The National tribune., 1898-09-01

popular with the people of the country.
Each member will support whatever policy
the Administration formulates regarding
} the Philippines, but it is expected that the
! President will solicit their views before he
submits his policy to the Commission.
1t is understood that Commissioners
. Davis, FRYE and Reid are earnest Ex-
pansionists, while Day and White are
much more conservative. They will all
study the subject thoroughly, and as there
will be a strong development of popular
opinion on the subject of the Philippines
by the time the Commss sion meets, 1t can
come to very firm conclusions
There was an ugly riot at Cavite, in
which George Hudson, OF the Utah Bat
tery. was killed and Corpl VIM. Anderson
wounded The Filpinos were driven off
by the 18th u. S. Cav, with loss of four
killed and several wounded Aguinaldo ex-
pressed great regret over the ALTAR, arrested
number of the leaders, and only desisted
from infiicting severe punishment at the
intercession of Gen. Anderson.
The correspondent OF the London
Times says: THE military government
is working efficiently in all departments.
Local business IS being actively resumed,
the waterworkS are in operation and The
Pasig River is open.
~ Stringent measures have been taken
90 insure the sanitation of the citadel,
which is crowed with prisoners: The
abominabIy filthy condition of the Spanish
barracks is a menace to the general
health, which at present, however, is ex-
cellent Among the American troops there
have been only IL deaths from ILLNESS
since landing.
Twenty-three thousand stands of arms, |
10000 600 cartridges and an immense |
quantity of large ammunition have been |
surrendered with nearly $4,000 prisoners.
Six hundred priests, inc uding 40 |
prisoners among the insurgents, will de- |
part for Hong Kong in charge of the |
Belgian Consul as soon as the transport |
can be procured.
There is undoubtedly practical unan- |
unity among merchants irrespective OF |
nationality in favor of the permanent oc-
cupation of the archipelago by the Ameri- |
cans. Nobody conceiVeS the re-eStabllSh- |
ment of Spanish sovereignty possible"
