were not little gratified at the speedy
retirement Of the German cruiser Irene,
after the appearance Of the Raleigh
and Concord. a comparison Of the ships
shows that the Irene was much the SUI
perior 70 either of the two American
vessels and in tonnage was almost as
large as the Raleigh and Concord to-
gether. From this il is inferred that the
retirement OF the Irene was from mo-
tives of general policy, rather than
from any indisposition to try conclus-
ions with the two American ships.
In official quarters here there APP
pears to be no disposition to look upon
the action of the Irene as menace
which will require explanatioA 1t was
thought at first that this firs@butward
show of force on the part Of the Ger
man ships might lead to an inquiry by
this government as to the purpose Of
Germany. Thus far, however, there is
no disposition to make such inquiry or
to attach serious import to the incident.

Hong Kong, July 1.-THE insurgents

the Spaniards on Grande Island Rear
Admiral Dewey promptly dispatched
the United States cruisers Raleigh ana
Concord to investigate the matter. On
entering Subic bay the Raleigh opened
fire on the forts, whereupon the Irene
slipped her cable and steamed out by
the other channel The result of the
fire of the American warship was that
the Spaniards. numbering over 800
men. surrendered everything. On re-
turning to Manila the Irene explained
that she interfered lin the cause of

came too late.
The Americans and the insurgents
are acting Independently, both con-
Quoting their own operations and hop
ing to evolve an agreement afterwards.
The extent and duration of General
Aguinaldos influence are uncertain.
But 1t is certain that the Mohamme-

and the insurgents of the Island Of
Luzon and other regions are content
to use Aguinaldo until the Spaniards
are expelled, when there will be state
of chaos, unless a strong force Of
Americans assumes control Of the ISL

The Americans are postponing oper-

any contingency.

under the orders OF the army health
authorities. Almost every building OF
the SO which struggled along the ir-
regular bluff was set on fire and the
Cuban inhabitants have fed to the

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Our Governments May Be Sounded by
Spain as to Terms.

Our Government May Be Sounded by
Spain as to Terms.
London, July 14.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Times says: There
is a mysterious change in the political
atmosphere. The fresh breeze which
set in two or three days ago in the di-
rction of peace has for a moment sub
sided. The weather prophets tell us
that this is a mere momentary lull,
but they do not explain on what their
prediction Is founded.
Though some members of the cabi-
net may be giving in private conversa-
ton undue prominence to the anti
peace sentiment with a view of sooth-
ing patriotic susceptibiiities, 1t cannot
be supposed that an experienced poll
tician like Senior Sagasta or an able
diplomatist like Almodevar de Rio, the
foreign minister. who has displayed a
remarkable grasp of the situation as a
whole, would drop the substance for
the shadow. They have to decide what
will be the most propitious moment
and what the best technical means Of
initiating peace negotiations.
TT is impossible to speak confidently
as to their views or intentions. both
men being naturally reticent. All that
can be stated with tolerable certainty
is that Senior Sagasta's great moral in
fiuence has re-established tranquility
in the cabinet. He is again firmly seat
ed on the box and has the team once
more so well in hand that the very
existence of ministerial crisis is de-
MED.
"Personages in close relations with
the ministers believe that as soon as
certain confidential communications
now passing between Madrid and Ha-
vana have terminated the United
States government will be sounded as
to what general conditions might be
taken as basis for peace negotia-

Playa Del Este. July 14.-Major Cen

the army around Santiago, and the flu
ture movements of the United States
troops will be directed by him in per-

declared pending negotiations for the
surrender of the Spanish forces ex-
pires at noon today. and unless the de-
mands of the Americans are acceded
to by that time a general attack will
be made, the fleet bombarding the city
from outside the harbor. 1t is be-
Iieved, however, that before that time
a white flag win be flying from the
Notifications.
The terms of surrender insisted upon
by the American commander take in
not only the beleaguered Spaniards In
Santiago, but the whole province OF
Santiago de Cuba, including the gar
rlsons Of Manzanillo. Holguin, Guam
tanamo and Baracoa. The United
States, on it's part. agrees to send the
Spanish troops back to Spain and to
allow their officers their side arms.
No other concessions will be granted.

Washington, July 14-While the long

ing OF the Anglo league was
held last evening at Stafford House,
under the presidency of the Duke Of
Sutherland, who was supported by Earl
Grey. the Earl of Jersey, Baron Far
rer, Baron Brassey, Baron Tennyson,
Baron Monkswall, Sir John Lubbock.

present were the Archbishop Of Canter-
bury, the Archbishop of York, Cardinal

lister.
The Duke of Sutherland, in opening
the proceedings, said the league was
quite apart from ordinary politics, its
object being to express the feeling Of
cordially which existed between the
people OF Great Britain and the United
States, an effort which he believed
would be appreciated and reciprocated
in America. On the motion Of Lord
Brassey, the following resolution was
adopted:
considering that the peoples OF the
British empire and the United States
are closely allied by blood, inherit the
same literature and laws, hold the
same principles OF self government.

and humanity in the guidance of their
national policy. and are drawn together
by strong common interests In many

constant cooperation on the part of
the two nations"

of the prisoners of war held by Gem

president and Secretary Alger have
been giving considerable attention. The
putting of them aboard several of the
transports and sending them to Spain
has been discussed. To forward them
to their native land would remove the
possibility of the men again taking
arms against the United States and
would relieve General Shafter Of bur-

OvERTURES TO AGUINALD0.

Both Spantards ana Germans Made
Proposals Which He Declined.
London. July 1.-THE Hong Kong
correspondent of The Daily Mail says:
General Aguinaldo declares that both
the Spaniards and the Germans have
made overtures to him, though he de-
clines to divulge their import. United
States Consul Wildman asserts that
Admiral Dewey could compel the sur
render of Manila tomorrow If he liked.
He says his dispatches show that the
Germans continue to interfere, their
action causing much anxiety, as II is
said they are assisting the Spaniards
by landing -four and other supplies.
"The Germans have not been care
full to observe the naval courtesies re-
quired by the situation. They have
given Admiral Dewey much annoyance
by going against his regulations and by
insisting on sending their boats around
the bay after dark. At the same time
the German admiral (Von Diederichs)
informed Admiral Dewey that he has
no intention of giving offiense to Amer
lea, and that his movements are not
to be construed as any demonstration
of i'll will Admiral Dewey is said to
have replied, Perhaps it would be bet
ter if matters were managed little
differently.
THE German ships have done and
are still doing rash and impertinent
things like the Irene incident. The
Americans hope the Spaniards viii
continue their waste of ammunition in
fighting the rebels and then surrender
Manila without bloodshed.
Admiral Dewey, on the report that
the German fleet was landing large
quantities of rice and -four for the
Spanlards. decided to be more strict
and has put a pinnace at the end of
the jetty to overhaul all launches going
or coming"

spanish and Germans Fraternize.


Hong Kong, July 14.--Letters received
here from Cavite under date of July g.
say that while the Spanish steamer
Filipinas was hiding in the river near
Subig, the crew mutined and killed the
officers They then handed the steamer
over to the insurgents, who armed the
vessel and dispatched it to Subig for
the purpose of making an attack on
Grande Island. Continuing, the letters
confirm the story in regard to the ac-
ton of the German warship Irene and
the steps taken by Admiral Dewey to
prevent interference with the insurg-
ents, adding that the Spanish prison
ers, in spite of their protests were
handed over to the insurgents with the
captured arms and ammunition. The
Germans, it appears, fraternize with
the Spaniards and German officers are
often seen in the Spanish trenches.
Dysentery is reported to have broken
out among the American troops.
