greater liherality of the vlvisectlon laws

United States In the preparations OF

GERMAN PRESS VIEWS,
Americans Are Making No Progress In the
Philippines In Spite Of ExertlOn.
THE CAMPAIGN LOOKS LIKE A FARCE
The United States Ia Apparently
Developing Into a Military
state.

Copyrighted. 1899. by Associated Press)
Berlin, July 22.--The Philippine cam
paign has been alluded to frequently this
week. The Kreuz zeitung says the Ameri-
cans are making no progress In spite OF
exertlon. The Tageblatt says the cam
paign looks for the present like a farce
because the Americans have not sufficient
troops in the Philippines to undertake any
serious opposition The Boersen Courier,
referring to efforts made in Washington to
raise troops, says: THE United States Is
apparently developing into military
state, after the example Of European coun-
tries
Newspapers here print letter from
German at Manila giving the following
account of things there: American Of
fcers hold brilliant receptions in private
horsel and in the Casino at Malate to
which they invite prominent Filipinos.
The last week in June there was great
festival at which Goo were present and
which ended with ball and fireworks.
Four-ffth of the guests were Filipinos.
All the ladies were invited to appear in
picturesque native costumes. But While
the American civil officers are leading
the Filipinos into fraternal greeting the
two armies are constantly lighting.
Everywhere the Filinnos have corps
pushed forward close upon the American
line and wherever a patrol leaves the
main body II finds itself in the presence
OF the enemy and threatened with being
surrounded. The Americans take revenge
by having ships FIRE on Filipinos wherever
a few show themselves in order TO show
how the Americans outpost of Manila is
guarded is shown by the capture of two
officials of the hospital ship Relief This
vessel took a short sail under the pro-
lection OF the cannon of the warshps off
Paranaque and was suddenly surrounded
by native boats and the officers captured.

AMERICAN NAVY A CRITERION
The British HIVE Decided to I'M
prove Their Gunncry.


prove Their Gunncry.
copyrighted. 1899, by Associated Press }
London, July 22.-The determination Of
the admiralty to improve the gunnery of
the navy has come none too soon in the
opinion OF the experts and there is general
satisfaction that the authorities have de-
cided to follow the example of the United
States navy and double the allowance of
ammunition for firing practice. The recent
unpleasantness between the United States
and Spain demonstrating the admirable
gunnery of the American navy, connected
with official returns just issued, show that
the British gunners failed TO hit the target
seventy out of every one hundred shots,
has awakened the admiralty to the neces-
sity of mending matters.
In his statement in the house of COM
mons yesterday George Goschen, first krd
OF the admiralty, practically corroborated
the recent statement of an admiralty off,
cial TO the correspondent of the Associated
Press that for its Size the American navy
is as fine a navy as ever existed and much
could be learned from It, and that mean-
while he hoped that naval intelligence
would be enhanced. The mobilization of
e huge fleet engaged in the present man
euvers is carrying out plan of operations
Of the meeting here. The enemy sends
fleet to intercept a convoy to Halifax and
Great Britain dispatches a feet to inter-
cept that of It's adversary. The enemy,
however, relies on numerous torpedo boats
Issuing between Irish ports for the pur-
pose of harassng the British while he cap
lures the convoy. Great Britain, on the
other hand, relies upon torpedo boat de-
stroyers to cope with the torpedo boats
and give free play TO the sea-going ships.
The real battle is thus torpedo boa
against torpedo boat destroyers. The re-
suit must be meet interesting and must
largely control the future policy with re-
gard to the building Of torpedo destroyers.
