Unless a Change is Made Regarding the Phil
ippines-A Sharp Diplomatic Move.

the peace terras offered by President McKinley, unless some
change is made regarding the
-J -e r ir
American government.
CLOSING IN
ON MANILA
Trouble Impending Between Americans
and Insurgents Aguinaldo Get
ting Insolent to the Yankees
Merritt Awaits the Arrival of the
Other Trausports.
New YoBK.Aug.l. Cable from Manila
July 29th says that serious trouble ie
impending betireeDjthe American troops
and the Insurgents nnder Aguinaldo.
The Americans are gradually closing in
on Manila and have replaced Aguinal
do'o forces in many of the trenches near
the enemy's line. Aguinaldo has eent
a note to General Anderson, in com
mand of the American troops, saying
that unless tbe Yankees withdrew from
the trenches, he would order his forces
to fire upon them.
The contempt of the Americans for
the motley horde of rebels, headed by
tbe bribe-taker, Aguinaldo, is becoming
more intense hourly, and no doubt the
Americans would welcome any excuse
for turning their guna npon the inso
lent Aguinaldo.
The Situation is regarded, as most
critical, ai:d Merritt, governor-general,
awaits with anxiety the arrival of 'the
other transports now en route for
Manila.
TWO DESPERATE
CROOKS CAPTURED
Both Have a Reputation in Chicago as
Professional Pickpockets Give
the Officers a Lively Chase.
San Fbancisco, Aug. 1. Jack Peck
ett or "Piggott," brother of the well-
known jockey, Joe Piggott, now riding
for Millionaire H. L. Frank at Butte,
Mont., is in jail here for picking pock
eta. Piggott and a young fellow named
Thomas Madcen, a crook well known in
Chicago, so the police here say, were ar
rested at the ferry last night while
operating on the boat, thickly crowded
with returning picnickers. The thieves
spotted the police just as the latter
spotted them, and after a lively chase
on shore, were captured in the Water
Front saloon. Both Piggott and Mad
den treated the arrest aa a hugh joko
and openly bragged they had a pull and
would soon be free. There seems to be
considerable ground for boasting, . as
both Piggott and Madden havebeen ar
rested a number of times lately for
petty crimes ; but no conviction has yet
been obtained.
THE FIGHT DE
CIDED A DRAW
After Twenty-five Rounds'of Hard Fight-
ing the Referee Decides the Honors
are Even. . -. .:
Kew York, August l.y-Solly Smith,
-of Los Angeles, and Tommy White, of
Chicago, went through twenty-five
rounds of the fastest kind of fighting at
the Coney Island Athletic Club tonight.
.VAt the end the referee decided that the
Philippine amendment, which
am dinlomatic move on the part of the
honors were even. Smith made an
aggressive battle throughout and ad'
ministered eome very heavy punishment
to bis clever antagonist, but tbe later was
able to stand off his rushes in tbe early
part and by husbanding bis strength
made a sufficient showing in the last
-four rounds to win the draw decision.
Smith took desperate chances in the
last round, going in hammer and tongs
fashion, bnt his work was wild, and
while be managed to land several effect
ive punches, at the conclusion of the
bout White had a badly damaged eye
and Smith had a nose much like a
blood-soaked Bponge.

AT MANILA
Cables From Merritt Say That tie in
surgents are Acting Lite Garcia's
Cnlians at Santiago ie Cuba.
SUMMER OF THE CITY
WILL SOON BE DEMAND!
Merritt Will Co-operate With Dewey
Twelve Thousand American Troop:
Have Reached Cavite Merritt'i
Advices Cause Concern at Wash
ington.
Washington, August 1. Gen. Merritt
has again cabled the war department as
to tbe situation at Manila which he
finds very unsatisfactory and dangerous
owing to the attitude of the insurgents
In the opinion of Merritt, the attitude
of the insurgents there is similar to that
assumed by Garcia's Cubans at Santi
ago. U pon the question of their right
to enter and possess themselves of the
city it is thought in this case the insur
gents are a very much more formidable
element, but not onlv more numerous
but better armed, and filled' with ar:
gance growing out ot their numerous
victories over tbeir Spanish foes. Mer
ritt, however, indicates that he will do
his utmost to protect the citizens from
the savagry of the insurgents, though
the task is a delicate and difficult one,
because of the fact that be . must, while
fighting the Spaniards, be ready at any
moment to repel th9 insurgents.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Dewey in a joint
demand lor the surrender of tbe city.
thus forestalling tbe insurgents, and
this movement may cauee a rupture.
It is possible, in view of the fact that
Merritt's cablegram was Bent from Cav
ite last Thursday, that this movement
has been made already by the combined
American militaryjind naval forces, al
though there is some doubt on this
point on account of a statement from
Merritt that he will receive all his sol
dlers before attacking. It is possible
the demand will be made without being
followed by . an attack, which may be
deferred until all the troops have
reached Cavite.-'
Up to the date of the report Merritt
had with him 12,000 soldiers. In all,
seven expeditions have left San . Fran
ciecs and it is the Intention to furnieh
Merritt with at least 8000 men more
than bis present force. If he delays his
attack nntil all these have reached him,
Manila will not be taken before Septem
ber, for the last troops have not yet
started from San Francisco.
Alger and Long are in conference with
tbe president over the serious situation
in the Philippines. They have import
ant dispatches from both Merritt and
Dewey. Alger admitted the significance
of these dispatches, but declined to state
their exact nature.
