THIRD VIA THE SUEZ SNELLING REGULARS TO BE SENT TO MANILA BY THE AT LANTIC FOUR REGIMENTS INCLUDED Secretary Alger Decides to Have tlie Minnesota Men Join tlie Fourth, Twelfth nnd Seventeenth in Their Journey to the Orient Orders to* the Seventeenth Modified Va cancies ln the Third. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.— Secretary Alger has decided to send four regi ments of infantry to the Philippines. The _ Fourth, Twelfth and Sixteenth have been designated and in addition the Third infantry, now at Fort Snell ing, Minn., will go by the same route — namely across the Atlantic. The tele graph orders of the sth inst., directing that six companies of the Seventeenth infantry accompany the Fourth infan try, to sail Jan. 15, has been modified so as to read: "One battalion of four companies of the Seventeenth, the remaining com panies to sail later." The news that the trip would be made via the Suez reached the fort last night, and, while some of the men would like to visit San Francisco, the idea of a trip through the Mediterra nean seems to strike most of them as being about right. Every bit of news ls eagerly picked up at the fort, and, while it was nearly 9 o'clock when the news was made known, it spread rap- Idly, and many of the soldiers talked each other to sleep last night, trying to decide how far from New Tork the Suez canal was. Capt. Gerlach will not accompany the Third regiment to Manila. Capt. Gerlach is the oldest captain in the regiment and his health is poor. He was left behind when the regiment went to Cuba, much against his own desire, but he sent his son with the regiment, and he served through the war. At his own request the captain has been detached from the regiment and detailed for service at Fort Snell ing. There are several vacant captaincies in the Third, and it is believed they will be filled before the regiment goes to the Philippines. They will be Tilled by promotion of flrst lieutenants and it will be necessary to hold an exami nation of officers in line for promotion. No date has been set for such examina tions. The officers at the axmy building and at the fort are waiting for directions regarding the relief of Company- G, which is at Walker. A company of tha Seventh infantry will be sent to EMPEROR BIILY MACK I. Walker and two companies of the same regiment to the fojt. The first com pany sent here wi^l go to Walker, so that Company G mi& return to Snelling and prepare to accompany the regi ment to Manila. 7 _ NOT DESIRABLE. Ex-Senator _<hnr,ndi* Writes of the Philippine la.lui.d-. NEW YORK, Jaii 7.— Ex-Senator F. Edmunds, in. a letter reviews the Philippine question 'at length. He de scribes briefly the physical aspects of the islands and the character of their inhabitants. The population, he shows, is "already denser than that of the state of Michigan," and he says that "of the toital of ali this conglomerate of races the Europeans and Americans compose less than. 2 per cent, after more than 200 yeard of European occu pation." He declares "the people never have been, and never can be ln need of, or consumers of American products to any extent." BEELER ESCAPED. Man Suspected of Having Robbed Express Company Reaches Mexico. LAREDO, Tex., Jan. 7.— The customs in spectors who went Sown the Rio Grande river in search of Beeler, the missing driver employe, by the Wells-Fargo company ln San Antonio, who la thought to have made away with $60,000 while on his way to the Southern Pacific company's office, have re turned, and say that Beeler orossed and went into Mexico on Sunday. The state rangers are in possession of the horse Beeler rode, but the latter secured fresh hlo-ree. and es caped. ROBBER WEAKENED. Attempted to Hold Up a Mexican Central Train. EL PASO, Tex., Jab. 7.— Four unknown Americans attempted io hold up the Mexican Central passenger traifn from the .South at a point about six miles south of Ciudad, Juarez, Mexico, tonight at 8 o'clock. While the rob bers were attempting to cut off the baggage car from the train the passengers and the conductor rushed forward to see what caused the trouble, and th« -robbers ran for their horses and. decamped. j A detachment of gen darmerie is in pursuit. Not a shot was fired. POSTAL RECIPROCITY. Reduction in Money Order Rates Be tween America, and Canada. WASHINGTON, Jen; .7.— Tbe postal depart ment cf tbis country amd Canada today reach ed an agreement providing for a considerable reduction on interiiattanal money orders. This action is the result of a plan of Assis tant Postmaster General Heath to change the fee system of the drawling and paying ct international money ord«_ between the United States and Canada so as to reduce tho price of such orders to the same rates as obtains in dorasstic money orders in each case.

