Washington, Sept 14.-In an official
report presented to his government on
the operations Of American fleets dur
ing the war, Prince Lieven, a captain
in the Russian Navy, writes most en-
Enthusiastically, of the conduct of both
officers and men and CT the marvellous
discipline that was enforced, which en-
abled the ships to be so magnifcgently
fought when the opportunity arose for
a clash with those of Spain. The prince
early in the war applied for permission
to accompany the feet under Admiral
Sampson, and was present with it
throughout the greater part of the war.

TROUBLESOME AoUINALDO.
Hong Kong Correspondents Think 1t Was
Unwise to Take Him Back to Cavite.

AuWlse TO lhke MIN bhth " NhhAANs
San Francisco, Sept l4.-The re-
ports of Manila correspondents sent
to the Hong Kong papers, which ar
rived to-day by the steamer from
China, show that the attitude of Agui-
naldo has created great uneasiness on
the part Of American and English OBJ
servers. The correspondent of the
Hong Kong China Mail, after speaking
of the great skill shown by Aguinal-
do in avoiding friction with Gen. An
derson, says:
There can be only one construction
placed on the latest developments of
the navy policy. Aguinaldo and his
supporters evidently imagine that tire
United States will withdraw her troops
as soon as Spain is conquered, leav-
ing the revolutionary troops in pos
session. Yet all observers admit that
there can be no dual control. As
time goes on it becomes more clearly
evident that the United States Off
cials who were responsible for taking
the insurgent leaders to Cavite may
have made a grievous mistake.
