Under the American Flag.

NEW YORK, Sept. pa dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: AS result of
the meetings of the national assembly of
Filipinos, thus far held in Malolos. there
is now entire confidence in the American
government on the part of the insurgent
leaders All the members of the assembly
manifest an earnest desire that the future
relations of the Filipinos with the Ameri-
cans may be of the most friendly character.
The condition of the Spanish prisoners is
beginning to excite anxiety among the mill
tary officers here. Eleven thousand of these
prisoners are quartered in churches and
other public buildings within the narrow
confines of the walled city. where most of
the Spanish people also live, where the
American garrison is necessarily quartered
and where General Otis has located the
army headquarters Members of the sani-
tary corps are kept constantly at work

Demonstrations for or Against the
Scored by the Duke of Tetuan.

MADRID. Sept. 20-The workmen Of
Bilboa. where the cruisers which belonged
to Admiral Cervera's fleet were built, have
decided to go to Santander in order to make
demonstration against the defeated Span
ish admiral on his return to Spain. The
government however, has taken measures
to prevent the plan being carried out. and
the ministry has forbidden demonstrations
welcoming Cervera home.
Captain General BIanco cables from Ha-
vana that he is not in accord with the
Cuban colonial ministry, to which the gov
eminent here replied that while Spanish
sovereignty existed in Cuba, he must apply
autonomy, therefore he could not turn out
the colonial government now in office and
appoint a new one.
The Duke of Tetuan who was minister
for foreign affairs in the cabinet OF the late
Premier Canovas Del Castillo, is quoted as
saying in an interview: 'Senor Canovas,
if he had lived. would never have accepted
war with the United States. Canovas and
myself were convinced that war would lead
inevitably to the ruin of SPAIN Continu-
ing, the Duke blamed the Liberals. who,
he said. could have averted war, either by
accepting the proffered good offices of the
United States minister, General Stewart L..
Woodford, or by treating with the insurg-
ents on the basis of Cuban independence or
by selling Cuba. "Senor Sagasta," the Duke
of Tetuan declared, lis responsible for all
our disasters, and must be elected from
power

patriot Sarana has been elected by an over

attended the election.

Two Different Bureaus.
Washington Special.

There is confusion in mems minds about
the Weather Bureau and the Signal-service
Bureau. The Weather Bureau is conducted
under the direction of the secretary of agri-
culture. It forecasts the weather, the is
sues of storm warnings, the display of
weather and food signals for the benefit of
agriculture. commerce and navigation. 1t
maintains and operates seacoast telegraph
lines, collects and transmits marine intelii-
gence for the benefit of commerce and navi-
cation, reports temperature and rainfall con-
ditions, displays frcst and cold-wave signals
and takes such meteorological observations
that may be necessary to establish and re-
cord climatic conditions of the United
States. The signal service is a bureau of the
War Department. The chief signal officer,
General Greedy, is charged with the super
vision of all military signal duties and of
the books, papers and devices connected
Herewith. including telegraph and tele-
phone apparatus and the necessary meteoro-
logical instruments for use on target
ranges and other military empoyments
the construction. repair and operation of
military telegraph lines and the duty of
collecting and transmitting information for
the army by telegraph or otherwise 1t will
be seen by the foregoing that the two
bureaus have very little in common al
though during the Standardization war
there were times when they worked to-

that greeted the homecoming of our Victo-
rlous troops. but Admiral Sampson has
written the following tribute of praise TO the
gentlemen of the press. The valor of the
American newspaper man, as exhibited in
the late war. has rightly excited universal
con ment. Tie Old-time war corre-
spondent who remained with the COM
mander-in-chief. miles behind the firing
lines. has been conspicuous by his absence
in the most recent war. The chronicler of
battle preferred TO march where the fiercest
OF lighting was in progress, riskng his life
Tor the sake of duty as nobly and readily
as the soldiers. The world has wondered
almost much at this heroism of the
modern newspaper man. as ii has at the
reckless bravery of the soldiers and sailors
who carried Old Glory impetuously to
victory. Admiral Sampson writes:
1t gives me great pleasure to reply to
your question regarding the behavior of
newspaper men under fire.

men are not more fond than other mortals
