speech by lengthy discussion on inn
peralism, saying among other things:
This government ought TO make declaration

NATIVES UP IN ARMS.


Manila, Aug. IL, via Hong Kong,
Aug. l6.-Arrivals and mail advices
from Negroes and Cebp agree that the
insurrection is gaining strength re-
markably in both those islands, which
had hitherto been counted as the most
friendly in the archipelago, and which
received with the greatest cordial
ity Prof. Schurman, president of the
United States advisory commission
for the Philippines, at the time OF
his memorable tour. Outbreaks are
feared, particularly in Cebu, where
some of the leading men have gone
over to the insurrection. Many of
the wealthy inhabitants are preparing
to leave the island. The results of the
autonomist government in Negroes are
disappointing. Insurgent bands are
operating there, as they did in Cuba,
destroying much plantation property,
claims for which are being presented
to Gen Otis. Officers of the United
States gunboat Wheeling, which has
returned here from a cruise along the
northern coast of Luzon, report that
the insurgent forces occupy every vii

dent Mckinley left his hotel yesterday
morning and was driven down to the
auditorium on the grounds Of the Cath
olic summer school Of America, at Cliff.
haven, on Lake Chsmplain. The road
from the hotel TO the summer school
grounds was lined with people anxious
to get glimpse Of the president. As
the president entered the auditorium,
the spectators arose and sang song
composed for the occasion. Rev. M.
J. Lavelle, president Of the Catholic
summer school, introduced Presi-
dent Mckinley. As President McKin-
ley arose the audience applauded,
cheered, waved flags, handkerchiefs
and parasols until he made motion
for them to desist He had not in
tended to speak But the warmth Of
the greeting which was accorded him
evidently caused him to change his
mind. He said:

STRICKEN WITH APOPLEXY.


Omaha, Neb., Aug. Ex-senator Hay
ward was to have been one of the
speakers at a woodman picnic yesterday
at Brownville, Neb. He had just been
called upon and was on the point OF
rising when seized with ~ attack OF
apoplexy and felllto the platform un-
conscious. This was little after IL
o'clock. Two doctors present at once
came TO his assistance and at 1880 the
senator was showing signs OF re-
gaining consciousness. The doctors
at this hour are not will
ing to make any prediction
as to the outcome, but say the condi-
ton of their patient is critical. There
was large crowd in attendance at the
picnic and the sudden illness of the
senator caused almost panic, which
was only prevented by the prompt &C.
ton of some of the cooler headed men
among the wooodmen.

LABoRI is BETTER.


Renncs, Aug. le-At eight o'clock
last evening M. Labor was removed in
an ambulance to the residence Of Prof.
Bash, in a suburb Of Rennes. He stood
the journey well, although naturally
fatigued. The doctors are extremely
hopeful Of a speedy recovery, but con-
slider 1t would be unwise for him to re-
turn to court until there is absolutely
no danger Of relapse.

THEPOLICY FOR CUBA
Secretary Root to Confer With Gen.
Brooke on the Subject.
COL. KENYON TALKS ABOUT CUBA.


Washington, Aug. le.-Gen. Brooke
will be called to Washington to consult
with Secretary Root concerning affairs
in Cuba. The secretary desires to have
the benefit Of Gen. Brooke's knowledge
Of things in the island before he reaches
any definite conclusion as to future
policy for Cuba. No date has been
fixed for Gen. Brooke's visit, but II will
no doubt be determined by the devel-
opments Of the situation and before
the secretary begins his annual report
to the president.
Col. Kennon, Of the Thirty-fourth in.
fantry, recently appointed, but who
has been on duty at Havana as assist
ant adjutant general, had a long con-
ference with Secretary Root yesterday.
Col. Kennon SO impressed President
Mckinley with the information he
brought from Havana that the presi-
dent thought it advisable he should
talk with Secretary Root. COL Ken
non assured both the president and
Secretary Root that the course which
Gen. Brooke was pursuing met with
general approval, and was OF that care
full and conservative nature required
by the conditions in the island. 1t
was necessary to make radical changes,
but the policy Of the general has been
to make the old fit the new with as lit
tie friction as possible.
As to elections in Cuba, Col. Kennon
told the secretary that he thought the
time was still somewhat distant when
they could be held to advantage. by a
provision in the peace treaty, the Span
ish residents in the island were given
one year from the date of exchange OF
notifications in which to declare their
preference as to citizenship. Elections
could not be held, he said, until the
year had elapsed, in justice to this class.
The desirability Of leaving the matter
open was apparent, said Col. Kennon,
because large proportion Of the prop.
erty was owned by Spanish subjects, and
fit could be demonstrated to them that
their interests were in becoming Cuban
citizens 1t would be better for the
future OF the island.
Col. Kennon said that the people OF
Cuba were fast coming to the conclu'
sion that the interests Of all would be
best subserved by the people accepting
Cuban citizenship and by Cuban and
Spaniarls acting in harmony and,
while they do not mix well at present
the feeling Of irritation Is wearing
away. The matter Of suffrage is one
the colonel said, that must be carefully
considered. The disadvantages which
great proportion Of the people have
been under and which have prevented
them from being educated, will MAKE
it extremely hazardous 10 grant uni
versal suffrage when the time come
for holding an election.
Secretary Root was very much graft
fed with the information which Col
Kennon conveyed. The secretary ha
been receiving great mass OF docu
ments and data upon Cuba and Port

MULES FOR THE ARMY.
Already 600 Have Been Shipped to Ma
Mia and More VIII Follow-Win
Make Pack Train.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The problem
of transportation in the Philippines
has been under consideration by the
war department for some time. 1t is
expected that at the end OF the rainy
season it will be necessary to move the
troops some distance from the railroad
and at the present time the means OF
transportation are not sufficient for o
large army and extensive operations
The difficulty has been met by send
ing mules to Manila in large num-
bers. The quartermaster's depart
ment has already shipped about 6O(
of these animals and will send 0O(
more very soon, There are nearly s,OOt
more owned by the department, which
will be sent If needed. These animals
will not only be used for transporting
supplies in wagons but it is intended
to organize pack train for carrying
guns and equipments where teams can
not be utilized. The indications are
that the campaign after the rainy sea
son is to be conducted not only along
the railroad, where Gen. Otis has con
fined most Of his operations, but tha'
the interior Of Luzon will be pena
trated.

Chicago, Aug. l6.-Radical measures
