OUR PHILIPPINE POLICY.
1
British Opinion Difi‘cr as to the Construc-
tion of Our Intentions.
London, Nov. 25.——The question of
the future tariff arrangements in the
Philippines attracts universal inter-
est, but opinions differ diametrically
as to the construction to be placed on
the intentions of the United States so
far as they have been indicated.
Mr. Herbert Aisquith, formerly home
secretary, in a speech at Sunderland
yesterday expressed pleasure at the
announcement of the United States
that the door would be open to her
new Asiatic possessions.
He hailed the declaration as a fur-
ther step on the road that the United
States and Great Britain had begun
to travel Itogethem It was, he said, :1
further safeguard for the partnership
of the two peoples.
This view was loudly applauded and
was accorded a place in the papers
ahead of Secretary of StateIHay’s
statement. 1
The Daily News, noting that opin-
ion is divided in the United States
itself on the question, adds:
“The enthusiasm for American ex-
pansion will ‘be considerably abated
if it means a proportionate extension
of the Dingley tariff.”
The Times, on the other hand,
“We have always been aware
says:
' that
1 .;_r IWere difficulties in the way of
_-1 .{doption by the United States of
pen door’ policy in the Philip-
1-' es ,as that policy is usually under-
@151 in Great Britain, but we never
dou ted for an instant the sincerity
of the United States government or its
ability to devise means of substanti-
ally securing the results aimed at. The
policy, as explained by Secretary of
State Hay, is for all international pur-
poses the policy of the 'epen door.’
Equality of treatment and the absence
of differential duties are the eSSence
of that policy which would be secured
by the arrangements described by Mr.
Hay just as truly as under a purely
free trade system.”
Berlin, Nov. 25.—Certain critics of
the Anglo—American relations eagerly
contend that the English hopes for an
“open door” in the Philippines are
destined to disappointment. .
They say that While the United
States will be cordially grateful to
England if the latter can keep the
open door on the east Asiatic conti-
nent, reciprocity in this regard is the
last thing the shrewd Americans con-
:template.

Home to Die Spaniards’ Fate.
Washington, D. 0., Nov. 25.—Advices
"from Spain are to the effect that the
several thousand Spanish soldiers who
have returned from their campaign in
the Philippines and Cuba, and landed
at Cadiz and Barcelona are in a most
pitiful condition after terrible voy-
ages, in which many of their number
died and were buried at sea.
The soldiers complain that their
quarters and the care of the sick have
been most deplorable and that there
has been absolutely no medicine for
the sick.
Those who have landed after having
been held in quarantine are for the
most part physical wrecks, and if
mustered out of the service will be—
come public charges or beggars upon
the streets.
As it is those who are still in the
Service have been suffering for the
want of food and clothing, to say noth-
ing of medicines.
In many instances the rations have
been cut down two-thirds, and ever.
then the food is almost unfit to eat.
Disease has gotten among them and
they are dying rapidly.
TVith thousands yet to return,
indications are that the conditions will
grow worse instead of better. The sol—
diers would be inclined to revolt and
create riot and trouble were it not f01
the fact that they are too weak from
want of proper nourishment.

~ BISHOP-TU RN ER’S'GLOOMY VIEW.
He Sees No Attactivc Futur for the Negro
. in This Country.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 25.—At the African
Methodist Episcopal conference, which
closed here yesterday, Bishop H. M.
Turner had this to say on the race
question:
“I see no 'manhood future for the
negro in this country, and the man
not able to discover that fact from ex—
isting conditions, must be void of
common sense.
“Our civil, political and social status
is degrading, and as degradation be-
gets degradation, the negro must go
from bad to worse, ad infinitum. Nei-
ther education nor wealth can ever
elevate us to the grade of respectabil-
ity. I say this because we are sur-'
rounded by so many influences that
militate against our manhood. The
best thing the negro can do is to call
a great national convention and ask
the United States congress for $100,-
000,,000 to meet the expense of‘ starting
a line of steamers between this coun-
try and Africa, thus pioneering a do-
main for our settlement.”
Bishop Turner is the best
negro churchman in the South.

