I had learned that it.was possible’to buy the Hberty of any prisoner held by the rebels. ‘The prisoners, it should be understood, are not sold by Aguinaldo’s government. ‘At least they. are not sold at retail—although negotidtions are now pending between: the Filipino centrak leader and the Archbishop of Manila for the release :of-all the priests in prison in various parts of Luzon upon pay- ment 6f $100,000 in silver.’ The Govern- ment, 'it. will'.be observed, -deals -at wholesale. . The petty leaders at various points, having the prisoners-in charge, will sell you any o6ne of them, great or small, for the .stm of ‘$100 in silver, which amount,. of ‘course, goes. into the] pocket ‘of the small léader. As every leader has a faction of his own, Aguin- aldo’s peoplé do not .dare hold them to too strict accounting. The Belgian Consul here, M. Andre; who has acted all along as a go-between-in the deal- ings of the various parties -to trouble down here, who negotiated the deal by which Manila fel into the hands of the Americans after a merely nominal re- sistance, -and who has filled his difficult role. with a“rare degree of diplomatic skiil, told me frankly that if I would go to Bulacan -arid lay down $100 before Genéral Gregario Pilar, the comand- anfe there,. I could secure the release of “Pidre ¥Francisco Garcia without a particle * ¢f : trouble. I preferred, for reagons of ‘my. own, to test Aguinaldo, and T-went tp Malolos.

The rain was fall- ing In torrents, the road was éxecrable, and I was a good three - hours on the road. I stayed there until 5 p. m. and I saw 100 Spanish prisoners who were literaily starving to death, who were ill and | without drugs or medical attendance. The pass to see Padre Garcia and the fwenty-four captive priests, held in- comunicado {n. a dungeon unspeak- ably vile, came along by wire at a lit- tle ‘aftef 5 o'clock, giving me just time |.to: see the. prisoners for five minutes before, the departure of my train. The conclusion of the mind of the dictator upon my application for Garcia’s lib- erty did not come at all. Juan Paterno had settled that matter while I was talking to him at Malolos. On- the day following my visit there was a meefing of the secret Council of | Six -at° Malolos, and Aguinaldo himself | was “turned down” somewhat abrupt- | Iy. It seems that a promise had been given to the Archbishop of Manila some ‘tlme ago by the dictator himself that all the Spanish priests and ctvil prison- ers in the hands of the rebels would be set free. The secret council decided | that the prisoners, priests, women, chil- {:dren and made civilians,should be held. The Most Illustrious Senor ‘Don Emilio Aguinaldo meekly acquiesced in this | tuling. The Most Illustrious Senor Don probably argued that so long as his I"confidential advisers permit him to live | he does not care a great deal for what [happéns to the rest of mankind. I do | hat. believe, as a matter of fact, that |:-onee Paterno and the rest find out that |'the Americans have fathomed the little | game they are playing, they will hesi- taté a moment to cut Aguinaldo’s throat. ° A figurehead always loses its effect in statecraft once its true pur- pose becomes apparent to the world. The way in which sickness is increas- ing in the army is calculated to create grave uneasiness, once the facts be- come known at home. To begin with, we are not permitted to cable the true condition: The purpose of a press cen- sorship, sa far as I have been able to | observe, seems to be to prevent the peo- plé at home finding ‘out -too much. Whether this is good policy the events will probably show, but I do not be- lieve, myself, that anything is ever ‘gained by concealment. Besides, they do-not censor letters—and every man in every regiment here will write home, and write in a much more alarming way than the newspaper correspond- ents would in any event. Every Ameri- ean soldier here knows that sickness is increasing in the most alarming way. The California regiment, for instance, which was the healthiest on the ground up to the time the city fell, has over 150 men on the sick list now, and has been compelled to secure a hospital of its own because, in the first place, there was no more room in the division hospital, which answered all the needs of the Spanish garrison ‘before we came in, and because the ‘men sent to the division hospital did not and could not receive that care and at- tention to whichk Colonel Smith deemed his boys entitled. Take the case, for example, of young Horace Powers, the 1ad who died on Sunday last of small- pox. Powers was a member of the Third Battalion, which is quartered apart from the balance of the regiment. Dr. Farrell holds sick call for the Third Battallon boys every day, and when he discovered that young Powers was se- Tiously ill, and with smallpox, he or- dered him at once to the division hospi- tal. The man lay in his quarters for three days after that, because there was not room enough for him at the hospital, and was privately taken to the pesthouse, where he died. The pest- house, by the way, Is in charee of Dr. O'Brien, of the First California Regi- -ment. He lives there, apart from his friends, nobly doing the work of hu- manity.

