( Correspondence of the Associated Press. )
MANILA , Aug 30 , % la San Francisco , Sept.
22. The oply Impediment In the way of
peace Is the work of restor
ing absolute confidence In Agulnaldo ,
who has Informed Governor G"dcral Mer
rltt that In the event of the United States
holding the Philippines pumanently or at
least formally declaring a protectorate over
it , If is his declaration that his followers
would lay down their arms , but until that
line It would not bo safe for him to do so.
Whllo nil this is very plausible , It Is the
: onsensus of opinion among the Kngftsh-
ipeaklng merchants and icsldents here that |
lie rebels , and especially Agulnaldo , arc only
holding out In order to bo bought. The fact
.hat one of Agulnaldo's staff Is authority for
ho statement that an arrangement has li-.i.n
mndo with the Americans , \ > y the terms of
which Agulnaldo Is to bo > ade governor of
a province nnd each of his bfllcers to be
; lvcn minor positions provided his troops lay
own their aims would tend to.s'iow that this
opinion has some basis , particularly whe.n
General Merrltt , upon learning of.this .
scheme , said emphatically that "no agree
ment whatever has been made with Agul-
lalilo upon any subject. ' '
The departure ot.General Merrltt and his
staff for Paris toaay effectually disposes of
further negotiations with < the Insurrection-
sis , for the present. Whatever Inducements
might have been held out to them secretly
'or It is hardly to be supposed that so deli
cate a duty would be derogated by General
Merrltt to his. deputy It , Is significant' that
coincident wllh- the departure ot Major Ggii-
eral Merrltt for Parla , the rebels shpulfl
have spread the report that ) three of Agul-
ualdo's trusted lieutenants have already left
for Washington , with the avowed Intention
ot reaching the American capital ahead of
Brigadier General Green , who Is scheduled
to leave today on board the China.
The ecclesiastical party has apparently
concluded to accept the Inevitable with the
best grace possible under thu circumstances.
At any ratvj neither the archbishop nor any
of his satellites has mndo the sllglitest at'
tempt-to Interfere with the policy aUopted
by the new administration , BO far and un
less all signs fall no such attempt will bo
made.
MnkliiR Money O1Y Aqicr.IcntiM.
From an American point of view the sit
uation today Is simply one of expectancy ,
the authorities awaiting Instructions from
Washington and their subordinates hoping
for relief from their onerous duties and a
speedy return1 to their hohies. The Span-
lards , firm In the belief that Manila was
surrendered after the peace negotiations-had
been commenced , swagger about -tho-clty
with an air ot confidence that It will soon be
restored to them. The Filipinos , with char
acteristic nonchalance , are making hay
while the sun shines , relieving their Ameri
can friends of their hard earned cash by
every conceivable means and wondering how
much longer their good fortune will con
tinue. What the Insurgents under Agul
naldo think ot the situation no one seems
to know or care. , e ,
The herculean task of _ restoring order
from the chaos , due to Iho shlftles'sneEs'ot
the Spaniards , is slo\vly but surely being
accomplished by the American officers de
tailed to undertake It. The brunt ot the
dirty work Is borne 'by Brigadier General
McArthur , whoso duties as military com
mander and provost marshal "general of.
Manila , are as multitudinous and as tar
reaching as those of the odious
the "Mikado "
Despite the lack of any
edge as trt the future pf the Phllllfp'Ules ,
business is decidedly brisk in Manila at
present and there is every Indication of
the approach of a boom , The fact , that
everything has been practically tied up for
the last three months necessarily occasions
on Immense amount of work now that the
embargo has been removed , but apart from
thU the'advent of the American1 administra
tion of affairs and the prospect of it being
prolonged Indefinitely have'lent an Impetus
to trade which nothing else could haye given
Iti '
Mnulla'H Port to Commerce.
Onq of the first official acts of the now
administration was to clear the channel
at the mouth of the river Pnslg of the ob
structions placed there by the Spaniards ,
thereby reopening the port of Manila for
commerce. Immediately after this had been
done the fleet of Inter-Island steamers ,
which , by nn arrangement with Admiral
Dewey , had been anchored out In the har
bor and used as refuge ships by , varlpu's
consulates returned to their berths at the
river quays and after discharging their pas
sengers proceeded to rcflt for their'former
occupations pending the decision of the
prize court aa to their ultimate fate. This
has caused an enormous amount of traffic
along the water front and both custom
house nnd captain of the port office have
been deluged with business for the past
ten days. In accordance with the require
ments of International law no change has
aa yet been made In the customs regula
tions , hence the tariff In force cforo'the war
Is still maintained and the coffers' ot the
treasury are being replenished very materi
ally. It was naturally expected that under
the reclmo the port duties yrould be con
siderably reduced and many merchants laid
their plans accordingly , but In spite of the
exorbitant duties the demand so far ex
ceeds the supply that the merchants are
only too glad to get their goods through
as fast as they arrive.
Several Americans have already an
nounced their Intention of embarking In
business hero and an American bilingual
newspaper Is among the possibilities , of
the near future.
The reopening of the cable toi Hong
Kong and resumption of traffic along the
Inter-Island telegraph lines has placed the
merchants once more In direct communica
tion with their agents , but up to the present
little news has been received , the small
force employed In the local office having
> been Inadequate to handle the volume ot
outgoing messages.
The four Insurgent soldiers Implanted Jn
the Cavlte shooting were court-martialed
by an Insurgent board of officers In , Cavlte.
Three 'were acquitted on the ground ot self-
defense and one was found guilty and will
be sentenced to bo shot upon the proceed
ings of the court being approved byiiiil -
naldo. An Invitation was extended to Gen
eral Anderson and the other officers sta
tioned at Cavlte to be present at the trial
of the prisoners. General Anderson wll (
ask that the man be not shot , aa he places
the blame upon ono of'the Utah soldiers'

