A GERMAN INTIMATION.

Berlin, Nov. 25.-The Deutsche Tages Zeitung says: If the English press continues in it's arrogance to represent England as the paramount power and Germany as the vassal in South Africa, an increase, if possible, of the dislike felt here for our trans channel cousins will be the conse- quence.'

BIDDERS ARE NOT SATISFIED
Report of Board of Construction Net
 Yet Submitted.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The board of construction has not yet submitted it's written report upon the bids received last week for the construction of six new 3,5OO-ton cruisers, and therefore 1t will not be possible to make the final awards for day or two at least. The spirit of rivalry among the bidders is very strong. and the department is all ready beginning to feel their influence
 based on the newspaper statements as
 to the nature of the awards that the
 construction board agreed to make at its last meeting.
 Townsend & Downey of New York are not disposed to accept the action of the board in rejecting their bid which was the lowest one submitted by any of the bidders. It is supposed that their failure to secure favorable action from the board is due to the fact that they have never yet built a warship. and have not yet completed their plant. Trigg x Go. of Richmond are not altogether satisfied with the award of one ship, and will make an effort to induce Secretary Long to contract with them for the construc- ton also of the nineteen-knot cruiser designed by them, and the cost of which is not much greater than for the slower cruisers designed by the de partment

A FALLEN GOVERNMENT
The End of AguinaIdO'S Rule
 is at Hand.
The Leader is Deserted by the Politi- cians and the Ruling Power of His Cabinet is a Prisoner at Manila-A Dwindled Army.

Manila, Nov. 25.-The news which the steamship Brutus brings from Dagupan dispeIs all doubts that the so-called Filipino republic is crumb- ling like a house of cards. Aguinaldo is deserted or being abandoned by the politicians, and the army which a fortnight ago was entrenched at Tar las and exercised a de facto govern ment over nine-tenths of the people of the people of Luzon, is a fugitive in the mountains, with small hope of re- establishing the machine. The army is scattered in the hills on both sides of the railroad and widely separated attachments are within the cordon which Generals Lawton and Wheaton have cemented
 The ruling spirit of the cabinet is a prisoner in Manila, white elephant on the hands of the authorities. and the small fry are tumbling over one another to get to Manila. Three pro visional governors have arrived in Manila to request general Otis to in stall them in their old offices under the new regime.
 Last night parties of insurgents made feeble attacks on linus and the zapote bridge. The only large force of insurgents known to remain are those in the Cavite province, at San Mateo and in the Zambeles mountains, though several seaportse have large garrisons.
 Aguinaldo began his retreat with 2,OOO men under General Gregorio del Pillar. That force was probably brought to its present proportions by desertion. The last definite news as to Aguinaldo's whereabouts is that he passed through Trinidad, east of Arin- gay, toward BayombOng, escorted by 200 of the Bulacan battalion.

Washington, Nov. 25.-President Me Kinley received a number of callers this morning, and at the same time did some work on his message, which is in a satisfactory state of advancement, despite the fact that it touches upon more important matters than ever be- fore handled by him. President Me Kinley. prior to the assembling of other congresses, had to cut short his visiting list that he might have time to work or his message, but this year he has kept pace with his work and seen practically all of the callers.
 President Mckinley has appointed John Hyde, statistician of the depart ment of agriculture, as a member of the United States board on geographi- cal names, to represent the department of agriculture.

USED BY THE FILIPINOS.
Beautiful Specimen of Bolo Received
 From the Philippines.

Washington. Nov. 25.-A very beau tiful specimen of that curious weapon of war which has figured so often in the official reports of the war in the Philippines. the bolo, has been received by Adjutant General Corbin from Gen eral Schwan. whose forces captured this arm with others during one of their expeditions.
 This particular boIo is so cxquisitely wrought as to lead to the suspicion that 1t may have been intended more as a symbol of authority and an or namentcd weapon than for use Tn the field. It consists of a short, broad lance-s shaped blade about eighteen in- ches in length, by nearly three inches in breadth at it's broadest dimension The blade tapers from the middle to- ward the haft as well as toward the point, making the weapon strongly re- ever, it is not double-edged, but tapeis from a thick back to an extremely keen edge on the other side of the blade. The handle. or haft, has a heavy silver ferrule, heavily chased. and is made of an extremely beautiful piece of native mahogany or some kin dred wood cunningly curved to fit the grip of the hand. and terminating with an exquisite specimen of ornate carv- ing in a conventional design. The tive wood, with rough outline designs carved thereon. The whole weapon IS at once much more beautiful in outline and more formidable than the famous Cuban machete.

