THE NEW PACIFIC CABLE

An AIl-Amerlcan Wire Has Become

Across the Pacific.

Washington, d. c., Oct. President
Mckinley has determined to urge upon
congress again the authorization OF a
trans. Pacific cable and will announce that
naval survey shows that the route Sc
lected is practicable.
Surveys are being made by the collier
Nero, under the command of Lieutenant
Commander Hodges Because OF the com.
plete soundings taken in former years
between San Francisco and Hawaii there
is no necessity for further work there and
Lieutenant Commander Hodges has con
fined himself to the waters west OF Ha.
wau.
Reports received by Rear Admiral r.
B. Bradford, chief OF the bureau OF equip.
ment, show that the Nero first proceeded
directly to the Midway islands, sounding
on the way, and then zigzagged across
the line to determine the best points to
locate the proposed cable. From Midway
islands the Nero went to Guam. From
Guam the Nero steamed to Manila, then
returned TO Guam and later went to Yo-
kohama, where she is now preparing for
the return voyage. She will zigzag across

agre from Guam to Yokohama, make fur

ing the route from Guam to Manila and
from Guam to Yokohama, and the au-
thorites are confident that no obstacles
exist that can prevent the laying OF a
cable from San Francisco to Manila,
touching everywhere on American soil.
The idea OF running a branch line from
Guam TO Yokohama arises from the wish
OF the administration to make the cable
commercial success, though it is desired
primarily for government use. The presi-
dent appreciates that congress may de.
eide it impolitic to have the cable con.
structed and maintained at the expense of
the United States, and should private
company be allowed to take up the enter
prise the Yokohama line would be an i'm

Army Bill Passes senate.

Washington, March AFTER a con-
test that will be memorable in the
history of the senate, the compromise
army reorganization bill was passed.
Mr.. German of Maryland insisted that
his amendment providing that the
army should not be increased perma-.
nently, or beyond July /, 1901, be in
corporated in the measure. For sew
eral hours it appeared probable that
his insistence at least would throw the
bill over and perhaps defeat it. An
agreement was reached finally, how
ever, and Mr.. Germans amendment, in
a slightly modified form, was accepted.

TO SEIZE PHILIPPINES
GERM ANYgFRAN AND RUSSIA
ARE PLOTTING.
Massing All ships Possible in the Pacific,
sad Under Rretenseof Restoring Order
Win Attempt to Take Charge Of
the Philippine Islands.

San Francisco, March 1.-The Even
Ing Post publishesa sensational article
giving what purports to be some. of the
inside history of triple alliance which
1t claims has been formed between
Germany, France and Russia for the
purpose of impeding the expansion
policy of the United States, but more
particularly to undermine the increas-
ing power of the United States in the
Philippines.
The Post claims its informant has
just returned from Germany, where he
had entree into the highest diplomatic
circles, and he tells the following story:
Germany is planning great coup
detat that not only means the acquisi-
tion of the Philippine islands by that
government, but. the defeat of the
American policy of territorial expan-
sion. A German officer told me that
Russia and France had been drawn in to
a combination of the three powers, and
that Russia is getting all the ship pos
sible into the Pacific without exciting
attention; that Germany is negotiating
with Argentine and Chile for the pur-
chase of three war vessels from each
government These last Vessels will be
manned by German officers and men,
and will rendezvous at the Marshall
islands.
when the proper time comes, the
combined fleets of Germany, Russia and
France will take possession of the Phil
tppines under the pretext of restoring
order and protecting the citizens and
interests of those countries. The only
feature to operate against this plan, it
is argued, will be the action of Eng
land, and to combat this the attention
OF Great Britain will be taken up else
where"

FAITH IN UNCLE SAM,
German Interests in the Philippines Given
in His Care.

Washington, March 2.-The Ger
man government has set at rest effect
ually the rumors of purpose on its
part, directly or indirectly, to embar-
rass the United States in the Philip
pine islands and has given a signal
manifestation of its desire to promote
the most cordial relations between
Germany and the United States by
ordering the withdrawal of all vessels
of it's navy from the Philippine waters
and placing the lives and property OF
its subjects there under the protection
of the United States government.
This action is regarded as a master
stroke in diplomacy by which will be
removed all possibility of clash be-
tween German and American interests
in and about Manila and gives notice
to all the world and especially to any
Americans who entertain any suspicious
of sinister designs by Germany, of the
wishes and purposes of the German
ChhplIO W CulGlNdGS bllS AlAChuShlp VI
the United States.
The announcement of this act of the
German government came at the close
of day that had been full of sensa-
tional rumors of clash between the
Americans and Germans in Manila, the
rumors finally going so far as to assert
that Admiral Dewey had fred on and
sunk German vessel at Manila.
The German government followed its
announcement to the state department
of purpose to order its vessels away
from the Philippines with a formal
to the United States gov
eminent to undertake the protection
of all the Germans in the Philippines
not only in person but in property.
The president very promptly accepted
the trust and there will be no German
ships at either Manila or Iloilo to dis
turb the relations between the two
countries by forming the base of SEN
and false rumors.

to the People Their Mis-
sion to Cuba.

Havana, Feb. 2S.-The banquet al
the Tacon theater Saturday evening
proved a brilliant success, Cubans
generally regard the occurrences at the
fuction as the most promising auguires
of Cuban independence since the peace
protocol was signed, The theater was

gether with many prominent citizens

The boxes were filed with people
representing Havana's best society.
Among the speakers were Senior Pc
dro Lorento, Colonel Carlos Garcia,
Cualbeerto Gomez and DIR. Lanuza, sec
rotary of the department of justice.
The tendency of all speeches was to-
ward independence for Cuba, with
eulogy of General Gomez and asser-
tions that he must never more leave the
island.
The spectators called vociferously for
a speech from Major General Lee. His
remarks and those of General Brooke
were translated for the benefit of the
assembly by Senior Pablo Devernines,
secretary of the department of finance.
Both the American generals repeated
former statements of the military ad-
ministration, chiefly along the line of
assurance that the United States in
tendedto establish a stable government
in the island and then to deliver it to
the Cubans themselves. The assurances
were vociferously applauded.
Colonel Garcia explained the disin-
terest in the position of American mill
ltary officers in Cuba.
General Gomez himself did not speak,
owing to the hoarseness from which
he is suffering.
