Last evening after The Telegram had gone to press, a deal was consum mated by which the Allen House prop erty just east of the federal court house and postoffice building becomes the property of the Southern Guaran tee and Investment company. The present frame building, occupied by Mr. W. B. Allen, as a hotel, will be removed and in its stead will be erected a handsome four-story brick building. The work will be commenced at an early date just as Boon as plans can be perfected and the contract let. Mr. E. P. Wharton, speaking of the object of the building to a Telegram man, said: It will be an office build ing exclusively. According to the present plans it will be 52x120 feet, four stories high. It will be equipped with modern appliances and conven iences throughout, first-class and strictly up-to-date, with elevator. It will be heated by steam and hot water. The building will contain about six ty splendidly arranged office rooms, and it is already arranged that in it will be located the home offices of the local insurance companies, the South ern Stock-Mutual and the Under writers. This news, following closely on the announcement of the five story build ing on South Elm street for the Simpson-Shields shoe company, is interest ing to Greensboro people. In the meantime, while preparations are being made for the erection of the new building, Mr. Allen will con tinue business at the old stand. An nouncement of his removal will be made in due time.

MERRITT WANTS MORE MEN Calls for Fifty Thousand to Meet Any Emergency MUST SUPPRESS THE INSURGENTS I Agulnaldo's Forces Threaten to Kill the Bishop and Clergy at Cavite. Spain Wants Information. By Wire to Ths Tklbgkam. San Francisco, August 2 In reply to a despatch from General Merritt, who has established his headquarters at Cavite, General Merriam cabled that since the departure of Merritt to the Philippines five transports with nearly five thousand troops aboard have sailed for the Philippines. Scarcely had the message been cabled when General Merriam received a des patch from the authorities in Wash ington saying that General Merritt had asked to have the forces under his command augmented by the addi tion from twenty to fifty thousand soldiers. General Merritt thinks that with the additional troops asked for, he will be able to successfully meet any emergency or complication which may arise on account of the hostle at-' titude that the Insurgent General Aquinaldo has assumed toward the American troops. TO SUPPRESS INSURGENTS. Washington, Aug. 2-Instructions have been sent to the military and na val commanders in ihe Philippines to promptly suppress the insurgent forces under Aguinaldo should. there appear anything like rioting. These vigor ous orders are the result of iaforma received from Rome stating that the Papal authorities were in possession of advices from Manila in which it is learned that the insurgents under Aguinaldo have threatened to kill the bishop and clergy at Cavite. These murders, it is believed, would be the signal for a general massacre. Grave apprehension is felt by the authorities. The appeal for protection was a surprise to the government of ficials, but today they make no at" tempt to conceal their distrust of the insurgent leaders In the Philipines. OBTUSE SPANIARDS.

She is said to be a Spaniard and was convicted at the last term of Rockingham court, of breaking into a millinery store in Reidsville.

