man. The United States would, it is
said, make no objection to the English
taking action in such a case. were it not
that it would establish a precedent for
other nations to interfere. Consequent
ly it is believed that the action of the
gunboat will be limited to pacific in
reference or that special understand
ing as to its mission has been reached
with Admiral Dewey.
Unofficial advices say that an attack
has been made on the volunteer troops
north of Manila, comprising the bri-
gade of General H. G.. Otis, probably
with the view of ascertaining whether
his lines had been weakened by with
drawing men for the operations at
Pasig. The rebels soon discovered Otis
in force and fell back. General Otis
this morning. reports one American
killed and one wounded at Caloocan,
probably as a result of this attack.
Aguinaldo, it is now learned. is not
at MaloIos, his capital, but is only a
short distance in the rear of the rebel
troops now facing General H. G. Otis
He is said to visit the front daily and
TO be received with enthusiasm. His
presence there increases the chances
that he may be surrounded and cap
tured by a sudden movement of Gen
.eral Hale from the east.

Washington, March II
There was much reluctance shown at
the War Department to-day to discuss
a cable dispatch from General Otis re-
ceived during the day. and which was
regarded as most important by those
who read it as indicating that hostil-
ities might cease very suddenly in the
Philippines and a collapse Of the insur-
rection come at any time.
The reasons for the belief of General
Otis that climax might come at any
hour were not stated, but his assump-
tion was bastd on the favorable reports
he had received from various sources
thar the fiIipinos were tired of the war
and OF AGuinaldo's leadership. 1t is
believed at the War Department shat
the method in which the Americans
have conducted the fighting has done
much to convince the Filipinos of the
uselessnc15 II trying to drive out the
United States forces. The fighting has
been Of different character from that
10 which they were accustomed when
the S8aniards were in possession of
Manila.
General Otis cablegram- has caused
a great deal of qualifications. 1t was
sent to the President at ThOmasville.
The preparations that have been under
way to send further troops and sup
plies 10 the Philippines have not been
stopped, however. The light batteries
which General Otis requested in the
cable of last night will be sent, as they
may be useful in future operations and
in case of disturbances in distant parts
Of the island.
The news. that an insurrection has
also broken out at Leyte, while sub
ject Of considerable interest, does not
worry the War Department people, who
say these outbreaks of savagery in the
lesser islands are always liable TO. occur
until Luzon has been subjugated.
Ii may not be necessary to send troops
to the island of Leyte, but if matters
there become serious Colonel James F.
Smith of the First California, now at
Negros. may be dispatched, as his
troops are nearest the scene of dis
turbance. Leyte is southeast Of Luzon.
It is one of the Visayan group, lying
next TO Cebu and not far from Negros
and Panay, on the latter of which Iloilo
is situated
Some comment was caused at the
State Department over the statement
that a British gunboat has gone to

PEACE TREATY
SIGNED BY THE
QUEEN REGENT
Now Spain and the United States
Will Speedily Terminate
the War.

not neglect to press the matter upon
the attention of the State Department
and Will perhaps solicit authority to re-
sumo direct negotiations with the IN
surgents looking to the release of the
prisoners. If the Spanish Government
should insist some disagreeable ques-
tlonS may be raised, involving the Eof-
NAL recognition of the insurgents by
Spain, in. which case. perhaps, it might
claim the right to deal directly with
Aguinaldo.
Contrary to an expectation that
seems to have obtained in some quar-
ters, the signing of the treaty does not
involve the immediate discharge OF
all the volunteer soldiers. 1t was stated
positively at the State Department
that, legally, the treaty. does not go into
effect until the ratifications have been
exchanged and it will further be neces-
sary for the President to proclaim it
before the people of the United States,
including the soldiers, before it can be
known officially that the war is over.
In all other aspects, however, the
State Department will treat the war as
at an end.
It is believed here that new Span
ish Minister will come prepared 1mme-
diately after making the exchange OF
ratifcations to institute negotiations for
treaty of trade, commerce and amity,
the old treaty having been nullified sy
the outbreak of the war.
One of the first duties of the officials
of the War Department who are
charged with the administration of the
customs affairs of the insular posses
sions of the United States will be to
prescribe regulations to give effect to
the pledge of the United States to af-
ford Spanish commerce with the Philip
pines and the West Indies favored
treatment.

WASHINGTON, March 17-Official
news Of the action at Madrid was not
conveyed to the State Department be-
fore the close of the department for the
day. M. Cambon called at the depart
ment about ten minutes to ( o'clock
and in the absence of Secretary Hay
called upon Assistant Secretary Hill
He told the latter that he believed the
treaty had been signed. 1t seems now
probable that to the ambassador will
be confided the honor of closing up the
task which he set about seven months
ago, that of bringing the two great
nations, then at war, to state of
peace. Usually the rule is for a nation
situated as is Spain to send a special
envoy charged with the duty of ex-
changing the ratif1cations, but a good
reason for accepting again the French
ambassadors offices in this last func-
ton would be the saving of time.
The signing of the treaty cannot in
any manner affect the status of the
Spanish prisoners in the hands of
Aguinaldo, for the United States Gov
ernment is doing all that it can to Sc
cure their release. Still it is appre-
hended that the Spanish Government,
being able to address itself directly to
the United States Government as soon
as the ratifications ARE exchanged, will

A Queer Hermit.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Delaware county can boast Of hermit.
while at the same time in many ways this
man differs from the usual recluse. His
camp is located on the James Truit farm,
near Selma, in a large grove Of trees on the
river bank. "Oid Hickory" or Homestead,
his proper name, is about fifty-three years
Of age, and he has been living in this place
for the past ten years He goes into camp
about the last of March and remains until
December. He erected himself hut. in
which he lives, spending the larger portion
of his time in fishing. trapping and hunting.
Near the cottage Is a truck garden, from
which he secures part of his food In one
of the large trees a box house has been
constructed in which he takes refuge from
high water. This has been used but once
when Homestead spent a week in the place,
swimming to the shore to get his meals.
All the trees are whitewashed. and the old
gentleman has stretched bunting from diff
ferent parts of the camp. making pretty
effect. The place Is kept scrupulously
clean, and the hermit Is noted for his hos
pitaiity. He is well known to the glass men
of Muncie many of whom camp along the
river during the hot months. .'Old Hick-
ory' expects to continue this mode of life
until he dies.