CUBAN ANNEXATION
4 Delegation in Washington tC
 Consult the President.
The Main Object of Their Visit Re gards Sugar-They Say That Cuba Has But One Future and That is Annexation.

Washington, Nov 25.-Alvaristo Man. talvo, a rich Cuban planter, and Fran cisco Figueras, editor of the Epoca, an annexation paper of Havana, ac- companied by William O. Mcdowell, president of the Cuban-American league, arrived here tonight to consult President Mckinley, Secretary Root and Secretary Gage about the future of the island. This delegat tion represents which all of the planters of the island belong, and the primary object of their visit is to secure the support not only of the administration, but the cham bers of commerce throughout the country, in securing a reduction of the duty on sugar, so as to place Cuba at least on a par with the British colonies under the reciprocity treaties. Mir Me DOwell, who is an enthusiastic annex ationist said that Cuba had but one flu ture, and that was annexation to the United States.
 ''The substantial men of Cuba" he continued, which, of course. means the property owning class, are unanimous ly in favor of annexation. I propose to take advantage of this occasion to present the matter to President Me Kinley. If a vote should be taken in Cuba under the old Spanish law, which is now in force and requires voter to pay taxes to the value of s25 before he is permitted to vote at the municipal elections and $50 to enable him to cast his ballot in the government elections, it would be unanimous for annexation. If Cuba is given independence, there would be a serious revolution, which would grow out of the hatred existing between the Spaniards and the uned- ucated and unemployed elements of the Cubans, which are at the mercy of in triguing and crafty politicians. If the United States forces should remain in Cuba and that island should be united to this country, all this trouble would be avoided and the people would be peaceful and prosperous. Before long the annexation sentiment will be so strong that it will be hard to ignore it.
 ''There is only one bank in Cuba which will loan money to the Cubans upon merchandise alone, but it will not advance any loans for agricultural purposes. The Spanish banks will not make any loans at all on products on account of the uncertainty. There are but 100 plantations which have not been ruined by the war, but only ten are being worked, because the others cannot secure money with which to be- gin operations. In reality, there has only been change of flag, and we are now living practically under the old regime, having the same laws, same customs, with more employees and of flee seekers than we had before, so that no one wants to work except for the government, as there is no cer- tainty about remuneration except for the government employees"

CURRENCY LEGISLATION
Outline of Measure Likely to Be h.
 troduced in Congress.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Leading re- publicans who have arrived in Wash ington say there is no doubt that d bill which will materially improve cur rency conditions is to be passed at the next session of congress. The measure may not provide specifically for pay ment of bonds in gold, and it may not contain a formal recognition of the gold standard, but that is to be it's meaning. Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance committee, has the mat ter in charge and he will push it at the opening of congress. It is almost cer- tain that a provision will be male for the redemption of greenbacks in gold and for their retention in the treasury after their redemption, unless paid out in exchange for gold. The result Of that will be to break the endless chain about which there nas hean so much talk. Gold would rarely if ever be offered in exchange for greenoacks. Such a provision is in line with the presidents recommendations.
 A proposition is also to be made fer retiring the treasury notes and for cOining the silver bullion in the treas ury to be used in their place. It is by no means certain that such a measure can be passed.
 The bill to be passed probably will give national banks authority to issue circulation up to the par value of their bonds deposited in the treasury. All circulation above ninety per cent of par value of bonds deposited. to be subject to a substantial tax. The ob- ject of that is to obtain elasticity in the circulating medium and to insure the issue of the additional circulation only in times of emergency. That is at present the practice in Germany. and the system is found to work success fully there.
 Beyond those measures little is likely to be done for there are enough silver men in the senate to filibuster and pro long debate indefinitely if radical leg
 
 however, that permanently retiring the greenbacks, excpet when issued in ex- change for gold, will have as whole some an effect as an issue of gold bonds.
 Some senators are earnestly in favor of retiring all denominations of paper money below $10. It is believed that by forcing gold and silver in small de- nomination into circulation, people will be taught effectively that gold is the more valuable metal. It is hardly hoped, however, that such a measure could be passed. Senator Aldrich is practical, and he will endeavor to press nothing which stands no chance of succeeding, or which will precipitate long and profitless discussion.
