PHILIPPINES BOARD.
The Commission Will Meet in
Washington This Week,
RESURRECTION MAY Be CRUSHED.
Important Points Hereafter OCCUPIED 70
BE Garrlsoned and the NeIghborhood
Provided with Protection 30 Natives
Can Follow Their Vacations.

Washington, Oct. sS.-Arrangements
have been perfected by the state de-
partment for a meeting of the Philip
pine commission this week in wash
ington. A telegram received by Secre'
tary Hay announces that Col DENLY
and Prof. Worcester will reach this
city to-day. Mr.. Schurman, the presi-
dent Of the commission, has been d.
rected to meet his colleagues, and Sec
rotary Long has given orders to Al.
miral Dewey, assigning him to special
duty in connection with the commits
sion. The only absentee, therefore
will be Gen. Otis, who has confided MS
views to his associates and who will
doubtless be frequently communicated
with by cable.
II Is expected that the president will
see Col DENLY and Prof. Worcester i'm
mediately upon their arrival and learn
the condition Of affairs at the time OF
their departure. OF course cable ad-
vices have been received, but they do
not show that any important change
IN the situation has taken place since
the departure Of the two commissioners
with the exception Of the new military
move made by Gen. Otis. Therefore the
news Of Col. DENLY and Prof. Worces-
ter will be fresh and will doubtless
be useful in connection with the work
Of the commission. The commission
will recommend the character OF gov
eminent for the several tribes In the
archipelago and will report exhaust.
lively upon the sociological, industrial
and economic conditions prevailing in
the islands. The views Of the COM
mission will be useful to the president
in the preparation OF his message,
Admiral Dewey believes that the
campaign which Gen. Otis has begun
north Of Manila will surely crush the
ipsurrection. He and other officials
are especially pleased at the policy OF
establishing garrisons. which Gen.
Otis has begun at San lsidro. As un-
derstood by the war department, all
important points hereafter occupied
will be garrisoned and the country In
the immediate neighborhood provided
with permanent protection, SO that the
natives can return undisturbed to
their usual vocations. The execution
Of such policy will, the officials be-
lieve, have an important effect upon
the Filipinos and will aid in bringing
the revolt TO an end.
