DRIVE HARD BARGAINS
Chamberlain Raps Uncle Sam Over the
Knuckles in Parliament
LONDON, Aug. 2.—Speaking of the possi
bility of government aid to the British West
Indies, the secretary ot state for the colo
nies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, said ln the
house of commons that the government
policy was not settled, pending the result of
the reciprocity negotiations between the
United States and the West Indies.
Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain said he
found the United States officials very hard
bargainers, and it was uncertain whether
her majesty's government would be able
to accept any of the terms offered. Counter
vailing duties, he added, to protect the West
Indies against the bounty on sugar were
possible ln case an understanding with the
United States was not arrived at.
The Interest and honor of this country,
•aid Mr. Chamberlain, demand that the
.West Indian colonies be not destroyed.
In the house of commons Mr. George N.
Curzon, under secretary of state for foreign
affairs, replying to criticisms upon the gov
ernment's policy with regard to railways
ln China, said that the government could
not adopt the policy of spheres of influence
Because It was Inconsistent with the open
door policy.
The government's policy, he continued, H
to support any trustworthy syndicate ap
plying for a bona fide concession. The con
cessions England has already obtained are
Incomparably greater than those obtained
by all our rivals put together, while our
ascendancy ln the political councils of Pe
king has been completely maintained.

THE PHILIPPINES
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS WOR
RIED OVER THE OUTLOOK
AGUINALDO'S HEAD TURNED
He Will Probably Cauie Serious Trou
ble— Merritt's Force Entirely
Too Small to Cope With Him
associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.—A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The administration Is more sanguine than
ever that the peace negotiations will not
be so proeracted and tedious as was
feared a week ago. In regard' to the presi
dent's demand for Spain's immediate evac
uation of Cuba and Porto Rico, this feeling
among cabinet officers amounts to a con
viction. With regard' to the Philippines,
however, grave apprehension is manifested
that Spain may stubbornly resist the sug
gestion of a commission, taking: advantage
of the exceedingly embarrassing situation
which confronts Gen. Merritt through the
officiousness of the insurgent chief Aguin
aldo. According to all accounts this young
man's success has completely turned his
head and the Influence which he exerts over
several thousand semi-civilized or almost
barbarous warriors presents a serious com
plication, which is causing the authorities
here no end of worry and no little alarm.
The conditions which confront the campar
atlvely small forces und>er Gen. Merritt's
command between Cavite and 1 Manila art
shown by the official reports to be even
more dangerous than Intimated in press
dispatches, and the administration la grat
ified to see that most of the influential
newspapers of the country have come to
appreciate some of the responsibilities
which wlll'be Imposed l upon the government
'If the United States found it necessary to
take permanent possession of the archi
pelago.
The contingency was thoroughly consid
ered by the military and naval authorities
as early as the middle of May, when Gen.
Mernltt was selected to take an army corps
across the Pacific. This washefore Aguin
aldo assumed an Impudent attitude and at
a time when he was ghilng every assur
ance of subordination to Admiral Dewey.
About that time the military authorities
ln conference at Washington, both Gen.
Miles and Gen. Merritt being present,
carefully studied all conceivable phases of
the establishment of an American protec- i
torate over the Philippine group and
agreed that the minimum strength of thf
United States land forces that would 1 be
essential was as follows:
For garrison of Philippines, 150,000 men,
for garrison of Luzon Island alone, 30,000
men; for garrison of Manila alone, 25,000
men. These estimates were based upon
the assumption that for a considerable pe
riod at least after the expulsion of the
Spaniards all the native leaders would ex
hibit their gratitude to the Americans by
heartily supporting the new order of
things. From the best information that
could be obtained regarding the- habits and
characteristics of the natives General Mile s
and General Merritt, as well as the other
army officers who discussed the matter
were convinced that, whether the occupa
tion was to be for one year or five years, a
standing force equal to that given above
would be Indispensable. They agreed that
while such a force might have little to do
most of the time, as had been the case with
army garrisons several years ago In the far
west, the natives could no more be relied
upon to continue their peace pursuits for
any great length of time than the Ameri
can Indians In former days, and that with
smaller garrisons an uprising might lead
to a disaster which would horrify the
United States. As a consequence of these
deliberations and conclusions regarding
the whole Philippine group, the attention
of the authorities was then concentrated
upon the probability of the retention of the
Island of Luzon alone, and after debating
the matter and digesting a vast amount ot
information about that islnnd the officers
and officials were unanimously of the opin
ion that it would be indiscreet In the ex
treme to attempt to control the three mil
lion inhabitants of Luzon with less than
30,000 men.
