MERRITT SHOWS
SOME UNEASINESS
Attitude of the Insurgents In
dicates Trouble for the
Americans.
THEY ARE WELL ARMED
Messages to the Departments at Wash
ington Foreshadow a Clash Be
tween United States Troops
and. Natives Under the
Bebel Lender.
Washington. August L—General Merritt
has again cabled the war department rel
ative to the situation in Manila, which he
finds very unsatisfactory, owing to the
attitude of the insurgents. It was reported
to General Merritt that the attitude of
the insurgents is similar to that assumed
by Garcia's Cubans on the question of
their right to enter and possess themselves
of the city, although in this case these in
surgents are a very much mere formidable
ch merit, b< lng not only more numerous,
but 1- tt.-r armed and tilled with the arro
gance following numerous victories over
tiie Spanish forces.
Gen -ral Merritt, however. Indicates that
In v. i 1 do ii.s most to protect the citizens
tiom tin- savagery of the insurgents,
task 1 a dellcat t and difficult
one. li< iv.se of the fact that lie must,
whie lightmg the Spaniards, be ready
a any moment to repel the Insurgents.
'l’.' • g< ner ■ gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
in a join: demand for the surrender of the
city to the I'nited States forces, thus
fu:< ail! :.g the insurgents and this move
may cause a rupture. It is possible, in
view of th< fact that General Merritt's
ci pi-gram xvas sent from Cavite last
Thursday, t at this movement has been
made already by the combined American
mili.ary ..nd nival forces, although there
is . one debate about tills on account of
i. statement from General Merritt that
in may med all of his soldiers before at
t.i king. Stiil. It is possible that the de
mand might be made without being Im
xll 11 »■! v followed by an attack, which
might be de,erred until all the troops have
reached Cavite.
I p to the date of the report, General
Merritt had witli him about 12,000 soldier--,
y , f a r seven expeditions hav< left San
l-tamis.o carrying soldiers to the I’hlllp
p.a, and it is the intention to furnish
Mer itt a: b ast 8,000 men more than his
;i•-- .ul force. If In- delays his attack
until all these have reached him, Manila
wd, not be taken in that way before Sep
temb-.-r. for the last of the troops have not
yet started from San Francisco. It may
in . h 'Wever, that the arrangement ns to
t I’hillppim s which It is expected will bo
melmli .1 ,n the peace treaty will obviate
ti m-,‘> .sity for further action on the
j ata of the American commanders.

There is a lack of information In Wash

the conditions in the Philippines. For in
stance, it is not known, even approximate
ly, how extensive the revolutionary move
ment has been through tine vast group of
1.200 islands and among the large popula
tion, estimated to aggregate between 8,000,-
000 and 15.000,000. If the revolutionary move
ment is general and extends to very many
of tlhe islands the task presented io the

event that it is decided to be Incum
bent upon us not to restore. Spaintsh sove

MORE TROOPS FOR MERRITT.
TWENTY THOUSAND NOT CONSID
ERED TO BE ENOUGH.
Attitude of the Insurgents Makes the
Presence of a Strong Army Nec
essary To Control Them.
Washington, August 2.—Although tho wnr
department officials will not admit they
have any intention of re-enforcing further
| General Merritt's forces at Cavite, there is
i reason to believe that some of the troops
n >w in tiie eastern camps who desire to
I see active service will soon find Hie oppor
, tunlty nnb ss tiie government shall change
| its present plan with respect to tiie Fhilip-
I pines. It is believed to be necessary even
I If our claims are limited to the terms stated
in the conditions submitted to Spain, name
ly, to the military occupation and govern
ment of territory on tiie shores of the bay
of Manila, to furnish to General Merritt
; n larger force than he has now under his
' command.
, It is realized that 20,000 soldiers can
l scarcely be expected to maintain United
I States possession and protect the inhabl-
I tants over u territory of this extent, for
It must be remembered that tiie, bay ot
|'Manila Is twenty-five miles from tile en-
I trance at Corregidor island to the city
iof Manila and its head. It will also lie
! necessary to possess and protect a zone
extending some distance back of the city
In order to make sure of the preservation
of the waterworks.
Os course a considerable force would no'.
!bo necessary if tile insurgents under
Aguinaldo could be brought to re.lize that
their interests lie in permitting indisputed
possession of the territory by the i n ed
States, but it would be < xpecting too mtn i
of the native character to keep before Hie
i eyes of the insurgents tiie ridh loot to
' be had in M inila without an a.oqu.il •
force lo protect the pl.n-c. Then will) tile
growing heat ami d impness it is to bi- ex
pected that illness will develop among the
' troops, not to tiie extent th it It appeared
■ at Santiago, but sufficient to require some
' of tiie men to l*e invalided and lheir place
| to be taken by fresh troops from tho
I I’nited iTates.
| At present ;!he large majority of General
. Merritt’s force is composed ot troops
I drawn from the I'aeitic least or far west
■ <-rn states. It is presum'd thai if he sli.-dl
be re-enforced the eastern trooiis wal lie
given an opportunity to make tile long
voyage to Manila, us this would 1» in ac
cord with the policy that tile w ir depart

