Ing dispatch from Gen. Otis received to-
day. 1t contains a great deal of en-
couragement to them, and those who
know Gen. Otis we'll say he is not a. man
to take roseate view Of the situation
unless there is reason for it. 1t is argued
at the department that the Filipinos have
never been used to the kind of warfare
that the Americans have given them and
for that reason they are now aware that
1t will be impossible for them to ac-
complish anything by fighting. While
there is disappointment because the
movement to capture a large force of
the Filipinos was not successful. 1t Is
believed that the pressing of the insur-
gents steadily toward the north, captur-
ing their capital, and driving them from
place to place, has had a very discouras-
ing effect upon the natives who have
been following Aguinaldo.
1t is evident by the reference which
Gen. Otis makes to reconnoitoring par
ties. that he is having the country thor
oughly patrolled, and information which
they are giving him is the base for the
dispatch received today. 1t is believed
that desertions will soon deplete the
army Of Aguinaldo to little or nothing.

HARRISON MEN CONFIDENT
Concede a Big Vote to Altgeld, but
Not Sufficient to Defeat Harrison
Wide Divergence in Figures
Given Out by the Opposing Par
t1es-Altgeld Must Secure IOO, 900

CHICAGO, April S.-The vote to be
polled by John p. Altgeld, in the mayor
atty election tomorrow, Is admitted by all
parties to be a most undecided factor
and yet 1t is the thing upon which all
three candidates, Harrison Oem), Carter
Rep.). and Altgeld Independent Dem.)
are basing their hopes Of final success.
The Altgeld men say that their candidate
VINO is standing upon the Chicago plat
form, will secure all the straight Silver
Democratic vote and will certain be
elected. They allow him 600 votes
In the headquarters of the Harrison
faction tonight there is the greatest con-
fidence. They say that there is not the
slightest doubt of the mayors reelection.
They give him 10000 votes as against
100000 for Carter and 100000 for Altgeld.
In the Republican camp the estimate
is Carter 10000. Harrison 10000 and Alt
geld $4,000. They claim that Altgeld will
draw enough votes from Harrison to elect
Carter, beyond doubt The Democrats
agree that there will be something of
detection from the Harrison ranks in
favor Of Altgeld, but say that the votes
to come to Harrison from the Republican
ranks will more than offset whatever
he will lose by the candidacy of AltgeId.
DIFFICULT TO FORECAST.
The sober admission is, however In all
Of the headquarters, that there has
seldom If ever been an election in Chi
cago SO difficult to forecast with accuracy
as this one. Not one Of the parties has
made. an attempt to poll the votes prior
to election, and their estimates are for
the most part guesswork. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the size of the Altgeld
vote is what will determine the result.
If he secures close to 100000 votes it
means the election Of Carter, the Re-
publican candidate. If he has under 40
000-and the estimates run all the way
between the Reconsideration will be
elected. If Altgeld has much over 100, 900
he is likely to be elected, but the majority
: of politicians In both the Democratic
and Republican ranks say that they have
little fear Of his election.
The Republicans are expecting trouble
at the polls, tomorrow, in several wards,
particularly in the First and Eighteenth.

They Were Heavy Throughout the
State of Michigan.
DETROIT. Mich, April 3.-Today' 8
elections In Michigan have not shown
any marked change in the general po-
litical complexion of the state, which Is
! normally Republican, but the result
shows quite heavy Democratic gains In
some of the larger cities, notably so in
Detroit. Grand Rapids, Saginaw, jackson
and Kalamazoo. On a generally light
vote the Republicans hold their own in
the smaller cities and throughout the
rural districts. Circuit judges were
elected in thirty-six judicial districts. OF
these about two-thirds of the new judges,
who are elected for six-year terms, are
Republicans. The Republicans re-elect-
ed Judge Claudius B. Grant, as justice
Of the supreme court, by majority Of at
least 10000. They also elect Henry 8.
Dean and Ell R. Sutton, regents of Mich
igan university, by somewhat greater MA
jorities. Thomas e. Barkworth, Demo
cratic candidate for Justice, ran nearly
5000 ahead of Judge Grant, in Wayne
county Oetroit), and Grant received only
LOCO plurality in Kent county Grand
Rapids, which in recent years has shown
much heavier Republican majorities.

troit was extensively split up, and re-

cases by increased majorities on a light
vote.
