" Blow to the Insurrection The
-; T3rphoon Ended. '
Manila, July 12. General BaJtes, in
the capacity of agent of the United
States, sailed for Jolo .this "(morning to
negotiate with the sultan of Jolo on the
basis of the future relations of Jolo or
Sulu as a naval station. The sultan
assumes that Jolo reverts to him, the
evacuation. of the Spaniards nullifying
the treaty of 1878. Bates will explain
that the Americans succeeded the
Spaniards In the treaty assuming its
obligations and continuing the annuit
ies it provfoJe for. He will also present
to the sultan $10,000 In Mexican mon
ey as an evidence of good will.
The administration of Jok won't be
changed. The sultan is expected to fly
the American flag continuously and
co-operate -with the Americans to sup
press piracy.
Opinion is general that it will require
a comparatively large force to re-establish
peace, though Otis still believes
30,000 troops will be sufficient.
'Negotiation's for th6 -surrender of
Cavite province are hopeful. Agulnal
do knows what is going on and .unless
he Is able to prevent its consummation
the insurrection will receive the hardjJ
est blow tt has yet received.
The typhoon is ended and commerce

Havana, July 12. General Mayi
Rodriguez, one oJ the most bitter anti
Americans in Cuba, visited General
Brooke today with Director of Public
WVorks Menocal to obtain an order for
$17,000 to pay the Spanish ' merchants
who had advanced' provisions to the Cu
ban army. Brooke treated Rodriguez
cordially and promised to investigate
the claim. 'Rodriguez may be made
chief of the rural; guards' in Havana
province. It looks as if his opposition
to American contaol was temporarily
suspended and as his influence is very
great the leading cause of friction will
be removed. " . -

An Outcome of the Eevolution Brew
ing in. the Central American
Repnhlic.
New Orleans, July 12. The. disturbed
condition of affairs in Guatemala,
which presages revolution, are -intensified,
according to reports which reach
ed here today, by the threatened in
terference of England and Germany,
growing out of Guatemala's repudiation
of bonds held abroad. It is reported -that
two Cjerman and two English war
ships have teen ordered to Guatemala
to demand immediate settlement, and If
refused to seize the custom houses and
pay the bondholders out of the customs.
The Guatemalans announce that they
will appeal to the United States for
protection.
Despatches from San Francisco on
the 11th state that mail -advices from
Guatemala confirm the reports of an
approaching crisis in the Central Amer
ican republic. That the dissatisfaction
will lead to a revolution against the
administration of President Cabrera
seems hardly likely, in view of the fat
that there is no money in the c&untry to
organize against anything approaching
a formidable insurrection.
Uprisings in the city are, however,
expected, and. while they may not re
sult in Cabrera's downfall, they will
cause great loss to invested capital. It
is by no means unlikely that foreign.'
governments, especially the United
States and Germany, and possibly Eng
land, may be called upon to interfere,
if they have not been requested to do
so already. ." "
