WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The navy de-

from Admiral Dewey summarizing the
existing conditions at Manila and such
points in the Philippines as have been
visited by his officers. Advices also
have been received from General Otis,
the commandment of the United States
military forces in the islands, and they
both go to show notable improvement
in conditions and the growth of better
spirit among those factions Of the ma

This fact is particularly gratifying. as
the United States government is already

them up on proper representations from
General Otis and Admiral Dewey. It
may be necessary to call the navy into
service i'll this matter for the reason
that the prisoners are held in captivity
on other islands than Luzon, which can
be reached best and most effectively by
Admiral Dewey'S ships.

WATTERSON FOR EXPANSION

New YORK, Dec. 1O.-The Patria club

night and entertained and listened to
Colonel Henry WattersoD Of Louisville,
the speaker of the evening. Colonel
Watterson spoke on "Our Country; Its
Dangers and Its Hopes, Past, Present

favor of the policy of national expan.

II am not disposed, he said, Ito agree
with the optimistic young American
who believes that the United States is
bounded on the north by the Aurora
Borealis. on the south by the Equator,
on the east by the Rising Sun and on
the west by Eternity, but still I think
somewhat that way.
"As for expansion, think that what
England has done with safety America
may attempt. If Dewey had only sailed
away-but he didn't-and where he
nailed the Stars and Stripes there they
must stay. We must either go forward
or backward, and we cannot go back.
