GIVING UP THE PHILIPPINES
Many Men and Newspapers in Spain
Favor the Surrender of the
Archipelago.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says Senor Montero
Rios has telegraphed to Senior Sagasta, say
ing that he had received most satisfactory
impression from the attitude of the Amer
ican Peace commissioners. The Rationale,
not ordinarily a very serious paper, strikes
a note which reflects the sentiment of the
most serious men here. 1t boldly antici-
pates Spain giving up the Philippines.
This attitude now is taken by many of the
leading papers throughout the country, the
view being that retention of the archipelago
is yet another pitfall for Spain. At the
same time the government holds 5000 men
ready to send to the Philippines. The min
lister of state lamented before the queen the
fact that certain papers were in favor Of the
cession of the Philippines. 1t is interesting
to know that the minister of state considers
that Spain should maintain it's sovereignty
over the entire archipelago, and in such a
spirit as already Indicated in the Herald,
the Spanish delegates at the conference are
inspired.
The question of number of negroes who
have come back from Cuba is attracting
much attention. Sagasta has found the key
to the problem and proposes to form them
into battalions destined for the Spanish pos
sessions in Africa.

gotiation between the president and NJ
Cambon the probability of just such pres
sure being brought to bear was taken into
consideration, and was indeed urged as a
reason for refusing the request Of Nj. Cam
bon that the conference be had at Paris,
but it was decided that our commissioners
would be strong enough to withstand such
tactics.
So far no protest has been lodged by the
Spanish government with the State depart
ment against the refusal to permit Spanish
troops to be ready to be sent to the Philip
pines outside of Manila. 1t Is to be pre-
sumed that at the interview which took place
between the president and the insurgent
representative today this matter was
touched upon and that Angoncirlo was shown
the advisability of checking the operations
against the Spaniards outside of Manila If
the insurgents themselves expect to profit
by the action of the peace commission at
Paris.
AS to the charge that our officials are
knowingly permitting the insurgents to re-
ceive small arms, ammunition and cannon
from outside the islands to attack the Span
iards the officials here point in refutation
to the advices early this week from
Admiral Dewey, announcing that he had
seized a flbusrerng insurgent vessel, en-
gagged in just such work.

ASSAULT A BRITISH DIPLOMAT

Legation Attnche and Mission
aries Also Assaulted.

LONDON Oct. 1.-The British foreign
Office today received a dispatch from her
majestys minister at Pekin saying that Mr..
Mortimer, a member of the British lega-
tion, on returning home yesterday with a
woman, was insulted and attacked by a
mob, which stoned Lin and covered him
with mud. Later in the day, the dispatch
adds some American missionaries were
similarly attacked, as was the Chinese sec
retary Of the United States legation, The
latter's ribs were broken. Sir Claude NJ.
Macdonald, British minister at Pekin, re-
ports that there is a dangerous feeling
abroad. Steps have been taken to call the
attention of the Chinese government TO
these outrages.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Minister Conger
at Pekin has forwarded the following to the
State department:

NOT HELPING THE OPERATORS
Militia mt Pana simply There to
Preserve Order and Protect
Life and Property.

PANA, ILL.,, Oct. 1.-The striking union
miners returned here today from Tower Hill
after their exciting experiences in forcibly
turning back the Indiana negroes imported
by the mine operators to break the coal
strike here. The miners guns were boxed
Up and smuggled into town in wagons filled
with hay. Large crowds congregated on the
streets of Pana, but they were orderly
Not a negro appeared in the city and the
quietness was only broken by the cheers
accorded the soldiers as they marched
through the streets. Last night Sheriff
Coburn requested the militia commander,
Captain Craig, to go to Tower Hill and ar
rest the union miners there who had cap
tured the negroes and release the latter.
Craig fatty refused to do so, saying he was
only here to protect the lives OF citizens
and property. He was not here for the pur-
pose Of obeying the sheriff's instructions or
orders. His orders were from Governor
Tanner and that there would be no foolish
ness in the matter. The militia are patron
izing only the union butchers, bakers and
merchants.
Owing to the heavy rain, which has been
incessant since the state troops went into
camp here, the troops left the camp this
afternoon and are now quartered in the
Haywood opera house. where they will re-
main during their stay here.
Captain Craig has given out orders for
the closing of all saloons until further no.

lSLEARNING POLITICS
Makes a Speech TO His Devoted Fol-
lowers Which ArOuses Comment
His Idea of Monroe Doctrine.

MANILA, Oct. 1.--There is considerable
comment here on Agulnaldos speech at
Malolos on Thursday. The keynote was the
independence Of the Philippine islands.
During the course of his remarks Agui-
naldo said:
'Our friends, the Americans came for
the purpose of demonstrating the gener-
osity and grandeur of their government and
to assist in releasing the people from
slavery without annexing the islands, thus
setting a good example. We now under
stand and appreciate the famous Monroe
doctrine OF America for Americans and
justice demands that they add The Philip
pines for the Fllipinos'
The insurgent officials express disappoint-
ment at the non attendance of Americans
at the festival at Malolos
The provincial governor has declined to
allow an American officer to inspect the
Dagupan prisons and secure their plans
without Aguinaldos sanction. The half
caste interpreter used threats and conse-
quently Aguinaldo instructed his troops at
the railroad station beyond Malolos not to
allow any Americans to pass
The British cruiser Powerful, which left
here a few days ago, has returned. 1t only
went on cruise for target practice. Ad-
miral Montojo went to Hong Kong today
on board the steamer Esmeralda.

TRY TO INFLUENCE COMMISSIONERS.
Dubious Reports of Peace ArbitratOrs
HIVE Little Weight.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-Secretary Hay
has settled down at once to the discharge
OF the many duties OF his new post. AL
ready have applications for Office began TO
pour in upon him, but the secretary finds
upon examination that there are no positions
in his department within his disposal.
The secretary has been in receipt OF cable
advces from Judge Day, president of the
American peace commissioners, In which he
said that the business Of the commission
is proceeding In the most satisfactory man
ner. 1t is evident from the tone Of Judge
Days communication that he does not share
the gloomy view of the outcome Of the meet
ing OF the peace commissioners which is
said to be expressed in the French news
papers.
There is some doubt, 1t may be remarked,
as to the sincerity OF these expressions and
it is suTmised In official quarters that they
are inspired with a desire to influence the
American commissioners toward an abate-
ment OF their demands. II this is true they
will fail OF their intended effect, for during
The days when the protocol was under ne
