He Cables n Parcel of Lies About the
Situation mt Manila.
Barcelona, January 2S.--The Manila cor
respondent of the Diaro says he has dis
covered that the relations between Major
General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey are
most strained, owing to the profound riv-
airy which exists between the land and
sea forces OF the United States in the
islands.
Administrative morality of the American
squadron, says the correspondent, is below
par The gambling hella of Manila are
taxed $500 each and the police are high
waynen, who make arbitrary arrests and
then demand from $40 to $50 for the re-
lease of their prisoners
The correspondent further declares that
the Americans have monopolized all the
trade and swamped the markets with their
products. rendering European competition
impossible. AS an instance OF this he al
leges that California wines are sold In
Manila as genuine Bordeaux.

undue preponderanoe of crime Ia the South,
and many Of them have not hcsitated to
lecture us upon the evil Of our ways. But
II now appears that We have not deserved
this pre-eminence. and as turn about is

people of the South take some concerted

Herald has made some Investigations for

most wicked commonwealth in the United
States. and we are indebted TO 1t for the
statistics that Will be used further on.
From the Herald's researches VIC learn
that the most wicked State In the Union Is
Arizona; Nevada comes next and dear
old Massachusetts, is third. OF course a
certain amount of lawlessness is expected
from such sparsely settled States as Ari-
IONA and Nevada. but Massachusetts has
almost piqued herself as being more Gull
tured, more refined. more civilized, and
altogether better. purer and natter than
any other commonwealth, yet she is worse
than the very worst State OF the South,
according TO the criminal statistics. Ari-
zona's criminals are at the rate of 4193
TO 100000 inhabitants; Nevada's ratio Is
1922. and Massachusetts looms UP with
1855 In the South, Texas is the wicked

the Spanish government at Manila during
the insurrection preceding our war. They
issued proclamation later on. stating that
the property would be restored 30 the

Mia. But the city was ~blockaded by
Dewey, and when the Americans captured
the city they took possession OF this prop

statement of the facts and has referred the
claims to the war department for adiudi-
cation, not feeling authorized hiinself to
return the property.