TWENTY PAGES. CRISIS IS ON IN SPAIN SE.\OR SILVELA FORMALLY AN NOUNCE* AN AGREEMENT "WITH GEN. POLAVIBUA SAGASTA ABOUT TO RETIRE Pcnor Silvela Expresses the Opinion TliiU Premier Sagasta No Longer Desire to Serve Spain ln That Capacity Queen Regent Will Be Officially Notified olf the Impend ing Crisis at an Early Date. MADRID, Jan. 7.— At the meeting this evening of the Conservative club Senor Silvela formally confirmed the previously reported agreement be tween himself and Gen. Polavieja, and made an important announcement of the Conservative policy. Senor Silvela said he recognized Senor Sagasta's services to the throne, but censured the premier's policy in Cuba, especial ly his conduct with regard to the war between Spain and the United States. He declared that the present cortes was morally dissolved, and said he believed that the fall of Sagasta was imminent. The financial question, Senor Silvela said, he regarded as most Important. He favored a tax on all personal prop erty, the increasing of indirect taxa tion, and the effecting of large eco nomics in pensions; supported the maintenance of the concordat with the Vatican, and advocated the reor ganization of Justice, freeing it from the influence of politics. He favored, also, electoral reforms and the estab lishment of a ministry of public works and commerce having control of posts and telegraphs, and maintained the necessity for giving a powerful im pulse to the industrial resources of 1 the country. Regarding foreign politics, Senor Sil vela held that Spain's geographical position precluded her becoming a ter ritory governed by foreigners, adding: "We must, therefore, reorganize the army and navy, so as to be in a po sition to defend the country in case of necessity." In conclusion, Senor Silvela declared that he did not believe Senor Sagasta was desirous of retaining office. The cabinet will meet tomorrow, and on Monday Premier Sagasta will go to the palace to notify the queen re gent of the ministerial crisis. DUEL STORY DENIED. Friends of M. Deroulede Says lie Did Not Fight. PARIS, Jan. 7.— L,a Liberte says to day that the friends of M. Paul Deroulede, i!i. founder of the Patriotic league, and member of the chamber of deputies, denied that he was wounded in the abdomen in a duel fought two weeks ago with Count de Castellane, member of the chamber of deputies, representing the Castellane district of the Lower Alps. The dispute which caused the duel was said to have grown out of a quarrel regarding an actress. The friends of M. Deroulede in denying the story say he is suffer ing from bronchitis. MR. DINGLEY'S CONDITION. Though Physicians Have Hope, He Is a Very Sick Man. WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. — At mid night the condition of Congressman Dingley was unchanged. He was rest ing easily and was less delirious than he had been: Mr. Dingley's condition during the past twenty-four hours has been ex tremely critical, and, despite the as surances, of the physicians that they have not abandoned hope, there is strong apprehension as to the out come, the patient growing gradually weaker. The physician who remained most of the night reported at mid night: ."Mr. Dingley is certainly no worse, and is resting quietly." Messrs. Edward and N. H. Dingley, of Kalamazoo, two of the sons, who speeded between Kalamazoo and Fort Wayne on a special switch engine, to catch the flyer there, arrived here to night, and A. G. Dingley, another son, will reach here Monday, from Mexico. President MoKinley called at the ho tel to inquire, in person, this morn ing, and Mrs. McKinley sent the dis tinguished patient a bunch of flowers. SORRY SPECTACLE. EnfflUh LlbernlM Are Without Lead ers, Policy or Cash. LONDON, Jan. 7.— The Liberals pre sent the melancholy spectacle of a par ty without leaders, without a policy and, most serious of all, without cash.

