Their Arms Into the Harbor OF San
Juan de Porto Rico.

Washington, Sept. 9.-No official in

AFFAIRS In THE PHILIPPINES,
No Uneasincss Felt In Washington, Where
1t ID Thought Our Omcers Are Equal
to All Emergencies.


to All Emergencies.
Washington, Sept, 9.-The admins
tration officials have had no recent
cause to feel that critical condition
of affairs was near at hand with the
insurgent forces of the Philippines
It will be recalled that Maj Gen. Mer.
ritt, before starting for Paris, advised
the insurgent leader, Aguinaldo, that
the authority of the United States in
and about Manila must be respected,
and that in the interest of quiet and
orderly administration of affairs it
was desirable for the insurgents to va
cate the suburbs of the city within a
reasonable time.
About that time Aguinaldo gave as
surances of cooperating with the
American forces toward the main
tenance OF order, and there has been
no reason to believe that his adherents
would give serious opposition to their
removal from the suburbs. The time
In which the movement is to be accom-
plished has not expired, according to
the understanding liere, and a satisfac-
tory arrangement is expected before
the time arrives.
In the meantime no reports have
come from Gen. Oils, who is acting
governor pending the absence of Gen.
Merritt, as to friction with Aguinaldo
over his retirement. Reports have
been circulated that the president re.
ceived dispatch from Gen. Otis say.
ing he had given Aguinaldo until yes.
terday to evacuate the suburbs or else
take the consequences. This is err
roneous. however, as no such crisis has
been reported by Gen. Otis, and the re-
ports appear to have grown out of the
original orders given by Gen Merritt.
There is no uneasiness in official cir
cles over our relations with the insur-
gents, as the American officers at Ma
Mia have thus far shown an ability to |
cope with the situation so tactfully as
to avoid friction and entanglements.
