London, March 2s.-The Philippine
campaign of late had rather lost inter
est for British readers, but there is now
an entire change. All the dispatches
are printed prominently and at length.
Most of the papers contained editorials
expressing admiration for the bravery
of the American troops and sympathy
with them in the difficulties they have
encountered. The general opinion is
that the American victories are not
conclusive since the Filipinos have not
yet learned the lesson of the hopeless
ness of resisting the United States.

West Bore the Brunt.

Washington, March 27.-As was to
have been expected, the western troops
bore the brunt of much of the severest
fighting and covered themselves with
glory.
The Third artillery seems to have
suffered much more heavily than the
Oregon regiment, which led the cas-
uality list. Dispatches received show
only two casualties in the Utah artil-
lery, both wounded, and none among
the Wyoming and Idaho troops. The
closing incident of Saturdays battle
was the capture of bridge near Tola-
popa by the Fourth cavalry, regulars,
under command of Captain Fred
Wheeler. The Utah artillery, with a
three-inch gun, under command OF Lieu
tenant Critchlow, at a range OF loo
yards drove 200 of the enemy from the
trenches to key in the river opposite
Tolapopa. In the cavalry charge six
cavalrymen were wounded.

It's Really Too Bad.

Mexico City, March 26.-Correa Es-
panol, the organ of the Spanish colony
here, publishes the following:
Civilization has disappeared from
Cuba with the disappearance of the
Spanish flag. No spectacle could be
more repulsive. The American soldiers
have converted the beautiful park
there into camp. There they eat and
drink and there they wallow freely like
hogs in the creek on summer day.

of the human race is the United States
writing in Cuba and the Philippines.

civilization has been taken by North

March 2s.-Insurgent papers received
here from Malolos show that Aguinaldo

into the belief that they are winning
great victories. All the recent engage

at various points and end their accounts

GENERAL OTIS PLANS.
How He Proposes TO Wipe Out General"
AguInAldo'a Army.


Washington, March 2o.-It is under
stood here that General Otis has so far
matured his plans Of campaign that
within q week or ten days he will be
able to begin a movement which is ex'
pected to mark the destruction OF
Aguinaldo's army. Although strag-
glers and fugitives may infest the IS
land of Luzon for some time, II is be-
lieved that when Otis has delivered his
next blow the insurgent army IS an
organization will have ceased 10 exist
The new movement, II is understood,
will be by land and water, although 1t
is not expected that the navy's part
in the program will be particularly
prominent, General Otis has procured
thirteen of the gunboats formerly
owned by the Spanish government,
and these are to play an important
part in the development Of the cam
paign. Many OF the troops which had
been engaged on the outer lines up to
the date of General Lawton's arrival
at Manila have been Withdrawn TO the
water front, and a complete organiza-
tion of the army is in progress.
The reinforcements now arriving at
Manila are being used to maintain the
strength of the lines running from
Manila to Pasig. established by Whea-
tons flying brigade. The next move
ment that is expected here is to be by
water. 1t is believed that Otis will
place a complete brigade on board yes
sells, steam rapidly northward and land
them beyond the insurgent headquar-
tiers at Malolas. II this movement sue
ceeds, as it should if made with rapid
ity, the insurgent army will find itself
completely penned in, with no oppor-
tunity for retreat. To the north will
be the flying brigade, to tho east La
guna de Bay, across which they will
be prevented from escaping by the
American gunboats now there; the
Pasig river to the south is well policed
by ironclads, and with strong line in
the position occupied by Wheatons
brigade will cut off any movement in
that direction, while to the west the
bay of Manila is closed by Dewey's YES
sells. 1t is hard to conceive how, if this
plan carries, the insurgents can longer
avoid decisive conflict, which must
end either in their breaking through
the American lines or in their surren-
der. 1t Is evident that Otis expects
the latter, for he has already advised
the war department that the insurrec'
tion cannot last much longer.

Getting Away From Dewey. Guns.

Washington, March 29.-From dis
patches received at the war department
IL would seem that the situation had
assumed the aspect of a chase, as the
insurgents are fleeing before the Ameri-
cans with diminishing inclinations to
make a stand. There is no lack of con-
tidence among officials here as to the
satisfactory outcome of the campaign.
Malolos, the insurgent capital, where
the assembly has been sitting and the
insurgent government has been in
operation, represents more to the in
surgents than any other place in the
Philippines, and little doubt is enter
tanned that they will make desper-
ate stand there.
The tactics of Aguinaldo are taking
him gradually beyond the range of
Admiral Deweys guns. While the in
surgents were at Malabon, on Satur-
day, they were within mile of the
water front and easily within range of
the feet. Malolos is about seven miles
back from the bay.
