THE PLANS OF
GERMANY;
Said To Be Supplying The
Insurgents With Arras.
The San Francisco Post on what it
claims to be excellent authority states
Germany is endeavoring to embitter
the followers of Aguinaldo against the
Americans, and she has officors ia
their ranks secretly drilling tbem.
This has been going on for years, .and
prior to the interference of the United
States in Philippines affairs, almost
every Gorman vessel that landed
there carried one or more officers in
disguised and stacks of arms and am
munition for the Insurgents,
The Post's informant has just re
ceived a letter from an authoritative
source in Hamburg ! giving details of
Germany's future in the island. Brie
fly, plan is as follows:- Germany will
send numerous trading vessels: to the
island, and will arm 150,000 Filioinos,
besides furnishiug Krupp guns and
artillery for field use. Tne islanders
will bo thoroughly drilled by German
officers, and by February, Aguinaldo
will be prepared to make an ooslauht
pon American forces. To aid this
plot, the letter say?, ; Germany ' is
trying to induce China to purchase
larje ouubar of big war vsjel9,
ostensibly to slranchea her navy, but
really to be held for transfer to Ger
many should complications arise. Tbe
German agents who havo made a re
port, to tneir government say it wil be
impossible for the United States to
land more than 50.0C0 men ia the Phil
ippines before Aguinalda is ready to
make his coup. The Garmia report
of the condition of the affairs says
America's only hope is to disarm the i
insurgents.
The Post attributes the recent or
dering of idilional troops to Manila, j
aftering rustei-ing out bud been or- j
dereJ m an indication that the United '
t
States ii::s been informed of Germany's 1
attempt to frustrate American
acquisition of the islands. !

Washington, Sept. 23. A' very
peremptory message of lcstrnction
has been sent to the Cuban , -military
commission, and is to be the basis of
a note to the 'Spanish commissioners.
The authorities in' Washington will
not make public the terms of the note,
but its general tenor is that tbe United
States will not be satisfied' with any
further delay in the evacuation of
Cuba. It is to tbe effect that the) terms'
of tbe protocol called for the immedi
ate evacuation of Cuba and that Span
ish sovereignty must be- relinquished.
The American commissioners have
been informed that the evacuation of

out Of the warr a much larger figure
than any in the administration." -. ,.
Philadelphia Times: General Miles
has said no more than he ought . and
much less than he -.might, have-: said.
To talk of calling .him to account, is
preposterous. It is he that has . called
