A RECENT roHTIUlT OF VICToniA.
Emperor William and Emperor Nicholas aro very much disturbed as to the
ultimate destiny of the Philippines, and
vention is extremely probable.
A majority of tho commentators
States will make somo deal resulting
in the islands becoming Hritisli
possessions.
There is reason to believe that
there is considerable activity in the
German Foreign office in consequence
of threatened German interests in
tho Philippines, which Iuih taken the
form of attempts to induce England
to join in the protests.
Until quite lately ' tho press in
Perlin and elsewhere could find no
adjective too virulent to apply to tho
methods of tho people of tho United
States, and no sneers were bitter
enough, when talking of a possible
Anglo-Amorican alliance. Now, ow
ing doubtless to official hints, the tone has altered from that of abuse
to one of disinterested advice, because, forsooth, it has been brought
home to these cities that out of thirty-throe great trading houses in
Manila some fourteen are German.
Somo Paris newspapers are already enlarging on what they call "Le
Peril Yankee." Political writers in other capitals lengthily discuss the
subject.

New York, May 5. A special from

bombarded. Not only did the Marble

on the afternoon of April 29, but shell

of the Inhabitants to the Interior.
The shooting at the forts was at

members of tho family are opposed to such
action.
