Minister Barrett Reviews the Situation.

who has just arrived from Manila.
emphatically declares that the gloomy
forebCdings expressed in some quarters
relative to the Philippines are not justi-
fled by the facts. The United States
naval and military authorities" he
says, have done everything possible in
the difficult and exceptional circum-
stances, and the united support of all
parties in the United States at the
bring matters in the Philippines to a
quick and lasting settlement, honorable
to the motherland. Should the Fill
pinos. however, who are kept well in
formed, acquire the idea that a pro:
longation of hostilities would affect
politics in the United states advantage
ously to them, the war would be more
prolonged"
Soldiers All willing TO Stay.
With regard to the statements that
the Minnesota volunteers and others
wished to return to the United States
Barrett said he had talked with the
officers of all the regiments and with
many OF the men, and that while they
would welcome a return TO the United
States so soon as their places could be
effectually filled by regulars there was
no such feelings as one of insubordina-
ton. dependency or discomfort. On the
contrary all were aCtuated. he asserted,
by intense patriotism. and not a man
wished to leave the Philippines until he
had seen the campaign through. or
could leave the work to regular troops.
In the opinion of Barrett the Filipino.

recent successes of General Otis and
General Lawton, and to become con-
WINGED IF American superiority. will set

EressiXe citizenship.

last mail steamer from Auckland to
avoid needless collisions, but to protect
property and life until the three treaty
powers decided how to deal with the
situation. No further instructions have
yet been sent to him, and if any go for
ward by cable within the next "a hours,
which is the limit of time available if
the outgoing steamer is to be caught
at Auckland, they will be simply rep
etition of former orders. Department
officials point out that from accounts
SO far received the admiral appears to
have acted in conjunction with the
British forces only in pursuance of the
policy of defense of foreign interests.
1t is expected that he will not abate
his efforts to secure the restoration of
peace, and it is probable that when
the high commission arrives at Apia it
will find its work facilitated through
the suppression of the rebellion.

at 1884 p. m. The ceremony of ex-
changing ratifications of the treaties
of peace occurred at the executive man

ambassador in turn gave to the presi-

properly attested by the queen regent

was devoid of all display, but made an
impressive closing scene in the nego-
