MANILA QUIETING DOWN FAST.
LONDON JUNTA'S ADVICEs GIVE
bright ENCOURAGEMENT.

All Friction disappearing Between
Insurgents and Americans Ma
tives Have Great Confidence in -Ad-
miraI Dewey, While They Look on
Gems. Merritt and Anderson as
Observation-Disclosures Philippines
Are in Favor of the United states
Holding the Entire Archipelago.
Contemplated Asking Great Brit
ain to Intervene in bringing About
That End.
London, Aug. 2S-The Associated Press
learns that the Philippine junta in Lon
don received a dispatch from Manila yes
terday announcing that matters there are
rapidly quieting down and that the frtc-
ton between Gen. Aguinaldo and the
Americans is disappearing.
According to the junta's advices the in
surgents for a time regarded Gen. Mer-
ritt and Gen. Anderson as martinets and
feared they would adopt harsh methods,
like the Spaniards, toward the Philippines,
but the insurgents from the first have
had the greatest confidence in Admiral
Dewey whom they regarded as a sort
can a Manila.
The junta is satisfied that all friction
will soon disappear and that there will
be no trouble from the insurgents If the
Americans decide to retain the Philippines.
According to a wealthy Philippine now in
London the Philippines in Europe are all
well-to-do reople Hitherto they have held
oil
realize that their interest demand action
and they are about to form a committee
to open negotiations with the junta here.
They are all in favor of having the archi-
pelago retained by the United States. SO
strong is their conviction of the desirable
lily of this course that they had contem-
plated approaching the British foreign
Office to invite Great Britain to intervene,
and in any event to prevent the islands
being returned to the control of Spain.
They decided, however, to await American
action.

HENRY LABoUCHERE's VIEW.
Americas ChivaIry Created Admirn-
ton Throughout Europe.

London. Aug. 23.-Henry Labouchere, in
Truth, says that large standing army
would be necessary If the United States
was ready to embark on spirited foreign
policy of annexation.
This army" he declares, would soon
crush out democracy at home, and in the
end some popular general would feel it his
duty to save society by making himself
such a President as the constitution never
contemplated"
THE Old World" he continues, 'in it's
dealings with the new, assumed an atti-
tude of condescension as ridiculous as it is
unwarranted One of the salient features
of the late war was the manly, honest,
generous and chiValrous conduct of the
United States government forces and peo-
pie from the beginning to the end of the
campaign. 1t is only just to express the
general feeling of admiration which the
new chiValry has created throughout Eu-
rope"

eide. The question of returning any troops
can only be decided after the ratification
Of the report of the peace commission.

should be ordered to San Francisco as
soon as possible. Scandia has been fur
nished as a hospital ship. The Arizona
is the property of the government and
may be retained by you as long as need

ment tonight posted the following dis
patch from Gen. Wheeler:
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Aug. %.
-Adjutant General, Washington: I have
labored necessarily inspecting and organ
izing, and am glad to say that the com
mand is improving in health and spirits.
There has been but 20 deaths since the
camp was organized. The change in con-
ditions for the better in the last four days
has been marked. Am just sending a re-
port by mail. Have labored to get out a
regular tri-monthly report for the Goth,
which 1 hope to send tomorrow.
Donated supplies are arriving this
morning, which will give a change of diet
to the feeble who are with their regiments.
Everything made is inspected twice day
by officers who are directed to Immediately
correct Irregularities and sanitary defects.
Wheeler. Major General"
