German Consul at Manila Asks Hls Govern
ment to Eatercede-soms EEIfpfnos
20 Become Profestanfs.

Manila, jan 30.-Dr. Kruger, the
German consul general here, has ca
bled to the Berlin government asking
that the German ambassador at Wash
ingtOn be instructed to dipIomatieaIly
urge the passage Of the SpOoner bin.
BuencaminO and some Of the other
Filipino leaders In Manila have about
decided to become Protestants and are
considering the organization Of an
evangelical church In an interview
Bueneamino said that he had learned
that the pope had decided to restore
the friars to their former position
In the Philippines BuencaminO added
that the FilipinOs would not submit
to that, and the effect would be that
they would shortly leave the Cath
Ole church In great numbers.
There IS much speculation as to the
extent to which Buencamino VIII be
able to control religious sentiment in
his ward, IN which reside the poorest
class Of natives Little interest in the
matter is apparent in the Binondo
and neighbOring wards. DR.. BOurns,
the only American on the federal
party directorate, says the evangelical
movement was originated by political
leaders at Tondo and was disapproved
by the party directors. The Ameri-
can soldiers and civilians deprecate
the attempts to mix religious agita-
tons with the police reforms which
the federal party has fathered and
extended. While the religious belief
Of the FilipinOs is apparently sincere,
it is impossible to predict to what ex-
tent it may be swayed by their lead
ers, aided by Protestant missionaries.
Nothing has yet been accomplished IN
the line of wholesale conversions to

London, Jan. 3O.-The West Indian
troops stationed at the island of st.
Helena, where Gen. CrOnje and 8
large number of Beers are held pris-
oners, mutinied January 2, raided the
town and terrorized the inhabitants,
iniuring many of them, defied their
officers and were only finally subdued
when faced by the muzzles Of rifles.
The West Indians broke out Of bar
racks and raided the town with clubs
and razOrs tied to sticks. They ran
amucI1, cutting and beating women,
children and men indiscriminately and
attacked the Sailors Rest, tearing
out the doors and windows. All the
effo is Of the officers to suppress the
mutiny were futile. A strong naval
force was landed, the available troops
were collected and the streets paraded
and guarded all night long. At day
break troops were drawn up with
loaded rifles in front Of the place