Further study of the condition at Manila,
having due regard to the continuance there
of Admiral Dewey's squadron, resulted in
the authorities discovering nothing to war
rant any modification of the strength of
the proposed garrison of that city, which
was considered a most conservative esti
mate, and the fact that General Merrltt'B
command was fixed at 25,000 men is taken
to indicate that this government a month
ago did not seriously contemplate the occu
pation of more territory by the army than
that included ki the city of Manila, while
the navy, with Its ships and marines, main
tained possession of Cavite and Manila bay.
Even then the proposition Is subjected to
modification by the audacity of Agulnalelo
and little short of his death or capture Is
apt to clear up the complications.
It ts feared the crisis at Manila is already
at hand, and that General Augustl may at
any momf nt be compelled to surrender the
city to General Merrltt, ■who would be
promptly compelled to accept the serious
responsibility of protecting property in the
city from the Insurgents at whatever haz
ards, and the incongruous spectacle may
yet be presented of American and Spanish
troops (here co-operating against a com
mon enemy, supported by the combined
forces from the foreign fleets which have
gathered in the harbor.
Aguinaldo's Babble
LONDON, Aug. 2.—The correspondent of
the Times at Cavite under date of July
29 says:
The arrival of General Merrltt has given
a great stimulus to military activity,
chiefly in Camp Dewey, where General
Greene's brlgaele has bepn reinforced by
troops from Merritt's transports. The oc
cupation of the country south of Manila
has been completed for about a mile east
of the shore, but the line does not extend
to the river Paßlg. No territory Is held by
the Americans north of the town.
General Greene, who directs the active
field operations, has established his head
quarters near the seashore, under the guns
of the warships, about 4000 yards from the
Spanish position and from 800 to 2000 yards
distant from the insurgent lines, which
approach at one point within 150 yards
of the enemy.
Here occur dally attacks which are
usually begun by the Insurgents. Often
these are apparently severe, but they have
little result and cause few losses. The
Americans have not yet returned a single
shot, although they are constantly under
fire. The situation at the front Is most
extraordinary. Each force Is guarding its
own lines, but the Insurgents are little bet
ter than an armed rabble. They pass free
ly through the American camp and mingle
with the troops, but they render no assist
LOS ANGELES HERALD} WEDNESDAY "MORNING. AUGUST 3, 1895
ance and are, Incfeed, rather a hindrance
to the operations.
I am reluctant to believe the report that
a certain prominent American official as
sured Agulnaldo that the Americans came
simply to support the insurgents' cause
' and establish a republic, yet the attitude
of the insurgents, particularly since Agui
naldo's recent proclamation about his
plans for the future, seems ample confir
mation. The insurgent leaders are ag
gressively arrogant and make no move
towards recognizing American authority.
General Merrltt has not thus far met
Agulnaldo. The condition of the Spanish
prisoners confined by the insurgents at
Cavite Is most deplorable and has excited
the pity and sympathy of General Merrltt,
who begins to Issue rations today without
advising Agulnaldo. This is probably the
first step towards assuming proper au
thority over the Insurgents, who had hith
erto been treated as masters of the situa
tion. The attitude of the Insurgents Is the
only difficulty in the way of nn Immediate
settlement of the whole matter.
It Is an open secret, and I have informa
tion confirming the report from the best
possible sources—that Manila is willing to
surrender and may do so, provided as
surance is given that the Inhabitants will
bo protected from the Insurgents, who
openly declare their Intention of killing
every Spaniard.
Personally I am convinced that the only
means of controlling Aguinaldo's rabble
is to disarm the whole population. This
step alone cun mnke life and property se
cure. The American troops are active
and reconnolssances are made daily In the
country, which is being thoroughly studied
and carefully mapped.
The arrival of the third expedition Is ex
pected tomorrow. The force will then be
amply sufficient for any emergency. Short
ly after midnight last night the Americans
occupied the Insurgent lines for several
hundred yards, Including the position
nearest to the Spanish works. The Insur
gents yielded their positions at the request
of General Merrltt.
