 MERRITT'S PATH
Grave Problem Confronts tbe Governor-Generul of the
 PhiIippine Islands.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-The press reports of the fierce fighting that has been going on in the Philippines, be- tween the insurgents and the Span iards. were read with the greatest in terest at the Navy Department, where the officials realize the very grave na- ture of the problem that confronts Ad- miral Dewey. The naval officers say the administrative difficulties with which Admiral Dewey must contend are indicative of what may be expected by Major General Merritt, when he reaches the Philippines.
 A complete understanding of the na- ture of the agreement that exists be- tween Admiral Dewey and Chief Agui- naldo seems to be lacking here, but from the fact that some of the press reports state the insurgent leader Is re- ceiving the surrender of Spanish troops and has proclaimed himself dictator pro tenpore, General Merritt's functions as Military Governor will be very linn fled

The result of this engagement was that fighting became general throughout the province of Ca- vite. After four days fighting over 2000 Spaniards were taken prisoners, including many officers and General Leopoido Pana, Governor of Cavite, who handed me his sword, revolver and golden belt and formal letter of sur render"
 An American naval captain writes as follows:
 Tn my opinion the rebels have un- dergone radical change since the ad vent of Aguinaldo. The Spaniards have lost all during the time he has been here, and if our people don't hurry there won't De any Spaniards left at the end of the fight The American SAiiPo AiO pdlI III the uRnC- ing Neither boats nor men have been landed, and reports to the contrary are false. Dispatches from Manila say that Aguinaldo is doing splendid work. On Monday Of last week he routed the Spaniards, taking 400 prisoners, among them twenty-eight officers. On the Wednesday following he took fifty prisoners and four field pieces in a bat tie at a point between Cavite and Ma nila. On Thursday, when this dis patch left Manila, he had cornered 1s0 Spaniards in an old church at Cavite and, not caring to lombard, he was starving them.
 ''He treats his prisoners well. Four towns are now in the possession of the rebels. It Is reported that the Gov ernor-General wanted to surrender. but his officers prevailed upon him to hold out. The captain of the province of Batanga has been taken by the insur- gents, and the Governor attempted to commit suicide. The Governor of Nal abar is also a prisoner. The insur- gents of the other provinces are ad- vancing on Manila"
 A proclamation issued by Aguinaldo. the insurgent chief, points to a desire to set up native administration in the Philippines under an American protec- torate. Aguinaldo, with an advisory council, would hold the dictatorship un- til the conquest of the islands, and then would establish republican assem- bly,.

 WITH THE FLEET OFF SANTT- AGO DE CUBA, June 8, via Kingston. Jamaica, June ITO appreciate the great danger of the Merrimac expe1i- tion, the character of the defenses of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba must be known. The entrance to the broad and deep harbor on which the city faces is by narrow channel about a mile long and each side guarded by a hill standing almost perpendicularly to a. height of 1S0 feet. At one point the neck of this approach Is less than 300 feet wide and only five and a half fath- oms deep, so that to enter ships must go in one at time.
 On hill on the eastern side of the harbor is Morro Castle with five 24 pounders, five 1S-pounders and two modern rapid fire guns. On the west ern hilltop are two batteries with mod ern guns At the base of rTorro Castle are several guns loaded with shrapnel designed to sweep the face of the water. and opposite Is similar battery Going around the first curve of the narrow en- trance, Cayo Smith, an island, is found facing down the harbor with battery of modern guns.
 In the narrow neck of the passage are three rows of mines. each row fifty feet apart, and the mines, sixteen in a row, each six feet apart. The Reina Mercedes lies in the shadow of Cayo Smith, partly dismantled. but having her four torpedo tubes loaded and fac ing down the channel. About half way up the channel. on the eastern bank, Is the Estrella battery, with several small smooth bore guns, and this was the menacing hole of death into which Lieutenant Hobson and his men ven- tured with the Merrimac.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The request Of
the First Colorado infantry to be re-
turned from Manila to the United States
cannot be granted by the war depart
ment. 1t was stated by officials Of the |
army that such requests had been |
frequent from soldiers of volunteer or
ganizations. who enlisted to fight but |
did not enlist for garrison duty. The |
desire of this regiment to return home
was simply the desire of other volun-
teers and nothing could be done. an Off
Ger said. until congress met and pro-
vided some kind of a force to take the
place of the volunteers. The subject OF
recognizing the army with view to
securing an adequate force for the new
possessions of the United States has al
ready received the serious consideration
of the president. the secretary OF war
| and officers of the army.
| President Will Make Recommendations.
The president will make recommends
tions to congress on this subject. en-
hodying his views and the views OF
those who are III position to give him
the very best advice. 1t Is probable
that he will recommend an increase OF
the army to something like 1Go. 900 men.
although this is not certain. and be may
think that $1,000 is enough. There has
been soale talk also of enlisting for gar
rison duty two companies or a battalion
of natives to each regiment doing gal'ri-
son duty in Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines. 1t is believed by this
method a considerable portion OF the
restless population of the islands and es-
pecially those who have been bearing
arms in the insurgent or Spanish armies
could be kept quiet and law-abiding.
1t is stated by officers OF the
army that the duties devolving upon
the troops under the new order OF things
cannot be satisfactory TO volunteers,
and that an army will have to be pro
yided which will 90 where it IS sent
, without complaints of any kind. Men
who enlist in the regular army hereafter
will understand that they are likely t
go out of the country and to garrison
distant lands for long periods. 1t Is be
lieved that the demands which hay,
