Hong Kong says that a large nur iber of the wealthy and in
fluential citizens of the Philippir es have called upon Consul
Wildman during the past week a id questioned him concern
ing the report that the United St ites intended to relinquish
the islands to Spain. The callers have appealed to Consul
Wildman to use every influence jlossible to persuade the ad
ministration not to surrender the islands to power that has
misgoverned and oppressed them for three centuries. They
have also sent telegrams to the most influential members of
congress ; also to the president and members of the cabinet,
setting forth the wealth and resources of the islands and
asking the United States to annex them.

victed and Executed.

Victoria, Aug. 3. On the steamer
Marines, which arrived here today were
260 passengers from Klondike, bringing
among them three-quarters of a million

hardly enough duBt to pay their way
nome. They tell, most 'discouraging
tales of the conditions prevailing in
Klondike. Work is difficult to get, and
mm are leaving Dawson by hundreds

SPAIN WILL ACCEPT
AMERICAN TERMS
A Modification of the Terms of Peace
will not be Asked Philippines
Mar not be Given up as Readily as
was Expected.
Washington, Aug. 3. A meeting of
the cabinet was held late tonight at
which the question of peace was dis
cussed at length. It has been learned
that the president and his advisers had
received direct information from Cam
bon that Spain would aek no modifica-1
tion of the terms of peace. The Amer
ican minister at London wired that the
government at Madrid, according to
diplomatic advices received in London,
was pleased at the generosity of the
Americans and hoped only to retain a
part of the Philippines.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear on the administration to never
lower the flag from where it now floats
over tte former Spanish possessions in
the far East.
THE DEATH ROLL
CONTINUES LARGE
Over Forty Deaths Daily Reported in
Shafter's Army Sanitary Condi-
tions of Santiago Reported Bad.
Santiago, Aug. 3. There are over
forty deaths daily among the troops of
General Shatter's army, mostly from
yellow fever. Governor Wood is doing
everything in bla power to improve the
sanitary conditions of the city but finds
the task a very difficult one. For cen
turies under Spanish rule no attention
has been paid to sanitation and the site
of the city is reeking with eewerage and
other forms of filth.
Business in Santiago is rapidly picking
up and there is little or no evidence of
any hostile feeling towards the Amer
icans. SPANIARDS HAVE
ENOUGH FIGHTING
Blanco and Forty of His Generals Are
the Only Ones Who Desire to
Fight Longer Even Volunteers
Have Lost Spirit.
New York, Aug. 3. A Journal letter
from Havana says all the fight has been
taken out of the Spaniards by the news
of the annihilation of Gervera's fleet,
and at the time of writing they were
cowed and clamoring for peace. Even
the volunteers were for peace, and there
was general groveling to the Cubans.
Blanco and forty generals are the only
ones who want to fight.

Eugene, Or., Aug." 3. About 10

fire to 1200 bushels of wheat one mile
from this city, belonging to Attorney
Scarbrough. The wheat was stacked in
the field and was to be threshed today.
Two men were eeen to leave the burning
stacks.
Ugh!
