The London National Review, in an
article discussing the probability of a
Franco German alliance against Eng
land, refers in the following fashion to
the United States: TO the continent
before 1893 the United States
appeared huge, drowsy mon
ster that spent its energy in
rare moments of wakciulness in nibbling
the lions tail. No one objected much
to this, but when the huge beast shook
itself and planted one paw upon the
Spanish West Indies and another upon
the Philippines it became an object OF
real terror to European statesmen, who
did not know whom it might next at
tack. The conditions we're all the more
rnnerving as England refused to walk
into the trap and turn her navy against
the United States. So the events OF
1898 only served to bring the two trans
marine powers together" 1t sounds
strangely to American ears to have the
bird of freedom be called a beast OF prey.
"A drowsy monster" "a huge beast
are queer names to be applied to the
republic of Washington and Lincoln.

President Mckinley has acknowl-
edged in telegram to Gen. Otis that
the volunteers in the Philippines were
entitled to their discharge after the
treaty OF peace with Spain was ratified.
He knows that the volunteers never ell
listed to fight the Filipinos, and that in
stead OF compelling them to remain he
should have sent regular troops to en-
force his policy OF benevolent assimi-
lation." He thinks he can placate the
boys by promising them special medal
OF honor for being forcibly kept on the
fighting line. The boys will be heard
from next year.

A Havana paper states that the ad-
venturer Gomez is planning another
revolution 1t says:
Having abandoned the hope of be-
coming the head of the Cuban republic,
and unwilling to emulate the example
of those patriots who, in similar con-
ditions, have thrust aside personal inter-
ests and retired to private life, Gomez is
conferring with discontented Domini-
cans, among whom is General Bautista,
who is now in Havana with view OF
organizing an expedition OF former
American and Cuban soldiers to attack
Sam Domingo, kill President Heureaux
and proclaim Gomez dictator"
If there is anything in it" for the
old freebooter, the story is not unlike
ly. He is San DOMINICAN. His home
and wife are there. If he could see a
chance to destroy the government there
at profit to himself, he'd be pretty
sure to engage in the enterprise.

ANTI-IMPERJA A LISTS.
Declaration of rim eli pies at the Chicago
Meeting.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-The meeting of
prominent anti-imperialists from all
over the country was very well attend
ed to-day One of the principal features
of the session to-day was the adoption
of resolutions which are a declaration
of principles The declaration de-
nounced the policy of Imperialism as
hostile to liberty, as unconstitutional
and as tending toward militarism. The
policy of the present national admins
tration is condemned and the immedi-
ate cessation of the Philippine war de-
manded. Continuing, it says:
I'VE propose to contribute to the de-
feat of any person or party that stands
for the forcible subjugation of any peo-
pie. We shall oppose for reelection all
who in the White house or in congress
betray American liberty in pursuit of
un-American ends. We shall hope that
both our great political parties will
support and defend the declaration of
independence in the closing campaign
of the century,
The declaration closes with an invi-
taton for the co-opera ton of "all men
and women who remain loyal to the
Declaration of Independence and the
constitution of the United States''

wants Sell Aguinaldo.

Manila, Oct. 1S-S:55 a. m.-General
Otis has received messages purporting
to come from the insurgent General Pho
del Pillar, offering to sell out his army
and to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands
of the Americans, Although General
Otis is not satisfied that this offer is
authentic, he does not consider it in
trinsically improbable. The policy of
General Otis is firmly set against buy
ing any surrenders.
Pho del Pillar according to this alleged
proposal, offers for the sum Of $4,000 to
refrain from attacking, Manila with his
army; for the sum of $250,000 he offers
to surrender his army after sham bat
tie both sides firing into the air; and
for the sum of 100000 he says he will
procure the overthrow of the insurrec-
tlon and the capture of Aeuinaldo Pa
terna and the other leaders.