Part 1 PJ-.ICE FIVE CENTS. WAR IS IN THE AIR TENSION BETWEEN GREAT BRIT AIN AND FRANCE IS GROWING MORE .SERIOI'S COLLISION EXPECTED BY BOTH NATIONS FASHODA INCIDENT WAS BIT \ TRIFLE IN COMPARISON WITH LATER DISAGREEMENTS OFFICIAL UTTERANCES OF LONDON TIMES _• Hostile and Vigorons That Frenchmen Are Convinced Ens land Is Seeking a Quarrel Brit ons Will Brook No Further SliKhts From the French En B , land ln Africa. •Co__Tlghted by the Associated Press. LONDON, Jan. 7— All events seem to work together ln European politics io increase the tension between Great Bri tain and France. The past week has brought Madagascar and Egypt as ir ritants, Just as the mutual irrltabiiity was subsiding. Even the most conser vative observers begin to take a pes simistic view of the relations between the two powers. This includes those who, up to the present, have considered the belligerency to be mere talk due to supersensitiveness upon the part of Prance, and the unnecessary gruffness upon the part of Great Britain in in sisting upon what she considers to be her rights. On one side, France seems to foster the growing belief that Great Britain Is determined, under s< me pre text or other, to force her into war, and. is wijllng to make a pretex if no plaus ible excuse arises. On the other side a large part of the British public state that their patience has been strained beyond endurance in what they deem to be the unfavorable phase of French diplomacy. The past twenty-four hours brought out the Madagascar blue book, which was followed by a leading editorial in the Times, denouncing France ln lan guage so fiery for that conservative newspaper that Frenchmen are read ing the two together and are constru ing them as parts of a deliberate policy inspired by one mind. That mind, in the theory of the "man -in -the -street" is Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonies. Other papers may storm and shout, and are not no ticed, but when the Times becomea abusive, foreigners interpret it as le •ing the voice of the government. In the present instance some Englishmen will place the same construction upon its utterances, recalling how the Times led the "no surrender" cry over the Fashoda incident, under evident in spiration. One fact is certain— publio opinion in Great Britain will not sanc tion the government to swerve an inch to avoid war with France, thinking . that if it must come this is the best time to have it out. PROTECTORATE TN EGYPT. Many people give importance to tha issuance of the Madagascar blue book, almost simultaneously with the quiet but unmistakable pronouncement at Khartoum, by which the British agr there, Viscount Cromer, in his remarks to the sheikhs, announced that Great Britain has set her seal upon Egypt. If there was ever a doubt in the minds of her European rivals that Great Britain intended to foreclose tlie mort gage upon which she has expended so much labor and blood to secure, It must have been Bet at rest by the ut terances of Lord Cromer, in which tho word "protectorate" was written in large letters, though the government's mouthpiece carefully abstained from using that incendiary word. More definite notice that Great Rrit tain's tenure on Egypt is permanent could not be asked. The British agent told the assembled sheikhs that hence forth they would live under the joint British and Egyptian flags, knowing no sovereignty but that of the queen and the khedive, which, of course, means that the latter will be a harmless figurehead. This formal assumption of sovereignty over the Soudan is more distasteful to France than to any other nation, and renewed protests may Ire expected. AFRICAN ENTERPRISE. In the meantime another enterprise of the utmost moment in furtherance of Great Britain's domination in Afri ca is about to be consumated. Mr. Cecil Rhodes, the former premier of Cape Colony, alleged instigator of the Jameson raid, and the so-called "Na poleon of 'South Africa," Is coming to England to arrange for pushing for ward the Cape Town-Cairo railroad, so long the dearest dream of the imperial ists. A 'definite proposition will be presented by Mr. Rhodes to laondon capitalists for an extension of the rail road from Bulawayo to Lake Tangan yika. He does not pretend it will be a paying investment from the start. Its importance for some years will be political instead of commercial, and he hopes to persuade the British gov ernment to smooth the way by guar anteeing 3*. per cent interest on the bonds to cover the cost of construc tion. Mr. Rhodes counts upon influen cing moneyed men to back their pa triotism with their cash, even If he is unable to enlist tha government on his side. If any man can succeed in this project Mr. Rhodes is the man. But one barrier stands in the way in the form of the Congo convention guar anteeing the neutrality of that part of the continent about Lake Tangan*. i which even the autocrat of Rhodesia will find hard to force. Here Gerfna.ny will have the veto of Great Britain's advancement, which she cannot be ex pected to waive without a heavy in demnity. IV'-K-iiKcr Pooil Prolonged.
