TAKING OF SAN LUIS.

MANILA, May 9.--The expedition up
ghe Rio Grande river met with no resist
ance except at the outskirts OF San Luis,
where several hundred Filipinos were In
trenChed on the bank OF the stream. The
rebels retreated beyond Candaba, and
the gunboats steamed ahead, all the way
training their gatling guns upon the
banks and dropping shells wherever uni
forms appeared upon the shore, The
gunboats dispersed the insurgents before
San Luis. After they had passed, sharp

of natives were clustered under the trees
on the opposite bank, displaying white

Americans, but most Of them maintained

Of the town. He said:

CONFIDENCE IN OTIS.

WASHINGTON. May a.-The cable
from General Otis today indicates to the
war department that the commission.
which is now in Manila. will accomplish
nothing because II has no authority to
negotiate for actual peace,
The Importance OF the visit OF the COM
mission Is the evident desire Of The
Fliplnos to end hostniues There is an
Impression that Auginaldo is playing for
time in his request. No Instructions or
suggestions will be sent to General Otis
by the department. The officials are
confident that he has the matter well In
hand ana will be better able TO Judge
what is bes, to do. From the manner
In which General Otis has handled the
past negotiations with the Filipinos there
is little doubt he will refuse the request
for the armistice asked
The position OF the American troops In
the Philippines Is such as TO render It
impossible to infict great damage TO
the Fnlplnos without serious loss to our
forces I..,

A PICTURE OF GENUINE AMERICAN
EXPANSION.
Times.fieraldl

Times.HeraldI
The most eloquent testimony concern
ing the lofty character OF our mission
in the new island dependencies comes
in the shape Of photograph from Ponce,
Porto Rico, This is not picture of COM
mercial or military conquest, In 1t there
is no suggestion of the splendid military
campaign by which General Miles
brought the island under the stars and
stripes. II is not picture Of ships un-
loading cargoes OF American products In
exchange for Porto Rican sugar and
coffee.
1t is a picture that shows TO the world
that we are not in Porto Rico for COM
mercial ACKNOWLEDGMENT or military sub
jugation. 1t is photograph of Amert-
can expansion" picture showing the
natural fruition Of the Anglo-Saxon su-
premacy in all climeS where the Latin
races have been driven out by Its resist
less advance.
In this picture Is row Of 81 Porto
Rican, bare-footed youngsters, lined up
in front of the first American school
in Ponce. Behind them, standing in the
doorway. Is an American schoolmaster,
with intelligence and determination in
his face. minus the traditional birch,
typical of the greatest force in our Amer
lean civilization.
In this class Of 81 may be future
governor of Porto Rico, a future mayor
of Ponce or future representatives Of the
island. perhaps, at Washington. They
are at least being trained into good
American citizens, who will be able tC
recognize the obligations OF citizenship
under the flag of our republic, and vii
be intelligent enough to discharge then
for the common welfare OF the people.
This is the other side Of the Spanish
American war picture-the side thai
must silence the carping cynicisms Of thu
lantl-expansionists. II Is an argument
they cannot answer-more eloquent thar
editorials or sermons and more con
lvinclng than proclamations. 1t pictures
the kind OF transformation that will b'
wrought in Cuba and the Philippine
when they have been completely pacifie'
and reclaimed from the land OF despot
ism and internal disorder.
The United States is in Porto Rico
mot for sugar and coffee alone-but TO
common schools and civilization.