Hartford, Oct. 1S.-T e University of
Wisconsin football team held its first
practice since reaching the east on
Trinity field this afternoon. The men
We're all in good condition excepting
Quarterback Wilmarth, who was suf-
fering from injuries received in the
Northwestern game last Saturday. Af-
ter preliminary practice for limboring
up the men, Coach King lined up his
squad in two elevens for a short prac-
tce. The practice was sharp and
quick the scrub team showing up to
excellent advantage. The varsity made
two touchdowns and O'Day dropped
goal from the thirty-five yard line dur
ing the thirty minutes play. 1t is not
certain whether or not Wilmarth will
be able to play on Saturday in the
game with Yale. In case he is not, his
place will probably be filled by Pratt,
who occupied the position in to-day's
practice. One feature of the play to-
day was the speed shown by the ends
in getting down under punts.

VAR OFFICE EXPECTED FIGHT.
Official Statement Issued on News from
General White

London, Oct. 1S.-The war office has
issued the following statement: "News
has been received from General Sir
George Stewart White, the general
commanding In Natal, that the antici-
pated movement of Boer forces across
the Drakensberg, already reported
from several quarters, was likely to be
continued on October II, in which case
some of them might be expected to ar
rive at Boaan bank that night, and
probably to come into contact with our
cavalry between Ladysmith and the
passes of the Drakensberg.
"On the north, the Boer forces from
Ingagane are advancing, accompanied
by few batteries of artillery. On
the Buffalo River the Beers from Vry-
held are moving towards Wants and
Rorkes drifts Our cavalry remain in
observation, and report movements in
the Orange Free State. The Basutos
are said to manifest an attitude hostile
to the Beers, and they may neutralize
a certain number of the Boer forces"

Westerly, r. l., Oct. 1S.-A mail pouch
en- route from New York to Westerly

Causes a Sensation

Manila, Oct. IS, 10:30 p. m.-The con-
suls in Manila have received from Tar
| lac, where it is believed that Aguinal-
| do remains, a book containing the cor
American commanders and consuls in
which, as he contended in his recent
appeal for recognition, the Filipincs
find the basis for their assertion that
the American government recognized
their sovereignty and promised them
independence. The book is addressed
to the members of the United States
congress and contains a long argument
by Senior Buencamino of the so-called
cabinet of Aguinaldo, and alleged let
ters written by Rounseville Wildman,
United States consul at Hong Kong, to
year. 1t has made a sensation among
Spaniards here.
Replying to Aguinaldo's request that
the Americans would arrange for the
shipment of the Spanish prisoners to
Hong Kong, relieving the Filipinos Of
the expense of maintaining them, Mr..
Wildman wrote: Never mind feeding
them. A meal a day of rice and water
will be a good diet They have been
living too high during the last few
years. AS the Spaniards want more
bloodshed in the Philippines, / trust
you will let them have a taste Of real
war. Do not be so tender with them.
Handle them as they would treat you"
Mr.. Wildman's letters deal largely
with the shipment of arms. The whole
correspondence however, contains no
promises of independence. Senor Buen-
camino lays stress upon letters from
Admiral Dewey and General Anderson,
requesting passes for American officers
and others to visit Filipino territory,
and upon d letter from General Ander-
son asking "You and your people to
cooperate with us in military opera
tions against the Spaniards. A body |
of twenty-five F'ilipinos attacked a rail-
road patrol of eight men, members of
the Seventeenth regiment at Guiguinto, |
north of Bulacan, wounding two. The
Americans reinforced the patrol anG
drove off the enemy, capturing guam
tity of ammunition.

