CONFIDENT OF THE RESULT

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE news from
Manila came like a shock to the officials
here, for the administr though an
uneasy disposition prevailed in the Phil
ippines, had chung steadily to the hope
that by tact and patience actual fight
ing might be averted, and even those
public men who felt that hostilities
would follow should the treaty be rati-
fed and the United States attempt to
occupy the islands believed that Aguin-
aldo would not force the fighting when
the treaty of peace was in its most criti-
cal stage. Some senatorial opponents
of ratification Of the treaty adhere to
their position, but the general opinion
in Washington is that the news from
Manila insures the ratification of the
treaty.
First News From Dewey. .ye
The news of the beginning of another
war came from Admiral Dewey. No
word had been received by the other de-
partments up to nightfall. It seems to
be Dewey's fortune always to be able to
report favorable news, and like all of
his messages that have gone before this
cablegram told of the success Of the
American forces in the action It was
with deep regret, however, that the ad-
ministration learned that the insurgents
had forced the issue. It had hoped all
all along that they could be brought to
see the advantages of placing their
trust in the American people and rely
ing upon the president to deal justly
with. them.
Were Prepared for Trouble
While this was true the officials here
and the officers in Manila had not been
blind to the threat contained in the sit
uation there and ever preparation has
been made for just what occurred. It
is now acknowledged that the fear of an
outbreak in Luzon was the explanation
for the much commented on failure Of
General Miller to force landing at
noilo on the island Of Panay. It is be-
ieved that it was unknown to the in
surgents, but some of the American
warships were quietly moved into po-
sitions where they perfectly commanded
the insurgent< intrenchments and de-
fences and could shell them with effect
in case of an outbreak. The outposts
had been greatly strengthened, it is
said, by a judicious extension of the
lines in some directions and also by
taking summary measures to. prevent
the insurgents taking up positions and
organizing their forces.
One Flaw in Dewey's Dispatch.
Officials noted one little flaw in Dew.
eys dispatch in which he spoke of the
American forces as generally success.
full, 2 conveying just the least intima'
ton that at some points the result was
not as satisfactory as at others. It is in
ferred here that this might mean the
development of weakness at some of thu
more exposed points on the American
line, which might be easily explained
by the fact that the attack was made a
night, perhaps in places where the in
surgents could creep close up in thu
shelter of the tropical jungle that grow
nearly into the town Of Manila Ever.
confidence is felt, however, that Gen
eral Otis is master of the situation.

HOgtilities

H0gtilities.
MANILA, Feb. The Filipinos have
apparently reached the conclusion that
the Americans mean business now that
the barriers are removed, as there were
no further hostilities during the night
and no attempt was made to recover the
lost ground. It is possible. however.
that they are following the tactics they
employed against the spaniards and
will merely lie off q few days to recuper-
ate their forces before returning to the
attack.

ia number 21,648 men, and Of this
number about $4,000 are present for
duty. No one here knows the real
strength Of the insurgents opposed to

number are conflicting and none of
them comes from reliable sources. Still
the best belief of the authorities at the

Little Excitement Prevails.

New York, August IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Official
advlces received from Captain Edwin
Longnecker, commanding the cruiser New
Orleans, show the situation in santo Do
mingo to be less exciting than has been
currently reported Captain Longnecker
regards the condition of affairs such that
the New orleans and Machias may leave
Santo Domingo without danger to Amer
lean interests for the purpose OF obtaining
coal. If the situation were serious, de-
partment officials say he would have sent
the Machias to coal and upon her return
would have gone with the New Orleans.
This Is his dispatch, dated yesterday:
situation reported by the commander of
the Machas continues the same. Every
thing is quiet at Santo Domingo. Request
permission for New Orleans and Machias
to proceed to st. Thomas for coal or to
San Juan at my discretion"
The department disapproved the request
for permission to 90 to St. Thomas and
directed Captain Longnecker to proceed
to San Juan, where there is an ample sup
ply of ccal On the arrival OF the New
Orleans and Machlas at San Juan they
will assist in the relief work there.

Secretary Root, that we purpose to make
the new appointments without the aid of
political or personal influence" He re-
ferred to the next FIVE regiments which
are to be enlisted
Secretary Root Is determined that the
fall campaign shall end the Instruction
and that General Otis may have no ex-
cuse for failure to bring It to a close he
purposes giving him as large an army as
is thought necessary. The proposed new
regiments may be sent Immediately after
the ten volunteer regiments already en-
listed should the necessity for them be
demonstrated Should II be apparent
when these commands have been recruited
that OILS force is still insufficient to con-
troll the situation. recruiting will continue
until all OF the volunteers authorized by
congress have been enlisted.
The recruiting for the ten new regiments
continues, although they have their com
plement OF men, and the overflow may
serve as nucleus for the new regiments
It Is the expectation of the department
that enough for eighteen volunteer regi-
ments will be obtained by the middle OF
September.

A wOMAN's VIEW OF MAN.

Some men are as changeable as SIS bill.
The more horse sense man has ths
less he bets on the races.
No man would be conceted If he could
see himself as others see him
When a man starts out to cover his
tracks he makes lot of new ones
The man who is not too large for the
position he occupies is usually ito small
for it.
Some men resemble the bottom number
of fractions; the bigger they appear tne
less they really are.
A man spends enough time wondering
why his neighDors dislike him to make
himself agreeable to them.
When a woman takes a husband for bet
ter or for worse she nearly always finds
him worse than she expected.
There is plenty OF room in the world for
everybody, but lot of trouble arises
from the fact that there is always some
other fellow occupying the place you want.
