Situation I'm the Philippines.
The President and cabinet are said to be

what he has to say. The reception, how
ever, will be to him as an individual and
not in an official capacity. After talking
with Gen. Greene and with Agoncillo the
President will be able to answer the re-
quests made by the Philippine representa-
tive. 1t is already understood that any re-

The President will probably learn much
of interest to himself and to this govern
ment from his conference with Agoncillo.
Something will, no doubt be brought out
as to the promises alleged to have
been made Aguinaldo by Consul General
Wildman, Admiral Dewey and others. Ad-
miral Dewey has already cabled the Secre-
tary of the Navy that he entered into no
formal agreement with Agunaldo. As to
Consul General Wildman, any understand
ing he may have entered into with Aguin-
aldo was upon his own responsibility, as he
did not at any time receive instructions to
bind himself to any promise.
Politics in Ohio.
Representative Burton Of Ohio was a
caller at the White House today He said
that politics are warming up in the buck
eye state. Mr.. Burton is confident that the
republicans will win handily in the state
election. He thinks that the representation
in ha
same as in the present Congress, with the
possibility of the republicans gaining the
Dayton and Columbus districts. He thinks
that both parties will suffer a falling off in
the vote from the elections two years ago,
but the percentage of loss will be about
the same to each.
