Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, VEL
LINGTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON,
Sept. 22.-No official confirmation has
been received of the report that Agui-
naldo's envoy has reached Manila and
that conferences are in progress be-
tween him and General Otis. Such in
formation is hourly expected, however
and the authorities are awaiting it with
much interest.
The Panay, which has captured the
illicit trading vessel Mundaca, is com
manded by Ensign Lansing. who was
previously attached to the Monadnock
Lieutenant Joseph w. Osman was
transferred to the Mariveles from the
Helena. 1t is evident from Admiral
Watson's dispatch that he is maintain
ing sharp watch for fllibusters. The
fact that efforts are being made to send
in such supplies seems to indicate that
the insurgents have no intention of
yielding.
A plan is under consideration at the
War Department to create an army di-
vision Of the Philippines and divide the
division into departments similar TO
that in Cuba The idea is to create
four departments in the Philippines, at
least three of them to be commanded
by major generals. The Philippines
ISielOLOit nave Deen Known as Ine De-
partment Of the Pacific. 1t is expected
that one department Of the proposed
new division will consist of General
MacArthur'S command, north of Man
lila; another will be General Lawton s
command, south of Manila, and a third
will be a new command to operate
from Lingayen or Dagupin. A fourth
department probably will consist of
troops in the islands south of Manila,
which include the commands now at
IloilO, Cebu and other points.

gents ditched a railroad train a mile

here at the Emancipation celebration OF
the Butler County fair grounds The

ton for expansion. In concluding his
argument favoring retention of the Phil

An unhappy war is now IN progress. 1t is

no purpose in prosecuting 1t, except only to
restore order and prepare the way for the es-
tablishment in due time of such civil govern
nent as Congress may provide When Congress
convenes all can be heard, and have no doubt
that wise and just results will be reached
In the meantime, long as the war continues
there can be but two sides to il, and only one
is the American side. Where flag and
our soldiers are there must stand the whole
American people.
When the end of the strife comes II not
sooner II will be made manifest that our pur-
poses are altogether benefcent. We do not
want to Cypress anybody or deprive anybody
of eIf-government who is capable of it On
the contrary to the fullest extent consistent
with the maintenance of law and order and the
discharge of our international obligations and
as rapidly possible, the Tagalos and Vicolls
the Visayas, the Moros. the Begrtes and ali
the peoples and tribes of that archipelago will
be advanced in the enjoyment of freedom lib
erty independence and self-government under
the protection Of the American flag.

in nsurgent hands.
To-day the American forces are taking
the aggressive for the first time and are
moving out 10 cover and hold more terri

sessed the half-burned town of Iloilo and
nothing more.
The Twenty-sixth Regiment, under Cob
Rice, arrived here two weeks ago flom
the United States.
We at home knew" said officers of this
regiment, that our troops were on Panay,
but we had the impression they occupied
the island; that the important coast towns
at least were ours; that our possess on
was more than nominal. Hence we are
surprised to see the American forces actu-
ally besieged by the insurgents upon three
miles of land Immediately surrounding
Iloilo."
People in the United States may have
the same ideas as had the officers of the
Twenty-siXth Regiment, and to them Il
would be well to say that our lines, up TO
the present, embrace the suburbs of Jaro
and Molo, both within three miles of this
port and nothing more.

Capt. Gordon's mounted scouts of the

ty-sixth and the two battalions of the
Nineteenth constituted a provisional regi-
ment, under Col Rice, while the first and
third battalons of the Twenty-sixth, gar
risoned Iloilo and Jaro.
The objective point of the expedition was
the supposed insurgent stronghold at San
ia Barbara, eighty-seven miles north of
Jaro, but as the direct road between these
two points had been strongly entrenched,
the American forces made a detour to the
west in order to approach Santa Barbara
on its unprotected side.

occupied successfully the villages of Oton,
