EASIER FEELING AZ WASHINGTON.

Washington. Feb. S.-There was ar
| almost complete release today, from
the tension under which the rapid oc.
curence of events in the Philippines
had held the officials of the admins
tration since the first startling news
from Manila, Saturday night This was
brought about through the receipt of a
bulletin from Gen. Otis, summing up
the latest results of the fighting he has
had with the natives. The statement
that Aguinaldos influence had been de-
stroyed and that the Filipino leader
was seeking for a cessation of HOSTILE
ties and for conference, was most ac-
ceptahle and was interpreted as an ad-
mission that he had realized his terri
bic mistake.
1t is entirely improbable that he will
be able to restore anything like the
status QUO, or to obtain anything like
the same terms as We're possible, last
week. No one here row knows Just
what Gen. Otis intends to impose in
the way of terms
Secretary A!ger. this afternoon, re-
peated the statement of yesterday, that
he had given the general no instruc-
son for giving any. He realized, he
said. that Gen. Otis. being on the
ground and having proved his fitness,
was in better position to deal with the
situation than any one in Washington
Should the general ask permission
therefore to do anything. he would I'm
mediately be granted permission.
Should he ask for instructions on
any point" said Secretary Alger. he
will be told to exercise his own discre-
ton
In this view of the case it will be
seen that no one here can tell at pres
ent how Gen. Otis will act toward
AGuinaldo's application. But the opin-
ion is expressed by men here who know
Gen. Otis experience with the Indians
that he will make the laying down of
arms the condition of dealing with the
insurgents at all, and if that condition
is met. of course it will mean a speedy
termination of the rebellion.
Gen. Otis dispatch is as follows:
Manila, Feb. s. 1899.
Situation rapidly improving. Recon-
noisance yesterday to south several
miles to Lagunade bay to southeast
eight miles. driving struggling insur-
gent troops in various directions, en-
countering no decided Opposition:
army disintegrated and natives return
ing to villages displaying white flags.
Near CaloOcan. six miles north,
enemy made a stand behind entrench-
ments. charged by Kansas troops, led
by Col. Funston. Close encounter, re-
sulting in rout of the enemy with
heavy loss. Loss to Kansas. I4ieuten-
ant Afford killed, six wounded.
"On the fourth Aguinaldo issued fly
ing proclamation charging Americans
with initiative and declared war; SUM-
day issued another calling all to resist
foreign invasion: hisinfluence through
out this section destroyed: now applies
for cessation of hostilities and con-
ference: have declined to answer.
Insurgents expectation OF rising in
city on night of fourth unrealized. Pro-
vost marshal general with ad-
mirable disposition of troops defeated
every attempt. City quiet. business
resumed. natives respectful and cheer
full. Fighting qualities of Americans
to all inhabitants.

tbs f. Burnam, from the district COM
posed of the counties of Madison, EStill

appointed by President Grant Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury. Mr..

president of a bank at Richmond: has
the degree Of Ii. d. from Centre Col
lege; one OF his sons is member of the
Court Of Appeals and another has
served In the Lower House Of the Leg

The mass meeting called for Sunday
afternoon to protest against seating
Congressman Roberts, drew many
people to the Court House. The
meeting was opened by short talk
by Rev. Massee, who, i'm few we'll
chosen words stated it's object. He
was followed by Mr.. w. /. Williams,
who proceeded to give his views upon
the seating of Roberts, and told the
audience that he believed Roberts was
entitled to the seat, and would be
given the certificate and seated, but
that the thing to do was to petition
congress to unseat him because of con-
duct unbecOming congressman, etc.
DR.. Mckee followed and said he was
opposed to seating Roberts, but did
not know for certain that congress
could do SO, after they had once ad-
mitted him. 1t was agreed to make
the petition read that 'H congress
has the power" etc. A rising vote
was taken upon the petition offered
and everybody stood up. The meet
ing then adjourned, and we presume
the fate Of the man Of wives is hang
ing in the balance. The music, under
the skillful direction Of Mrs. Patter-
son, was beautiful and the audience
enjoyed It very much. The solo by
Mr.. Richard Ward was especially fine,
and we heard many compliments pass
ed upon 1t.

About The Railroad.

Col. L. Hubble, right of way agent
for the Southern Railway, came home
yesterday to spend Thanksgiving. He
tells THE RECORD that he has secured
the right of way for the extension ON
over One-half the route, and will re-
turn to complete the work Immediate
ly. He has accomplished his work
with remarkable rapidity, and the
Southern certainly selected the right
man in the right place when they Sc
cured him. He tell us he recently re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Wells, the
chief engineer, urging him to press
the work, as they wanted all the Ire
liminaries completed by January l, SO
they could be able to let contracts for
construction by January 10, and COM
plete the road from Burgin to Jellico
during next year. The surveyors on
the Danville and Stanford route are
still at work and have reached point
in Pulaski county, near Woodstock,
and claim they have a good line in ev-
cry respect. They will connect with
Mr.. ReSpaSS' line at Dallas, Pulaski
county.
