DIVERSE VIEWS.
As 60 the change i'm conditions wrought
by the ratification OF the treaty to-day.
there is variance OF views. and Adju-
taut-Genoral Corbin and Second Assist
ant Adec ot the State Department. were
Swing the matter attention to-day. with
the idea of being able 90 send full in
strucfions for his future guidance 10 Cen
crai Otis Immediately.
The extreme Wow on one side is that un-
tl the Spanish Government ratihes the
treaty it is not of legal effect.
According Co that view therefore. the
United states government is stopped from
proceeding beyond their lines al Manila
for the time BY the other extreme view.
the United States government is free 20
do just as it pieases in the entire group
of islands and viii therefore proceed ~
once TO complete the military occupation
Of them. Perhaps there is justification
for this last view in the fact that the
Fiipinos were Spanish subjects n0mnally
when they broke the terms OF the pro-
TOGO. and thereby released the United
States from fits observance The medium
view. and that which is likely 10 be
followed is that General OILS is justified
in doing anything that is necessary 90
protect his army and an American and
foreign interests I'm Manila. even though
this obliged him 20 assume the offensive
and TO go outside of the old lines in pur-
suit OF the insurgents who may be- seek
ing 10 reoreanize and recoup from their
late defeat with an intention of attacking
again or even threatening the Americans.
NO ORDERS FOR DEWEY.
Secretary Long. this evening said that
no additional orders had bcent seQt 10
Admiral Dewey and he did not anticipate
that any would be necessary just now
Tie has been acting on the theory that
the President desired TO follow the most
liberal policy IN dealing with the Filipinos
and there was no reason now 10 change
that policy.
The Solace started from Norfolk at @
O'Clock this afternoon with "a supply of
ammunition and other needed stores for
Dewey's fleet via the Suez Canal, but
it is not the intention 10 send further
naval relnf0rccmeuts
lt was learned upon inquiry at the War
Department that AN the American troops
at Manna have au abundant supply of
smokeless powder The regulars have
the Frag-Jorrensen rifles and about
3 oo0 OF the same weapons arc in the
hands of the volunteers.
To- is no secret now that the author-
ties here We're preparing 10 arrest
Aeonci'lo just as he fed. but probably
they are not sorry that be got off safe
lr and thus relieved them from the per-
formance of "a disagreeabie task.
Tho conduct of the remaining members
OF the Filipino JUnta is still under close
watch and while the treatment 90 be ac-
corded them has not been determined it
is recognized that they are in precari
Gus position legally and csn secure inn
munitv only boy the exercise of the great Z
est discretion.
