Manila, Aug. 29.—Steamers

maintaining the former Spanish

Gen. Merritt will sail on the
steamship China on Tuesday on
his way to Paris to attend the
sessions of the peace conference.
No agreement has yet been
reached with Aguinaldo upon
any subject, although circum
stantial miners are current that
everything lias been settled to
the mutual Satisfaction of those
concerned.
The situation, although un
doubtedly unsatisfactory, re
mains unchanged, pending a fi
nal settlement. Aguinaldo pro
poses to remove his headquar
ters immediately to the large
town of Malatos, province of
Bulacan situated on the railway
line twenty miles North of Ma
nila.
There he will shortly assemble
a congress chosen from the
leading Filipinos who favor the
insurgent cause. He further in
tends to send a representative to
Paris to argue his claims for the
establishment of an insurgent
republic.
Malatos is an excellent strate
gic point, covering a rice and
tobacco district beside the route
to Blancaboto, where ‘the Span
iards were formerly obliged to
make a treaty by which they
purchased a cessation of hostili
ties.
Ihe movement was probably
necessary partly because Agui
naldo was fast losing his influ

ejected to be permitted to oe-

London, Aug. 29.—The Fi
nancial News-says that the: loss
of Cuba to Spain and
tainty that neither the United
States nor the Cuban govern
ment will assume the public
debt of the island effect the bank
of Spain more seriously than is
realized by outsiders.
The Cuban debt amounts to
of marine in Madrid borrowed
34,000,000 from the- bank of
Spain, giving in security 34,000-
000 pounds of Cuban interior
bonds, Apparently these bonds,
were issued without legal au
thority, and they are therefore
mere waste paper.
With Cuba lost,’ the -paper
continues, the situation is ag
gravated by the fact that Spain
will have,to confess the manner
in which gjhe has missed her
control of the bank.of Spain'.
The repudiation of the Cuban
debt will severely upon the bank
and the gigantic 10-s will perhaps
compel it to clise its doors. The
government will exert every
possible effort to u
calamity, for if the notes which
form the bulk of the bank’s cir
culation should become worth
less the popular outcry against
every one in authority might
produce unlooked for results.
Under the circumstances, the
paper concludes, the Spanish
government is more likely to
utilize such financial assistance
as can be obtained from Paris to
ameliorate the home situation
chan to maintan its csedit with
foreigners.

Since his arrival at Manilla he
undoubtedly has gathered a
fund of information that will be
of distinct value to the Ameri

idea is to have him attend the

He will be able to supply
much detailed information that
it would be impossible for the