The transports Peru and City of Puebla
arrived from San Francisco early on tho

than such functions usually d '-
General Otis is uncertain as to his stay
here. It is understood tiiat he. in the event
of no orders to the contrary, will proceed
to Manila without waiting for Admiral
Miller on the Philadelphia, ami If tiie other
transport- arrive v thin a day or two. as
is expected, it is not likely that General
Otis will wait for the warship, much as he
and bls force would like to see the flag

will have no military governor. Colonel
Barber will be post commander as long as
bis regiment remains here.
Minister Scwall received no word or

Another link has been added to the
chain of territory, which connects the
United States xvith their newly acquainted
for-'igns possessions in the Pacific ocean.
On Jum 21st, Captain Glass, of tae

xvar l.ctween tie fr country and tiie United
States, wore taken completely by surprise
and surrender! d the Islands, their arms
and themselv.'s without offering the slight
est resistance.
Tin harbor of San Luis O'Apra, on tiie
west <oast of th. main island Ui'.am, is an
Idea! coal ng station, and the whole group
will undoubtedly prove to the incal'itlable
value to tile Uni'Ad States. Guam lies
3.3ii1» miles by south from Honolulu, 1.350
miles southeast of Yokobamo, 1,590 la.h's

The first three days of the Charleston's
run from Guam to Manila Was without
inel.b nt. but on Juno 28th, shortly after
haling J'oint laigana, tiie north<-asterly
cape of Luzon island, a strange stcanu-r
appeared on tin- liorrizon. Tiie Charles
ton was immediately cleared for action,
tho I'onvoys fell into lino in her wake and
preparations wore made for giving the
stranger a xvarm reception should sh p
prove too hostile.
She turned out to be the United States
steamer Baltimore, which had heed wait
ing the fleet for ten days. The ships were
hove to while Captain Dyer reported to
Captain Glass, but on his return to tip l
Baltimore the whole fleet got under way at
Increased speed. As it rounded tho north
end of the. Island the first rough weather
of the trip, in the shape of a southwesterly
monsoon, was encountered.
At 2 p. m,, on June 30th, the Baltimore
Jed the way into Manila harbor, and three
hours later tho fleet anchored under the
wing of the flagship Olympia within a few
miles of the wrecks of the Spanish squad
ron which had been annihilated by Rear
Admiral Dewey two months before.
A largo fleet of foreign men-of-war lay
along shore just above Manila, most of
xvhom were Germans. An addition xvas
made to the fleet by tho arrival of the
Kaiser In Augusta, which followed the
transports Into the harbor from a small
cove just outside.

Hawaiians Still Aliens.
San Francisco, August 1. Hart IL North,
commissioner of immigration tit this port,
has received instructions from Washing
ton to treat all immigrants from Hawaii
as alien immigrants until such time as
laws can be perfected to govern them.
The rule will settle all questions as to the
enlram-i of certain races for Hie time
being and will be a warning to steamship
compan.es.

San Francisco, August G. The transport
steamers Laknio and Charles G. Nelson,
bearing live companies of the First New
York volunteers and the Second United
States volunteer engineers, sailed for Hon
olulu today.
j WILL BE GIVEN PROTECTION.
Catholic Clergy at Manila Will Be
Cared for as Other Denominations.
Washington, Angus; 6. Inasmuch as It
has been stated that th v archbishop of Ma
nila has been directed by Hie Vatican to
place himself and his clergy under the pro
tection of the American command. It may
be stated that such protection will be of
fered on exactly the same terms and con
ditions tiiat it will be extended to the cler
gymen of all religious denominations and
to all non-combatants In Manila and the i
remainder of the Philippines.
It is known that the Insurgents have par
ticularly singled out the Catholic clergy as
the objects of their vengeance, without
doubt inspired by the powerful assistance
afforded to the Spanish cause by the
priests and friars in their efforts to re
press the rebellion In its earlier stages.
However, so long as the clergy refrain
from taking up arms in tho Spanish cause,
the American commanders, navy and mili
tary. will afford them such protection as
the rules of civilized warfare require.
Already General Merritt has been In
structed by cable to investigate reports
that some monks were made prisoners by
tiie insurgents, and were about to be exe
cuted. This report came to the war de
partment from Catholic sources here, and
appears, according to Consul General Wild
man's report, to have Ix'en erroneou.-.
Still, had it turned out that the Insur- ■
gents were about to violate the rule ot I
civilization In this fashion. Gen.-ral Merritt |
would have promptly ami firmly intei
jiosed, even thought the result had beet]
to cause a rupture between himself ami
the insurgents.

