THE SITUATION IN manila.
OTIS SENDS A FULL REPORT.
Campaigning Will stop During Rainy
Season-Our Line Sixty Miles Long
Insurgent Army Scattered-The Masses
Desire Peace-Volunteers Relieved.

Washington, June 27.--General Otis, in
reply TO cable from the war department
asking for information regarding the sit
uation and conditions in the Philippines
today, cables long reply, as follows;
Manila, June 27.-Adjutant General,
Washington: Durig the rainy season there
can be little inland campaigning i'll Luzon'
We occupy the larger portion of the Tag
alo country, our lines stretching from
linus on the south to San Fernando on the
north, nearly 90 miles, and eastward into
Laguna province.
The insurgent armies have suffered
great losses and are scattered. The only
large force together is about 1000 in Tar
lac province and north rn Pampanga. Their
scattered forces are in bands OF from so to
500. In other portions of Luzon, in Cayite
and Batangas provinces, they could as
scmble possibly 1000, though they are de-
moralized from recent defeats.
The mass of the people, terrorized by
the insurgents soldiers, desire peace and
American protection. They no longer flee
on the approach of our troops, unless
forced by the insurgents, but gladly wei
come them. There has been no recent
burning of towns.
The population within our lines is be-
coming dense, taking up land cultivation
extensively. They are kept out Of Manila
as much as possible, as the city popula-
ton is becoming too great to be cared for.
The natives in southeast Luzon are com
bining to drive out the insurgents.
The only hope of the insurgent leaders
is for United States aid. They proclaim
the near overthrow of the present admin
istration, to be followed by their indie
pendence and recognition by the United
States. This is the influence which en-
ables them to hold out. Much contention
prevails among them, and no civil govern
ment remains.
Trade with ports not in our possession,
and formerly the source OF insurgent reve-
nue., is now interdicted, but | am not Ger
tain OF the wisdom of this policy, as the
people in these parts are without supply
OF food and the merchants are suffering
losses. | mediate restoring trade privi-
leges, although the insurgents may reap
the benefits.
"The courts are in successful operation
under the direction Of able Filipinos.
affairs in other islands are compare.

calls for American troops are received. ]

White and COIored School Children
in Ohio,

State School Commissioner Bone
brake has received from DR.. James G.
Clayton, of Washington, d. c., COM
munication making inquiry as to what
cities and counties in Ohio have sep
arate schools for colored pupils. DIR.
Clayton is Secretary of ,ne National
Coloned Teachers bureau of Washing
ton and ne is acting for the organiza-
ton.
The law providing for separate
schools for white and colored children
was repealed in 1887 and there are now
no such schools reporting to the state
department. 1t is, however, possible
that in some Ohio cities the former
condition still exists by mutual con-
sent.
The present law reads as follows:
whilst, under section 1918 of the
Revised Statutes, power is conferred
upon boards of education to make as
signments of the youth OF their respec-
tive districts to schools established by
them as will in their opinion best pro-
mote the best interests of education,
such power cannot De exercised with
reference to the race or the color of
the youth. Ohio State Journal.
