Manila, June 81. via Hongkong. Juiv
Two opposite views of the Phiiip.
pine situation are held by those per-
sons who have followed the American
campaign with close attention.
First is the official military view.
According to this, the situation is now
Wen in hand, and the campaign has
been as successful as possible. The
natives are tired Of instruction and
are friendly toward the Ameri-
cans thar toward the insurgents. The
lrsurgent army is made up almost en-
tlrely OF brigands who can no longer
be held together by their leaders. The
war viii soon be over il is declared if
the wet season holds off. The force of
troops now on hand is sufficient for
the emergency. Business is picking
up. The disorganized insurgents, de-
prlved of their resources, are held to-
gether at present merely by the hope
given the rebels through the anti-an-
neXation movement in the United
states and the American papers which
reach here. The insurgent leaders are
actuated solely by selfish personal am
billions.
The second view, which is held by
military men in the field and leading
thinkers, is that the ability of our
troops TO drive the insurgents at will
Is proved, the suppression of the insur-
rectlon depends upon the ability of the
me IN authority to cope with the st.
uatlon and net upon muzzling the
American press.
The outlook at present is more
gloomy for a speedy ending of the war
than ever before. The method Of MAX
ing raids into the country and then
withdrawing, leaving the friendly ma
ttves at the mercy of the returning in
%surgents. has tended to ALLEVIATE the
population and not materially.to weak.
en- the insurgents. The organization OF
the insurgents is still good, and their
resources are not greatly impaired.
The failure this season to take the
railroads running through the valley
Of the rice country about San Fernando
leaves TO the enemy immense resources
and fails to protect the interests of
foreign merchants.
With the present methods the war
with the FilipinoS MAY continue in-
definitely. The only true method to
pacify the country is to garrison al the
important towns. TO do this
that twice the number of troops nj
ready here are necessary, with several
regiments Of mounted cavalry. -Four
thousand men being in the hospital,
$500 in tie Southern islands and 49,
600 in Manila, Cayite and small gar.
risons, this leaves only 500 men for
active campaigning. This number is
not sufficient. since the troops in the
north are in bad condition. many sol
diers having irritated hearts by reason
of overeXertion on account Of the small
number of troops available.

New London, Conn, July /. = Har-
ward won al of the boat races to-day
three victories over Yale in three
hours-and the western sky glowed
crimson last evening when the Har-
ward varsity crew palled over the fin
ish line six and a half-lengths ahead of
Yale. After eight years of defeat the
students of Cambridge are tasting the
sweet of success Harvard's univer-
sity eight won from Yale over a four
mile course, by six and a half lengths
in 20:52. Harvard's freshman eight
won from Yale over a two-mile course
by two and a half lengths in nine min
utes 33 IL seconds. Harvard's sub
stitute four won from Yale over a two
mile course by six lengths in ten min
utes and fifty-one seconds. The Har-
ward crews rowed a magnificent exhi-
bition of the English stroke coupled
with some features of the stroke pulled
by Wisconsin and Coach McConville
of Wisconsin, who saw the race, said:
IF Harvard's crew in to-day's form
had been at Poughkeepsie ! am afraid
they would have given us all a hustle
for first place"

stroke and the boat die not go to-day
as it did when the famos coach was
there. The races were rowed in al
most ideal water and wind and clear
skies. The course was badly policed,
boats getting into the lane and steam
ers kicking up swells after the race
had started. Harvard in the varsity
race very nearly collided witha num-
Der of small boats at the finish and a
heavy swell impeded Yale. The var
sity race was nrettily rowed, but the
defeat was crushing. Yale, however,
rowed gamely to the finish and neither
crew showed signs of distress. The
contest between the substitutes con-
s%tituting the varsity tours was, like
the varsity race, a procession, Har-
ward six full lengths ahead at the fin
fish. The freshmen effort was a mighty
and splendid one up TO the last eighth
of a mile when Harvard's superior
staying powers, coupled with an I'M
fortunate obstruction of the course of
the Yale youngsters by n large steam
err, worked for Harvard's advantage
and sent the 1902 men of Harvard
across the lire w lengths ahead of
Yale. Both of these races Were post
poned from the forenoon and were
rowed about an hour after they had
been scheduled for the afternoon.
There was little or no betting.