A VOICE FROfl HAVANA. Indignation Against the Government Miseries of Reconcentradoes. London, August 2 The Havana cor respondent of the Times in a letter dated July 5th, describes a condition of 'growing indignation." He says: "Though Havana is still quiet, ex traordinarily, ominously quiet, as a calm before a storm, there is an ever increasing feeling against the govern ment's deceit in hiding the truth and spreading false news, apparently with the intention of leaving the people to the mercy of their enemies. "Famine is slowly tightening its hands. The bulk of the population would already have starved but foi the supplies of mangoes, pineapples and bananas. The death rate is ex traordinarily high here, and still worse in other parts of the island. "In some settlements half the recon centradoes have died since war was declared." EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE, To Pass Laws to Retain Troops For Garrison Duty. MARCHING TOWARD SAN JUAN. After The Cabinet Meeting Today The Terms of Peace Were An nounced as Appears Below. By wire to Thi Telegram. Washington, August 2 Itis asserted that President McKinley will call an extra session of congress as soon as Spain accepts the terms of peace which have been offered. It has always been understood that the senate would be convened as soon as a treaty of peace is ready to be acted upon by that body. Now, it seems, the attention of the president has been called to a section which makes-the assemblage of the en tire congress necessary. Under the law which provides for raising a vol unteer army there is no provision for keeping the army intact when the war ceases. When the law was framed it was not supposed that this would be necessary. At that time it was not seen that garrisons would be required in the Philippines or in Porto Rico. That these islands will be American possessions as developments of the war makes it very evident that fnlly one hundred thousand men will con tinue to be needed. However, as mat ters now stand the volunteer army will- be disbanded and there will be only twenty-seven. -thousand troops available, and the aid of congress to frame and pass new laws to keep an adequate army for garrison purposes will be asked. THE TERMS OF PEACE. Washington, August 2 The terms of peace, as officially given out, made by the United States to Spain specify that Spain must evacuate and relin quish all claim to Cuba. The Island of Porto Rico must be evacuated and ceded to the United States and also all of her other West India Islands. One of the Ladrones Islands must be ceded to the United States. The city, bay and harbor of Manila will be held pending- the conclusion of the treaty and a decision as to the future of the Philippines. No indemnity is asked. MARCHING MERRILY ON. St. Thomas, August 2 The Ameri can troops have reached Coamo, which is sixteen miles Dortheast of Ponce, on the road to San Juan. No resistance was made. CABINET IN SESSION. Washington, August 2 The cabinet is now in regular session. It is ex pected that a statement of the terms of peace which have been made to Spain will be made public immediately after the meeting. IMMUNES FOR SANTIAGO. Macon, August 2 Col. Ray, com manding the Third Regiment of volun teer immunes, has received orders to pregare to move to Santiago. THE DIXIE'S DEFIANCE. Takes a Shot at El Moro In Passing San Juan. St. Thomas, D. W. I., Aug. 1 The United States auxiliary cruiser Dixie, formerly the El Sud, left Saturday for Ponce. She scouted along the north coast of Porto Rico, spoke the Prairie, Montgomery, Puritan, New Orleans and four transports, overhaul ed an English bark and passing in close to San Juan, fired a defiant six pounder,striking the base of El Morro. The Spaniards made no reply. In the entrance to San Juan harbor the Dixie saw two. ma?ts and a chimney, evidently of a steamer sunk by Span iards to block the passage. The Dixie arrived at Ponce Satur day evening, where she found the Columbia, the Massachusetts, the Cin cinnati, the Gloucester and ten trans ports. The armored cruiser New Orleans arrived here yesterday (Sunday) ac companied by a collier. 1 he New Or leans signalling her not to enter, as the cruiser would not be permitted to take her coal. Later in the day the collier pro ceeded westward Challenge For America's Cup. By "Wire to The Telegram.

Gad, Agt. f GOVERNOR JARYIS TALKS. He Says There Is a around Swell Toward Democracy. Governor Jarvis returned to Raleigh yesterday from Robeson county. He was greatly pleased with what he saw and heard in that county and section, and feels that there is a ground swell that will carry the party of the white man and the white metal to victory in Robeson and in the state. "I 6poke at Hornellsville," he said, "the township that held the democratic banner before the unfortuate divisions that came into the party in 1892. Then very many of the best democratic workers, thinking they could better their condition, went into the populist party. They now see that the party they helped to organize cannot bring good government to the people and that locally it has resulted in giving the republicans control of the county government in the east. These men, who had no desire to bring about such conditions are now resolved to leave no stone unturned to restore the rule of the white men of the state. They are back with us and they are zeal ously at work to persuade their popu list friends to conne back to the fold. "It is a fine section of the country" said Governor Jarvis. "The crops are good, the people are in good hu mor, the white folks are looking, for the best means to restore good gov ernment in the state, and there is a ground-swell in that section of the state toward the democratic party."
