10 the dark as 70 what is really going
on in the field. His dispatches do not
tally with the press accounts or with
the reports Of Lawton. Macarthur and
Young. Gen. Otis still evinces belief in
the early capture Of Aguinaldo because
he is able to send daily reports OF the
taking Of a few scattered Filipinos
with brass cannon or two, or some
thing OF that kind
II Gen Otis Is right in his conclusions
Aguinaldo may be forced to give bat
tie today or tomorrow or any time, but
the men who are leading the fighting
do not attempt to conceal their fears
that the willy Filipino has again slipped
through the skillfully drawn mesheI
which were thought certain to hold him
tight 1t may be that one OF the divis'

The Democrats Of Alabama are having
q lively contest among themselves. 1t
10 quite probable that Senator Morgan
will be defeated for reelection to the
U. 8. Senate. There are eight candi-
dates for the Senator's seat, and at
least two Of them have the advantage
Of him In the matter Of local organiza-
ton. Senator Morgan has got out Of
touch with the Democratic party ma
chine In that State because he has been
devotiug too much Of his attention to
larger national questions and not enough
TO the minor matters Of State interest
Ex.Gov. Oates has the advantage Of the
local organization consequent upon his
having been recently governor Of the

candidate, has q very perfect organiza-
