dsnarture from the Golden Gate to plant
the flag of temperance in lands beyond
the sea. In her address she referred TO
the opium traffic protected by England
and the liquor traffic in America as twin
evils. She gave figures showing the APP

Endeavorers and Christian papers men
should be starving. She made an earnest

York for four days visit in and about
Boston, and his stay here seems to be
destined to be one continued ROT I'd of en-
tertainments, with banquet tomorrow

situation at Manila Admiral Sampson
said in an interview with the Post:
1.-The trouble will not last long; the
American forces will very quickly settle
IL.
1.-The Presidents hands have been tied
in the past by the fact that the peace
treaty Is pending and he could do moth
ing but await the action OF Congress In
determining the relationship of the parties
concerned in the Philippine situation but
now the Filipinos have taken 1t upon
themselves to. begin hostilities, taking the
CONSEQUENCES of future results upon their
own shoulders, the Americans are free to
go ahead and punish the offending par
ties
"Such an attack as has been described
is equivalent to u declaration of war,
"Spnin will not interfere in case OF
trouble between the Filipinos and the
United States. Spain has already had all
the fighting she wants.

of MilIer's force therefore, was returned
to Manila and that general was left with
one regiment Of regulars and battalion
of artillery just sufficient TO take advant-
age of any detection of his front but not
enough TO force his way ashore and hold
his own. Then rather as a formal au-
thorization, for he did not need the in
struction, Dewey was told to cooperate
fully with General Otis in any measures
the latter might take. 1t is believed that
1t was unknown to the insurgents that
some of the American warships were
quietly moved in positions lwhere they
perfectly commanded the fnsurgent
trenches and defenses and could shell
them with effect in case of an outbreak.
This m ovement was effected more than
ten days ago and the administration has
not felt serious appreh ension Of General
Oas's ability at least to hold his own.
The American position might have been
greatly strengthened it is said, by a Judic-
ious extension of the lines in certain
directions and also by taking summary
measures to prevent the operations OF the
insurgents in taking up positions and Or
gari2ing forces. President Mckinley took
the view that perhaps under strict con-
struction of the terms of the protocol
which still holds good in the absence OF
the ratification of the treaty, he lacked
authority to extend the field of oocupa-
ton of the Americans. The fact that the
Insurgents themselves have been the first
TO break the truce probably releases the
United States government from further
obligation in this respect SO that General
Otis was unquestionably warranted in
the opinion of the administration Off
cials, in extending his lines as Dewey
reports he has done.
The situation is regarded here as rather
anomalous from diplomatic standpoint.
Legally the Filipinos are still Spanish
subjects, Therefore. il hostile operations
continue outside of the limits of Manila
as laid down in the protocol, it will
amount to a resumption of the war with
ain, at least technically.
