UNDER OUR FLAG.
Germany Feels Sure About Safety Of Her
interests at liolo.

New York, Jan. THE New York
Stats Heitung will publish tomorrow
the following from its Berlin special
cable correspondent:
II am informed from an unquestion-
able source, that after the surrender Of
Iloilo. the Spanish general tried to in
duce the German consul at Manila and
the German vice consul at Iloilo, to
take charge of the protection of the
private interests OF the Spanlards. The
two consuls wired to Berlin for in
structions, and received the following
answer: 1.-THE German empire being a
neutral power, is not in position to
take charge Of functions which could
easily be construed as Partially for
Spain? All we endeavor TO obtain in
the Philippines is protection and un-
restricted movement of our commerce.
Since we see that both are secured un-
der the United states flag, we are full
ly confident that there will never arise
a situation which could cause us to de-
viate from the strictly neutral attitude
observed by US up TO this day"
The correspondent adds that the
Washington government has been no.
tilted of this declaration.

SAGASTA'S FALL.
Senior silveIa Believes That it is Only a
QUESTION of Short Time.


Madrid, Jan. AT the meeting this
evening of the Conservative Club, Senior
Silvela formally confirmed the previous
ly reported complete agreement be-
tween himself and Gen. Polavieja and
made an important announcement Of
the conservative policy.
Senior Silvela said he recognized Senior
Sagasta'S service to the throne but
censured the premier's policy in Cuba.
and especially his conduct with regard
to the war between Spain and the
United States. He declared that the
present cortes was morally dissolved
and said he believed that the fall Of
Sagasta was imminent
The financial question, Senior Silvela
said, he regarded as most important He
Favored tax ON all personal property,
the increasing Of indirect taxation and
the Erecting of large economies in pen
sions; supporting the maintenance Of
the concordat with the vatican and adj
vocated the reorganization Of the ad-
ministration of Justice, freeing 1t from
the influence of politics He favored also
electoral reforms and the establishment
of a ministry of public works and com
merce having control of posts and tele-
graphs and maintained the necessity
for governing a powerful impulse to the
industrial resources of the country.
Regarding foreign politics, Senior Sill
vela held that SPANS geographical po-
sition precluded her becoming a terri
tory governed by foreigners, adding:
I'VE must therefore reorganize the
army and navy so as to be in a position
to defend the country in case of neces-
sity." In conclusion, Senior Silvela de-
clared that he did not believe Senior
Sagasta was DESTROYS of retaining office
The cabinet will meet tomorrow, and
on Monday. Premier Sagasta will go to
the palace to notify the queen regent
of the ministerial crisis.

Ex-senator Edmund's Declare ton Regard
ing PAYMENT of the TWENTY Millions.

New York, Jan. Tx Senator Ed
munds, in a letter addressed to the
New York World, reviews the Philip
pine question at length.
He, describes briefly the physical as
poets of the islands and the character
of their inhabitants. The population,
he shows, is Already denser than that
of the state of Michigan" and says
that of the total Of all this conglorn-
crate of races, the europeans and
Americans compose less than . per
cent after more than 200 years of Ell
ropean occupation"
He claims that the people Never
have been and never can be in need
of, or consumers of American produc-
tons to any appreciable extent"
Dewey's victory, (which a5tonished
the naval powers Of the world" gave
US control only of the bay and city
OF Manila and it's envirenments-nea
ly all beyond that was in possession of
an organized rebellion against Spain"
But the people of the islands who
We're carrying on the rebellion IN Or
der to be free and Independent, do not
desire to be annexed and that they in
tend to resist annexation"
Mr.. Edmunds says this appears 10
be lndisputable." He then proceeds to
snow what a war Of conquest would
mean, asks how we can be JUSTIFIED in
Forcing by the sword our excellent
idea of government, morality and re-
Hglon upon these people, as Mahommed
did, in his religious wars, and as Spain
did in her early operations on this con-
tinent."
AS to the status Of the Filipinos. Mr..
Edmunds argues that all of them who
are subjects of Spain will become citi-
Zens of the United States by the mere
act OF cession," and as such they will
have all the rights that belong to other
citizens in the territories"
The ex-senator says that Congress
therefore cannot lawfully prevent the
migration of any citizen residing in the
philippines to our states, any more than
it can lawfully prevent the migration
OF citizens of the states to the Philip
pines"
What the Philippines will do to us.
in cost, loss of life, the introduction Of
mllltarlsm, etc, Mr.. Edmunds consid
ers serious aspect of the question.
lie asserts the complete power of the
Senate over the treaty, to amend or
reject and suggests that il may so
amend it las to provide substantially
as the scheme has been as to Cuba, that
the people of those islands should be
left to govern themselves.
AS to the payment of 10000, 900 for
which Spain did not control" Mr.. Ed
munds says, THAT in view of the gray
ity of the other aspect of the subject.
it is not worthy of notice."

Civil Service and the Philippines Come up
for Discussion.

Washington, Jan. THE House of
Representatives was engaged all dav
on the legislative and executive appro-
priation bills, and completed it sub
stantially as reported, except the items
for the civil service commission, which
went over until Monday. There were
several side debates during the day.
One of them brought out Mr.. Grosven-
or of Ohio in a speech of an hour on
current political questions. The Phil
ippines also came in for attention, in
the discussion of an item of $4,000 for
a naval chart of the islands. The item
was ruled out on point of order by
Mr.. Dockery, the chairman, Mr.. Payne,
holding that the Philippines were still
foreign territory, and as such not the
proper subject Of the legislation pro-
posed.
