MATTERS AT MANILA,
'csenerai Merritt Has Arrived, the Spanish
Con roiss Falling to Pieces.

SAN FRANcIsco, July 36-A special
from Manila Bay, July. &c. via Hong
Kong, Juiy 20, say': General Wesley
Merritt aud transports and troops
under his command, arrived at Manila
the morning of July 25lh All are well.

MANILA, July 25-vlA HeNG KONG.
The Spanlards are gradually realizing
that Spain has not been victorious, and
expected reinforcements are not COM
ing, and that the contest is therefore
utterly hopeless. The Insurgents are
in overwhelming numbers. The Span
iards.canobtain only the bare necessaries
of life. Only a fortnight ago the Span
ish national pride was rampant; but it
is now merging into indignation at
SPANS feebleness, and regret that they
were born Spaniards. While they never
surrender without fight, the Spanish
officers will jump at the first honorable
opportunity to surrender. Fighting in
the suburbs is desultory and the Amer
leans are idle. This has given rise to
report that they are determined to sus-
pend operations until September, and
by that time peace will probably have
been concluded. Then it is asserted
here that the Americans may perma-
nently annex the Caroline and Ladrone
Islands and possibly abandon the Philip
pines, with the exception of keeping a
coaiing station here.
Although the Insurgents have re-
doubled their efforts, they have hitherto
been unable to capture the citadel. On
the other hand, the Spaniards are not
able TO re-establish their suzerainity.
Under these circumstances, it seems
evident that somebody must interfere
in the name of humanity Serae of the
InsurgeAas' shells have sbeen zthroBn
into the citadel, but do not appear to
have done much damage. The natives
are reported to be starving by thou
sands. Europeans are also hard pressed
for food

Joined in the conference. 1t was
thought possible, though hardly pro-
bable, that the Ambassador had come
prepared to discuss and may be to
determine some of the terms under
consideration.
| WASHINGTON, July 30 = At 4:45
O'Clock the French Ambassador lett the
White House, his call having lasted
| two and three fourths hours. At the
close of the conference 1t was an
nounced that United States answer had
been placed In the hands of the French
Ambassador and nothing could be said
as to its nature, until it had been re-
ceived by the Spanish government.
OUR EMPAHTIC CONDITIONS.
WASHINGTON, July 30-The Ameri-
can reply distinctly gives warning that
the propositions to surrender all sover-
eighty in the West Indian waters, and
of the selection of an island in the La.
drones are beyond any discussion what
ever. AS to the PHILIPPINES, the reply
says in substance that as further
indemnity to the United States for it's
expenses, this country will hold the city
or Manila, its bay and harbor, pending
a determination of futare government
of the whole island or of the group.
One island in the Ladrone group is to
be ceded to the United States, this gov
ernment to make the selection later
In demanding the surrender of Spanish
sovereignty in all our near by waters,
the reply automatically avoids making
any pledges as to what is to be done by
this government as to Cuba.
q ALLIN MY EYE.
While the Cabinet was in session, a
significant cablegram was received from
Admiral Dewey. 1t announced the ar
rival of Major General Merritt and the
expedition with him, at Manila, but
graphically painted the uncertainties of
the future there. The dispatch, which
has not been made public, save in its
unimportant features, largely guides
the Cabinet in it's disposition OF the
Philippines problem. Without mincing
words, Admiral Dewey announced that
Aguinaldo had assumed bold attitude
of defiance, add there we're strong indi-
cations that the Philippine Insurgents
themselves would have to be fought.
DaoCu vi thio uCPiCtiVu VI euO EidNlty
of the situation there, it would take
150,0 900 soldiers from this country to
cope with the insurgents throughout
all the islands. The deferment of final
disposition of the Philippine problem
was based substantially on the follow
ing grounds:
.INEx0UsABLE ALTOGETHER.
1-zne United States has no satisfac-
tory -.iowledge of the existing con-.
ditions there; 2-Nothing is known Of
what Obligations were incurred as be-
tween the United States forces and the
Philippine islands; 3-The present. def

known; 4-The extent to which Aguin-
aldo controls the islands of the Philip
pine group is unknown; 5-As Incl

government in subjugating the Insur-
gent forces. the Spanish and the ma

The French Ambassador left the en-

Jury Said Guilty.

The misdemeanOr case ON in Circuit
Court yesterday was an opium affair.
A Chinaman was accused of importa-
ton and me was convicted after a hard
fight between Attorney Davidson for
the defense and E. P. Dole for the
State The jury stood nine to three.
This is the case in which one OF THE
newly arrived men from China had
loaded rice mill stone with the con-
traband drug Jack BicVeigh quite by
accident learned of the contents. The
heavy stone had been followed out,
filed with opium and put together
again very neatly. A sharp eye was
required 10 detect anything wrong.
The case for the prisoner was that he
did not own the property, that he was
watching it for another man and had
no idea that he was likely in any way
to get into trouble. The man will be
delayed at the reef en- route to the
plantation on which he was to have
been employed.
