ATTITUDE OF THE FILTPINOS.
NO SERIOUS TROUBLE EXPECTED. BUT
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE
ADMINISTRA ALTON

Washington. Nov 20. - The apprehension
manifested some time ago over the attitude OF
Aguinaldo and the Philippine insurgents mas
not entirely disappeared, although the ADMIN
istration believes they Will accept the situation
without any conflict with the United states.
The matter was discussed at the Cabinet meet
ing to-day and some Of the views expressed
indicated a possibility that the insurgents may
vet have 10 be dealt with. on the whole, how
ever, the President expects that serious troune
with Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at the same
time has guarded against an outbreak by tax
ing precautionary measures. The American
force already occupying part Of the Philippines
is regarded as adequate to cope with any emer-
gency that may arise. The future government
OF the islands came up incidentally at the cab
met meeting. and Secretary Aleer made some
suggestions as TO details OF a military govern
ment for the Islands.

Albany. Nov. 29.-George w Aldridge Super
intendent OF Public Works. had another talk
with Governor Black to-day about ex-Judge
Countrymans conclusions to the evidence
taken by the Canal Commission. Mr.. Aldrdge's
friends say that the result OF the conference was
not any more satisfactory to the Superintend
ent than others he has recently had with the
Governor.
Mr.. Black seems determined to suspend Mr
Aldridge. at least temporarily. from his post as
Superintendent Of Public Works. Whom he
would appoint head of the Department OF
Public Works II he should suspend Mr.. Adridge
is not yet known. even hinted.
The third section Of Article OF the Consti
tuition says that the Superintendent Of Public
Works may be suspended removed from Of
fee by the Governor whenever. In his judg-
ment the public interest shall so require" The
Constitution then goes on TO say that 'in case OF
the removal Of such Superintendent of Public
Works from office. the Governor shall file with
the Secretary OF State n statement Of the cause
OF such removal. and shall report such removal
and the cause thereof to the Legislature at its
next session" If Mr.. Adridge is suspended from
office. the public is likely TO learn at once from
the document filed with the Secretary of State
the cause of his suspension and the Legislature
ment as soon as It shall meet.
Governor Black was anxious TO see Attorney
General Hancock to-day. evidently about this
canal affair but Mr. Hancock did not arrive in
Albany from his home In Syracuse until after
the Governor had departed for his home in Troy
Early tomorrow morning the Governor and the
Attorney General will hold conference on the
terms Of ex-Judge Countrymans report. but not

execution OF the canal contracts. as II is under
stood that several days ago they had talk on
that question.
Mr.. Aldrdge's friends say that his integrity is
not questioned in the least in ex-Judge Country
mans report. They declare that he has been an
honest official What Is charged they say. Is
that he was not sufficiently careful In accepting
the statements of his subordinates and Of the
employees of the State Engineer respecting the
amount of work done by the contractors, and
that thus the State paid out a large amour. OF
money which not due to the contractors.
In reply Mr. Aldridge's friends say that he did
take great pains to protect the States interests,
and II he made any errors they would have been
made by any other State official with such
vast amount Of work in his charge. II some OF
his subordinates were dishonest he was not
morally or legally responsible for their actions.
The Governor will probably act on eX-Judge
