announced that the government Of Na-

on the Geriousness Of the situation as
revealed on Saturday at Birmingnam
by the speech Of Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary OF state for the colonies. dhe
Daily Telegraph calls the speech an
Informal ultlmatum."
The Standard says It marks the
most critical stage yet reached.
The Daily News observes: We can
not but suppose that such grave words
were well weighed beforehand"
The Times says: Such a delicate
situation cannot be protracted. We
believe that within the last few days
the finnl arrangements for the general
direction of the expedition which VIII
be necessary in the event OF a rupture
have been completed at the war office.
''It is scarcely necessary to point OUT

CANNOT BE
TRUSTED.
Two Municipal Governments G Have
Collapsed Through Treaeh.
cry of the Mayors.
BOTH ARE LODGED IN JAIL.
One was Using his Office as a
Recruiting Station for the
Philippine Army.

MANILA, August 22.-vIa Hong
Kong, August 27.-Recent events have
proved somewhat dlscouraging to ofil-
ciaIs who are trying to accompany war
with a policy OF Cancellation. Two new
municipal governments have collapsed
through the treachery of the mayors.
To-day the mayor Of San Pedro Macatl,
who was elected by the people, under
the direction Of Prof. Dean Worcester,
Of the United States advisory commits
sion for the Philippines, was brought to
Manila and lodged In jail. The United
States officers at San Pedro Macatl
found that he was using his office as
a recruiting station for the Philippine
army. Four disguised lnsurgent ofh-
GERS were helping him.
The mayor Of Ballnag was also ar
rested, and confined in the same prison.
The Americans caught him passing be-
tween the lines OF the two armies, with
discriminating documents which the au-
,boritIes secured. Another prominent
native mayor Is under surveillance.
When the result OF tho election at
linus, which General Lawton and Pro-
,essor worcester engineered, was an
pounced, the Americans inquired as to
the whereabouts Of the peoples choice,
and were informed that he was in
prison at Bllibad, where the authorities
had placed him on suspicion Of being
revolutlonlst He was released and
Installed as mayor.
Treachery ofNatives.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of former
residents acquainted with the native
character who insist that great ma
jority Of the natives sympathlze with
the insurrection, and elect officers
whom they know to be revolutlonlsts.
For two weeks Manila has been po-
Heed at night with unusual vigilance.
Apparently the authorities are expect
Ing trouble.
The trend Of aftairs tend to make
the policy OF lanieney unpopular among
the AMERICANS. when they abandon-
ed Norong they burned the whole town.
Colonel Smith, of the Twelfth intan-
try. who Is in command at Angeles, is
skeptieai regarding Filipino friendli-
ness. Instead OF allowing the natives
to return to the town, as heretofore
he ordered his troops to shoot all men
trying to pass the lines. and to turn
back the women and children.
He recently gave the amigos in the
town an opportunity to prove their pro-
fessed friendship, putting them to work
a, digging trenches and cleaning
streets. but this only dIspleased them.
The foremost citizen Of Angeles a
lawyer, who had welcomed the Ameri-
cans with a great show of cordiallty
was found communicating with the In
surgents. The Americans promptly
marched him on to San Fernando to
stand trial.
