BRYAN TO SPEAK IN OHIO.
Chairman Seward Says His Dates Are
October 10, 20 and 21.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
COLUMBUS, Ohio. October 6.-"The re-
ports that VIM j. Bryan has abandoned
his intention of coming into Ohio to make
speeches in the campaign is absolutely
false said Chairman Jas. p. Seward of
the democratic state committee today. Mr.
Bryan will be in the state to speak, as al
ready announced, and his dates are Octo-
ber f9 % and 21.''
The report that Bryans Ohio dates have
been cancelled seem to be based only upon
the conclusion that John r. McLean's fall
urc to mention Bryan in his opening speech
at Hamilton could only mean a break be-
tween the two men. Friends of both of
them here claim that MIR. Bryan, as well
as Mr.. Mclean, realize that whatever may
be the truth about the coinage question il
is not an issue that will strengthen the
partyS position just now. In several
speeches in his own state Mr.. Bryan only
referred to the money question when ques-
tions from the audience compelled him to
do SO.

the sailing of the steamer Aorangi to this
port. The victim of the display of savagery
was native of Hawaii named Amaru. who

About six months ago Amaru married a
native woman of Aoba, in the New Hebri-
des group, and on passing that island later
on decided to visit his wfe's tribe Accord
ingly the couple were put off in a boat A
few weeks ago. when the steamer called

into the hands of savage tribe of natives,
who, after torturing him, tore him to pieces
and then roasted him with two sheep. The
matter has been reported to a British man.

These amount to $73,O45, 1873, which is an
increase over the appropriations for the
current year of So, ,537, ,1S7. 1t should be

nance are decreased about 100000.

Establishment of Authority.

When this government occupies the sea-
ports and the important towns near the
coast it will be felt that the authority of
the government over the islands can be re-
garded as established, though rebel bands
may still roam through the interior and bid
defiance from a distance. In this work the
navy is expected to be effective, the au-
thority of government being easily main
tanned in every place that can be put under
the guns OF our war vessels. This once ac-
complshed it is believed that the example
OF kindly intention and the experience of
good government will speedily win the con-
fidence and loyalty Of the natives, and that
the good report of the beneficence of the
new government will spread abroad and in
cline those who are suffering the prvations
of the insurrection to accept the new and
better order of things.
This does not signify the abandonment
of the forNa march of the army, but
means the firm fixing of government au-
thority as it advances. 1t is intended to
make the seaports our and then to close
in upon the insurgents as rapidly as con-
ditions admit, clearing up the rebellion and
holding everything taken as the army ad-
vances, until the insurgents are crowded
into the narrowest possible limits and peace
and good government is established wher
ever The American flag is planted

SEEING THE SEAPORTS
New Policy to Be Inaugurated in tht
Philippines.
American Authority to BE Maintained
Where Established-CuttinE OF
Insurgent Supplies.

The sending of additional war vessels to
the Philippines means the prosecution of
a definite policy in the subjugation of the
islands.
Experience has made it apparent that an
immense army would have to be maintained
and that il would take long time to scour
If the islands We're swept across by our
army like a prairie fire the insurrection
might spring up again behind the devastat-
ing column, as it has in all the operations
in the past. To put down the rebellion in
all parts of the islands and establish a
perfect peace would be. it is believed the
work of a long period of time. The com
plete Subjugation is expected to be accom-
plished, therefore, by slower approaches,
each advance being made permanent.
BY the cooperation of the increased naval
force it is proposed to establish and main
tain the authority of the United States in
the seaport cities and towns, and then to
gradually advance into the interior, estab-
fishing the government authority at various
important points as il can be maintained.
The great difficulty in the past has been
that towns being captured have afterward
been abandoned and reoccupied by the in
Surgents, so that the advance of American
authority has not been commensurate with
the brilliancy of the operations of our mill
tary forces. 1t is anticipated that WIZ,
the cooperation of the navy the authority
of the government can be established in
the Seaports, the source of supplies be cut
off from the Insurgents, good and liberal
civil government given the people within
the spheres of occupation and the conf
dence of the natives under our immediate
influence secured, while the insurgents will
be crowded back to the interior and finally
driven into the wilderness, as it were and
reduced to the condition of the North
American Indian tribes if not compelled to
