AguinaldO Loses Ground.

Washington, July 1S.-Advices which
the president received from Manila yes
terday and which have given so much
comfort and encouragement to members
of the cabinet. had bearing rather on the
political than military situation. although
there is naturally very direct connection
between the two al this time. The COM
mission, or at least so much of it as re-
mains al Manila since the departure of
Schurmann and Dewey, has been unre-
laXing in its effort to restore the conf
dence of natives and aid military opera
tions by inducing reflections among
Aguinaldo'S followers. Some progress
has been made. more. it is said, than the
public are acquainted with, for not only
have the United States authorities been
able to secure unqualified adhesion of ma
tiVes of more important islands outside
of Luzon in the Philippine group, but
even in that island they have steadily
encroached on what was regarded as
purely insurgent territory, and are ar
ranging for the establishment of full
civil government in some of the pro-
vinces of the islands wherein Aguinaldo
has heretofore been strongest. Because
this is to be accomplished by peaceful
means and with full assent of the inhab-
itants of thep rovince. the administra-
ton naturally felt it had cause for graft
f1cation.

the very serious charges in the general
stereotyped sentences to which such par
tiality has been shown in the past, there
Is no doubt that the general officers in the
field in Luzon will be called on directly
for brief reports of the condition of af-
fairs.
1t is fact that none of them have had
an opportunity to present any statement
regarding them since these accounts Of
the opening Of hostilities early last Feb
ruary, and that General Otis has permit
ted four months to pass without sending
a single mail report to the war depart
ment. preferring to confine himself to
brief and generally indefinite cable dis
patches.

What It Really Means.

New York, July 1S.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald quotes a
member of the cabinet as follows:
Either Major General Otis or the
newspaper correspondents must go. To
deport the correspondents would prob
ably be accepted at home and abroad as
return to the old Spanish method of
muzzling the press. To relieve Major
General Otis will mean an official ac-
acknowledgement of his fault and demoral-
ization of military discipline
The above statement was made when
the member of the cabinet was asked to
discuss the problem which confronts the
administration as a result of the publi-
cation Of the newspaper correspondents
round robin." protesting against the
course of General Otis in preventing the
real facts regarding the Philippine situ-
alton from becoming known.

ing on the American correspondents in
Manila against the censorship denounce
the American Philippine campaign as it
has been managed by Secretary Alger
and Major General Elwell S. Otis.
The st. James Gazette says: "The
great American people have been hood
winked by it's general and it's aImnis-
tration, who have kept up a series Of
suppressions of truth and suggestions

and thoroughness."
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-The cor
respondents have done their duty to the
public as journalists and gentlemen
should"
The Times, in it's leading editorial ar
ticle today, says: "Alger has run the
war office as a political machine. Mill
tary posts have been bestowed on politi-
cal friends without regard to fitness or
interests of the country. Dishonesty and
corruption have been rampant wherever
there was public money to be handled.
