Washington, sept a-Fhe admins.
tration officials have had no recent
cause 10 feel that a critical condition
0 fNifatrs was near ut hand with tie
insurgent forces OF the Philippines.
Il viii be recalled that Mat.Geu. Nor.
ritz, before starting for Paris, advised
the insurgent leader, Aguinaldo, that
The authority Of the United States ia
and about Manila must be respected.
and that in the interest OF a quiet and
orderly administration of affairs it
WIS desirable for the insurgents 20 va
cate the suburbs OF the city within q
reasonable time
About that time Aguinaldo gave as.
surauees OF cooperating with the
American forces toward the main
tenauee OF order, and there has been
no reason 10 believe that his adbcrents
would give serious opposition to their
removal from the suburbs. The time
IN which the movement is to be accom-.
piished has not expired, according to
the understanding here, aud a siltisiac.
tory arrangement is expected before
the time arrives
In the meantime no reports have
come from Gen. Otis, 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 a dispatch from Gen. OEis say.
ing he had given A~gutnaldo until yes.
terday to eyaanAte the suburbs or elise
take the consequences. This is or.
%r0neous, however, as no such crisis has
been reported by Gen, Otis und The re.
ports appear TO have grown 0ut of the
original orders given by Gen Merritt
There Is no uHeasiness in official cir
cles ove our relations with the insur.
gents, as the American officers at Ma
Mia have thus lar shown an ability to
cope with the situation SO taebfully as
to avoid friction aud entangGouants.

necessity for 1t would be recognized by

qpisition OF territory obviously made
IL necessary that there should be a

said, that the arny should be organ

recognized by military authorities,