WASHINGTON. Sept. 22. Secretary Howell -
ell ot the Treasury department has modi-
fled In an Important particular the customs
regulations now In force In the Philippine
Islands. Heretofore an export has been
levied on all goods shipped from the Islands
to foreign ports and since the United States

MADRID , Sept. 22. General August ! , the
former captain general ot the Philippine
Islands , who has Just arrived at Victoria ,
Spain , from Manila , In an Interview Is
quoted na discussing the 1'hlllpplno ques
tion In an entertaining manner. He Is al
leged to have said :
"Before I left Simfn 3. knew the situa
tion In the PhlllpolnoiiUlands was grave.
Scnor Moret remarked to mo that It war
\\.Hli thp United States broke out there
would ho a terrible state of things. "
Continuing , Augustl described Admiral
Montcjo's licet as "somo old wooden'ships"
and said "they came to Manila practically
pursued by Dewey. "
Ho .raid : "Our batteries flrcd at the
Americans , but our guns were mounted on
false nlates and after the first shots they
became useless. At daybreak wo were In
the Dower of the Americans and an hour
afterwards the Spanish fleet had ceased
to exist.
"Dowey summoned mo to surrcndar. 1 ]
refused and he threatened to rnzo the ( own.
I rcullcd : 'Raze It , but so long as I live
the Spanish Hag will float on the ruins ot
Manila. '
"Then began the terrible time of the
siege and tbo angush | of the blockade.
Famine started us' In , thp face. In the
meantime hostilities were conducted
iroughout the provinces , but , save In leo-
ated cases , humanely. Dewey repeated his
Jir.mons to surrender and I again icfustd.
ewey then bombarded the town and Ma-
lla surrendered , ,
"But , 'considering my presence no longer
ceessary , I asked the government for per-
ilsslon to go home , as my position had
"
ecomo by "no means easy. I think I have
ono my duty as ti-soldicr and n Spaniard. "
The ministerial. , newspapers protest
gainst , the supposition ( hat the United
tntcs will keep the , Philippine Islands.
They maintain that Spain's right to these
stands Is IncpntcsfaWo and that she Is re-
'
olved to defend her'rights with the great-
st energy. The government papers also
ontend that the terms of the peace pio-
ocol confirm Spain's right to the Island of
iuzon and the rest of the Islands and they
eclaro that If the United Status bases Its
lalms on humanity , Spain will prove that
here Is no higher civilization In any of
ho Asiatic colonies than In the Spanish
olonles of Asia.

