(I opv right. HDS by the Associated l'rcs )
London, June 9 Whatever may be
the policy of the United States toward
the Philippine Islands, the English
capitalists whose Investments there
give them the right to speak with au
thoilty upon the conditions nnd needs
of the colony, are of one mind Dele
gations of London men lepiesentlng
some of the most Impoitaut Inteiests
in the Philippines, bave i ailed upon
Ambassador Hay to urge him to make
representations to his government of
the English capitalists' deslie that the
United States retain pcimanent pos
session of the islands. Thev ngice In
the belief that with the suur.mtee of
a stable go eminent the Philippines
would beco .ie a richer and even moie
lesiinble possession than Cuba, and
saj that Spanish lule dlsiouiages busi
ness ente piles and lepels capital, and
that mux of the legitimate pmllts of
their business is absoibed bj illicit
nnd ludiiect bribes to Spanish officials
AVithout liberal Investments to secure
the favor of the iiillng class no bus
' ness opeiatlons can be conducted
under the leglme of Spain.
The position of the Philippine capl
tnllts Is one which pi events- them fiom
making a public decimation of their
views Should the Islands remain under
Spanish sovcielgnty that government
might matte conditions buidensome for
business men who weie on iccord as
desiring a change nnd who had made
revelations about Spanish misrule.
They can make known theli deslies
onlj thiough seciet diplomatic chan

EXTORTION IJY OFFICIALS.
The president of an Impoitant Phil
ippine comnanv, having Its principal
office In London, who piesented a state
ment to the ambassador, discussed the
question with a icpresentutlve of the
Associated Press, but only on condition
that his name be withhold. He gave
the usual recital of extoitlon bj the
ofllrlals who go from Spain to the
islands as they ge to Cuba with the
solo purpose of acquiring as much
money as possible In the shoi test time.
He ridiculed the suggestion that the
Philippine Insui gents could be induced
by the Spaniards to form an alliance
against the United States The na
tives, he- declared, would welcome any
power which would relieve them from
the domination of Spain. He did not.
however, teem to place much confi
dence In the good faith of the revolu
tionists, nnd Incidentally remarked that
he had knowledge that moie than ono
native Insurrection had been Inspired
and promoted by the Spunlsh ollloials
themselves for thp Incrensed revenues
which would come to them thiough
the Importation of tioops Into the
Islands to suppress the rebellion. Under
proper treatment the Islanders, al
though consisting of several different
races, would be entlicly ttnctnble. The
greatest illfTleultleH tho United Stated
would encounter In managing them
would come from the tellglous orders,
which had been accustomed to squeeze
dodging the blockadcm nt Havana,
they will be lemoved fiom the scene of
action In shoit notice, as It Is under
stood that Sampson has been made ac
quainted with the situation and will
le expected to ledeem his pomise to
provide safe conduct to the army when
called upon. He has ample foice to
conduct the operations nt Santiago de
Cuba and still spaie vcwsels of any
power desiiable for use In the Flor
ida straits
It was jointed out today by a naval
otllcer that the admiral, since the ar
llval of the marine battalion on the
Panther has at Ills disposal what he
may regard as a sufficient force of
men to eaptuie Santiago, even If the
troops fall to arrive. The 800 marlncH
on the Panther added to the mailnes
already with the fleet would make a
total of about 1,500 men without Im
paliiug the ellicienej of his ships. Ad
miral Sampson could spare 1,000 blue
Jackets for a lauding party, and with
a total force of 2,500 men, if the In
sui gents, who have been aimed by
the United States government, do their
share. It seems possible for Sampson
to eaptuie Santiago on short notice.
Theie seems to be a very decided air
of expectation this afternoon among
the officials who nie acquainted with
the governments plans that will war
lant a conclusion that an engagement
of some kind was expected toduy.

much valuable pioperty. The present
lnsiiirectloii was as much an uprising
against the chinch as against the gov

seciet society which had been organ
ized to oppose the priests, a son of
freemasonry which had spread through
out the Islands.
AN INSTANCE.
As an instance of Spanish colonial
government he said there was but one
road outside of Manila in the Island.
The entire absence of public works of
all sorts was a gieat check to business
entei prise Careful investigations hy
the most efficient englneeis bud proved
that the sold deposits of the Philip
pines weie among the i Ichest In the
woild, and under conditions favoi.ible
to the development he was sure that
the Islands would suipas.s Austialla
and South Africa ns a gold country.
In conclusion, he asseited that the
American government need not be de
teired by fear of the climate from In
vading the Philippines with unseasoned
troops Duiingn residence of ten ycats
he had known of but one epidemic of
disease, and that was not of a serious

Hnrt. concludes ns follows-
Hart has now been In prison three
months. He wns subjected to most
able and vigorous pioseetitlon at tho
hands of the department of Justice,
entulllng upon him much expense and
distress of mind. He hns been severe
ly punished by tho term of Imprison
ment already suffered. Many citizens
are sympathetically lnteiested in his
release A paper signed by seventv
slx senators of tho United States ask
for his pardon. I think It has been
made manifest by this time that the
neutrality laws of the United States
will bo vlgoiously and sevetely en
forced by the government nnd that the
punishment already undei gone by Cap
tain Hart Is adequate under the cir
cumstances to serve as a warning and
an c.xnmple- and that no haim can conn

release. His offence Is not to be te

His paidon at this time will Imply
meiely that he has, undei the peculiar
