
eat and drink comes from other coun-
tries. This being the case, there will
be a frst-class opportunity for all
manufacturing enterprises. The land,
which is fertile, but SO far has not
been properly titled. is well adapted to
raising coffee. sugar. tobacco and cat
tie, which, according to Mr.. Fox. could
be sent to the United States without
causing competition with homo pro-
ducts. In the interior the land abounda
with mahogany. cedar and other kinds
of timber. Concluding. the vice-consul
says that railroad is needed from
Santiago to Havana. distance of about
400 miles. This would greatly develop
the country.
The Meeker herald., 1898-08-27

The latest reports from the Arctic
gold fields indicate decided change OF
sentiment among the miners in favor
of seeking their gold on the American
side of the line. Such revulsion was
to be expected and the Idea is to be
commended The Klondike is not the
only gold region in the Yukon valley.
There IL every reason to believe that
there are just as rich deposits in the
Alaskan streams as in those OF the
northwest territory, and they can be
prospected and worked under much
more liberal restrictions. The fact thnt
tho Klondike output Of gold has fallen
somewhat below what even the most
conservative expected is In large part
due to the needlessly heavy tax laid on
mining enterprises by the Canadian
government. The fact that the govern
ment has collected tax Of $500, 900 on
$1,000, 900 is bound to have its deterrent
effect upon the full development Of the
country. There is reason to believe
that the Canadian authorities have
overreached themselves in this matter.
and the marked movement that has
now begun toward Alaskan streams
promises soon to prove that Canada's
loss will be our gain. Forty Mile creek,
which was the original Yukon gold
field, is being worked again, and 1t is
Just as reasonable to expect that new
and richer strikes will be made on our
side of the line as on the other. Am
erican prospectors will do well in fu-
ture to keep this fact in mind and To-
cate their claims where they can
work them without exorbitant taxa
tion.
