SITUATION IN CHINA.

The United States has not been an indifferent
spectator Of the extraordinary events transpir-
ing in the Chinese empire, whereby portions OF
its maritime Or ovinoss are passing under the
control of various European powers; but the
prospect that the vast commerce which the
energy Of our citizens and the n cessity Of our
staple productions for Chinese uses has built
up in those regions may not be preJudiced
through any exclusive treatment by the new
occupants has obviated tho need OF our country
becoming an actor in the scene
Our position among nations having large
Pacific coast and constantly expanding direct
trade with the farther orient gives US the
equitable claim to consideration and friendly
treatment in this regard and 1t will be my aim
to subserve our largo interests In that quarter
by all means appropriate to the constant policy
of our government The territories of Kiao
Chow, of Wei-Hal- Wei, and OF Port Arthur and

and Russia respectively for terms OF years will.

national commerce during such alien

treatment Of American citizens AMI their trade

the desire of this government would appear to
be realized
OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.
Our relations with Great Britain have con-
tinued on tho most friendly feeln;. Assel t.

SPANISH IGNORANCE.
Soldiers Believed Dewey Had Been De-
feated at Manila and Knew Nothing
of Ceryera,s Defeat.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 1s.--Major
Mlley has just returned from Baracoa
and SaEua de Tenamo. At the two
places there were 1,756 officers and men
surrendered, 1921 stands of arms and
$4,000 rounds Of ammunition, five
Krupp guns ranging in caliber from
five inch down to two inches. The
troops were very short Of food. but Is
days rations were given them by Ma
jor Miley and a large amount Of Red
Cross supplies landed at the same time
at both places. These troops knew
nothing whatever of the destruction of
Cervera's fleet, the fall of Santiago or
any later events. They accepted the
situation, however, and appeared to be
glad at the opportunity of getting
home.
Major Miley states that on the door
Of the commanding officer was posted
a bulletin purporting to be telegram
from the naval commander at Manila
informing Saeasta Of his great victory
over Dewey at Manila, and Sagasta' s
thanks to him for the same.
The country I'm the vicinity Of these
towns is in the same condition as that
here-utterly destroyed and grown up
The inhabitants said that in IS months
they would be able to harvest their
crop of bananas. which Is the principal
product Of BaraCOa. A regiment of in
surgents were found in the vicinity Of
each place, camped within a few hun
dred yards of the Spanish troops, calm
ly observing each other.

MANILA'S CAPTURE EASY
The Entire Spanish Colony Was Anxious
and Ready to Accept the
Inevitable.

San Francisco, Aug. 1S.-Advicas
from Manila received yesterday by the
returned transport Australia says the
news of the disaster to Admiral Ger
Yera's squadron and the turning back
OF Camara's fleet completely demor-
allied the garrison of Manila, and the
entire Spanish colony, believing that
peace negotiations were already under
way, was anxious and ready to ac-
cept the inevitable and surrender the
city whenever Admiral Dewey should
see fit to demand It, This statement
was backed up by the fact that not a
single shot had been fired upon the
United States troops, although they
were landed within two miles of Fort
Malate In broad daylight, on an open
beach, and despite the fact that they
had camped in the open fields about a
mile from the trenches occupied by the
insurgents.
Furthermore the cruiser Boston and
Gunboat Callao, which had been COW
ering the landing of the troops had
been anchored within range of the
Spanish guns for five days unmolested
Had the Spaniards been merely wait
ing for favorable opportunity to fire
at close range, both the McCuloch and
Concord had been cruising at the
mouth of the Pasig river, almost un-
der the guns of Fort st. Mesa, for sew
eral days, yet not a single shot had
been fired in their direction.
The insurgents also discontinued the
aggressive attitude they had been
maintaining before the United States
troops landed. Their sudden inactiv-
ity may have been due to the fact that
Aguinaldo was not consulted to the
extent that he considered compatible
with his position as general of the in
surgent forces.

No More Infantry Men VIII Be Sent

ARTILLERY RECRUITS ARE SCARCE.
Many Applicants Rejected-The Recruiting
officer Goes to Philadelphia to Re

Close Tonight. Halle
ton Next Place.

The recruiting of men in town for service
in Uncle Sans Army is on the wane since
the enlsting of recruits for the infantry has
been discontinued and only applications for
the heavy artillery are received. Many of
the men who were willing TO go into the in
tantry hesitate in making application for
admission to tho artillery because
they do not exactly understand the
difference between the two services.
But this is not the sole cause for the falling
of. Most of the men who applied yesterday
for admission as recruits in the artillery were
rejected, owing to deficiency as to educational
qualifications. All applicants must be able
to speak the English language fluently, read
and write and have knowledge of arithme-
tic. At the present time there do not appear
to be a superfurity of applicants with these
qualifications.
But two recruits left town to-day. They
were Jacob Wllkaitis and Robert FOrmus,
both giving their birth places as Russia
These two men are the last to be enlisted foI
the infantry. They were sworn in yesterday
morning. but could not arrange their affairs
to get of with the squad yesterday, and this
afternoon started on their journey for Camp
Lithia Springs without the usual drum corps
escort.
None of the artillery recruits will leave be-
fore tomorrow. They will go direct to Fort

will 20. Eight have been sworn in and sil

and it is quite likely that he will prepare t

this was the Leutenant's impression before
he left. When the station here is closed one

his left side severely squeezed yesterday by
being caught and dragged by car in the
Indian Ridge mines. He is confined to bed
at his home and under the care of DR.. ]. S.
Callen. 1t appears that when going out with
a trip he told the door boy to arrange the
switch latches for the return trip. The boy
understood Sheldon had arranged the latches
and did not alter them. When alighting on
the return trip Snedden dropped between
the spreader and the car. He was caught
and knocked down by the latter, but fortu.
nately the wheels did not pass over him.
