Manila, April 29.-Three volunteer
Americana, Lieutenant-Colonel Wallace,
of the Montana regiment, and Biigade
Surgeons Adama and Shields, who were
held hy the insurgents at Santa Talos,
' eight miles beyond Calumpit, as hosta
ges for the safe return of the insurgent
peace envoyB, have been released from
General Luna's headquarters and have
returned to Manila. They say that the
Tfihal armv is demoralized and disinte-
- "grate"3-8nd ,,lat few preparations have
been made to resist the Americans.
Luna and the other leaders are discour
aged and admit that they are beaten.
Luna cannot say enough for the prowees
of Funston and the other Americans in
crossing the Eio Grande. It is clear that
this most brilliant coup d'force was the
thing which brought the rebels up
short.
The refusal of Otis and Dewey to ac
cept anything short of unconditional
surrender is commended in Manila by
- the best element and by all foreigners. ,
Caustic Comment on the Anglo-
Russian Agreement.
London. Mav 3. Pending detailed
information the London papers com
ment approvingly, but cautiously, upon
the news of the Aoglo-Russian agree
ment regarding spheres of influence in
China.
The Daily Chronicle points out that
this aureement will produce eimilar ar
rangements with Germany and France,
resulting In the partition of China,
which Lord Charles Beresfoid predicts
will bring about war.
"America." says the Daily Chronicle,
"will apparently be left out in the cold,
and she realy deserves no sympathy, for
if her statesmen had been willing to
ioin us at an earlier stage in keeping
China open to the world the present sit
uation would never have arisen.'

New York May 3. A special to the
Herald from Washington says : ireas
nrv rr..int.8 for Anril fell 815.4)0,000 be
low those for March, while the expend
itures were $22,800,000 more than tnose
for the month previous.
This great difference does not, how
ever, indicate either a large falling off
in the ordinary receipts or a large in
crease in the ordinary expenditures.
The receipts for March were incieaed
by the payment to the government oi
nfiRrlv 12.000.000. on account of Pacific
railway settlement, while the expend
itures for April were increased Dy me
drawing of the warrants for the payment
of $20,000,000 to Spain.
Leaving out of account these two
items, the receipts for March were only
about $3,000,000 larger than those for
April, and the expenditures for the lat
ter month were less thau $3,000,000
greater than those for March. Notwith
standing that the interest payments for
April were $5 300 000, against only
108 for March.
For Aoril the receipts were $41,611,
587, and the expenditures, including the
navment to Spain, were S0o,S04,wu,
showing a deficit for the month of $24,
242,421. The receipts from customs
were H17.645.945: from internal reveuue
$22,207,099, and from miscellaneous
scources $1,785,241.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date
amounts to $109,300,288; but the proba
bilities are that the deficit for the entire
year will not be in excess of the estimate
of $112,000,000, m ide by Secretary Gage
in his annual report. Expenditures on
account of the war department have not
... . 3
decreased as rapidly as had Deen nopeu
on account of the hostilities in the Phil
ippines, but the recent favorable reports
from General Otis have led the treasury
officials to believe that by July 1 prac
tically all of the volunteers will have
been mustered out of service, the heavy
expenditures for transportation and suD-
sistence of troops will have been materi
ally reduced , and the army expenses
generally brought down more nearly to
a normal basis.
If these expectations are realized, it
is thought that the treasury can run:
about even from the beginning of the
new fiscal year, and that the estimated
deficit of $30,000,000 for that year will
not develops. The secreta-y ' estimates
for that year are based on on expected
revenue of $610,958,112, and an estima
ted expenditure of $641,006,490.

the organization of a native etnte and
will struggle to control its policy and Its

euiiBiitntion of native sovereignty for
Auie'ican military control will of course
in-pire unrest and suspicion in the
