Sept IS.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: Considerable anxiety it being displayed la diplomatic circle over ht I termed the Illiberal poller purtued by the United States la It treatment of foreigners In the Philippines. Allhouf h tt ha beea specifically stat 4 by the secretary of war that the statute of the United State cannot be, applied to the Philippine without action by congress. It 1 nevertheless a fact that Immigration laws of this country have been extended to the tfchlpelag-o. a shown by the action of General Otis in excluding Chinese laborer. I am also Informed that the rigorous Immigration regulations in force here are enforced In Manila and have cau ed some unofficial Inquiry to be put on foot by foreign governments. The customs tariff enforced In the Philip pines also ha been a source of consid erable discussion In diplomatic circles. Under the administration of Spain, Chinese were made welcome to the Philippines, though they were compel! ed to pay a tax, not because they were Chinamen, but In, order to raise reve nue for Spain. This tax was applied to all resident of the Islands. It has been hoped that in view of the prox lmlty of the Philippines to Asia and the president's favor of the open door in China. Mr. McKlnley would put aside his high tariff Ideas and further the open door for the Philippines. There Is every reason to believe that the president and his advisors have given very careful attention to the matter of immigration and customs In the Philippines, but no radical action Is contemplated at present When the Philippines, though they were corapell president will call upon it for Us view and recommendation In these matter and they will guide him In framing his message and recommendations to congress. axatn ready for terries).

The matter ha not yet been officially approved by the department, ubt It la possible the marine will be ordered, especially In view of the Intention of General Otis to let the navy have full swing tn the province of Cavite.

SUFFERING FROM A SETBACK Stagnation Prevails in Financial Circles. English " KEPAIRS TO PHWETS FLEET. All the Cruiser to be Overhauled at ... . an Expense of Millions. CV , . NEW YDRK. Sept 25. A special to the Herald from Washington says: It is alr.idy apparent to naval ex perts that the government will have to spend several million dollars In refitting for active service the vessels which comprised Admiral Dewey's fleet when It destroyed Spain's naval power In the Far East .- Secretary Long has approved the making of repairs to the cruiser Ra leigh which will cost 1300,000. The re port of the board of survey which In spected the crulsr Boston, lately re turned to the United States and now out of commission at . Mare island, hows another 1500,000 will have to be spent upon that vessel In order to put her In condition for rerommlsxloning. Reports received at the department re garding the condition of the cruiser Olympla show that she will have to be laid up for some time and naval experts estimate that before she Is again In service she will have cost the government not lees than 150,000 to repair. There are three vessels still on the Asiatic station which were under Dew ey's command when he fought the bat tle of Manila the Baltimore and the gunboats Concord and Petrel. The Baltimore was only placed In commis sion during the winter of l'Jts and will probably not come home until VM)l. The Concord and the Petrel are need ed for service in blocking the island of Luzon. They were both thoroughly overhauled In and upon completion were sent to the Asiatic station. Their cruise In the far East will cease next year, provided the situation In the Phil ippines Is such an to permit their re turn home, though by the time it may be decided lo rent them In the East and kep tliem permanently on the A.intic station. Th? repairs to the Boston will be thorough and when completed she will be a modern ship. The repairs con templated will cause her reconstruc tion, as In the case of her sister ship, the Atlanta.

THE REBEL GUN 0NSUBIGBAV LEFT BY THE SPANISH Most Important Point on Luzon Island and Will be Made a Naval Base. NEW YORK. Sept 25.-A special to the Herald from Washington say The 16 centimetre" Krupp gun destroyed in the insurgent trenches at Olangapo, In Sublg bay. is one of the gun sent to the place by the Spanish before the battle of Manila bay. A hort time before the beginning of the war Spain began the fortification oi suwg bay with the intention of making It a military and naval strong hold. Admiral Dewey, Indeed, thought he might find the Spanish fleet there Instead of at Manila and as a matter of fact, the Spanish admiral had gone to Subig bay on April 27, but finding that the mounting of the gun in the shore batteries had been delayed, he returned to Manila. The Insurgents took possession of the Spanish posts In the bay In July of ast year, bring assisted by the Ra leigh and the Concord, which were sent In by Admiral Dewey to prevent In terference by the German cruiser Irene, whose captain had prevented Agulnal- do's forces from taking Isla Granda, at the entrance to the bay. The 15-centime re Krupp gun corres ponds with the six-Inch gun used In the American navy. Its calibre in In- hes Is (.3 It weighs five and a half tons and fires a projectile weighing' 99 pound with a powder charge of 1 pourds. SuMg hay Is the most Important paint in the Island of Luxon In the neighbor hood of Manila. It is a short distance north of Manila bay and Its advan tages as a naval base are regarded as being superior to Cavite, In Manila bay, the harbor belrg safer and eas ier to defend. It Is expected that It will be held permanently by the navy, so as to afford a base of operations against the Insurgents In that neighborhood. The character of the country back f Subig bay, and the continuance of he rainy season, made It Impossi ble for Central Otis to co-operate' with the ships from the land side. BOTHERED BY AMERICA An Order of Gold From I s at Th s Time Would Cripple Their Business. NEW YORK. Sept .-The Times' London financial correspondent cables: We are suffering from an acute spasm of military dementia, a disease to which modern empire seem pecu liarly liable. The consequence Is that financial business of all kinds Is suf fering fr-xn a setback. Whereas, dur ing the even first months of the year new Joint stork undertakings were poured on the market tvery week In scores, no need at all appear of the slightest Importance. Probably their absence I but a slight misfortune, for they are mostly built like London houses, but stock exchange business Is Just a bad. Not since the month following the crisis of 1SJ0 has there been su. h stag nation aa now exists all over our mar ket. The public sltnnlv refuses to iWl and what the Jobber and bankers oc cupy their time with Is trying to shift each hit load on another's back. In the process prices dwindle and we are In danger of a crisis from Inanition un. less the cloud lifts soon. In short, un til this wretched wrangle with the Beers Is settled one way or the other, our public cannt even be pursuaded to buy Ameri?m railroad stocks. But, politics apart, the English stock exchange woulj not have much heart for buying at present. Money bothers us because It threatens to become dearer than we like. Europe does not frighten us much, because no great state there has the po.ver to abstract large amounts of our gold, but you do bother us most decidedly. We know that you are able to take whatever amount of gold you require, and should New Tork demand arise, colncl dtntally with shipments of sovereigns to the Cape and a stoppoge partial or complete, of the Rand's monthly sup ply, our mess would be Complete. As matters stanl, many bankers now rge an advance In the bank rate to four per cent forthwith, because the market rates are above the present minimum. In fact, some discount houses are now disposed to ask i per rent on three months paper and bank er prefer to lend their balances at U per cent for a eek rather than buy bill at 2 per cent, but the Bank of England was doing most of the busi ness. There Is nothing very terrible In all this, It may be said, and that Is true nough In one sense. Consider, how ever, the position of tur stock ex change.
