1.-THE nation that cherishes the graves
of its soldiers and assemblies to honor
them" he said, lis the nation that pre-
serves and ehlarges national life. The
monuments Of our dead show no trail
ing ranks of sad or weary captives fol-
lowing their conquerors, but display
broken manacles from the hands and
feet of emancipated blacks. The re-
suit of that emancipation was seen at
Santiago, where the black troops and
the Texas troops We'd with each other
to be the first to leap upon the enemy's
breastworks."
Mr.. Harrison then referred to the
gallant and glorious son Of Vermont
now returning homeward after achieve
ments that will keep his name ever IL
lustrious in the annals of all nations
Here in the capital of our great sis
ter republic he continued. where no
soldier of American birth finds rest
ing place. We see a sentiment of graft
tude and veneration finding suitable eX-
preston around the tomb of Lafayette,
the crusader of liberty, who came to
our aid in time of stress; his name is
perhaps more closely than any other
connected with the name of Washing
ton. Let the president of France and
all Frenchmen be assured of the senti-
ment of amity and gratitude by all
Americans"
Comte de Chambrun followed with a
brief address of thanks on behalf of the
Lafayette family.

OFFERED TO SURRENDER
Insurrection South of Cavite Is
Failing to Pieces.
REBELS ARE DEMORALIZED
General Otis Insists That 10000 Men
Are All That He Needs-Has No
Need OF an Increased
Army.

Manila, May 30-5:15 p. m.-Aguln-
aldo is apparently unable to reorganlze
instruction in Cavite province under
direction of General Toas, who is said
to have recently offered to surrender TO
Americans if he received promise OF
pardon. The Filipinos under Toias are
wholly demoralized and are suffering
greatly from scarcity of food. There
have practically been no hostilities for
several days. General Lawton has in
spected the lines from Caloocan to
Pasay. Two small gunboats have sail
ed for Cebu, where it is believed they
will have strong influence in keeping
order.
Washington, May 30.-The Post to-
morrow will say: General OTIS has in
formed the war department that he Will
be satisfied if the army under his COM
mand is kept at a maximum of 10000.
The president will give him this num-
Der.
The situation in the Philippines was
the subject of an extended conference
to-day between the president and Adju-
tant General Corbin. In view of the
more or less alarming reports which
have been sent to the United States
that the president does not share in the
anxiety which these dispatches have
created.
General Otis has kept in close touch
with the authorities here and if he was
in a tight position, which the press re-
ports seem to indicate, he would
not hesitate about making his dilemma
known. On the contrary, the adVices
received from him show that he is not
in need of a largely increased army.
He has cabled that press reports of ac-
tivity of the insurgents south of Manila
have been greatly exaggerated and lie
thinks 10000 men will be amply abund-
ant to meet all requirements. When
the volunteers return, some $4,000 Will
remain, or 5000 less than the number
estimated as necessary by General Otis.
The reinforcements now en- route to
Manila, or under orders to depart, will
bring the total regulars up to the re-
quired figure, but as there will be con-
siderab BILE loss from sickness it is pro-
posed to decrease the companies now
stationed in garrisons in this country
to the minimum and increase the COM
panies in the Philippines to the maxi
mum. 1t is believed this arrangement
will give General Otis all the men he
requires without disarranging the
army, as it is at present distributed.
1t can be stated on authority that
should General Otis ask for an add-
tional force there will be no enlarge
ment of the army, not even to the ex-
tent of recruiting the $4,000 natives pro-
vided for in the army reorganization
bill which passed the last congress.

Plague Nav Complicate 1t.

Hong Kong, May 30.-The plague is
likely to complcate the homecoming
of Admiral Dewey. Various govern
ments have already declared severe
quarantine regulations against all
Egyptian, Red Sea ports and Hong
Kong, where the fresh cases and the
number of deaths have nearly doubled
in the past week, the new cases num-
bering 143 and the deaths 1874.
BY the time Admiral Dewey arrives
at the Mediterrean his ship, the Olym-
pia, having been so long out from Hong
Kong, if there are no cases aboard,
she will probably be regarded as i'm
mune and the inspectors will pass her
without delay.
