kindly, gave him two modern field
pieces, 800 rides and plenty Of ammuni-
ton, Dewey has proved himself too
subtle diplomat to commit either
himself or the government to any wild
scheme. Fancy republic of some
100000 people, of whom one-half are
savages. and the rest, not more than
about $4,000 excepted. with such civil
ization as Spain chose to impart. OF
these 100000 not more than per
cent can read. The Spaniards and
Filipinos-that is. natives of the Phil
ippines OF Spanish parents-number.
perhaps. 100000. To establish a re-
publican form of government under
these conditions would mean to plunge
them at once into barbarIsm.
And yet this is what Aguinaldo is
fighting for and which may cause
clash of arms between him and the
United States forces. II they do come
together. however. the insurgent leader
will quickly learn that the methods OF
the United States troops are different
from the Spaniards and may soon find
himself with his arms tied before q
firing squad.
He has established himself in a fnc
house at Cavite, where, surrounded by
his officers. he conducts the campaign
against the Spaniards.
He has modern desk. backed by a
huge bevel-edged mirror. a couple of
large iron strong boxes for the dicta-
torial treasury, an abundance of easy
chairs, an old grand piano several feet
taller than the modern make. and a
large hat rack of fanciful design. Tho
only signs OF war are the ends of
sword chains that peeped through holes
In the Bingham coats OF the officers In
attendance. and n metallic standard
holder that leaned against the hat rack.
The court Of the dictator is not impress
sive. A chamberlain was identified as
a boatman, and there were other
touches Of opera bouffe. Aguinaldo's
present concern is the defeat of Angus
Il and he will not discuss the future OF
the islands. Aguinaldo seems to pos
sess real ability but none of his fol-
lowers shine in the estimate of the Am

that he compliment her with basket

Cook sent the fruit. which was appro.

Cook to accept Roser as his escort to

has rot completely proved his strength
and character.
That Gen. Merritt fully realizes
the situation in Manila is best told in
his own dispatches to the home gov
ernment, in the last of which he sug-
gested that his forces be increased to
$4,000. With this force he will be in
position to meet any emergency. In
the meantime the 1900 troops under
him are camped under the protection
OF Admiral Dewey's fleet. Until con-

probably make no move. But If at