May Send More Troops
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Although the
War Department ofliclals will not admit
that they have any intention of reinforcing
further General Merritt's forces at Cavite,
there is reason to believe that some of the
troops in Eastern camps, who desire to see
active service, will soon find the opportu
nity unless the government shall change Its
present plans with respect to the Philip
pines. It Is believed to be necessary even If
>ur claim is limited to the terms stated ln
the conditions submitted to Spain, namely,
to the military occupation and government
of the territory on the shores of the Bay
of Manila, to furnish General Merrltt a
larger force than he has now- at'
mand. It Is supposed that 20,000 soldiers
scarcely can be expected to maintain United
States possessions and protect the Inhabi
tants over a territory of this extent, for it
must be remembered that the Bay of Ma
nila is twenty-five miles deep from the en
trance to Corregldor Island to the city of
Manila at its head. It will also be necessary
to possess and protect a zone extending
some distance back of the city in order to
make sufficient preservation of the water
works.
A Massacre Planned
CHICAGO, Aug. 2—A special from Wash
ington to the News says:
The War and Navy Departments have re
ceived through Cardinal Rampollo, Papal
Secretary of State, a cablegram from the
Pope expressing the keenest anxiety lor
the safety of the bishop and clergy at
Cavite. Information received at the Vati
can is to the effect that Agulnaldo and his
forces have planned the massacre of the
Catholics.
Immediately upon the receipt of the In
formation cablegrams werosent to General
Merrltt and Admiral Dewey, directing
that they take every means possible to pre
vent the insurgents from harming Cath
olics. The report of tha news has caused
much uneasiness here. If an attempt of
this kind Is made by Aguinrfldo It will sure*
ly lead to conflict between the force*under
him and those of the United States.
Negative Assistance
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—A cable to the
Journal from Cavite, July 30, via Hons
Kong, reports that the correspondent has
spent two days ln Interviewing the Insur
gent leaders. As a result the correspondent
says he discovered evidence of Jealousy of
the American Invasion, but no actual antl-
Amerlcan feeling. The dispatch adds:
"Agulnaldo Is respectful toward Admlra'
Dewey, General Merrltt and Consul Wild
man and will go any length to retain Con
sul Wlldman's good opinion, but he holds
back from giving energetic help to the
United States' farces. He will give only a
negative sort of assistance until he knows
the exact form which the American policy
will take. He Is disturbed by telegraphic
reports that the United States will aban
don the Islands to Spain.
"There are some indications of a clash
between General Merritt and Aguinaldo."

Garcia, and the impression Is thnt he de
feated the Spanish in this engagement or
at least held his own. The Cuban dispatch
says that two cannon had already been
taken from the enemy and ths Sps-nlsh cav
alry had been defeated.
General Garcia has moved towards Hol

D. "W. 1.. Aug. 2.—(Copyrighted, 1898, by tho
Associated Press.) An outpost of the
American army has now halted at Conmo,
about two-tblrds of the way to Albonlto on
the road to San Juan. Colonel Hulings'
advance this morning met a detail sent out
to reconnoitre, which reported that there
was no sign of the enemy. The latter, It
was said, had retreated to Albonlto, where
they would make a stand. A delegation of
the citizens of Coomo came out and Colonel
Hulings was tendered the freedom of the
city as an American soldier.
The citizens reported that the Spanish
had carried away all the money that was
not secreted. The stories of Spanish bar
barities have beeni greatly exaggerated.
There Is no authentic case of destruction
of private property or outrages upon wo
men. General Otega Is still at Albonlto,
with probably 1000 Spanish soldiers. Gen
eral Stone, with a small force, went this af
ternoon to Adjuntas, where Spanish out
rages were reported on Saturday. He will
occupy the town, proclaim American rule,
establish communication with the sur
rounding country and put on to Acebo on
the north coast.
General Garretson's brigade arrived this
afternoon from Yaucau, sixteen miles dis
tant. Its arrival was loudly cheered by
the citizens of Ponce.
The protested cruiser Columbia, which
went ashore on a reef while entering the
harbor of Ponce, has been floated 08 with
