BERLIN, July 22.-The Philippine
campaign has been alluded to frequent
ly this week. The kreuZ Zeitung says
the Americans are making no progress
in spite of exertion. the Tagepiatt
says the campaign looks for the present
like farce, because the Americans have
not sufficient troops in the Philippines
to undertake any serious operations.
The 'Boersen Courier referring 10 efforts
made in Washington to raise new
troops, says:
The United States is apparently de-
veloping into a military state after the
example OF European countries"
Newspapers here print letter from
German at Manila giving the follow
ing account of things there:
American officers hold brilliant recep-
tons in private houses and in the Casino
at Malate, to which they invite prominent
Filipinos. The last week in June there
was a great festival at which six hundred
| were present and which ended with ball
were Filpinos. All the ladies were invited
to appear in picturesque native costumes
But while the American civil Officials are
leading the Filipinos into fraternizing and
feasting, the two armies are constantly
fighting. Everywhere the Fiiipinos have
strong corps pushed close upon the Amer
lean lines and wherever patrol leaves
| the main body it finds itself in the pres
st wit
being surrounded. The Americans eaKe re-
venge by having ships fire upon Fflipinos
wherever a few show themselves in order
to battle. How helpless are the Americans
| outside of Manila is shown by the capture
| of two officers of the hospital ship Relief.
| This vessel took a short sail under the pro-
| lection of the cannon of the warships off
Paranaque and was suddenly surrounded
! by native boats and the officers captured.
| The Monadnock got up steam rapidly, but
| although she opened fire and raked the
| shore and forest the rescue of the Relief S
| officers was not accomplished. The FIJI
| ipinos led the prisoners quietly away.
| When marines landed they were received
so warmly that they were forced to return
| hastily to the ship"
| LONDON, July 22.-Mr. Hasford. British
| the foreign office, says:
Admitting that for the moment all COM
mercial enterprises in the Philippine ISL
| ands is paralyzed, there is abundant evil
| dence that when peace has been declared
! and settled form of government well es-
! tablished, the future prosperity of the
| Philippines will greatly exceed that Of the
| past. Already a regular line OF steamers
| has arranged to call from New South
| Wales. The prospects of the frozen meat
| trade with Queensland is most satisfactory
| and the advantages of the vicinity OF Port
| Darwin are sure to benefit North Austral-
| ia. The health of Europeans depends
| principally upon themselves. The town of
| Manila labors under the disadvantage of
| being only ten feet above sea level and
| as the natives regard all sanitary precau-
| tons as useless, there is heavy work ahead
! in regard TO drainage and other sanitary
| measures"

ance was received shortly after noon
to-day, while Secretary Long was
with the President. Secretary Alger
had just left. The tender of the war
portfolio was made to Mr.. Root last

The announcement of Mr.. Root
appointment was made at the war ue-
nartment. 1t was stated that Senator
Platt came to Washington last even
ing armed with authority from MI

MANS of Secretary Alger and he Will re-
main on duty here until the END OF the
present month, being assisted by MI
Meikleiohn, who is expected 10 reacn
Washington this afternoon.
Secretary Alger had confidently eA-
pected the appointment of Mr.. hooe'
