canoe of this inpouring of manufacturing
firms is that the Americans are not only un-
derselling US here but they are making their
agencies bases from which they are grad

Europe. I know Of an immense Cleveland
firm which established an agent here who
for year did not undertake an English

has more orders from England alone than
it can supply, and the agent has been in

months

LONDON, June 1.-THE Transvaal situa-

cussion In Great Britain and even the con-
tinent has caught the disease. though I'm a
less virulent form. Outwardly the question
seems to have advanced but little. though
those who are inside think the cause Of the
uitlanders has gone up several pegs. The
publication OF the Transvaal blue book, with
the emphatic denunciation Of Transvaal

graphs the alleged political, financial and
judicial incompetencies OF the administra-

AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
ArLsy and Navy Will Cooperate to
End the Philippine War.

NEW YORK, June I7.--According to a
Washington correspondent Of the Journal
and Advertiser two important decisions
were made at the meeting of the Cabinet
held just before the President started for
Holyoke, referring to the campaign in the
Philippines. First. that In view Of the
strength of Aguinaldo In the north, as de-
veloped in dispatches from General Otis,
the aggressive campaign against the rebel
chief must be renewed with vigor; second,
that the army and navy must cooperate to
maintain a tight blockade of Luzon. in or
der to prevent the landing of supplies of any
character for the rebel forces. In renewing
the campaign against Aguinaldo the Presi-
dent is pursuing the same policy as that
now in operation against the rebel forces in
the south. President Mckinley expressed
surprise that the insurgent forces should be
able. apparently. TO procure inexhaustible
supplies of arms and ammunition. and di-
rections wefe cabled to Admiral Watson to
cooperate with General Otis in trying to
prevent the landing of munitions of war
the Island of Luzon A blockade of the
island was reported established some time
ago, but every encounter with the IN
surgents demonstrated that they still have
abundant supplies.
Cabinet officers are Of the opinion IL
strict blockade is maintained the insurgents
will quickly exhaust their resources.
Especial reasons for using extraordinary
vigilance in maintaining the blockade are
now said to exist English and American
merchants in Hong Kong who are helping
the Filipino Junto are showing great activ-
ity and are said to be offering enticing in
ducements to blockade runners to carry
arms and ammunition to Aguinaldo.
telegram was sent to Major General
Shafter. in charge at the Preside, San
Francisco. directing him to use the utmost
expedition in preparing the transports Zea-
landia. Valencia. Sheridan and Pennsyl-
vania for the trip to Manila. Although ii is
deemed imperative by the President to get
reinforcements TO General Otis as soon as
possible, the lack of transports may delay
some of them until next month. The first
expedition starting June 22 on the Pennsyl-
vania and Zealandia, will carry six troops
of the Fourth Cavalry. two companies of
the Fourteenth Infantry and as many re-
cruits as possible. The second expedition.
starting June "a on the Sheridan and Va
lencia, will consist of the Nineteenth In
fantry and recruits.
A point of Importance to the many appli-
cants for commissions in the volunteer serv-
ice was decided at Fridays meeting. Gen.
Otis Is to name officers for the three regi-
ments of volunteers only in proportion to
the number OF men in the Philippines who
re-enlist. II only three thousand should en-
list there General Otis would appoint only
eighty or ninety of the total $50 officers that
would be needed. the rest OF the officers be-
ing appointed by the President from appli-
cants in the United States.

SITUATION AT THE HAGUE.
Work OF the Conference Blocked b
Germany's Attitude.

THE HAGUE, June 17.-It Is important
that the present situation regarding the
board OF arbitration question be clearly un-
derstood. The work Of the peace conference
has been virtually suspended on this point,
and probably will not be resumed for some
days. On semi-official authority 1t is said
the situation. Ii practically this: The Ger
man government was opposed on principle
TO an organized arbitration court. and IL Is
found these views existed long prior to the
conference and that instructions to that ef-
feet were given the German delegates. The
conviction obtained in Berlin that other
powers. notably France, would instruct
their delegates similarly. AS he conference
proceeded the spirit OF conciliation advanced
and the desire TO accomplish important per-
manent results was manifested. With this
grew up schemes for an organized arritra-
ton board. notably the British proposals to
which nearly all the members rallied with
the authoritative support of their respective
governments. This at once left the German
delegates In a peculiar condition, for they
were not prepared. The difficulty was not
ut The Hague. but at Berlin.
In order to relieve the situation, Count
Won Munster. head Of the German deIega-
tion, after a long conference yesterday.

In the meantime the delegates of the
