The Press Cuts And Covers For The

Trusts.
The vehement defense of the trusts
in last weeks Press is just what all the
republican organs, little and big, Will
have to come to before the close of the
next national campaign. As presently
constituted, the republican party has
the support of every trust influence in
the land. Without the money contribu-
lions of confederated wealth, that party
could not hope to win national elec-
ton, and whether it likes to or not the
republican press will have to cut and
cover for the trusts.

statement
Manila, April 17.-Major General Law
ton at Paete has authorized corre-
spondent to make this statement:
1.-The present prospect is that 100000
troops will be necessary to pacify the
Philippine islands"
General Lawton's expedition has been
ordered to Manila and will return there
Immediately. All the territory he capt
ured will be evacuated and all the
launches seized will be restored to their
original owners-that is to say. they
Will be given back to the persons from
whom Aguinaldo's soldiers took them.
After giving the opinion that 100000
men will be required to subdue these
islands General Lawton explained the
situation to the correspondent as
follows: THE difficulties in the way
are those of fighting guerrillas in a
tropical country.
With my brigade I could force my
way from one end of the islands to the
other If did not have to hold the ter
ritory I traversed. But leaving gar
rison behind would soon eat up the
whole force"
General Lawton regretted exceedingly
being compelled to evacuate the ter
ritory he had captured.

General Otis has not communicated
his plans to the department, the matter
being left entirely to his discretion. The
insurgent leader has established his
Headquarters at San Fernando, to the
northwest of Malolos, and 1 suppose
General Otis contemplates a movement
against that city. General Lawton only
had 1900 men under his command, and
1t was of course impossible for him to
divide his force by stationing detach-