CZAR’S PLANS BEING PUSHED | BRITISH WARSHIPS AT WEI- HAI-WEI READY. Now It Is Believed That the Rus- sians Are Preparing to Seize the Valuable Treaty Port of Niu Chang. Special Dispatch to The. Call, WEI-HAI-WEI, Nov. 2.—All the Brit- ish warships here, including the first- class battleship Centurion, the first- class cruiser Narcissus, the second- class cruiser Hermione, the torpedo- boat destroyer Whiting, the torpedo- bost destroyer Fame, the torpedo-boat destroyer Handy and the first-class gunboat Peacock, have cleared for ac- tion and are ready to go to sea at an hour’s notice. The first-class battleship Victorious and the first-class cruiser Undaunted, at Chefu, are coaling to their full capacity. The greatest secrecy is maintained as to the meaning of these warlike prepa- rations, but there is no doubt important instructions are expected at any mo- ment. A large Russian fleet Is assembled at Port Arthur., LONDON, Nov. 2.—The dispatch from ‘Wei-Hai-Wel announcing the war prep- arations there officials here describe as grave, coupled as it is with the Anglo- French war preparations at home. It is surmised that Russia, profiting by the present strained relations between Great Britain and France, has decided to push forward her claims in the far east by forcibly seizing the - valuable treaty port in Niu Chang, which Great Britain cannot permit, it is said. A dispatch from London to the Asso- ciated Press October 20 says a cable message had been received there from Shanghai as follows: “A Russian reg- iment occupied the town of Niu Chang (province of Leao Tong) and the forts at the mouth of the river Liaou on Oc- tober 15, thus securing complete posses- sion of Niu Chang. The native troops fled without making any opposition un- der orders from the Empress Dowager and Li Hung Chang. “A British gunboat was in the river at the time. Its non-resistance is re- garded as the virtual British abandon- ment of the whole of Manchuria to the Russians and gives Russia an invalu- able strategic point. Great Britain is certain to lose the Niu Chang trade, of which it has had 80 per cent.” BATTLESHIP RENOWN IN FIGHTING TRIM HALIFAX, N. 8, Nov. 2.—The Brit- ish battleship Renown is in full fight- ing trim and to-night the vessel tested her electric searchlights. This weel the Renown has taken aboard large quantities of ammunition and naval stores. SYDNEY, C. B. I, Nov. 2—The Brit- ish warships Cordelia and Pelican ar- rived to-day from Halifax. Their visit is regarded as extraordinary, as both were supposed to leave for home to go out of commission. The ships have submarine mines and heavy guns aboard, specially shipped at Halifax, and it is reported they will mine the entrance to Sydney and St. Johns, N. F., harbors.

FASHODA I3 NOT WORTH WARRING FOR Sentiment of the Press of Paris. FRANCE NOT READY TO FIGHT, HINTS OF EUROPEAN COALITION AGAINST ENGLAND. At the Same Time the Newspapers Point Out There Are Places in the British Empire That Are Weak. Speclal Dupnch to The Call. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1565, by James Gor- don Bennett. PARIS, NOV. 2.—Bverything indicates the warlike spirit prevailing across the channel. All the journals record the British naval preparations with pessi- mistic comments. Nobody here desires war. In the first place, Fashoda is not worth it. In the second place, France is not ready. will be England that insists upon it. The Temps to-night even advocates the avoidance of a struggle at any cost. “France,” it argues, “ought to consider her interests and those of civilization, both of which forbid an appeal to arms. She ought to preserve her dignity by imparting a new character to her rela- tions with the United Kingdom. Some victories, either diplomatic or other- wise, are dearly purchased. By abus- ing the monetary advantage, the risk is run of determining the general direc- tion of international politics in a sense quite opposite to the real interests of the country, which seems to triumph.” This means, presumably, that Eng- land {s in a strong position, but that if she pushes France too hard she risks bringing about a European coalition against her everywhere abroad. In andther part of the same journal, commenting on the news of the day on the Fashoda question, says: “As the English Government does not seem to be actuated by a concillatory spirit, it may be as well that France examine the question of recalling Marchand.” The Liberte attributes the recrudes- cence of the warlike attitude in Eng- land to the return of Mr. Chamberlain, who may have thought that as France accepts the principle of -evacuation of Fashoda that a few more threats would procure further concessions from her. “This is by no means certain,” argues the paper; “if Great Britain seems in- vulnerable, there are many points in her empire where she may be attacked. Her name is not exactly venerated in | Ireland, where a revolution might break out the moment war was de- clared, besides which it seems fairly certain that a strong Abyssinian force is rapidly drawing near Fashoda.” ——— AWAITING MARGHAND’S ARRIVAL' AT CAIRO LONDON, Nov. 2—A semi-official note, Issued this evening, relative to the reports of a settlement of the Fashoda question, says: “The matter Is substantially in the same position as when the blue book and yellow book were published. It is npt anticipated that France will take further .action until Major Marchand’s arrival at Cairo on Thursday, when explanations will. be forthcoming as to his reason for leaving Fashoda.” sl o NAVIGABLE WATERS MUST BE SECURED TO EGYPT LONDON, Nov. 2.