The opposition to annexation is dy-
ing hard, but there il no doubt that 1t
is dying. 1t is doubtful whether it has
strength enough To keep up the fight
all this week. It is expected that q
vote will be taken in the Senate on the
annexation resolution this week. IL
the resolution be adopted by the mid
die OF the week, this will probably be
the last week of the session of Cor
grese, as there is little else in the way
of ad journment.
Nobody in Washington is disturbed
to any noticeable extent on account of
the story from Berlin that Germany
France and Russia had formed COM
bination for the purpose of opposing
either the United States or England
taking permanent possession OF the
Philippine Islands, after the war is
over.
NO ONE BELIEVES 1T.
In the first place, nobody believe
that such a combination has beer
formed, but even IL it were officially
known to be in existence. it would moi
influence this governments in the slight
esq degree. The final disposition o.
the PHILIPPINES will be settled by thii
government alone, when the proper
time comes, and it will be settled il
accordance with what we wish, anC
not what any European power or pow
ers may wish.
