that 1t would be cheaper in the long run
and have better effect upon the natives
to establish American supremacy effec-
tually and quickly than to temporize
with score Of rehellions.
All the stories told by prisoners and
friendly natives agree that majority
OF the insurgents would be glad to quit,
but that there are enough professional
revOlutionists left to infest the country
with bands Of hundreds Of men and to
3emoralize business for years to come.
Foreigners III Manila think the Amer
leans are too optimistic as to the effects
of the proclamation. They say that the
weakness Of the probation lies in the
fact that the natives have SO long dealt
with the Spanish that they are unable
to realize what it's words mean, aud
that the purport OF its promises is any
thing but snare.
The Spanish system of defending
Manila by line Of blockhouses may b<
adopted by the American authorities
here during the wet season, as it re
quires fewer men than the trench de
lenses and lessons the chance of sick
uess among the defenders.

NEW YORK, April IL. - Admiral

terview regarding the suggestion that
the admiral be made candidate for
