Golden Medical Discovery increases the

NEW YORK. oct, ga special to
the Herald from Washington says;
Prompt declaration by congress in ia
vor Of asserting and maintaining COM
plete sovereignty over the Philippines
Mt whatever cost and in favor Of the
most liberal kind Of self-government
when the msurrection ends is what the
president wants II is also what the
Philippine commissioners want. There
is n great deal OF work for the presi-
dent to do on his message and for the
peace commissioners to do on their
work, but this one important conclu-
sion is certain,
Your correspondent has excellent au-
thcrity for the statement that the pres
ident intends TO make specific recon-
mendations to congress in favor Of
holding the Philippines permanently
end as % the form of civil government
to take the place of the military as soon
as the Tagals now in rebellion surren-
der. II is authoritatively stated that
there will be no halfway measures
suggested for the purpose of side-track-
ing the Philippine question until after
the next campaign. The president will
face the issue squarely and give con-
gress the best information possible from
his commissioners and other sources
to support the position he has as
sumed.
It is now only a question of the spe-
cific kind of government the president
will recommend. He will be governed
in his decision by the views Of the Phil
ipplne commissioners, whose final de-
cision will be the result Of the delibera-
( tlons they are here for now,
The first meeting of the commission
will be held in the state department to-
morrow, but they will probably not be-

when two British garrlsons 20 miles
apart were menaced by a greatly supe-
rlor force.
Similar unsoientihc tactics based on
political considerations have involved
the defense Of Mafeking. on the western
border, when military reasons are valid
for the concentration Of forces at KIM

them. after two defeats and third

driven back the British and broken up
the first line Of trenches,
The British wounded have been left
IN their hands, and they must have
also secured possession OF a considera-
hle quantity OF supplies and military
stores at Glencoe. The Beers, without
winning single battle or skirmish, can
claim the credit of having forced Yule
to retreat, and there is logic enough
in the situation to justify feeling OF
elation.
Generals Yule and Whites columns
were within three miles Of each other
and virtually in touch at o'clock yes

letIn issued late In the evening. Ru-
mors of a great battle were silenced
by this official report, since General
White knew nothing of an engagement,

that the Boer attack has failed and
that British valor and skill have tri-
umphed. The Boer stategy is consid-
cred excellent.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2o.--A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says;
It cannot be doubted, whatever may
be the attitude OF retlcenoe or even de-
nlal on the part OF officials, that the
superfiuous preparations Of the army

Cape. with the activity that prevails,
point to expectation Of possible serious
complications with foreign powers,

en- into account by those seeking to
forecast the future. Those most htl-
matc with the high officials Of both
countries state that the petulant be-
kavlor OF section OF the German press
toward England, while resented by the
German foreign office, is derlded by
the governing classes OF both countries.
Germany and England are acting to-
gether, and hope to carry the moral
support OF America with them. Mean
while the Channel fleet Is bound for
Gibraltar, and the remarkable activ-
lty at the dock yards points to the
mobilization Of another flying squadrn

real nature of General Yule's move
ment from Glencoe. It Is described as
a scientific change Of base, brilliant
strategic maneuver, a reconnaissance in
face of the enemy's position, and pru-
dent measure of military concentration