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept. 22. The steamer
China from Hong Kong and Nagasaki Is

clear bill of health and was not put In

Among the passengers of the China were
Privates Jenkins , Thomas , Brown and N } lea

Eighteenth infantry , ; .Russell and Whlte-

where he has been fo'r sonic l\me. \ He says
that he ls not familiar with conditions ex
isting at Manila , except what he has been
'
told by A'gulnaldo. He declines ip make
public what Agulnaldo wants or expects ,
but states that the Insurgents generally
look Tor ultimata independence. After 9
shorf'slay 'at Washington .the two men will
proceed to Paris to "attend tfhe meeting of
the ijeace' commission. ' ' ' ' '
' Other passengers oh "tho ship were Briga
dier 'GenernrGreene and staff , Adjutant
General Babcock , Captain Rethcrs , assist

General Greene says that ! he was not re
called for any particular reason that he
knows of. Ho received hisorders to re
turn to San Francisco "tho same day that
General Merrltt received orders to proceed
to Paris by way of Sucz. .With refqrencu
to the report that hQ was recalled owing to
his action in conducting an Illegal court-
martial at sea , General Greene says that
Major General E. S. Otis gave htm the
cases to try and showed htm a paragraph
in the articles of war giving him the
authority totry them. The cases were tried
according to General Otis' orders and the
findings of the court were later reversed by
the Washington authorities. General Greene
says there is no truth In the story that he
had troub ) with General Merrltt On the
contrary , ho says that they are Che best-
of friends , ,
Speaking of the situation at Manila , Gen
eral Greene expressed the opinion that there
would not be any trouble with Agulnaldo ,
but ho declined to go Into details. The
healt'h conditions at Manila are improving
but U Is extremely difficult to prevenl
diseases from spreading among the Ameri
can soldiers , as the Spaniards have occuplec
the buildings and have left the germs o
disease behind them.

t I'ONVH ni the Defender
at the Arm ) .
PAIUS , Sept. 22. The situation here Is
generally admitted to be ern\o by both press
and people. The conflict between the civil
and military authorities Is becoming acute.
The sudden nnd unexpected action of Gen
eral Zurllndcn , the military governor of
Paris , Includlng-Coloncl Plcmiart In the
charge of forgery and using forged docu
ments , assumes a grave aspect on account
ot the circumstances attending this Inter
vention ot the military authorities In a civil
court. At the present moment , when the
political atmosphere Is surcharged with
dangotous clcctrlritv over the Dreyfus af
fair , the general who has just quitted the
cabinet , In defiance ot civil authority , takes ,
without consulting his successor or premier ,
an Important step. In ordinary clrcum-
stnnccfi the military governor Is rmpowctcd
to net Independent , but now that the Drey-
fus question has become a great national
matter every proceeding In the affair has
.ate Importance. General Zurltndcn's Ignor-
ng this obvious fact Is very significant. He
c3 forward as the defender ot the army ,
le prosecutor ot Its supposed calumniators
nd the resolute opponent ot a revision of
ho case.
From this to an appeal to the public In
ic line of the establishment of a dictator-
hip there Is no wide step.
The Solell says that owing to jcstcrday's
\ents , the cabinet , at an Informal confcr-
nce , discussed General Zurllnden's action.
nd the Frondq even asserts that the pre
mier , M. Brlsson , disavows the measures
aken against Picquart , which ho says nero
instituted without the knowledge ot the
abnet. | . ,
The Radical makes a bitter attack on the ,
encral staff , which It charges with aiming
t the moral assassination of Picquart
hrough a secret military trial.
Henri Itochefort , In his paper , the In-
ranslgeant , declares that Plcqunrt was
rlbed by1 a syndicate or by Germany to save
) reyfus.
Jauics , the socialist deputy , In the Petite
Uepubllque , maintains that the general staff
f the French army cannot now escape the
ull light of a revision of the Dreyfus case.
CHINESE EMPEROR ABDICATES
iiiiicrlnl Udlct iHNiieil IMneliiK All
1'o-ncr in HiiiiilH of
PEKIN , Sept. 22. An Imperial edict Just
ssued , definitely announces that the cm-
eror of China has resigned his power to
ho empress ( dowager empress ) , who has
rdered the ministers to dellxer to her In
he future their ofllclaf report's.
It Is difficult to obtain reliable Information
-theipalace In regard to the proceeding ,
ut the rece'nt reformatory edlcta probably
: aused the change. While the emperor was
ubservlent and a mere figurehead , the dow
ager empress permitted him to remain In

"The dowager empress Is greatly incensed
over Russia's passivity over LI. Hung
Chang's degradation and Sir Claude Mac-
Donald's attitude since LI Hung Chang's
fall. She has granted to M. Pavleff , the
