UNITED STATES INTERESTED.
Sympathizes With England In the
Transvaal Difficulty.

| New York, July IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: AL
! though taking no active part in the eff
fort to obtain redress for the Outland-
ers in the Transvaal, the administra-
ton undoubtedly sympathizes with
Great Britain in the endeavor to OBJ
tain concessions from President
Kruger. Information in the ftate de-
partment shows the Americans in
business in the South African republic
are restricted as are the other Out
landers- This information is not a
protest from Americans, but has been
furnished by consular officers Who
under instructions, are closely follow
ing the negotiations between the Brit
ish and Boer governments. American
consuls' functions do not extend to
diplomatic representations and this
government would not care to antagon-
ize Great Britain by making direct
representations to the TransvaaPs
government with those external reIa-
tons the British government is charged
under a treaty with the Boer republic
Any negotiations, therefore, would OF
necessity have to pass through the
court of St. James.
The United States is watching the
present negotiations between the Brit
ish and Transvaal governments with

tory conclusion will benefit not only the
British and Americans, but other for
eigners as well. The report that Rear
Admiral Howison, who went to Pre-
toria from Delagoa bay and will join
his flagship, the Chicago. at Cape Town,
is under instructions to make diplo-
matte presentations to the Boer gov
eminent in the interests of Americans,
is declared untrue at both the navy
and state department, where it is said
no instructions to Admiral Howison to
make the trip, had been issued. Under
the naval regulations. an officer in
foreign territory is required to make
a report upon anything of interest to
the United States, so that it is expected
that the admiral will send to Washing
ton full report of the conditions he
finds in the Transvaal.
No representation has been made to |
the state department. as reported from |
Pretoria. touching the alleged inten-
ton of the Americans in the Trans |
vaal to become British citizens to i
avoid impressment in the Boer army.

San Francisco, July 1.-THE officers
of the Second Oregon regiment, while
very guarded in their statements. ad-
nit that the condition of the American
troops at Manila at the outbreak of
hostilities between Aguinaldo and the
United States was very critical.
The capture of a letter sent from in
size our lines in Manila to an emissary
of Aguinaido is probably all that saved
our army from a terrible disaster and
possible humiliation. The letter was
taken to General Otis, who found in it
the plans OF a plot to open the gates
of Manila, sack the city, murder the
guards and allow the insurgent army
10 pour into the American camps and
surprise the men.
The United States troops were under
arms all night to meet the expected at
tack, but spies had learned of the cap
ture OF the letter, and the only part of
the plot that was carried out was the
burning of a portion of the city.

London, July 1.-THE Digger News.
the Boer organ in London, has received
the following dispatch from Johannes
burg, dated July IA:
"A cable dispatch from the British
government has been received by the
Transvaal, conveying a cordial message
of warm approval of the volksraads
franchise proposals. The message also
suggests many alterations and tends
friendly advice.
THE Transvaal, in replying, gener-
ally accepts the suggestions, and con-
sideration of the reform bill, now be-
fore the raad, has been deferred in ac-
cordance with the British cabinets ad-
vice.
las a result of this development the
peace party has come out triumphant,
and Lord Salisbury is acclaimed as the
vindicator of the moderates."

MES. Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, said
there was not a word of truth in the
dispatch from beginning to end.

which prevails at Manila Their recep-
ton, however, was none the less en-
thusiastic, and the men who did such
good work thousands of miles away
from home will not soon forget the
warmth of their welcome in this city
Major General Shafter, who spoke a
few words to the returning volunteers
today, referred in expressive terms to
the good work they had done during
their term of service, and expressed the
hope that all volunteer regiments would
make an equally good showing.

SENSATIONAL REPORTS.
Foreign Warships Said to Be Landing
Troops at Manila.

Madrid, February 27.-An official dispatch
from Manila says: THE situation here IL
very serious. The foreign warships are dis
embarking troops. General Rios will leave
Manila and go to zamboanga, Island of
Mindanao."
The government has received long dis
patch from General Rios at Manila, but re-
fuses to impart its contents.
Ell Impartial. which asserts that 1t Is in
position to know the truth of the situa-
tion at Manila, says:
There Is constant fighting between the
Americans and the Tagalos. The courage
and stubbornness of the latter have caused
great anxiety to the Americans, who do
not conceal their belief that the war will
be long and desperate one. There is the
greatest alarm among the foreigners In
Manila, and the commanders of the foreign
warships have decided to land forces to
protect their subjects"
Washington, February N.-The govern
ment officials here discredit the statement
that the foreign warships are disembarking
troops at Manila. Spanish sources of in
formation respecting affairs in the Philip
pine islands, they say, are not to be re..ed
upon. as the press and people OF Spain do
not hesitate to circulate sta Elements mimi
cal to the interests of this country. Sec
rotary Alger was shown the dispatch last
night and, without entering into a discuss
sion of 1t, simply said he had heard no
news of that sort.

Except for an occasional volley and some
individual firing by the rebels from the

in the vicinity of San Pedro Macati, all was
quiet along the entire line last night.
In Manila absolute quiet prevails, the
streets are deferted and the only sounds

the occasional clatter of hoofs of an off,
GERS horse.

ence, have decided to accept war risks at

known there Is need for her and the troops
she brings to General Otis.
The officials of the war department were
asked today why General Otis had refused
to recognize the commissioners who had
come to Manila from the insurgent head
quarters at Malolos, when thew came to
seek peace. The reply was that General
Otis was acting with the<greatest proprie-
ty in this matter He was careful not to
commit his government to any recognition
of Aguinaldo that would make a precedent
and then there was always the best of rea-
sons for Withholding confidence of every
act of the insurgents where the placing OF
trust would imperil American lives and
interests. The Filipino insurgents will
have difficulties if they submit uncondition-
ally, for there is no purpose on the part of
the American commanders to wreak ven
geance upon a submissive foe. In addition
to the military reasons why General Otis
should be very cautious in entering into
any entanglng negotiations with the in
surgents, there Is also the ever-present
danger that he might, by failing to be eau
tious in this particular, give to some jeal-
Gus foreign power pretext for formal
recognition of the instruction, with all the
embarrassing consequences likely to fol-
low.
