Washington. D.. c.. September 10
The following dispatch was received to-
day from General Otis.
Manila, September is, 1898.
.Adjutant General Army, Washington,
d. c..
"In my opinion, based upon present
Indications. no further force IS required.
The. insurgent leaders in politics and the
army are in an excitable frame of mind.
but the better portion are amenable to
reason and desire to make an approved
reputation before the civilized world.
THE insurgents have acceded to our de-
mand and evacuated the entire city of
Manila. except n small rorce In one out
living district. No concessions have been
made to them. They express strong de-
sire to maintain friendly intercourse
with the United States Government in
all particulars. They organized a CON
grcss on Thursday at Malaolos. twenty
miles north of the city. to frame Il plan
of government. Manila Is very quiet.
The military government * beng per-
fected gradually and a large force IS
policing and cleansing the city. Inc
health of the command is satisfactory.
Trade and are active. Treas
urv receipts since August 18th, Sof0.OOO
Mexican current money. Inc Inlifp-
pincs monthly expenses will aggregate
at least three hundred and fifty thousand
dollars: nearly one-half required to sub
sist thirteen thousand Spanish prisoners.
Believe that receipts will largely ex-
ceed expenditures. Tariffs and duties
imposed. as directed by President on
July 18th. but received in currency of
country as on gold basis would almost
double the former Spanish duties. Uni
ted States laws applied for; admission
of Chinese and opium, sales of license
for lotteries and other pastime opposed
by public morals, discontinued.

which she expressed herself with being
pleased with the prospect of returning
to Vienna in a few days to witness the

numerous messages of sympathy he Las

EACH WILL GET ONE SHIP.
The Three Bidders for The Battle
ships.
Commanding.

IAil'''
Washington. y. c.. September 12.-The
Navy Department has arrived at what
it regards as Il fair and satisfactory set
Element of the question of awarding the
contracts for the construction of the
three proposed battleships. When the
bids were opened. it was found that for
the fast ships desired the Newport News
Company was the lowest bidder. Cramp
next and the Union Iron Works. just
above. and all within the limit of cost
fixed by Congress. 1t was the original
plan to award the contracts in that or
der. But upon examination of the plans
submitted by the bidders it was found
that the only thoroughly satisfactory one
was that submitted by Cramps. who had
simply taken the alternate plans sug-
gested by the Navy Department. which
amounted to lengthening the hull of the
ships from u to % feet in order to
gain room for the more powerful en-
gines to drive the ship at Il speed of
IS II knot instead of 16 knots as first
proposed. After considering the subject
i'm all aspects the board OF naval bureau
chiefs has hit upon a solution Of the
question. They have invited the Newport
News Company and the Union Iron
Works Company to amend their plans SO
as to make their ships identical with
that proposed by Cramps. Mr.. Scott
of the California Company. has agreed
to do this and the representative of the
Newport News Company has verbally
agreed to do the same. so it is the under
standing that each Of the companies viii
be given Il contract for one ship.

More Noise, Please.

In talking over the minute factors
that have made profit or loss to manu-
facturers, some curious details We're
given me by experts.
For instance, n clock manufacturer,
of Birmingham, found that a certain
rival was doing a large t"ade in cheap
clocks sent out to the wilds of Africa.
He got hold of n sample clock, and.
finding that there was a heavy profit
In the enterprise, invested a large sum
OF money in making a still better clock.
thousands of which were shipped to the
same market. Strange TO say, sales
were very slow. while his rival. turning
out a cheaper and far less u
timepeace, was selling all he could
make. Finally the explanation came.
Savages like noise. The clocks made
by the original exporter had a particu-
larly loud and aggressive tick; his imi
tator made a better clock, but it was
almost noiseless. and the savages
would have none of H.. The remedy
was simple. The next shipment Of
clocks to the Guinea coast licked more
loudly than anything previously heard
there. and all went well.-PearsoR's
Weekly.