Youngstown, O., Oct 1S.--President
McKinley's special train arrived here at
o'clock this evening and the chief en-
ecutive delivered the last speech of his
tour The train was backed into a side
track and the president and his cabinet
went on foot to platform near by.
Twenty thousand persons We're packed
into the narrow space surrounding the
speakers stand, and they enthusiastic
cally cheered every point in the speech.
President Mckinley said in part:
1--WE have now before us some grave
problems in neutrality-suspicious. that
demand not only for the president, but
for all the people, steady and sober
judgment; problems not to be settled by
one party or another, but by all the
people: problems wider than party or
section; problems that are national and
which the people must settle and settle
for right and justice, following the plain
path of duty We are in the Philip
pines. Our flag is there. Our boys in
blue are there. They are not there for
They are not there for do

Providence of God, who moves mysteri-
ously, that great archipelago had besn
placed in the hands of the American
people. There was no cloud in Dewey's
victory, and there will be no doubt or
hesitation in preserving it.
The president to-day also addressed
large crowds at Warren and Miles, Ohio.

KAISER WANTS 4 BIG FL EET.
Bitter Need of Germnny-Must Watch
Development of Foreign states.

| Hamburg Oct. 1S.--The new German
| warship was launched here to-day in
the presence of Emperor William. She
was christened "Kaiser Karl der Gros-
se' by DR. Won Monckeberg, burgomas-
ter of Hamburg. At the banquet given
in the town hall after the launching
Emperor William said. Germany Is in
bitter need of strong fleet. This
mighty emporium of Hamburg recog
nizes what the German people can do
when united and, on the other hand,
how necessary to our interests abroad
Is the Strengthening of our naval fore
es. If that class of reinforcement had
not been refused me during the first
eight years of my reign refused despite
my urgent requests and admonitions,
refused with scorn and even mockery,
how different matters would have been
now. We should be able to push our
thriving trade and commerce over sea.
"Yet the feeling for those things is
only gaining ground in the German fa-
therland, which, unfortunately has
spent it's strength only too much in
fruitless faction strife Germans are
only beginning slowly to understand,
questions important to the whole
world The face of the world has chang
ed greatly during the last few years.
What formerly required centuries is
now accomplished in a few months
The task of Kaiser and government has
consequently grown beyond measure;
solution will only be possible when
the German people renounce party di-
visions. Standing in serried ranks
behind the kaiser, proud of their great
fatherland and conscious of their real
worth, the Germans must watch the
development of foreign states They |
must make sacrifices for their position |
as world power, and, abandoning
party spirit, they must stand united be- |
yond their princes and emperor"

ties of British troops, but the Natal
men were too wary to be caught and
retired firing. The enemy as usual hid
themselves behind hills and in gullies,
but We're able to advance. They used
cannon against the British riflemen,
who, nevertheless, maintained stout
resistance. The firing was heavy. The
country about Acton Homes being
more open, the British mounted volun-
teers there are retiring upon DeWdrop.
Two thousand Beers were engaged at
Acton Homes and rather fewer at
Bester's Station. 1t is reported that
the army there is hemmed in and suf-
fering severely.
The Daily Telegraph, commenting
upon the foregoing dispatch, says it is
difficult to understand the references
to Glencoe and Bester's Station, except
upon the theory that Commandant
General Joubert is dividing his forces.
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Times under date of Tuesday, says:
"All is we'll at Kimberley, though COM
munication is almost entirely cut.
There is no means of learning anything
that happens north of the Orange river
unless perhaps by way Of Rhodesa and
Beira''
The calling out of the militia and the
militia reserves is pointed out here as
showing the determination of Great
Britain to make every possible effort
to send an overwhelming force to
South Africa and also to show to Eu-
rope that England is prepared for all
emergencies. The entire force numbers

Boston, Oct. 1S.-The board OF trus-

ton continued in session at Youngs'
hotel to-day. Among the important
matters considered was the progress
and aid of the church in Washington
D. c., which is esteemed as a mecca for
Universalist visitors at the capitol and
which came before the trustees for adj
vice and assistance with reference to a
new pastor, as the pulpit is vacant. The
trustees also considered important mat
ters with reference to the further sup
port and development of the Japan mis-
sion, resolving to take no backward
steps in that work. Important recon-
mendations were also made in relation
to the raising of the Twentieth Cen
tury fund Of 100000.
