LONDON, Dec. 14.-With the excep.

Of work, there are no further advices

been considerably diminished, meat by
half a pound and bread by quarter of q
pound, in view of probable long siege.
Water, however, was still plentiful.
The immediate need Of tho war Office

first to shoot at the officers mount and

Washington just now is hive Of

Is one Of the leading centers Of political

seeing in one corner or another small

lively chairman and vice chairman Of

Of the hotel. The subjects which are
receiving the attention of these men
are, tirst, who shall be McKinley's run.
ming mate next year? Second, shall we
nominate our ticket by reclamation? In
the light of information that has been
gathered within the last three days
from contact with the leaders in poll.
Tics It may be stated almost without
qualification that tho Republican ma.
tional ticket next year
Will DO Mckinley and Root.
That the president will be renominated
there has been no doubt for a lone
time. AS to the nominee for vice pres.
ldent the sentiment in favor of Elihu
Root, the secretary of war, which be.
came apparent several weeks ago, has
assumed proportions which to men past
masters in the art Of politics practically
insures his being given second place on
the ticket.
III l were prophesying on the ticket
should say it would be Mckinley and
Root" said Henry G. Payne. "Al
though / am Western man I can see
no argument against tho second place
on the ticket going to an Eastern man.
That Mr.. Root is willing to 20 on tho
same ticket with Mckinley there is moi
the slightest doubt. It may be saio
that the secretary is ambitious to SO.

has aspirations of that character. 1t il

When Mr.. Platt was asked who he ia:
vored for the vice presidency he said:
''Any good New York man would
suit me-"
"How about Mr.. Root?" he wa
asked.
"Mr. Root would be satisfactory tc
me-"
Senator Hanna has conceived the idea
OF naming the ticket by reclamation
and is working for it. He has confided
his proposition to few of the leaders
and they are enthusiastic for it.
1T seems to NO." he said, ia contest
on the vice presidency should be
avoided chiefly for the reason that Mr..
Mckinley will be nominated for first
place without opposition, and under the
circumstances the choice for second
place should be attended by the same
want of friction or contest.

Problem of SURPRISING Filipino Bandits
Not Easy of Solution. =.
MANILA, Dec. 14.-Colonel Smith,
with detachment of the Seventeenth
infantry, surrounded and captured in a
village near Malasqui a party Of guerril
las who had made their headquarters
there. The party included the band
which assassinated seven officials at
Malasqui for friendiness to the Ameri-
cans. -.
All are insurgents who became ban
dts when disintegration of the Filipino
army began. They kept the country
around Malolos quite in a state of ter
ror for several weeks and committed rs
murders in less than that number of
days. When they were caught they
were promptly sent to General Mac.
Arthurs headquarters at Bayambans
by train. 1t is expected that they will
be speedily tried and shot or hanged as
an example, if convi cted.

line of troops around the city and the
closely patrolled stretches of railroad,

mel Bell and Colonel Hoods troops, who
are securing the country for them.
They devote their energies to ambush
ing commissary wagons and to picking
up soldiers who leave their commands.
Every day some wagon train is fred
upon or some soldier disappears. The
policy of these rufians is to make the
country uninhabitable for Americans
and to brighten natives into refraining
from giving assistance to- the Ameri-

problem of suppressing this guerrilla

think it worse than fighting Indians. i
