He Speaks of Attempting -Resistance of English Encroachment. . . LONDON. Aug. .-General Weyler. according to a special dispatch from Madrid, published her this afternoon, has outlined his future policy. He proposes. It appears, to be Independent of both the government and the apposition, "always aiming; to preserve the country and to reorganise the army." He expresses the belief that the Carllsts have plenty ot money, some of which he alleges comes from France. He says that the republic ans have no particular animus against the queen, their only object being to adopt a firm International stand,, "one result o which wjld be to check n a measure England's ambition." General Weyler's statement was mode to the committee of Wcylerites who had called upon him this morning at Pal ma Majorlca, The substance of General Wey ler's declaration to the delegation at the Weyler Club Is as follows:: : The general intends to advocate the sweeping poHcy of rehabilitation of the government. He will refuse to aid In any temporary measures and will propose military dictatorship for the organira ton of the army and navy. Their honor, he remarked, had been lost, as well as the Antilles, owing solely to military de ficiencies. General Weyler cxpresjed the belief that the present cabinet will be succeeded by a military dictatorship, or by the SUvvia ministry. He added that he did not desire a change In the form of government, but he pointed out that the carllsts have excellent organisation. Continuing, the former capuUn-general of Cuba urged Spain to abandon her at titude of International neutrality In order to be prepared to oppose Great Britain when the latter, desiring to enlarge her sphere of notion at Gfbralter, demands Sierra Carbonara, Meltlhi or other adja cent Spwnlsh possessions. The general deemed It better 'to lose the Philippine Islands, the importance of which he did not uppreclate, than the territory around Gtbralter. ANOTHER CHINESE REBELLION.

' a k t 't Disease Contracted in the Pesthole. ; n 1. 4 i v J ; -t ..a I 81 rebellion, which has been quiescent for some time, shows signs of serious recru .descence. The rebels are In greax force nfty miles northwest of Canton and are preparing to attack the city. Tan. the viceroy ot Vang Wwang. protested against the surrender of Kwang; Chow to the French and. when the foreign office insisted upon surrender. Tan telegraphed his resignation to Peking and handed his office over to the governor of Kwang Tung. The viceroy of Canton having failed to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion in Hainan and protect the American missionaries, the United States consul at Canton has made strong repre sentations to the acting viceroy, demand ing the prompt suppression of general -sturbunces. SALMON PACK IS SHORT. ! The -Shortage all Told Will Amount to About a Million Cases. SAN FRANCISCO. August 3u.-The Call tomorrow will say: Advices from the north confirm the large shortage of this year's pack of sal British Columbia. VjO.uOO. pack is as follows; mon. The nummary of reports on the 1S98 Alaska, mm. . Puget sound. J60.000 cases. -Sacramento river, spring pack. 25,000 cases. Columbia river, spring pack, 360,000 cases. Total. 1.SS0.0QO cases against 1 800.000 cases In 1S97. The fall pack In 1S97 on the Pacific coast was about JuO.OOO cases. It Is esti mated that the same will not be over SJ0. 000 cases this year, making a total short age of this year's pack over 1.000,000 cases. Most of the canners, expecting a very large pack, sold at futures at low prices, many of the districts being heavily over sold. The shortage of 600.000 case In Brit ish Columbia leaves large markets uncov ered. The largest Alaska canners did not sell futures and having packed within 10 per cent of the pack ot K'T. are In a com fortable position. The Puget sound has sold futures 'to the extent of lK.Ooo cases for export and 400. 000 for domestic markets. The export sales will 'be filled, having been made by canners who made a comparatively good pack, but not over 30 per cent Deliveries will be made on domestic sales. The Sac ramento spring and fall packs are sold, the Columbia river canners are at least lOO.ooO cases oversold. NI.- : HUNDRED DROWNED. three Sailing Vessels Carrying Spanish Troops Are Reported Lost. TACOMA. Wash., August SO.-The Hong Kong Dally Press Is authority for the statement that 900 Spanish, Including 16 priests, lost their lives several weeks ago when the Spanish gunboat Leyte was captured by a vessel belonging to Admiral Dewey's squadron. Tht Leyte has been stationed In an adjoining Island, where the Insurgents were numerous and aggressive. The lat ter were gaining ground rapidly causing two Spanish to board three sailing vessels In an endeavor to escape from the na tives who would massacre them.

I Arriving Daily NO. 41 innniniQ r i 1 ! .Hi.. i 1 After the Leyte had itowed them down I the Pampangas river and some instance along the const a heavy storm came up. making It necessary for the gunboat to cut her tows loose and proceed to Manila 'for assistance.
