This" continued the speaker, 'provok-
ed natural Indignation, which may have
serious consequences If our neighbors
do not mend their ways An outburst
of cheering greeted this threat of the
colonial secretary. 1t was matter for
congratulation, Mr.. Chamberlain after
wards asserted, that the worst of these
"disgraceful attacks did not appear
in the German papers. H.
A new triple-alliance between the
Teutonio race and the two great
branches of the Anglo-Saxons, would
said the secretary, be a potent influence
in the future of the world. The speak
er explained that he used the word "al-
lance" but, he added, it mattered little
whether they had an alliance commit
ted to paper or IAN understanding
which existed in the minds Of the
statesmen of the respective countries.
I can foresee, said the secretary, many
things in the future which must cause
anxiety to the statesmen of Europe,
but in which our interests are clearly
the same as Germany's, and in which
the understanding of which I have
spoken In the case of America, might if
extended to Germany do more perhaps
than any combination of arms to pre-
serve the peace of the world.

BRITISH FOREIGN POLICY.
Important Words by Chamberlain-A
New Triple Alliance.

London, Nov 30.-Joseph Chamber
lain, the secretary Of state for the colo
MES in speech at luncheon at Lei
cester to-day, said he was deeply graft
fed that the foreign relations Of Great
Britain were so satisfactory and he as
serted that the country owed debt of
gratitude to Lord Salisbury for the
great improvement in Great Britain S
position. 1t was especially gratifying
he pointed out, to know the friendly re-
lations existing between the Anglo
Saxon branches, saying that that ex-
listing between the United States and
Great Britain was indeed a guarantee
of the peace of the world. This state
ment was greeted with cheers.
II Was OF The utmost Importance, Mr..
Chamberlain further remarked, that
Great Britain should not remain iso-
lated in Europe, and her natural alli-
ance was with the great German en-
pire. They had had difficulties with
Germany, but their interests and sem
timents We're the same, and an under
standing between the Teutonic and
Anglo Saxon races might do more than
any combination of armies to preserve
the peace Of the world. The world, he
asserted was not governed entirely by
interest. Sentiment was one of the
greatest features.
Referring to the attacks of the for
eign press, Mr.. Chamberlain said these
newspapers had not even spared the
almost sacred person of the queen"

London, Dec. lit has been long
since public speech has been deliv-

as Mr.. Chamberlain's yesterday. Ev-
cry provincial paper important or un-
important, has leading editorial this
morning discussing the colonial secre-

radical papers naturally are little

the conservative and moderate liberal
organs comment upon the speech with
great approval, alleging that there was

who are natural allies for peace and
civilization.

Manila, Dec J., 1880 a. m.-When the
landing party from the United States
battleship Oregon, under Lieutenant
Commander McCrackin took the towr
of Vigan, province of South Ilocos, last
Sunday they found there an escaped
prisoner, A. l.. Sonnenshein, who furn
ished the first authentic account of the
experience Of Lieutenant James G. Gill
more, of the United States gunboat
Yorktown, who, with a party of the
Yorktown, was captured by the insur-
gents near Baler on the east coast OF
Luzon last April, while making an ex-
animation of the mouth of the river in
an armed boat. Mr.. Sonnenshein was
imprisoned at Abra for a long time
with Lieutenant Gilmore and seven
sailors, but contrived to escape carry
ing a concealed note, written in naval
cipher dated Abra, November 19, ad-
dressed to amy naval officer and say
ing: you may have perfect confidence
in anything the bearer says" The note
wae signed "Gillmore''
According to Mr. Sonnenshein, when
Lieutenant Gillmores launch entered
the river from Baler harbor under
cover of Ensign w. HI. Standley's gun,
the landing party was received with
three volleys. Two of the Americans
We're killed and two mortally wounded.
Every man was hit, Lieutenant Gill
more received flesh wound in the leg
and his foot stuck fast in the mud, it
was choice between surrender and
being slaughtered. Lieutenant Gilmore
asked the terms of release. The insur-
gents proposed that he should procure
the delivery to them of the arms and
munitions Of the Spanish garrison, un-
dertaking, if this were accomplished, to
send the Spaniards and Americans to
the Yorktown. A sailor of Lieutenant
Gillmore's party carried this proposition
to the garrison. The Spanish COM
mandant replied that it was an insult
to Spanish arms and expelled the sail
or, Spanish soldier firing upon him
as he went.
The Americans were then bound hand
and foot and taken to San Isidro where
General Luna ordered their execution.
They were marched to the Plaza and,
in the presence of great crowd, were
aligned to be executed Lieutenant
Gilmore said: AS an American officer
and gentleman l protest against being
shot with my hands tied" Aguinaldo

When General Lawton approached San
Isidro last June, the Americans We're
to Abra, where they were kept
confined in cells for two months. Sub
they were allowed greater
liberty, but the report that Lieutenant
Gilmore was given a house and a SER
want Is untrue. He had the same quar-
ters as the men, and the Americans
were given the same allowance as the
Spanish prisoners-five cents day
with which to buy rice and bananas,
the only rations.
