AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN.
Filipinos to Be Given No Rest Either
I'm the Front Rear.

WASHINGTON. Sept. THE activity OF
the War Department officials and the close
figuring that Is being done regarding the
available force in the Philippines indicate
an early movement. 1t has been known
that forward movement was contem-
plated in November. but there are now indi-
cations that the campaign may begin at
least a month earlier IL there should be IA
vorable weather conditions. BY Oct. Gen.
eral Otis will have an army OF $1,000 effect
i've fighting men. 1t Is believed by some
officials OF the army that such a force
ought to begin an active campaign without
delay unless the weather conditions are
such as TO absolutely prevent. With the
arrival at Manila of the other troops now
being raised 1t is suggested there may be
formed another corps for the purpose Of
purusing the Filipinos in some other part
OF the Island OF Luzon. In this connection
IT is known that many Officers look with
favor upon the suggestion that an army

Part Of Pho del Pilars's Army Routed
by CAPTAIN Butler.


MANILA, Sept. 7.-Captain Butler, with
three companies Of the Third Infantry, a
detachment Of cavalry and one gun, while
on a reconnaissance. met a body of rebels
yesterday at San Rafael. The Americans
scattered the enemy and captured seven
prisoners. Ave rifles and 800 rounds of am
munition. They also destroyed the rice
stored in seven warehouses. The rebels
are supposed to belong to the command Of
General Pho del Pillar, who, with his main
force, retreated to the north. The recon-
noissance will be continued. following the
rebels towards Maasin.
Small detachments of Filipinos made DEM
onstrations nightly around linus, firing vol
leys on the American outposts. The Amer
leans have thus far not replied. except on
Tuesday night. when two companies of the
Fourth Infantry sailed out and fired two
volleys in the direction of the disturbers,
who disappeared Immediately.
The secret service has learned that Agui-
naldo has preferred charges against the
general commanding in Cavite province for
failing to obey an order to attack linus.
The Americans treat the Filipinos more
like fractions children than enemies. Proofs
have been obtained that the mayor Of one
Of the towns and five members of the Coun-
ell are active insurgent sympathiZers, and
many insurgent soldiers are visiting the
town in disguise. There is no desire to
stop them, however. as it is thought that
a display of the American resources and
the efforts to give the Filipinos good gov
eminent will have beneficial effect.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept 7.-Senator Bever-
idge was the most noted caller at the
White House to-day. He arrived early in
the afternoon and undoubtedly had more in
teresting information to convey TO Mr.. Nc
Kinley than any one who has called on the
chief executive within recent weeks, or
even months Senator Beverage remained
in close consultation with the President for
two hours. During nearly all this time, it
is said, he was informing the President as
to his recent observation of conditions in
the Philippines. At o'clock Senator Bev-
eridge went out driving with the President
and to-day's conference not having ex-
hausted the information the senator
brought back from the Philippines, at the
suggestion of the President another confer
ence was arranged to take place at the
White House at $3.50 tomorrow afternoon.
When the junior senator from Indiana re-
turned from the drive he was at once sur
rounded by newspaper men. but to each
gave pleasant negative. 1t may be taken
for granted that the President found the
senator's opinions and facts of the deep
est interest as the conference of to-day
was one Of the longest ever had by any one
since President Mckinley entered the
White House.
President Scnurmann, Of the Philippine
commission, called at the State Department
to-day to say goodbye before leaving for
Ithaca, N. Y. He has undoubtedly made a
deep impression on the officials of the ad-
ministration by his statement relative to
affairs in the Philippines when he left there
His optimistic views have convinced some
of the leading officials at least that the
end Of the war in the Philippines is in
sight. One Of the arguments which he used
to support this belief was a chart of the
Philippine group. On this the various races
populating the island were graphically set
out in colors. The significant feature is the
small showing made by the Tagals. Not
only does the chart show that this tribe
forms but small portion Of the total popu-
lation of the Philippines, but it appears that
the Tagals in instruction against the
United States constitute only a portion of
the tribe, and that whole provinces in
Luzon. notably at the northern extremity
of the island, are either friendly to the
United States or at least neutral.

and the officials of the Navy Department
have consulted with the War Department
as to what can be done to advantage in this
direction. The navy has offered 10 SEND a
squadron to Lingayen bay, subdue the town
and occupy II, thus making a safe landing
for the army should the plan of attack be
decided upon.
The quartermasters department has
landed $50 head of horses and mules at Ma
Mia: there are $500 on the sea and ar
rangements are about completed to ship p
400 more within few weeks. This will sup
ply the cavalry brigade with horses and the
army with mules for transportation. Secre-
tary Root has directed the charter OF the
ships Westminster and Benmohr for trans
portation Of animals 10 the Philippines.

FORAKER WILL AID.
Assures the President He Will Work
for Republican Success.
,ecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Sept 7.-Senator Fora
ker, Of Ohio, called on President Mckinley
this morning. There are politicians who
have had some doubt regarding the course
Senator Foraker would pursue in the state
campaign in Ohio this fall. 1t has been
feared he would not give hearty support to
the Republican state ticket, put in nominal
ton at Columbus. Senator Foraker had
quite lengthy interview with the President
regarding the political situation in the
Buckeye State, and 1t is certain the Ohio
senator assured the President that he would
do all in his power to bring about Republic
an success in Ohio this year.
Shortly after his interview with the Pres
ident Senator Foraker said to newspaper
men that while the campaign in Ohio this
year would be lively one. he had no doubt
that the state ticket, headed by Judge Nash,
would be successful at the polls.

UP to last night, with a total of seven
deaths to date. Thirteen cases were re-
ported yesterday. State Health Officer Por-
ter says that the weather is propitious for
the spread of fever but the disease is slow
in advancing. Native children, born since
the last epidemic. in 1887, are being at
tackled The prospects for stamping out the
fever are not very encouraging on account
of their being so much material to feed on,
and until all unacclimated or nonimmune
persons are removed, the fever will con-
tinue.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7-Telegrams to
the surgeon general of the Marine Hospital
from Surgeon General Carter, now at Key
West, state that up to last night the
American physicians reported sixty-four
cases of yellow fever at that point. He esti-
mated that the Cuban physicians were in
attendance upon from one-third to one-half
as many more cases. but as no report had
been made by them. it was impossible to
give accurate figures. DR.. Carter expresses
the opinion that DR.. McLanahan, of the
Navy Department, who Is Ill with fever,
will recover.
A message to the surgeon general from
Miami states that the one case reported
from that point has been isolated.
