EASTERN The German Press Over Peace ADVICE OF EUROPE NECESSARY To Settle the Philippine Question Spaniards in the Ladrones Wish to go to Manila Philippinos in Europe Oppose Catholic Domina tion in the Philippines Threatened Repulse Between England and China Affairs in Porto Rico Span ish Formal Report on Surrender of Manila Fighting Between Spanish and Cabans- Madrid. August 27, 3 p. m. Negoti ations have been opened wth Wash ington to obtain permission for the Spaniards in the Ladrone islands to go to Manila, as the situation in the La drones is extremely critical. Great preparations are being made at Vigo and Pontevedra for the repatriated soldiers who are expected to arrive there shortly. All possible sanitary precautions are being made. Commandant Emilio Diaz de Moreu, former captain of the cruiser Cristo bal Colon, promises to conduct a live ly anti-government campaign in the cortes on his return to Spain. It is pointed out, however, that he, as well as all the other commanders of Ad miral Servera's squadron, will have to appear before a court-martial before anything else is done. As soon as the commandant arrives the government will ask the cortes for authority to prosecute him, as he is a deputy and this authorization is necessary. A semi-official denial is made of the statement that Admiral Cervera has written a letter, published in the American press, praising the American navy. His authorship is repudiated. PHILIPPINOS IN EUROPE. London, August 27. The Philippine islands committee in Europe has ad dressed a letter to President McKin ley regarding the appeals made to him by high Koman Catholic ecclesiastics in America to protect the religious or ders in the islands. The expuision of the friars, the committee contends, is "a necessary antecedent to moral san itation." The letter names particularly the archbishop of Manila and the bishops of Nueva Sagovia and Nueva Caseres, "whose acts of hostility against both natives and Americans and against the Jesuites and other re spected religious institutions are con demned by every one." The committee urges President McKinley to "aid the Philippinos to suppress the immorali ty of the diabolical institutions foster ed by these monks" and the letter con cludes as follows: "Your name can never be associat ed with that of the friars; and in a sense of right of the noble nation at whose head you are placed will never permit the ever-victorious and human itarian stars and stripes to protect them." IIUPTURE BETWEEN CHINA AND ENGLAND. London, August 27. Authoritative confirmation has been received of the dispatch from Pekin to The Daily Mail this morning asserting that the rela 'tions between the Tsung Li Yamen and Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister to China, are strained to the point of rupture and that Sir Claude has intimated that Great Britain will -regard as a casus "belli any failure on the part of China to " observe her -wishes. They say that the situation 'between Great Britain and China is acute, Sir Claude MacDonald strenu ously insisting that China shall ob serve her engagements to the British syndicates and demanding satisfactory explanations with regard to the Pekin liankow railway. If necessary, the British squadron now assembled at Wei-Hai-Wei will support the Brit ish minister's demands. Meanwhile it is -stated the negotiations that are be ing conducted by Sir Charles Scott, tt British ambassador at St. Peters burg, to define the respective British and Russian spheres of influence are proceeding in a friendly spirit. THE-GERMANS ON THE QUESTION OF PEACE. ' Copyright by Associated Press.) Berlin August 27 Th? German press ctmtinuet to discuss the peace condi tions from various view points, a ma jority of the papers according to the United 'States high prais for the mod eration tb American government has displa3td. .Most of them seem to ex pect that difficulties will urise over the ultirrtaAe tfi:iosition and control of the Philippines; but, as a rule, the argu ments advanced are repetitions and threadbare. The Koelnisciie Zeitung's editorial may be worth quoting, as there is the best reason for believing that it was inspired. It ayv: "Before a definite peace is concluded considerable time .must elapse. Meanwhile the interna- uonal situation in the Philippine and tve far emt generally may have changed materially. It is not ftkely that Spain and the United States will agrtv to a definite settlement of -the Philippine question without taking the advise of the powers interested, pai .tieularly Russia and Prance." "The forei.n office maintains abso lute retVence as to thf present atti tude of the government on the sub ject." AFFAIRS IN PORTO RICO. Guayama Porto Rico, August 27. General Brooke has not yet received his instruction and credentials as a member of the .Porto Rican commis sion, which he wiVl await before pro ceeding to San Juai?- A troop of the Sixth cavalry will escort him over land to San Juan unless objection is offered by Governor Gen ei"al Macias, In'which case he will procet d by sea.

There are 323 cases of sickness here, mostly malaria and dysentery. The rain falls in torrents daily.

London, August 28. The Madrid cor respondent of The Sunday Times says: "The government has received a cipher dispatch from Manila giving full details of the capitulation and of the condition of the island. The con tents of the dispatch have not been made public. General Rios, governor of the Visayas islands, reports fighting between the rebels and Spanish troops at Cebu and Iloilo. A flotilla has been organized to protect these islands from invasion by the rebels sent from Lu zon by Aguinaldo. General Rios has armed several battalions of milita.

