group of islands, or to permanently deprive
Spain of all her possessions in the Pacific.
1t is not believed that the administration
has gone beyond the determination to re-
tain the whole of the Island of Luzon, but
it is understood to be the intention of the
President to establish at the outset the
right of this government TO determine the
fate of the islands and to make the condi-
tions under which the government shall be
established there. The matter OF relinquish-
ing possession of the rest OF the islands is
involved with so many conditions to be con-
sidered that it is realized that it may by
force of circumstances become necessary to
deprive Spain permanently of all her pos
sessions in that quarter. 1t is understood
rot to be matter of policy to acquire all
this territory, but it may become a neces-
sity. The commercial and trade side of the
question. as involving the development and
expansion of our commerce in the Pacific
is occupying chief attention in connection
with determining cur policy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The peace COM
missioners will not be bound by any infiex-
ible instructions with regard to the Philip
pines beyond the claim for the Island of
LuZon. The President himself has no fixed
policy for the future of the islands, 1t may
be found necessary for the best interests
of this government and for our protection
against foreign entanglements to retain con-
troll of the entire group. The President be-
lieves that the United States will be much
better off without them, but he is not con-
vinced that way will be opened to give
them up. The proposition to permit Spain
to retain the islands (Luzon excepted on
condition that she give the people a more
humane form Of government and separate
the church and state is regarded by many
as visionary and impracticable. The sug-
gestion that Spain hold them on condition
that they revert to the United States if at
any time in the future she should decide
to give them up is also regarded by some
international lawyers as untenable. it being
held that if the sovereignty remains with
Spain she can dispose of them as she sees
fit by gift or SALE All the peace commits
sioners are here and will dine with the
President and his Cabinet tomorrow even
ing.
The withdrawal of the insurgent troops
from the suburbs of Manila in obedience to
the order of General Otis would be regarded
at the War Office as a victory for the Amer
leans but for the fact that the native army
is concentrating about the water supply to
the city of Manila. Aguinaldo will continue
to keep his knife at the throat of the COM
munity, and until dislodged from the ad-
vantageous position he is occupying in force
he will remain in a sense master of the
situation quite as much so from one point
of view as Dewey or Otis The fighting men
of the administration do not share the Pres
ident's optimistic view that everything is
lovely around about Manila.

Senator Hoar VIII Probably DecI

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-It is under
stood that the President has invited Sena-
tor Hoar, the senior senator from Massa-
ckIsetts, to accept the London mission to
succeed Mr.. Hay While definite re-
sponse has not yet been received, it is gath
cred that the senator will probably decline
on the ground that he would be more serv-
iceable to the country in his present posi-
tion, while the delicate health of Mrs. Hoar
renders a change of habit and climate un-
advisable at her time of life. 1t was rumored
that in the event of the acceptance of this
embassy by Senator Hoar, Secretary Long
would be candidate for the succession as
senator from Massachusetts,. There is rea-
son to believe that the secretary has made
no movement in that direction, but is en-
tirely content with his post

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14-Ths newspa-
pcrs reaching the State Department in the
official mails from the East show that the
almost universal expression in the public
press of Japan is in favor of the United
States holding permanently and governing
the Philippine islands. The position taken
is that this would be in the interest OF peace
and commerce and good government. The
editorials insist that this is the only issue
of the matter that will satisfy the highest
interests of the islands and the demands of
civilization. The papers declare that the
United States, in assuming the control of
the islands will receive the moral support,
if not the active cooperation of Japan and
Great Britain.
