FOREIGNERS FIRED
The TsgaIs Think if VIII Take a Long
 Time 10 Whip America.

Manila, May, 13.-Aguinaldo has issued orders that all foreigners must leave insurgent territory within forty eight hours. There are only a few commercial men there,. mostly Ger mans and English. Aguinaldo be- lieves that by refusing them the nights of non-combata he can force their governments to recognize the bellig- erency of his so-called government in order that they may treat for the safety of their subjects
 A Filipino priest who talked with Tagal brought Father McKinnon a copy of letter written by Aguinaldo, asking his opinion as to the advisabil- ity of surrendering, saying:J T fear the long warfare that will be neces- sary to conquer the United States will drain the country's resources too much

A NEST OF BLASTS.

Jamestown, Cal. May 13.-Some- thing quite new in railroad construc- ton was inaugurated today by the Sierra Railway company of California, at the cutoff on the road near Chinese camp, where the company Is using the largest steam shovel in the west. The occasion was the simul- taneous discharge of 10000 pounds of giant and Judsen powder in a nest of blasts. The explosion was a perfect success, dislodging in the neighbor-. hood; of 5000 cubic yards of rock and earth. A special train brought visi- tors from Oakdale and other points on the road to witness the unusual sight. Huge rocks were blown into the air and some of them fell half mile from the explosion

A FOUR MONTHS CRUISE
Dewey VIII Return Home by Easy
 Stages.

Washington, May 13.-Admiral Dewey today cabled the navy depart men from Manila that he had complet- ed plans respecting the Boston and had concluded to allow the cruiser to come to the United States at once. The admiral said nothing further about his own return to the United States.
 Officials of the navy department ex- press some surprise at the announce ment through the Associated Press cablegfam from Manila that Dewey would occupy four months in the cruise, for this period is at least twice the time required to make a straight cruise. It is supposed that he desires to delay his arrival in the United States until the hot weather has passed, being already facilitated from long exposure to the heat of the Philippines. The admiral will stop about two weeks at Hong Kong.

A Probability That it Will Be
 Successfully Carried Out.
WILHELM HAS IT IN HAND
The Chief Obstacles Offered by inc Aararian Newspapers in Repre- senfafiOnS Thai There Is NOfh- ina fO Germany In Close Com merciaI Relations With inc UnI- ted States.

Berlin, May 13.-Negotiations for a commercial treaty between the United States and Germany have now been taken up in earnest at this end of the line. The United States ambassador, MT. Andrew D. White, expects that despite formidable obstacles that must be overcome, it will be satisfactory to both nations, and will crown the eff forts of the representatives of the two governments
 There is every reason for saying that the German government and mo- tably the foreign minister, Baron Won Buelow, will do his best to overcome the difficulties of the task of formu- lating such a treaty, The foreign office is having the potential aid of Emperor William, as well as the systematic cC- operation of the representatives of all the German states in the bundesrath. and is determined not to permit the ob- stinate aversion of the powerful agrarian interests to stand in the way cf such an important bond with Amer lea.
 The emperor made clear the fact that he views such a treaty most favor ably in the course of recent express s1onS to Baron Won Buelow. The main difficulty that MT. White has encoun- tered thus far in the preliminary con- ferences at the ministry of foreign af- fairs is the erroneous idea that tas taken hold of the German mind and has been systematically fostered by the agrarian newspapers that trade with the United States has latterly been distinctly unproitable.

 A visit will be first paid to Boston, from where the squadron will make a weeks cruise at sea, touching at Portland and winding up at Bar Har- bor in time to participate in the social festivities which will then be at their height.
 The details of the. manuevers at Newport and along the New England coast have not yet been finally ar ranged. Admiral Sampson will have a conference at New York with Captain Stockton, president of the war col lege, at. wtich the details of the man euvers in Narragansett bay will prob ably be completed.
 The plans for the North Atlantic squadron contemplate a continuance of it's present organization during the coming summer and fall, and practi- cally preclude the possibility of the detachment of any of the vessels of the fleet in the near future. The pro- ject for the re-establishment of the European station, with Admiral Schley in command. seems to have been abandoned

 The following resolution was passed today:
 Whereas, We view with alarm the constantly increasing power and law lesSness or the trust combines which threaten our homes with destitutIou, our people with bondage, our nation with dishonor and our flag with shame; and,
 w nereaS, WOrklngmen who have assembled peaceably in compliance with the letter of the United States constitution and petitioned for relief, have been brutally murdered by paid Rssassins; and,
 Whereas, These company murderers of those unfortunate brother labor CTS have not been brought to justice, but on the contrary have been com- Inended for their cofwardIy and in- human acts; therefore, be it
 Resolved, By the Western Labor union, in convention assembled, that we place our unqualified condemnation on the deeds of Sheriff Martin and his associated paid assassins and his brutal and cowardly murders of de- fenseless and peaceable coal miners at Hazelton, Pa, and that we call on all :rue and honorable citizens to arise in their right as sovereign people in de- fense of the constitution of the United States, which guarantees to each and every one an equal right to life, lib- erty and pursuit of happiness

EX-SEORETARY SHERMAN.
He Will Go to Ohio, But Not to Re
 Enter Political Life. !

Washington, May 13.-Mr John Sherman will leave Washington next week for his home in Mansfield, Ohio. where he will spend the summer, re- turning to this city in the fall. He is going solely to visit his old friends and surroundings and to keep out of Washington during the heated term.
 To a reporter today MT. Sherman gave emphatic denial to statement published in a New York newspaper that intended to. re-enter political life. He does not propose such a course. he ssid, and has not said that he would.
 MT. Sherman shows a remarkable improvement in health. If it were possible, it would seem that his recent illness really benefited him, for he is much more robust-looking than he was two or three months ago. His voice IS strong and steady, his eye has it's old-time brightness and firmness. and he shows that he realizes his inn proved condition. He seems to have taken a new lease on life, and those who remember his enfeebled condi- tion prior to his late illness would hardly recognize in him today the same man. iA

THE FIRST REVERSE

 Defeated at San Diego.
If Was However a Close Score and inc Southern CaIifoFnidnS We're Surprised af inc Run for inc noney Given by Their Visitors.

San Diego, Cal, May 13.-(Special.) The ball game here today between the DeMund nine from Phoenix and the local team resulted, in a victory for the home team, although it was not easily won, the score being Il to g. It was an enthusiastic game and there was a large number of spectators. The San Diego nine, which has made an enviab.e base ball record On the coast, was greatly surprised that Phoenix could present so strong team
 Heavy batting marked the progress of the Phoenix aggregation, and the lccal- team depended mostly on its out field playing, which with hardly an exception was like machine work. The Phoenix boys have gained the respect of everybody by their gentlemanly conduct on the grounds. It is probable that the score might have been slight ly altered if the umpiring has been entirely impartial.
