MORE SHOTS MUST BE FIRED TO SUBDUE THE FILIPINO lNSUR-
 GENTS. GEN. OTIS BISGUSTED.
For Aggressive Tactics, Gen IaWton Trying to Head Off Escaping
 Rebels.

Washington, May 5.-The war de- partment is satisfied from the dis patches received from Gen. Otis yesterday that the American com mander nas pRB aside the insurgent temp0rizing over peace and has turned hls attent tiou to most a9- gressive tactics. The wisdom of this course was fully approved by of1c .als here who have foreseen that the rebels needed further ehastlse- ment in order to bring them 10 a realizing sense of tHair position. The early dispatches fan Gen. Otis clearly defined the genKraI plan of his latest movements He is moving in two main columns, Gen. MaeAr- thur pursuing straight forward over a nine mile stretch of bounty be- tween Calumfit, and thR latest rebel stronghold, Saa Feenaado, ard Maj. Gen. Iawton direetidg strong force under Col. Sumaei. to prevent the insurgents from retreatihg from San FerDan6o into the mount tains to the north.
 ybe later dispatches slowed there had been hot work in the execu hon of this movement, particularly in Gen. MacArthur's advance on San Fernando. The defeat of Luna al San Tomas and the scattering of the insnrgent forces leaves AlaeArtbur four miles from San Fernando with clear road before him. He will take the city today, accord ng to Gen. Otis plan The taking of towns is no longer Hooked upoa by the authorities here as of chief mo- ment, the main consideration being to intercept the insurgents.
 Gen. Lawton's movement north ward today to Mansia is designed to keep a body of American troops to the north of the rebels and between them and their hne of retreat to the mountains. 4 successful execution of this move will leave the iasur- gents well surrounded on the north though there is a stretch of about seven miles from Mamsia 10 the Rio Grande river along which the rebels are retiring. If the rebels do succeed in getting into the mountains, war department officials believe they cannot continue orgar- ized resistance as the mountain localities afford much less oppor- tunities for spstenaace than the rice lands along the foothills and bottoms. The authorities here are well satisfied with the manner in which our forces are placed.

Letters from the People.

Letters from the People.
Mr.. Editor:
The fire in New Iberia last week
has demonstrated the fact that
there is no facility at none of the
towns on the railroad to easily and
quickly place the steam engine
upon the cars, and to unload them,
as was experienced here and at
New Iberia.
When the fire was raging fierce
ly in New Iberia and our steam
engine asked for, our Mayor went
to the railroad yard to see how it
was possible to put the engine up
on the cars, but found the Oil
Works platform full with lots of
coal in the way, the depot plat
form was also full Of freight, and
it was almost impossible to load
the engine without much labor
and much risk, so it was thought
best to take the engine to New
Iberia by land, losing fully half
an hours time. We also noticed
the time lost by the Jeanerette
engine in getting it off the cars,
because there was no place suita-
bic for that purpose.
Would it not be good idea for
the towns on the railroad, such as
Franklin, Jeanerette, New Iberia,
Lafayette, st. Martinville, Breaux
Bridge to build a special platform
for the purpose of loading and un-
loading the steam engine, SO that
one town could Immediately assist
another in case of serious fire.
Some time ago Jeanerette need
ed assistance, last week it was
New Iberia, and much valuable
time was lost only for lack of ac-
comodstion.
The railroad people have always
responded promptly for the use of
a train in such cases, and we can
always expect their timely help,
now, let us have the platforms.

USUAL COMPLAINTS ARE MADI

HAVANA, June Ex-Governor General

missioner for Cuba at Washington

Those who believe that the policy
followed by General Gomez is wise
one-and they include q majority of
the most prominent Cubans in Havana
are much pleased with this appoint
ment, considering it just reward Of
years of faithful service. On the other
hand the former members Of the mill.
tary assembly and those who always
oppose everything the government does
complain bitterly, saying that the ap-
pointment is an intentional insult, on
the ground, as they allege, that Seno1
de Quesada is traitor to the zeal inter
ests of the island, which will.not be
safe in mis- hands. They assert also that
he is an American in his ideas, holding
views which are not suited to Cuba.
