AN ants Absolute Independence—Natives Ho Not Want Annexation to the Initocl Slatei—Hehf'lfi In Con¬ trol of tho Island*. M axilla. Rear Admiral Dewey considers the situation critical. It is understood that he has asked for nn additional cruiser and battleship. The Spaniards assert that Germany willl t«Uo n coaling station here and that Spain will retain the islands. The last Spanish garrison at IIlocos and Laguna havo surrendered and the whole island of Luzon is in the handa of the insurgents, except at Manila and Cavite. Aguinaldo went to Tolollos on Fri¬ day. He has announced his intention of convening an assembly of the Phil* ipinos in September in order to decide upon the policy to be adopted by the insurgents. Associated The correspondent of the Press has had nn interview with Agui uuldo, who said: “Indeed, the whole population on the Philippine islands w as willing to light for their independence ” Continuing, Aguinaldo said ho had 9,000 military prisoners, including 5,000 in the vicinity of Manila, besides civil prisoners. Enter Aguinaldo said the “provis¬ ional government” was now operating twenty-eight provinces. He asserted that on August 2 they elected dele¬ gates in numbers proportionate to (lie population. he Ah to the American:, lie said that considered them as brothers, and that “The two sovereign republics were allied against n common enemy.” Aguinaldo has persistently demand¬ ed, in terms not too polite, various impossible concessions; for example, •u occupation of the governor-gener¬ al’s palace and other palaces, a written assurance that the insurgents will lie permitted to occupy permanently their military positions around Manila, and protection for the insurgent vessels by the American fleet with many other claims, including an innocent demand for a share of the booty cap¬ tured by the Americans at Manila. After a careful review of the situa¬ tion, General Otis arrived at the logi¬ cal conclusion that the insurgents have no right to occupy the suburbs of Manila, and that Aguinaldo’s claims have the support of neithor equity or reason. He has, therefore, categori¬ cally refused to consider Aguinaldo’s demands, and sent him nn ultimatum, in terms plainly comprehensible and authoritative, that he must his troops from the puly.^bs before the 16th or suffer the consequences of re¬ fusal. Burned or Massnewl, Tlfe correspondent of the London Times at Candia, island of Crete, who has just landod after livo days in the roadstead, says: “About (100 men, women and chil¬ dren were either burned alive or mas¬ sacred in the outbreak last week.

The recent heavy rains have proved very disastrous for river plantations. The Chattahoochee has eclipsed all previous records, so say the farmers on her banks. The county chaingang of Bartow will be abolished. This was the action taken at a meeting of the county com¬ missioners a day or two ago, and the order will go into effect on December 15th of the present year. The ordinance adopted by the At¬ lanta general council several months ago declaring that liquors must not be sold by pharmacists iu connection with drug business, was deolared valid by Judge W. T. Newmau in a decision handed down in the case of the Jacobs’ Pharmacy Company vs. the city of At¬ lanta.

Iu cer¬ tain towns of middle Goorgia the ad¬ visability of constructing a new road to connect with the Seaboard Air-Line, on the north, and tho Georgia and Alabama on tho south, is being discussed.

The work of equipping and providing for the re¬ cruits has been in the hands of the de¬ partment of the gulf, aud the constant movement of the detachments has put the officials to considerable inconven¬ ience. The Order Rescinded. The Second Georgia is to be mus¬ tered out. after all. and the Third is to stay in the service. That was finally determined Saturday aud orders to that effect were sent out from the adjutant general's office. The change was brought about by Judge Maddox. The judge repaired to the eapital as soon as he learned from Governor Atkinson that the two regiments des¬ ignated to go out were the I irst and Third, leaving that in which the judge was particularly interested to remain in the service. Despite the determi¬ nation reached their by the war department officials after talk with Governor Atkinson. Judge Maddox was resolved upon fighting his way to a finish. The upshot of his argument was that the order issued on Friday was rescinded, aud later when Judge Maddox went back, under appointment, he was m formed that his wishes had been granted, and that orders for the mus¬ tering out of the First and the Second would be itaued at once.

MIITIIII WILL IE DIFFICULT. Aguinaldo Openly Shows His Hostility io the United States Authorities' and Won’t Bet His Soldiers En¬ ter American Lines. i Manila.—T he attitude of the Philip¬ pine insurgent leaders is daily becom¬ ing more dangerous. So open is then opposition to the American authorities 1 that the situation is strained and recon¬ ciliation may be difficult. What makes the situation the more troublesome is the undisguised rivalry between the followers of General Aguinaldo, the self-proclaimed dicta¬ tor, and General Piopilar, who covets the honor which Aguinaldo h*» ao quired. is _ in command oi General Piopilar stationed south ol the insurgent troops in that Manila. He uses them a way will be most annoying to Aguinaldo,. and that the same time makes ewery effort to show his utter disregard of the American officials. His forces continue to parole thfli city, encouraging lawlessness in every direction. They are constantly annoy¬ ing the American troops, who are en¬ gaged in the difficult task of preserv¬ ing order. Aguinaldo’s course is no less annoy¬ ing. He no longer attempts to conceal 1 , his hostility to the officials who repre¬ sent the United States, and has issued an order prohibiting his soldiers from entering the American lines. This oourse was probably deemed necessary in order to prevent them from becom¬ ing so well disposed towards Ameri cans as to destroy his power by repu¬ diating his leadership. leaders The attitude of the rival can¬ not fail in the end to injure the cause of the Philippine independence. Cer¬ tainly it will prevent the presentation of a strong case before flip Paris com¬ mission in behalf of the Filipinos.