—Right Hon. James Bryce, former Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, subsequently pres- ident of the Board of Trade and now Member of Parliament in the Liberal interest for Aberdeen, speaking there this evening, indorsed Lord Salisbury’s stand in the Fashoda controversy, de- claring that the military control of all the navigable waters in the Bahr-pl- Ghazal basin, as well as the Nile, must be secured to Egypt. Referring to the increasing cordiality between the United States and Great Britain Mr. Bryce said: “When last in the United States I was much struck with the change in public sentiment. The spontaneous out- burst of feeling in Great Britain when the European powers wished to inter- vene against the United States during the recent war with Spain made the Americans understand how close we felt the tie between themselves and our- selves. They have shown that they ap- preclate and reciprocate our sentiment. “I would never advocate a formal alllance. At all events the obstacles at present are serious, but all the con- ditions exist for a solld and durable friendship between America and Great Britain. They have no adverse inter- ests anywhere in the world, and they have common aims in sundry regions. Everywhere each can render a great service to the other. The Americans and the British understand each other better than they can understand any foreign country. Nature and history meant them to be friends, and the closer and deeper that friendship is the better it will be for the greatness and welfare of both.” Fire in Brooklyn.

People of America Favor an Honor- able Settlement With the Dons to a Resumption of the War. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Nov. 2. President McKinley and Cabinet members have no idea that Spain will refuse to consider the demand made by the American Commissioners on Monday and break off further nego- tiations. g The President believes that the Span- fards will make counter propositions. These will be considered. A close friend of the President says that it Is ex- pected by the administration Spain will willingly part with the Philippines for a monetary consideration. This sum will be a large one, and the whole ques- tion is therefore practically resolved into this: How much are the islands worth to us? If we cannot acquire them as we did Porto Rico, without paying, do we want them at all? 2 Members of the Cabinet recall the fact that we paid Mexico for territory which we had already won by conquest. “Even after we had planted our flag on the Capitol at the City of Mexico we did not care to annex any of her ter- ritory without compensating the repub- lic for it,” said one member, who added that, aside from all other opinions, he believed the people of the country now desired an end to the war. They were not in favor of returning to fighting and the maintenance of a large army if there could be an honorable settle- ment of the questions in dispute. To secure this settlement the Philippines would efther have to be abandoned to the Spaniards or they would have to be taken and a cash sum paid for such just debts as existed. He had no doubt the seizure of the islands simply be- cause this country was in a position to do so would result in the resumption of war. Such a struggle might not last long, but there would be greater cost involved than in paying what appea.red to be just to the defeated. - “The whole question,” he said, “is one of dollars and cents with the Spamards It is for us to determine how much we will pay. That is yet to be decided and will not be answe'red for some time.” TR BUFFALO TO CARRY MEN AND SUPPLIES NEW YORK, Nov. 2—The cruiser Buffalo will sail for Manila co-morrow by way of the Mediteranean and Suez Canal. Ther~ will be 700 men for Ad- miral Dewey's fleet on the Buffalo. They are intended to fill vacancies due to illness and other causés on the ves- sels of the Asictic station. A large amount of stores will also be sent on the Buffalo. She is expected to make the trip in about fifty days, traveling at a speed of ten knats an hour. Com- mander J. N. Hemphill is in command, Lieutenant S. W. B. Diehl, executive officer, and Lieutenant George W. Lo- gan, navigator. % PARIS PAPERS CRY : “BASE HYPOCRISY” PARIS, Nov. 2—The Soliel to-day, commenting editorially upon the posi- tion assumed by the American Peace Commissioners, says: “No monarchical sovernment would have dared to conduct itself - ter the fashion of the Americans, who are for- ever talking so much of right and lib- erty. The plan of the Americans is now evident. It is to take all of Spain’s colonies and leave Spain the debtl of all those colonies. This is the result of the ‘holy war’ undertaken to insure the independence of the Cubans. ADVERTISEMENTS. A NIGHT WITH THE UNION FORGES AND THE AMERICAN FLAG! MAGUIRE, HUTCHISON AND VICTORY!
