SPAIN'S SOLDIERS
To be Colonixed in The Re
public of Mexico.
CR|(. PfINDO’B MISSION
Scheme to Settle 50,000 Vet
erans Finds Favor.
City of Mexico, August 24—The
visit of General Pundo, second in
command of the Spanish forces in
Cuba, has attracted much atten
tion among the official# of the
Mexican government and the peo*
pie interested in the Spanish*.
American conflict.
The utmost secrecy in which
everything was done, and the en
deavore made to keep his presence
unknown to newspapers, aroused
the curiosity and suspicion that
he was here on a secret mission
connected with the purposed riot
in Havana when the American
troops enter the city.
Since his departure it has leak
ed out, through a prominent
Spaniard who hnd a long inter
view with General Pando. that his
visit was for an entirely different
purpose. He came on the invita
tion of the members of the Span
ish colony to investigate a scheme
for colonizing a large part of the
Spanish troops, now in Cuba on
the great tracts of land in Mexico
owned by Spaniards, part of these
lands located on the isthmus of
Tehuantepec, and along the gulf I
of Mexicx in the vicinity of Tam
pico.
The proposition was to bring at
least 50,000 men and colonize
th-m. Ths Spanish soldiers have
been told what waits them when
they return to Spain without
money or homes. They will suffer
greatly. They are accustomed to a
tropical country, and would make
ideal colonists. The members of
the Spanish colony who are inter
ested would furnish money for
transportation and support the
plan.
It would n«»t the favor ot the
Spanish government, as the ques
tion of returning the seldiers and
the probi Hies of riot and over
throw of the government has been
considered.
Geo. Pando had a number of
conferences with prominent Span
iards, inc Tiding the Spanish minis
ter, Marquis Bendana. Telesforo
Garcia and Doltino Sanches. The
latter two are owners ol large tracts
of tropical lands. The exact result
of the conferences is not known,
but Pando was struck with the
feasibility of the scheme, and said
in confidence to prominent Span
iards that it would admirably set
tle a number of questions bother
ing his government
The representative Mexicans
were also seen, and it is under
stood that the matter received the
attention of the president, It is
believed the scheme was favorably
received, as Mexico greatly needs
a good class of colonists, Forty
thousand able men would greatly
build up sections where now there
are few people .
feai was expressed because
ao many soldiers might be used in
starting an insurrection in this
oo untry, but very few government
officials hold this view. The Diaz
government is too strong and
besides, the Spaniards would in all
probability be scattereu all over
the country, and unable to mass
together in sufficient numbers to
cause serious trouble,
Gen Pando left immediately
or Vera Crus, and is now in Hava*
**a, but will sail for Spain in a day
or two. While here he also held

Many Islands Want lo Get

JAMAICA THeTaTHSY.
Philippines Want to Come In.
Aguinaldo More Reasonable.
Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. 24.
—Coincident with the West In
dian sugar conference to assem
ble at Barbadoes on September
3d for the purpose of protesting
against a sacrifice of the colonies,
Jamaica is preparing a plebiscite
to the British parliament re
questing permission to endeavor
to arrange for the annexation to
the United States.
The promoters of this move
ment are endeavoring to secure
inter-coluiiial co-operation, but
they are not depending upon it.
WANT TO ANNEX
Friction Between Aguinaldo
And Americans Disappearing.
London, Aug. 24.—The Asso
ciated Press learns that the Phil
ippine junta in London received
a dispatch from Manila yester
day announcing that matters
there are rapidly quieting down,
and that the friction between
Gen. Aguinaldo and the Ameri
cans is disappearing.
According to the junta’s ad
vices the insurgents for a time
regarded Gen. Merritt and Gen.
Anderson as martinets, and
feared they would adopt harsh
methods, like the Spaniards, to
ward the Filipinos, but the in
surgents from the first have had
t!m greatest confidence in Ad
miral Dewey, whom they regard
aS sort of a father and the most
important American at Manila.
The junta is satisfied that all
friction will soon disappear and
that there will be no trouble
from the insurgents if the Amer
icans decide to retain the Philip
pines.
According to a wealthy Filipi
no now in London, the Filipinos
in Europe are all well to do
people. Hitherto they have held
aloof from the insurgents, but
they now realize that their inter
ests demand action, and they
are about to form a committee
to open negotiations with the
junta here. They are all in favor
of having the arc! ipt lago retain
ed by the Unittd States. So
strong is their conviction of the
desirability of this course that
they had contemplatedapproach
ing the British foreign office to
invite Geat Britain to intervene
and in any event to prevent the
islands being returned to the
control of Spain. They decided,
however, to await American ac
tion.
INSURGENTS ARE SATISFIED.
Manila, Philippine Islands,
Aug. 24.—The rumors of trouble
between the natives and the
Americans are for the most part
unfounded. The fact is that the
insurgents have been unwilling
to disarm unassurred of the per
manence of American protec
tion.
The distrust felt as to the
Spanish bank, which originated
in rumors as to the excessive
note issue to aid the Spanish
authorities led to a run on the
institution, but the British bank
ing houses came to its ass's'ance
and averted a failure.
Business is now booming. The
obstructions in the river Pasig,
which flows through the town,
have been removed and the wa
terworts have resumed opera
‘ lions.

RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of in these
days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability,
it prints the news—ail the news—and tells the truth
about it. i
It is the only American newspaper outside New York city
that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both
hemispheres. 1
It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world* * h i
Its war news service is unapproachably the best. ••
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier: '
b
“We read the war news in the other papers,
then we turn to THE CHICAGO RECORD to
see how much of it is true/'