Senor Sagasta today declared to a number of journalists that bands of carlists do not exist in Spain. CAPTAIN DUNCAN SUNTENCISD To lmpriKOument for Desecrating Graves or Confederate Soldiers The President at Camp Meade Camp Meade, Middleton, Pa., August 27. President and Mrs. McKinley spent a pleasant hour today at Camp Meade en route to Somerset, Pa., for a short vacation. The president and Mrs. McKinley reached here at 1 o'clock on a special train from Wash ington and were met by General Gra ham and staff, and the First Delaware regiment, which was detailed as guard of honor. The regiment was drawn up along the road leading to camp, and when the president and other guests had been seated in open carriages the regiment presented arms and the band played "The President's March." Secretary of the Common wealth Martin and Attorney General McCormick received the president in the absence of Governor Hastings, who is in the south with the Pennsyl vania hospital train. After a hurred inspection of the quarters of the general and his staff, the president and Mrs. McKinley were driven through the camp. Company streets were scrupulously, clean and the men looked their best. The president was much pleased with the location of the camp and the appearance and con dition of the men. The various reg iments were drawn up in line to re ceive the party when they arrived at .their quarters. The president visited the division liospital and the hospital which the Ked Cross Society, of Philadelphia, has efetablished for the care of the most serious cses.

I pians were iuny carnea oui. ine rev- enue collector went to Edenton to give j i ....... stunner aiu in a more or less cuiei way. Some republicans feared that E. A. Moye might give Skinner trouble. There are not a few of them who are afraid of Senator Butler. One of these says: "I do not minimize Butler's in fluence with the populists. He has much even yet. It all depends on howT many pouplists we can control. I be lieve we can control enough. The railway commission next Tues day'Will file its decision in the mat ter of the reduction of passenger rates on the Raleigh and Gaston division of the Seaboard Air Line. There is every reason to believe that the reduction will be ordered. Of course the com pany will appeal to the courts. It may also put the matter in the federal courts. The taxes due by Swain county were today paid into the state treasury. They were 2,184.S6. The costs were add?d. The sheriff and tax collector (Teague) failed, assigned and did not pay and his bondsmen had to put up the money, which they did through an Asheville bank. There is a fine of $1,000 in such, but from this the sheriff relieved Teague's bondsmen, in con sideration of their immediate settle ment. The republican state chairman ridi cules the nomination of Dr. J. O. Wil cox of Wilkes by the republican "insur gents" of the Eighth district for con gress against It. Z. Linney. Holton, the state chairman, declares that the movement is engineered by Dr. Wheel er and a few other dissatisfied men. People from the district tell quite an other story. Chairman Holton says that though he has just opened headquarters, he has been at work a month and has sent out three addresses, none of which he will give to the press. He says the burden of all these is , the charge that the democrats have com mitted fraud in elections. The populists in the First judicial district nominate W. J. Leary for judge, while the republicans nominate Augustus W. Moore for judge and C. W. Meekins for solicitor. The repub licans here announce that "the dif ferences as between Moore and Leary will be arbitrated by the republican and populist state committees, as agreed on. This means those com mittees will decide whether Leary or Moore shall "corrie down." Raleigh, N. C, August 27. Messenger Bureau, Revenue Collector Duncan, who. went down to Edenton to look after republi can interests at the meeting of the populist congressional convention, re turned hore today. He said: "The convention gave Harry Skinner ninety seven votes, PJ. A. Moye fifty-three. None of the Moye men bolted. A. J. Moye, while smarting under a rasping given him by Hodges, of Beaufort, said he would meet Skinner at the polls, or words to that eflect. The re publicans gave thanks that they were rid of A. J. Moye. E. A. Moye, like all other good partisans, will support the ticket. The republican congressinal convention was held directly after the adjournment of that of the populists, and gave Skinner thirty-two out of thirty-five votes. The populists acted beautifully. They weighed things care fully and then took action. Senator Butler's man Friday, his secretary, Hoover, was at the populist conven tion, but disappeared after the vote was taken. Wheeler Martin was at the republican convention and fought Skinner in its caucus, but after the nomination he said he would fall in line with, the other good republicans. Theophilus White nominated Skinner. Butler had been trying to induce White to be a candidate for the nomination. Butler had written a letter to every delegate, urging them to vote against Skinner. But the convention trampled Butler under foot. The populist con vention said it endorsed Skinner's ac tion in working to secure Pritchard's renomination for the senate, and that this was carrying out an agreement." Among today's arrivals here is Pro fessor Henry Jerome Stockard, of Fredericksburg, Va., well known as a poet. The theatrical season was opened here last evening by Al. G. Fields at the Academy of Music. The audience was a large one, there being 1,400 paid admissions. , t Wake county's democratic conven tion was held today, with a large at tendance and unusual interest. The fund for the monument of Lieu tenant W. E. Shipp, Tenth cavalry, U. S. A., killed at Santiago, is increasing. Julian S. Oarr, of Durham, gives $100.
