From our Regular Correspondent
WARRINGTON. D. O., Oct. o, 1899. |
Gen. Otis is showing, by unusual ac- |
fivity, that he doesn't intend to wait |
either for the achievements for his |
army, the additional warships ordered |
10 Philippine waters, on the advice OF
admiral Dewey, or the close Of the
Aainy season, TO begin the work OF
crushing out the Filipino rebellion.
The military movements over there
during the last two or three days were
= part OF the general plan fully known
and approved at the War Department.
but the secret was so well kept that
the press dispatches from Manila an
uouncing them were very agreeable
surprises to the public. There will be
some more very agreeable surprises to
Abe public sent from Manila in thel
near future, but no hint Of their nature
can be given at this tiEe without vio-
IAting confidence.
SENATOR KYLE PRKsIDING.

THE OUTLOOK IN NKBRAkKA.
Nebrssksns who have been in Wash

ADMIRAL DKwEY's PRKsENTI
While Admiral Dewey is an extreme
1v modest man, he has no mock mod
estv. Having decided to accept tn
home for which money has been DC
mated. he told the commi ttee IN charg
of the fund, that he preferred the
should buy q house, ana furnish
eomplete, 80 that he could just walk !
and hang up his hat, because he woul
like to utilize it this winter, in enter
tanning his friends he also gave th
committee very explicit directions q
TO where he wished the mouse TO De lC
Gated. Before leaving Washington fc
New England, Admiral Dewey accept
ed an invitation to 90 to Atlanta. Gs
about November 1st, and re-engsge
quarters at the family hotel in whic
ne lived when last in the cit
which he will occupy whe
he returns, until the committee buy
him house. The Admiral expects
be in Washin gton when President N
Kinley returns, which is likely to
about the Goth inst.
WILL RRMAIN NEUTRAL.
The only thing that could possibl
cat &c this government to offer to M
di .te between Great Britain and Il
Tranvaal republic wonld be for II
former government to join In the r
quest already indirectly mAdeby Il
latter. If there is war, as now seen
probable, this government will mail
fain strict neutrality. In notifying Il
government OF the Transvaal Republ
fhat the United States could not re
ognize Gen. James r. O'Beirne,
NV York, as its diplomatic represel
tasiye, the Depart ment Of State sir
ply followed . rule as old IS our 60
ernment--not to allow an Americ'
tizen to automatically represent
foreign country at Washington. tn