HUMAN FREAK NEAR COLUMBUS
Child with One Body, but Has Four
Legs.
Columbus, G.i , August 6.—(Special.)-A
queer piece of humanity has just begun
| existence In Lee county, Alabama, a. few
i miles from Opelika. It is one of the
queerest human freaks on record. About a.
month ago a child was born to the wife
of a white farmer of the locality. Down to
the waist Hie cliild was like any other
baby, but the lower part of the body was
duplex In every particular. There wi re
two complete formations from the waist
down, male and female, the whole being at
tached to the main body. There are four
legs three well developed, being the nor
in il size. but the fourth was shrunken and
deformed. The child appears to be well, !
aial it has already lived a month, and may !
exist for months or years. Reliable per- '
sons in Columbus today from the commti- !
nity in which the child was born, gave In- ■
sot mation regarfling it.
"Dismal Brown” Is what they used to j

SPAIN SHOULD BEAR
ALL OF THE EXPENSE
Colonel Lhin;ston Gives His Views
on the Duty of America.
IN THE PRESENT STRUGGLE
Expansion of Territory Aids Our Com
merce and Is Good Democratic
Doctrine.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, August 3—(Special.)—Colonel
Livingston, who is here looking after some
matters of personal interest to constitu
ents, has very decided views of the gov
ernment's duties with regard to the terri
tory of Spain and he does not hesitate to
express them.
The congressman from the fifth district Is
above all things a man of practical Ideas,
an.) lie believes In the practical handling of
the affairs of the government as well as of
Individual affairs. He differs from some of
bis democratic colleagues on the practical
effect of territorial expansion and on the
principles involved, but he contends that
they, and not he, are straying from the
paths of democracy in tho position they
take.
"As a first proposition,” said the colonel.
In talking at the Riggs tonight, “it strikes
me that it is business sense to make Spain
hear the expense to which this country has
been put in this war, which was entered
into from principles of pure humanity.
Sho fore. <1 us into this war by her dis
graceful misrule in Cuba and the cruelty
..nd atro«-iti-- wii < h w.-re incidents In thnt
misrule We owed it to ourselves and to
humanity to go into the war when we
tound. beyond question, that all her pro
testations of doing better were worthless.
There cam-- a time wii. n forbearance httd
ceas.- | to lie a virtue, and when we hnd
to light. Spain is responsible and according
lo the world usage we have the right to
make h-.r bear Hie expense the wnr hns
imposed upon us. We should let no maud
lin sent.ment obscure that fact when R
comes to the reekonini;.
"Then there is another thing we must
not forg.-t: that is that hiving gone into
a war with Spain. I; was our business to
whip her a.s expeditiously and as complete
ly .is was in our poxver. All the talk
against our doing that, l.ised on our state
nn-r.t of our reasons for going to wnr. Is nil
poppy-.-... k. Because we went into It to re
lies,. th.- oppre-sed Cubans Is no reason
on earth why we should not strike Spain a
Plow wi-i.-nev- r .i,-.d wherever an op; o: tunlty
ofieti-.1. it w.i..j right to blow the Spanish
lle.-t out of the water down in Manila bay,
and it is right, to go ahead with the c--n
--qiie.st of I’orio Ri. o, though we knew next
to nothing about the Fhilippines when w«
made our deeiaration of war and despite,
tiie fact, that J’orto Rico was enjoying com
parative peac. under Spanish rub'. 1 have
no patience with those critics who seem to
think tiiat because we said we were going
into tilts thing to overthrow Spanish rule
in Cuba. w-e. should have sent our army and
our !li- -l at once to Havana, against the
belter judgment of our military and naval
.-xpi-rts. and when our experiences with
Santiago have shown that an attack upon
I lax.in.i with a raw and untri.-.i army
would have resulted in grave disasters. We
could have sent against Havana th m no
belter army than we sent against Santi
ago, and our information is tiiat Havana
would prove live or ten times as difficult
to take as Santiago.
Other Nations' Interests.
"Then ti. Rut conditions—but it is use
less to speculate on what might bav, hap
