officially disclaimed speaking for any
one but himself, the statements that he

Will Make the Laying Down OF
Arms the First Condition
for a Conference.
LATEST OFFICIAL DISPATCH
American Commander Asserts
ARuinaido's Influence Has
Been Destroyed.
Fighting Qualities of Our Men
Proved a Revelation to-
the Inhabitants.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-There is an
almost complete release of the tension
under which the rapid current of events
in the Philippines has held the officials
of the administration since the first
startling news from Manil. Saturday
night. This was brought about through
the receipt of bulletin from General
Otis summing up the latest results Of
the fighting he has had with the natives.
The statement that Aguinaldo's intia
ence had been destroyed and that the
Filipino leader was seeking for cessa-
ton of hostilities and for conference
was most acceptable and was interpre-
ted as an atilnisS.ui, a. he had
Realised HIS Terrible Miatake.
It is entirely improbable that he will be
able to restore anything like the status
quo or to obtain anything like the san4u
terms as were possible last week. No
one here now knows just what General
OILS intends to impose in the way Of
terms. Secretary Alger repeated his
statement that he had given the general
no instructions since the battle and saw
no reason for giving any. He realized.
he said. that General Otis, being on the
ground, having proved his fitness, Was
in q better position to deal with the
situation than any one in Washington.
Should the general ask permission.
therefore, to do anything he would be
Granted Permission Immediately.
SHOULD he ask for instructions on
any point" said Secretary Alger, "he
wonld be told to exercise his own dis.
cretion."
In this view Of the case it will be seen
that no one here can tell how General
Otis will act toward Aguinaldo's appl1.
cation. But the opinion is expressed by
men here who know General OTIS expe.
rience with the Indians that he will
make the laying down Of arms the con.
dition Of dealing with the insurgents at
all. and If that condition is met OF
course it will mean speedy termina-
ton of the rebellion.

NO FEAR OF UPRISING.

The Provost Guard In Complete Control
Of Manila.
MANILA, Feb. 9.-The provost guard
is in absolute control of Manila. All
fears of an uprising in the city were dis.
PEELED by the promptitude with which
the outbreak was quelled on Monday
evening.
The Filipinos, accustomed to Spanish
methods, are constantly inquiring Of
the American soldiers when the PRISON.
ers are to he executed. They seem to b<
unable to understand that orders have
not already been issued for the execu.
ton. Indeed, headquarters is besieged
by women anxio US to plead for the lives
O. their relatives and friends. All il
quiet ut Cavlte.
Owing to the lack Of supplies in thu
adjacent village of San Rogue, Com.
m.ssary Milikcn has been authorized to
sell necessaries to those able to pay fol-
them and there will be distribution Of
free rations to others.
Pumping at the waterworks has been
resumed.
Tho American Advance Post.
General Hale's bri gade, consisting oil
the First South Dakota infantry, First
Colorado infantry and First Nebrasks
infantry, supported by battery of the
Utah light artillery, occupies the most
advanced post in the American line,
fully 10 miles from the base OF supplies.
It has an almost perfect position. Fou,
guns of the Utah artillery, stationed on
2 mill behind tho waterworks, command
the valley to the right and left and the
four hills in front. Two companies Of
the Colorados support the Twenty-third
infantry, which is encamped at tho
position three miles to the east. Out
posts line the ridge overlooking the val
ley, while sandbag entrenchment with
gun emplacements fronts the river.
Wednesday the Utahs dropped shells
into the villages across the river. The
natives disappeared among the hills, the
main body retiring to the right and thu
others scattering. Subsequently thu

American Troops Enjoy It.
The American troops are in excellent
spirits and appear to regard their 'expe
riences as q picnic rather than . sterr
reality. One burly Coloradoan, who as
sisted in the capture of the waterworks
said it reminded him of rabbit drive
on the Colorado plains.
