White, in compliance with Instructions

fairs, Won Buelow, this morning.
Minister Conger's- dispatch is regarded
here with skepucism. Doubts are ex-
pressed at the American and British en-
bassies as wei as at the imperial for

Secret Service Oficers at Manila
Capture Interesting Papers.
WASHINGTON, July A.-The secretary
of war has been furnished with copies
of some interesting documents, relating
to an alleged plot against the authorities
in Manila, which was discovered In the
district of San Miguel
The secret service department, under
Lieut. Charles r. Trowbridge, Eleventh
cavalry, early in June, stumbled upon
an tnsurgent recruiting office, situated
in an isolated locality, where the work
might be carried on without attracting
notice. One room of the house was fitted
up as an office and a large quantity Of
blank forms, bearing the head line Re
publique Filipina' were found In e.
cupboard which had been securely
fastened, Trowbridge and his men dis
covered large quantity OF papers, all
recent date, the latest being dated June
Z. They consisted of orders from AglIi-
naldo and letters of encouragement and
instructions from that leader and other
insurgent chiefs. A document which ex-
cited a great deal Of interest was one
which contained the details OF a plot ar
ranged evidently early in June to excite
an uprising in Manila. The plan com
tenplated an attack on the force in the
city and the seizure of arms and am
munition.

LONDON, July H.-Phe request of Sec
retary of State Hay to the powers to
make an immediate forward movement
upon Pekin is not likely TO meet with
any success in England. Lord Salisbury
Is just eager as the American secretary
OF state to adopt such 4 step, but he is
practically convinced that it will be i'm
possible until Sept. /, owing to local con-
ditions, and the allies lack of equipment
Beyond courteous reply that England Ia
willing TO cooperate In any movement
that the commanders on the spot NAV
deem advisable, nothing is likely to come
or the latest American effort to reach
the Chinese capital for all official advices
received here indicate that a dash toward
Pekin in the immediate future would be
military suicide.
The governments attitude may be de
scrlbed as philosophic determination to
grin and bear it, hoping for the best. vet
fearing the worst, until troops and ell

Chlna's present disintegration. Until thar
IS accomplished, every opinion worth re-
reatins is suspended, not only regarding
the future Of China, but also as to the
nature and severity of the retribution to
be enacted.
Meanwhile the English journals which
are bound to express opinions of some
sort and majority of the English pso-
pie who are unable to restrain their fee

risk is too great, and couple with this =
sentiment Of genuine appreciation Of
American efforts to alleviate the situation

Veteran OF China Consular service
on Minister COnger's Message.

NEW YORK, July PA dispatch
from London, says: Minister Conger's
message to the state department came
like 4 voice from the tomb :Ld startled
Europe
''One of the best informed men of the
veteran military service said that he ac-
cepted the text Of Mr.. CongeI's message
as full and satisfactory proof that the
ministers were alive.
when asked how he could explain the
protracted defense of the inclosure ple=
tected by a pallsade OF moderate height,
he asserted that the military guar6s had
probably seized commanding position
on the great wall, where they had held
tho nobs at bay. He also was confident
that the ministers and the women had
been transferred by a secret passage
under the wall into the imperial city
and Lad been hidden in the palace.
Another veteran OF the consular
service in Chira informed me that While
he could not account for the American
minister's reputed message he could net
comprehend how ii had been possible
for so weak and indefensib1e position
as the British embassy inclosure tc be
held for weeks against persistent as
saults of soldiery armed with artillery,
ana that he was reluctantly forced o be-
lieve that the ministers and all refugees
had perished.
