GENERAL OTIS uLrlMAruM.
Insurgents Must Withdraw From tbs
suburbs of Manila at Once.

Manila, Sept l9-After a careful
review of the situation, General Otis
has arrived at the logical conclusion
that the insurgents have no right to
occupy the suburbs of Manila, and that
Aug4naldo's claims have the support
Of neither equity nor reason. He has,
therefore. categorically refused to
consider Aguinaldo's demands, and has
sent him an ultimatun, In terms
plainly comprehensive and anthorita-
tive that he must withdraw his troops
from the suburbs Immediately or suffer
the consequences of refusal
The answer will probably he that
Aguinaldo himself is only too willing
to obey the order, but cannot explain
to his troops the reasons Why they
cannot remain at Manila. This tenn
porizing excuse, although now stale
from too frequent use, conceals much
truth. 1t is an undoubted fact that
Aguinaldo has but feeble hold on the
organization. His power is fast wan
ing, and the insurgents are threat
ened with disintegration into opposing
factions unless some leaders are soon
discovered who are able TO harmonize
the conflicting personal interests.

As yet the authorities have found nc

HoNORABLE PEACE.

There is peace talk in Spain. Some
of the Spaniards seem to want IAN
honorable peace" that Is, honorable for
them. And they base their IDEA of
peace on their notion of what has hap
pened since the war began. AS the
Rochester Democrat points out, the
Spanish people are aware that the
United States has gained a victory in
the Philippines and that a United
States fleet is now blockading Manila.
But they think the victory was in the
nature Of an accident, due largely to
surprise. Nor have they any idea of
the completeness of the victory. They
fancy that the blockade of Manila is
like their conception of the blockade of
Havana, that the American ships are
lying seven or eight miles off the har-
Dor mouth not daring to come within
range of the shore batteries. And they
are confident that the Americans will
soon be driven from Manila by Span
ish force. The reverse at Manila they
believe to be more than eounterbal-

anced by the numerous advantages
they have gained in the West Indies.
They have beaten us badly, in their
minds, at San Juan de Porto Rico, at
Mantanzas, at Mariel, at Cardenas, at
Santiago de Cuba, where they sank one
of our best cruisers, the Merrimac, and
drove back badly damaged the rest of
the fleet attempting to force the har-
Dor. They have whipped our navy
wherever it has ventured within reach
of their guns in the West Indies, and
they are confident that our raw, I'M
trained, half-starved, mutinous militia
will be swept away like chaff by the
attempt to invade Cuba. They are
aware, too, that the American people
are suffering severely from the effects
of the war, that fear of bombardment
has depopulated our seacoast cities,
that business is at a standstill, that
provisions are scarcer and dearer in
New York and Boston than in Havana,
that famine stalks through the land,
that the Indian tribes are threatening
our settlements, and that the Southern
provinces are in open rebellion. They
know that the American government is
beginning to realize the magnitude of
the task it has so flippantly under
| taken, is trembling before the storm
of unpopularity it has aroused, and is
eager to make peace on any decent
terms.
1t is quite clear that there can't be
any honorable peace" for us until the
Spaniards are so thoroughly whipped
that they will know it. Their talk
about the restoration of the status quo
ante bellum is absurd.

THE GREAT RATTLE.

There was a yellow extra and Wall
street battle yesterday in which 1900
of the United States forces, including
the captain of a warship, were killed.
The captain was, however, soon
brought to life, and there was 'no con-
firmation" of the report of the slaugh-
ter of the other 1.499 But it is evident
that there has been some fighting on
Cuba's southern shore, and there will
probably be more, for the Spaniards
will do their best to keep the United
States troops off the coast and the
United States troops will feel obliged
to get on to the coast.
A great battle has been Imminent"
so long that people have become tired
of watching for it, and are hewing
wood and drawing water just as if a
great battle were not Imminent" This
is well. When the great battle comes
we shall know all about it. Mean
while it Is sensible not to be so agi-
tated as to interfere with work and
sleep. The United States soldiers and
sailors are brave and competent and
they are attending to business. When
they get ready they will report.

SUBMARINE BOATS.

Mr.. Holland may not soon have a
chance to go to glory by the submarine
route, but it is evident that in time he
or somebody else will. 1t seems prob
able that naval warfare is again to be
"revolutionized." The Holland boat
has made successful trips under water.
It has rival in y submarine boat at
Washington. The rashington craft is
called the Argonaut, was invented by
Simon Lake, and has travelled two hun
bred miles or more, partly above and
partly below the surface. Mr.. Lake
says they can see further under water
at night than in the daytime, the cleo
trio light penetrating further, or, at
least, more usefully than the dispersed
natural light of the daytime. The limit
of distinct vision in the daytime has
been about twenty feet, but the expert
ments have been made in Chesapeake
Bay, and 1t Is thought that out at sea
bly, more. Mr.. Lake has no doubt that
he can cut wires in harbors or destroy
mines laid to protect any harbor in the
world.
Mr.. Hollands offer to kill himself
free of charge to the government or de-
stroy Cervera's ships struck many as
eminently fair, and they are sorry that
he didn't "have show" If his boat
appear to be able to do they will be
very useful if they are used.
