DEWEY AND AGUINALDO.
The Two Appear. to Be Entirely
Harmonious.
the Philippines = Future Matter.
Events win Determine the Issue.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Rear Admiral
Dewey has officially expressed to the
navy department his opinion that the
insurgents of the Philippines are more
capable of self-government than are
the insurgents of Cuba.
So far as | have been able to learn,
he has not informed the department of
any change In the attitude of Gen.
Aguinaldo toward the American forces,
although Gen. Anderson said in a dis
patch to the war department that the
insurgent leader had declared himself
dictator and proclaimed martial law.
Rear Admiral Dewey's dispatches con-
corning Aguinaldo's behavior have gen
orally been of a complimentary char
acter, and that the two are are work.
ing together in harmony is best shown,
the officials contend, by the obedience
of the insurgent leader to Rear Admiral
Dewey's request to suspend operations
against Manila until the arrival of
American troops.
What shall be the final disposition of
the Philippines is a question which has
not even been settled by the admins
tration. From commercial bodies the
president has learned their anxiety for
the retention of the Philippines, but
from other sources objection is raised
to their acquisition. All the president
and the majority of his cabinet would
like to hold would be coaling stations
in the Philippines and Guam island in
the Ladrones.
What May and May Not BE.
With the natives quite as capable of
self-government as the Cubans, it may
be that the administration will de-
termine to maintain a force in the
islands of the far east until a stable
government is in operation in the
Philippines, and then withdraw, just as
it proposed to do in Cuba. That is one
of the many suggestions which have
been presented to the administration
for consideration, but it is purely a
matter of speculation to say whether
or not it will be adopted.
1t is appreciated by the authorities
that the abandonment of the Philip
pines will mean the seizure of the diff
ferent islands by European powers and
it is questionable whether the authori-
ties will be willing to abandon them.
When peace negotiations are entered
into the authorities say that the matter
will then be finally considered and dis
posed of, but in view of the possibilities
of the future which NAV cause a policy
different from that which might now
be formed, it is the intention no to an
nounce any definite plan until the war
is at an end.
understand that the monitor Monte
rey has instructions to proceed to zap
island, near the Peiew group, and there
hoist the American flag. The authori-
ties believe that within the next week
the monitor will touch at the point
named, and then proceed to Manila,
where she will arrive about August 5.

Only Malarial Fever

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July %, via King
ston, Jamaica, July 24.-The report
that there are thirty cases of yellow
fever in the cavalry division is un-
founded. Capt. Houze reports that the
report may be definitely denied. The
First, Third, Sixth and Ninth volun-
teers, the First and Tenth regular cav
airy regiments. and six companies OF
the Randolph Light Artillery are en-.
camped about two miles northwest OF
Ell Caney, at the base of the mountains.
Malarial fever is prevalent, but it al
ways yields to quinine treatment in the
coarse of four or five days.

The battle of Santiago demonstrat-
ed the value of balloon service for de-
term;ning the enemy's position in an
assault. The balloon used at Santiago
was connected by wire with the COM
manding officers of our troops who
were thus supplied with important in
formation concerning the location of
the enemy. 1t is reported that this
information was of the highest value
in preventing our soldiers from fall
ing into Spanish ambuscades. This
highly successful use of the balloon
for military purposes is another signal
achievement of our army.

Miles May Have Landed.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-It was said
at the war department late in the day
that no news can be expected from any
source as to Gen. Miles movements I'M
til tomorrow. 1t is calculated that he
arrived this evening or tonight at the
point on the coast of Porto Rico Sc
lected as the rendezvous for all the YES
seis of the expedition. Whether or not
he will undertake to make landing in

petition probably will depend entirely

THE HAVANA CAMPAIGN.
Authorities Already Perfecting Plans for
It-An Army of 10000 to Assault
Bianco In His Stronghold.

Bianco In His stronghold.
WASHINGTON, July a4-"Gen. Shat
ter, with his Fifth corps, will take the
field against Havana in the fall. Until
, then they will rest in the United States.
As soon as the Spanish prisoners are
well out of the way Gen. Shafter, with
the whole Fifth corps, will be ordered
back to the United States, perhaps to
Montauk Point, Long Island, or some
such suitable place, where they will
rest and recuperate, so as to be ready
for the campaign in the fall against
Havana"
This statement was made to me by
one of the trusted counselors of the
president. The statement was further
made that not one of the regiments now
in Santiago would be sent to Porto
Rico; that it was thought by the ad-
ministration that in all of them there
was some danger of fever infection.
But Gen. Shafter will remain until the
Spanish prisoners are disposed of ac-
cording to the present plans of the
government.
Many northerlyy camp sites are being
now considered by the government, Sea
Grit, N. j., among them. 1t may be
necessary to bring more of the Southern
troops north, but they will not be
brought unless it is necessary.
The Fifth corps of hardened veterans
is also to be put into shape for the Ha-
vaua campaign; the Porto Rican army
also will be hardened to field and fire,
and together with the Fifth corps,
which will then join it, about $4,000
seasoned men will move upon Havana.
This is now the plan of the administra-
ton. These $4,000 men will form the
nucleus about which 100, 900 more vol
unteers now in this country will be
formed. BY the fall these volunteers,
it is expected, will be in prime condi-
ton, both as to equipment, arms and
uniforms.
Havana Campaign Deliberate.
If the Porto Rican campaign is to be
deliberate one, the campaign against
Havana is to be a more deliberate one.
In order to relieve the regiments of the
fl1tn army corps as SOON dS PoSSiole
after the Spanish prisoners have been
placed on the transports, Gen. Coppin-
ger has been ordered to send three reg
iments from the Fourth corps, at Tam
pa, to Santiago at once. The regiments
designated are the Fifth Maryland,
First Florida and Second Georgia.
These regiments with the immune reg
iments already ordered thither, will be
sufficient to hold Santiago and the sur
rendered territory, and they may ope-
rate against Holguin and Manzanillo.
1t is likely that an attempt will be made
to occupy both of these towns if health
conditions favor, and Senior Quesada
SAYS the insurgents will be active dur
ing the summer. blazing the way for
the great coming campaign.
Gen. Miles will be commander-in-chief
of the Havana campaign, and will start
in with two trained major-generals in
Gems. Shafter and Brooke. Lee will
follow with another division, and Ora
ham, with Camp Alger troops and 1000
men left in Chickamauga, will help to
make up Il grand total of $50, 900 men.
