His complexion Ls a clear bronze, bis hazel eyes are brUht. his hearing ls brisk and rather Jaunty. Some deep tines are voder bis eyes and around his mouth, but his Voice is singularly clear and nteaa. ant. The admiral's whole presence ls more that of a man In his fullest pow er, ills naoner is gentle and kind, but be la exceedingly wary and did not permit himself to winder off Into politics, or to express those positive views he no doubt holds about the Philippines . and I American . affairs there. His attention was brought to interviews la - which he ls described as going rather fully into the affairs of the FiHptnos and their capacity for self-government "I cannot stand for any Interview riving my opinions on political satv Ject and the Philippines.- I disown any view ascribed to roe on those subjects.- - . .

The weather looked a little squally and It seemed better to be Inside the Hook than outside. But , the - consideration that ; really decided us to come r Into port was to give Captain Lamberton a chance to -clean up ship .before our voyage up the harbor.

CONDITIONS IN LUZON. Manila, P. I., Sept. 27. The Ameri can authorities have declined the re quest of General Jaramlllo. the Span ish officer, who Is settling Spain's mil itary affairs In the Philippine Islands, to send a vessel under the Spanish flag to collect the Spanish prisoners at the insurgent ports, a stipulated by the Filipinos, on the ground that the port are closed, and that such a step, therefore, mill be unlawful.' and because they declined to accept Fili pino dictation. The authorities are ready to send an American veseL The Spanish commlasion, therefore, will return- to the insurgent lines and en deavor to establish an arrangement for the delivery of the prisoners on board an American vessel. lAgulnaldo ha Issued a statement, aaylng that the warlike activity of the American ha prevented the concentration of the prisoners, a intended, but that they will be delivered up. The Tagato of the island of Min danao have expressed their readiness to accept American sovereignty in exchange for protection against the. harraselng Moros. A native officer ha offered 'Major-' General Otis-L00O Macoabe.be tribes men to fight the TagaU of the Lagu aa de Bay districts. The troops -engaged in the fighting at Cebu, belonged to the Nineteenth infantry. Sixth Infantry, the Twenty third Infantry and the Sixth artillery. The Insurgent are trying to Incite the natives of Malabon. a city of 80, 009 Inhabitants, five cnlles from Mani la, to rise against the American garri son. Captain Allen ha been holding the place with two companies of the Sixteenth infantry, but on account of need of all available men at the front, his force ha been reduced to seventy men. They now remain near a big church, . where they are quartered, toe ing too few in number to attempt . to patrol the town. Armed and uniform ed parties of Insurgents recently dis embarked during the night, collected money for the Insurrection and preach ed revolt. Two mayors have been elected, but both of them have declin ed to serve. 'Malabon has been made a shipping point whence provision and other stuff Is brought from ManUa by trains, and shipped Into the hostile territory. The Insurgents seem to be trying to make, by their , good treatment of American prisoners, a card toy which to gain outside sympathy. Two Eng lishmen, who have arrived here from Tarlac, report that the Americans are treated more like guet than lng to repeat hi treachery of a form er insurrection, when he went over to the Srmnlards, and they may expel him, Aguinaldo ha issued a decree invit ing Filipino deserter to return with in a month, In which cae they will be pardoned.
