8 IT WILL K Effl Establishment of American Rule In the Philippines. A MONASTIC COLON/ Revolutionary Sentiment Due to Incomplete Education of the Natives. By Associated Press. New York, Dec. 19. —A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says: One of the best informed men in Spain on the Philippine Archipelago, having lived in the Philip pines for a Jong time -and being personally fccquainted With the leaders of the present Insurrection, thinks the Americans will not meet witli much difficulty in establishing their dominon over the archipelago. In regard to the monks, of whom he Kpake without animosity, he thought they constituted a power in the country whicn could be utilized, but their sphere of action should be limited to purely refligious and moral functions. “Spain,” he *aid, “has not lost much in losing the Philippines. Instead of a Span ish coloney it was a monastic coloney, 'the enoromuH profits of which went to Rome into the hands of cheifs of various orders which exploited the archipelago. “There are many who think that the or igin of all the insurrection of the Tagalos was the crea'tion of the monks of the uni versatien at (Manila, which distributed every year a great qauntity of diplomas to the natives, who thus regared them selves as young literary men, but who had. more arrogance than knowledge. The monks fiFled the empty heads of the Taga loe with the theory of Roman law and the philosophy of St. Augustine and St. Thomas. Secret lodges and Spanish liberal Demo cratic newspapers quickly transformed this kind of learning into revolutionary aspi rations and protests agains't an insupport able theoretic denomination. It is very probable that new schools of the arts and crafts or agriculture would have produced absolutely the contrary results.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER ig 1898. UMS Bankers Do Not Think it Will Be Made ’ MONEY IS PLENTIFUL But Our Financiers Do Not Knew of the Guaaantees of Rus sia. By Associated Press. Chicago, Dec. 19.—A number of Chicago bankers and financiers have been inter viewed in relation to the reported appli cation of one of the European powers for a heavy loan in the United States. Isaac G. Lombard, president of the American National Bank, said: “I hardly think that his country will make a loan 1 to Russia, at least not a large one. There is surplus money here, but not enough 10 warrant a large national loan. America has made many foreign loans hut not to governments. Rates here are about as low as anywhere <at pre>sent.” Ernest A. Hamill, president of the Com -1 mercial National bank, said: “There is no question but that this country is beconrng so rich that its surplus money will seek investment abroad. The balances in its favor are growing larger and it is accum ulating wealth at a rate that is unprece dented. Money, consequently, is easier here than elsewhere. For this reacon, though, proposition of making a loan to a foreign government is unpreieJented in this country, i; seems natural and o’.ic gether probable. ‘ln case such a loan is made Chicago is in a position to»jhcv'(Je a coiside uo’e share of it.’’ • “There is no doubt but that if Russia wants a loan this would be the natural place to seek it,” said J. B. Forgan, vice president of she First National bank. The New York last week added $10,61'0,- 000 to their 'accumulated surplus an 1 the Chicago banks $5,000,000. Some of the Mexican states are now taking steps to borrow in the country. 1 have no knowl edge beyond the newspaper reports that Russia is about to secure a loan anywhere, and I comment that the truth of the re port w’ould be mere conjecture.” John C. Black, president of the Conti nental National bank, said: “It is as sure to come as 'tomorrow that America will become a great money lending nation like England and the greater nations of the old world. The United States is accumu lating wealth twice as fast as any other country. It would occasion no surprise should it be reported that Russia was seeking a loan in England or France and should not in the case of this report that Russia may seek a loan in America.’’ ■Charles L. Hutchinson, vice president of the Commercial Exchange National bank, j said: “The report that Russia is seeking a ■ loan in this country may be true, but to I me it seems improbable. The mere start- j ing pf such a report indicates a change in i the financial status of the country among nations of the world.” Elbridge J.. Keith, president of the Met ropolitan National bank, said: “The idea of the United States making any loan to Russia does noe keem probable, chiefly be cause American financiers are not well enough acquainted with conditions in Rus sia to warrant them in meeting such a proposition without a great deal of cau tion. The financial relations have not been close between the two countries and ‘ the matter appear in a different . light if England or Germany or France of . Belgium or any of the countries with I wiilcH we have a large trade would seek | to make the loan. Then, too, specie pay- [ ment in Russia is a new thing and there ; would be questions as to the stability of i conditions there. But America now has a • large surplus to its credit due to temper- ■ ary conditions largely in its favor, such as increased exports and large foreign credit I balances. But this country has lots of use 1 for its own money in developing its own I Industries and resources and though there ; is much American monew abroad, it does | not seem probable that American capital ' would seek invest ment in any large sums in Russia.” GhaufiCey J. Blair, president of the Mer- I chants’ National bank, said: I know | nothing about conditions in Russia of the ■probability of that country trying to tie- t gotiate a government loan in this country but the conditions of the money market here are such as to make the story cred ible.” ' j Free to every purchaser at the Christ- . mas.

Detective Alex Clarke this morning cap tured four men whom he suspects as pick pockets and whom he thinks have been robbing the people here all the morning. He had the men spotted early in the day and when the president returned to the depot and was going to the train men made their appearance in the crowd. They soon saw that they were being followed and made an effort to get away. Three of them were caught and the other man ran. Detective Clarks fired two shots at the fleeing man and he came to a halt and surrendered. They were placed in the patrol wagon and carried to the police station. They were searched on 1 their arrival there and over three hundred dollars was found on their persons. They gave their names as J. R. Ray, D. V. Norris, Melton Gillon and William Smith. They had the money secreted about their persons fn different places. It is thought that they are the men who have been robbing people all along the president’s trip. Representative King of Houston county was robbed this morning just as the Central train came in, but the thief was captured and the money was re turned to him. The men will be tried to morrow morning. THE WEATHER BUREAU •TT. i. Departr. ent Making! Progress With Ma con’s Requisition. |T7'W Mr. T. S.
