LLOYD E HARPER. 208, Broad street. Dr. 11. R. Allen’s proposition to use oil in christening the Il linois seems to have been made in seriousness, and not to throw ridicule upon the attempt of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union to have water used. Hair oil would be inappropriate, and it lard oil were used the cere mony would be commenorative of Chicago’s greatest industry ; but so far Gov. Tanner has made no reply to Dr. Allen's letter making the suggestion. maatafatobe king The Exile will Return and Again Rule Samoa.

Littie Atten tion Paid to Aguinaldo Iloilo, Philippines,via Manila, Oct. 3.—ln order to avoid the Spanish censorship this dispatch was marled to Manila, whence it was forwarded by cable. The Saniards at Iloilo are greatly pertube lby fear of the insurgents, and the wildest ru mors are in circulation concern ing the action of Gen. Rios, gov ernor of the Viscayas. Since the surrender of Manila to the Americans Cen. Rios has sent to Mindanao 500 addition al troops, and it is now suppos ed that they have 2,000 there, but this is belieyed to be an ex aggeration- The preparations to resist the insurgents are very feeble, and the Spaniards feel that they are helpless against natives. The Spanish gunboat El Ca no is out of repair and useless, and two smaller ones there are even in worse condition. It is understood that the natives and negroes on the other Viscaya Is lands are waiting to see if the Americans take the islands. With this they would be satisfied, but they would not submit again to the rule of Spain. If the Americans shall leave they will start an insurrection which will sweep the islands. One or two Spanish posts on the Island of Panay are surrounded by natives, but nothing further has been done. Business men are showing the keenest interest in the situa tion. Many of them have been here 20 years or more and are unanimous in their conviction that if the Americans do rot take and hold the islands they will all be ruined. Englishmen of experience among the bu.-i --ness" men say that the people are docile and easily managed. No attention is being paid to the ratification of the Filipino declaration of independence by the Filipino congress at Maloslos on Thursday. There is some smallpox here, but the health condition is not serious. The United States war ships Boston and Raleigh have returned to Cebu. SPAIN’S GREATEST NEED. Mr. R, P. Olivia, of Carcelon ia, S.
