This is the explanation how, in such a remarkably short space of time, my Government has to-day acquired domination Over the whole of Luzon, the whole of the Visayas, and a part of Mindanao. If the North Americans have taken any part in these military operations which have” east no sinal| amount of blood and money, my Government does not fail to recognise that the destruction of the Spanish squadron and the handing over of some rifles from the arsenal to my people were influential some extent in the success of I was moreover convinced that the Atherican forces must sympathize with the revolution which they had assisted to forment and which saved them much bloodshed and hard work and, above all, I hid abolute con- fidence in the history and traditions of a nation which struggled for their independence and for the abolition of slavery and held itself up as the champion liberator of oppressed peoples under the safeguard of the good faith of a free people. The Americans, seeing the friendly disposition of the Philippine people disem barked their troops in the village of Paranaque and took up positions in the whole line occupied by my forces right up to Maytubig taking possession by their cleverness, not unaccompained by force, of a large quantity of trenches constructed by my people.

THE RECEND-POWDER-EXPLOSION,
Colonel Li, Commandant of the Chekiang provincialdefence forces, says the Sin Wan Pao, has petitioned the governor to authorize the rebuilding of the ganpowder magazine without loss of time. He suggested that there need be no change of site as the old cue was situated in a remote part of the city surrounded by earthern walls and two trenches. He added that the recent explosion had been caused by spontaneous combustion and if the guards take precaution in future, little danger would be apprehended. He also suggested several methods, both Western and Chinese, to be adopted for the prevention of accidents.

THE SITUATION IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Esmeralda brought newsto-day that three Military American Commissioners are now at tempting to arrange with representatives of the Filipino National Government tennis af auton omy for the Philippines coupled with a pro- tectorate by the United States, Uncle Sam retaining only a conling and naval station in the islands. This, we understand, is what the Filipinos have long been willing to grant and they have frequently appealed to the States through the Associated Press that Commis sioners be appointed to settle in a peaceful manner all questions at issue between the two nations.
The repon current in the City to-day, that there had been a "brush" in the suburbs of Manila; resulting in considerable bloodshed appears to have been a Manila Bunder," for we are unable to obtain confirmation of it,