pened. What i started out to say was that
having gum- into the xvar. it was right and
proper to strike Spain a b ow wiier.-x' r she
showed her tn-ad. It xvas right for Dewey
to smash Moniojo and it is right lor Miles
tu plant the flag over the towns oi f’orto
Rico, anil hnving done tiiat. It is right tii.it
we should stand tho consequence.-. H our
action at Manila involves us in a lot of
responsibilitii's, it s proper that, we should
be ready to’ assume those respon-biiiti. s.
“Bv that.” continued the colonel, who by
tills time h id quite .1 crowd of listeners
around him. "I mean that if we have to
go to the extremity of holding all of the
islands of that group out there in the Fa
< iii.-, we must meet the issue, and as a na
tion we are fully capable of doing it. I
am not what might b- term - I an aggres
sionist for the mere possession of land. I
am, lioxv- ver, is stronglx- in favor of hold
ing proper commercial bases out there In
Hie i’aeitie as a man could be. and tiiat
se.-ms to me true democratic doctrine. I
know other democrats, sonic of them r>-
gardeil as the leaders of the puny, .lilf-r
wii.i me in this r.-sp.-.-t, but I cannot hung
niys.-lf to s»-o it as they du. I voted for
the annexation "f the H iw: l . an islands,
not because 1 b-Hove nine-tenths of th
poop), of lit- country wanted them annex
ed but because 1 regarded it as an excel
lent opportunity to further the democratic
poiicx- of extension of our comm.-r.-.-. Tin-
Haxvaiian Islands xvill prove -i most valua
ble commercial, as well as naval base.
Tin ,p-mo.III.- party from time immemo
, t ,| preac led the doctrine of ■ xtenslon of
our foreign commerce in the markets of
the world, in contradistinction lo the poll.-y
of tiie republican party, which tended to
restrict such extension by high tariffs.
"The republic.ms have preached home
markets and high hariffs They were
forced into the annexation of Hawaii
against the judgment of tho,-.- of their lead
ers who are regarded as the special repre
sentatives of the protected manufacturing
Interests of the north—forced into it, be
cause they saw the great revulsion of I lie
people against the Cleveland policy in pull
ing down the American flag at Honolulu.
They were shrewd enough to take advan
tage of that feeling among the people and
some of our democrats were so short sight
cd as to help them make annexation a re
publican issue by endeavoring to array all
tho democrats against annexation. Fer
haps 1 should not criticise in that way. but
I will say that, happily they did not suc
ceed .
"That annexation 1 regard as the enter
ing wedge for the overthrow of. the great
tariff monopoly which has kept the repub
lican party In power so long. They will
1 v>- to see it, and republicans representing
xiistinctly protection constituencies will live
to regret it.
"if, as the democrats have contended
almost from time immemorial, the exor
bitant tariff rates which have bc.-n built
up by the republican party ar.- burdens
upon tho people, anything that will tend to
ward the overthroxv of tiie protection ollg
iii.-hy should be hailed with delight by
d.moerats and liould hate the assistance
of all democrats. For the- same reason
that I supported the annexation of Hawaii.
1 am in favor of retaining interests in the
Fliilippines. It do.-s not take an expert
ir tariff mati.-rs and commerce to see that
the great tiekl f-T pushing American com
merce in the future is China and what we
know as the Orient, if we. as Americans,
.-ar.- to hold our own and go ahead in that
inviting ti.-ld, what we must do is to tint
oxirs.-lves in position to compete practically
with the nations of Europe. We should
retain a commercial base in th.- Fhilippine
Islands, than In holding the entire group;
"There would be less responsibility in
volved in Hie retention of Manila, as the
president has indicated in his peace terms,
or p.-rhaps in tiie retention of one of t lie
islands, than a holding the entire group;
but it looks to me as if it may prove im
practicable for us to escape so easily. I
have thought that the dilemma would pre
sent itself of our retaining sovereignty
over the entire group or I- Hing go entire
ly. If such a dilemma does arise, 1 would
favor holding the entire group.
Spain Taught a Lesson.

ities down there. XVo have brought about
