sewen win Not Go to War.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Sewall
of New Jersey, who was nominated to be a
major general in the volunteer army, has
decline the honor. This action presumably
is due to the belief of the senator that in
would be compelled to resign his position
in the United States Senate. AS Senator
Sewell was appointed from civil life the ex-
pectation is that the vacancy will be filled
in a similar way. The senator had also
been assigned to the command of the troops
to be concentrated at Washington, and his
retirement will necesstate a new selection
for that command

GENERAL MERRITT'S STORY.
He Was Under No Obligations to the Phil
ippine Leader, and Never Met the


Washington, Sept. 30.-The report of
Major General Merritt, of the operations
about Manila, was made public today.
After giving briefly the story of his en-
barkation, arrival at Manila and dispo-
sition of troops there he says:
General Aguinaldo did not visit me
nor offer his services as subordinate
military leader, and as my Instructions
from the president fully contemplated
the occupation of the islands by the
American land forces did not consider
1t wise to hold any direct communica-
tion with the insurgent leader until 1
should be in possession of the City Of
f>anila; especially as I would not until
then be in position to issue any proc
lamation and enforce my authority, in
event his pretensions should clash with
my designs. When the troops of my
command carried the Spanish intrench-
ments, extending from the sea to the
Pasig road on the extreme Spanish right
we were under no obligations, by any
pre-arranged plans Of mutual attack,
to turn to the right and clear the front
still held against rae insurgents but
were able to move forward at once and
occupy the city and suburbs"