Miss Gould Feeds Soldiers.
New York, Nov. 25.-—-Contrary to
her usual custom Miss Helen M. Gould
gave a Thanksgiving dinner yesteru
day to the soldiers sheltered at Wody
Crest. .
Woody Crest is an old-fashioned
mansion on the summit of a high hill
and for a number of years has been
used as a home for poor children,
whom Miss Gould picked out of the
slums of New York.
After the war with Spain ceased
Miss Gould turned Woody Crest into
a retreat for convalescent soldiers.
There are a score of sufferers from
the Cuban climate there now, and at
noon the:r were treated to a fine din-
ner, consisting of roast Iturkey, cran-
berries, potatoes, mince ple and other
luxuries of the season.
A Thanksgiving dinner was also
given by Miss Helen Gould to the two
hundred soldiers whose names appear
upon the books of the Soldiers' Com-
fort Association, at No. 316 East Fif-
teenth street.
To those who could not be accom-
modated and who applied for a meal
a Thanksgiving basket was given in-
stead.

giving at the White House yesterday.

key, furnished by H. Vose of Wester-
‘ly, R. ., was served with proper ac-
companiments.

breakfast with the president and Mrs.

tan M. E. church, which is attended

The Fake Fight.
New York, Nov. 25.—Perhaps the
most resounding echo of the Corbett-
Sharkey fight is the well grounded re-
port that the total receipts of the fias—
co, $46,355, were divided in thirds a111-
each share over $15, 000.
“The $20, 000 purse never existed, but
ing this fact a secret.
This leaves no room for doubt as to
the faky nature of the fight.

GEN. PARADO MAY SUGGBED
His Resignation Accepted and Gen. Par;
rado Named as His Successor- The Be-
tiring Captain-General. and His News:
paper Foster Dissension Among Cubans.
Madrid, Nov. 25.——The Official Ga—
zette has published a decree accepting
the resignation of General Blanco as
captain general of Cuba.
It is announced that General Parra-_
do, second in command under Captain
General Blanco, and president of the
Spanish evacuation commission in Cu-
ba, will succeed General Blanco in the
captain generalcy of the island.
Havana, Nov. 25.—It is an open se-
cret now that General Blanco will
leave for Spain in a few days. Dif-
ferent dates are given for his depart—
ure. The local press decided that the
date would be December 10, but the
press censor would not allow the pa—
pers to publish their guess. It is prob-
able that he will depart from Havana
before that date.
What is beyond doubt is, that after
many requests from General Blanco,
the Madrid government has accepted
his resignation in order that he may
leave the island before the sovereign—
ty of Spain is completely surrendered.
The question now is who will replace
him until the Americans take control,
and who will be the best man to keep
the country peaceful under such diffi—
cult circumstances.
It is learned that the place has been
offered by the Madrid government to
General Gonzales Parrado, president
of the Spanish evacuation commission,
but he has cabled the Madrid govern-
ment refusing to accept it owing to
private reasons. _
General Parrado‘s declination is due
to the fact that his son is held as a
prisoner by the Philippine insurgents
and he is eager to return to Europe in
order to try to effect his release.
General Parrado enjoys the confi-
dence and sympathy of the American
commissioners, who respect him both
as a. diplomat and a gentleman, and it
is possible that the .Madrid authorities
will therefore force him to accept the
post as a patriotic duty under the cir-
cumstances.
Should it so happen that General
Parrado is allowed to decline the post,
General Jimenez Castellanos will pro-
bably be appointed.
The American commissioners are
deeply interested in the appointment
of General Blanco's successor.
Though only a few days more re—
main for Spain to exercise sovereign-
ty in the island, it is important that
the man appointed shall be congenial
to the Americans in order that the
last details of the evacuation may be
satisfactorily arranged.
The Spanish commissioners have no-
tified the Americans that the Spanish
troops in the province of Pinar del
Rio will embark at Havana; those in
Matanzas at Matanzas ports, and
those in Las Villas or Santa Clara at
Cienfuegos. '
The note adds. that the evacuation
of Matanzas, Trinidad and Sancti.
Spiritus will be completed by Novem-
ber 30.
On December 1 the'Spanish troops
will concentrate at Cienfuegos.

commissioners. has left on the steamer
