MORE MEN NEEDED.
TASK AT MANILA TOO ARDUOUS
FOR A SMALL FORCE.
All the Troops at San Francisco VIII be
Dispatched as Soon Transports Can
be secured-May Have to Fight
the Insurgents.

Washington, Aug. 2.-General Mer-
fitt has again cabled to the war de-
partment as to the situation in Manila
which he finds very unsatisfactory and
dangerous, owing to the attitude of the
insurgents. In the opinion of Gen
eral Merritt, the attitude of the insur-
gents there is similar to that assumed
by Garcia's Cubans upon the question
of their right to enter and possess
themselves of the city, although in
this case the insurgents are a much
more formidable element, being not
only more numerous, but better armed,
and filed with the arrogance follow
ing numerous victories over their Span
ish foes General Merritt. however, in
iicates that he will do his utmost to
protect the citizens from the savagery
of the insurgents, though his task is a
delicate and difficult one, because of
the fact that he must while fighting
the Spaniards, be ready at any moment
to repel the insurgents.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
in a joint demand for the surrender of
the city to the United States forces,
thus forestalling the insurgents, and
this move may cause rupture.
1t is possible, in view of the fact that
General Merritt's cablegram was sent
from Cavite last Thursday, that this
movement has been made already by
the combined military and naval forces,
although there is some doubt on this
point, on account of statement from
Merritt that he will receive all his sol
diers before attacking. 1t is possi bic
the demand might be made without
being followed by an attack, w hich
may be deferred until all the troops
have reachep Cavite.
Up to the date of the report, General
Merritt had with him about IL, 900 sol
diers
In all, seven expeditions have left
San Francisco for the Philippines, and
it is the intention to furnish Merritt at
least 5000 men more than his present
force. If he delays his attack until all

A Mysterious Suicide.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 1.-The badly

Anticipate Trouble with Insurgents

Washington, Aug. 3.-The officials
here make no eoncealment of their ap-
prehensions of serious trouble to fol-
low the execution of our program in
regard to the Philippines. The reports
Of the military and naval commanders
Of late have contained warnings of ex-
pected conflicts with the insurgents
and no surprise will be felt at the re-
ceipt of news of an outbreak at almost
any moment.
The United States government feels
that it has assumed a moral obligation
towards not only the foreign residents
at Manila, but toward the unprotected
classes OF the Spanish community,
women, children. nuns and priests.
Therefore, when intimation came that
the insurgents were threatening the
lives of some helpless monks, orders
were sent to the American military
commander to look into the matter
and to act in the interest of civilization
and humanity.

official news reached the president in

While this government has strong rea-

General Merritt is contemplating his

A Bloodless Invasion.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Some reports
which have been received from Porto
Rico, but for political reasons cannot
be made public, has given great salts
faction to the officials of the war de-
partment, since they go to show that
the resistance which can be made by
the Spanish troops will be very little.
Miles will achieve an almost bloodless
victory. In fact, it has been suggested,
with some plausibility, that the Ma
drid government, realizing the inn
pendency of peace and the lack of loy-
atty towards the monarchy of the mass
of Porto Ricans, has allowed the Span
ish garrisons of the island to under
stand that they are not expected to
sacrifice their lives in useless resist
ance to superior force, SO that all that
Is to be expected is to be a rather for
NAL opposition to the progress of Cen

not be taken in that way before Sep
tember, for the last of the troops have
not yet started from San Francisco.
1t may be, however, that the arrange
ments as to the Philippines, which, it
is expected will be included in the
peace treaty, will obviate the necessity
for further action on the part of the
American commanders.

which in former days would have taxed

century ago n great army, n lengthy
siege and prolonged struggle would
have been required 10 have accomplished
the same object. Outside Of the courage
and skill Of his few men, Commander
Dewcys grea, victory represented mere
ly money.
Tho Asihtic squadron represented fully
sl5.0OooO0 IN its construction and equip
ment. The average cost Of every shot
fired by Il was no, less than slO0. The
Bnltimores guns alone iirod 1000 shell,
and the Olympia's 200. The ammunition
for there two vessels cost not less than
$4,000. II ~ eGtimnted TINT more than
100 tons Of ammunition was bred by our
iicet alone. The entire expense Of tho
battle would reach u stupendous figure,
not counting the lo.s OF the Spanish ,cs.

The press is having much TO sny at
present about the proposed plan OF the
Spaniards to send n fleet to the Philip
pine islands 10 destroy Admiral Dewey
fleet. There is certainly much reason
fur believing that such II plan on the
part OF the Spanish has no foundation in
fact. II this plan OF action had been de.
cided upon, that fact would not have
been published to the world, for, so far,
Spain has not followed tho policy Of
making public her plans of action and
the very fact that this proposed plan has
been SO indus,riously advertised is suffi
cient in itself to brand it as ~ scheme to,
II possible, divide ths United States iieet.
Spain has no ships in the Atlantic ocean
that could be spared for an attempt 10
carry out such plan ard even, IL she
could spare the ships, tho distance to
sail in reaching Manila is 80 great that
