REBELLION STILL STRONG.
Insurrection In Manila as vigorou
as Ever.

as Ever.
San Francisco, Cal, Aug. Am Of
ficer OF one of the volunteer regiments
in the Philippines has written the fol-
lowing letter to the Associated Press:
Manila, June 27.-The arrival Of the
rainy season finds the insurrection as
vigorous as it has been at any time
since the outbreak. The insurgent arm
les are we'll recruited, Notwithstanding
their heavy losses, and are we'll fed and
clothed. They have profited by their
five months OF warfare against the
American tactics and are becoming bet
ter disciplined and more skillful in the
use of their weapons.
"One hundred thousand soldiers
should be here ready for business by
the beginning of the dry season in No
vember. Garrisons could then be sta
toned at strategic points.
"a continuous warfare cannot be car
ried on in this enervating climate by
the same troops. Frequent reliefs are
necessary. Troops should not be kept
here longer than a year. Men from a
northern climate retain their native
vigor for six or eight months after ar
rival here and then begin to succomb
to the various ailments of tropical
weather. This is exemr 'ified in the
cases of the volunteers and those regu-
lars who have been in the Philippines
since last summer. The most of them
are saturated with malaria. many have
rheumatism, and all are greatly debili-
tated. They are unfit for further duty,
and recuperation seems slow and un-
satisfactory.
THE $4,000 people Of the Philip
pines are as highly civilized as the 49,
900 of Mexico. If the American peo-
pie will imagine the United States tc
have acquired Mexico against her will
and to be engaged in an attempt to put
down universal rebellion Of Mexicans
with 10000 troops they will have dup
licate picture at close range of the sit
uation in the Philippines with the ex-
ception that the climate of the Philip
pines is from 10 degrees to 15 degrees
more tropical than that of Mexico

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. IA Washington
dispatch to the Globe Democrat says.
If there is to be new president of
San Domingo chosen the good VIII of
the administration a. Washington will
probably be shown to Maxine Gomez,
the leader of the Cuban revolution
Unless there should be strong annex
alton sentiment developed in San Do
mingo, Gomez is likely to prove more
acceptable to the United States as the
future president of the island than any
of the other aspirants. The adminis-
tration has had dealings with Gen. Co
mez and while his conduct In all re-
spects has not been such as to fully
satisfy the people and the military gov
ernor of Cuba, Gen. Brooke, he has
acted so incomparably better than any
of the other Cuban leaders that the adj
ministration feels kindly disposed to-
ward him.
Gomez is native of San Domingo,
and the presidency of that republic
would be a fitting crown to his career.
AS was shown in these dispatches
last night. the island of San Domingo
is practically mortgaged to United
States capitalists. It's future is there
fore matter of grave concern to the
United States. II request for annexa-
ton should come from the congress of
San Domingo 1t is almost certain to re-
ceive favorable consideration from the
congress of the United States.
Annexation would afford the surest
protection to the vast American inter-
ests in the island. But If the people
Of the island do not want annexation
then the United States will be con-
cerned about the next best step to pro-
tect the interests of its citizens.
The administration cannot, of course,
exercise any direct influence In the
election of a president for the island.
But the knowledge that the adminis-
tration at Washington has a prefer
ence among the aspirants will not be
without its effect. One thing is certain,
and that is that the Dominicans will
have to determine the future of their
country in an orderly way. The adj
ministration Will not permit the island
to become a prey to revolutionists.
The Washington officials are not
crossing any bridges until they come
to them, but there is hardly doubt
that If serious hostilities should result
in San Domingo over the choice of a
successor to Heureaux, President Nc
kinley would step in and exercise a
protectorate over the island until such
time as he shouldslearn what the wishes
of congress We're on the subject.
