Not BE Relieved.
New York, March 11.-A dispatch to
the Journal from Washington says:
Dispatches were received near mid
night at the white house from Gen.
Otis advising the president of the sit
uation in the Philippine islands and of
the plan of his campaign to bring the
war to speedy close. Gen. Otis says
that while there is a disposition among
a great many of the Filipinos to ac-
cept the inevitable and to lay down
their arms, Aguinaldo and other lead
'ers are. counseling resistance to the
end. Gen. Otis thinks that under these
circumstances there is nothing to be
gained by diplomacy. He counsels the
abandonment of such apolicy, and says
that henceforth he will wage vigor-
Gus, persistent and aggressive cam
paign until the island of ,Luzonf has
been brought into complete subsection
to the United States. This policy is to
=: be pursued in all the other islands. The
work in the field will be under the di-
;rection of Gen. Lawton.

New York, March ia special to
the Journal from Washington says:
The government has decided to have a
great naval station at Manila. It is
proposed to build big docks there, to-
gether with fully-equipped machine
Shops so that the largest of our bat
tleships in Asiatic waters may be
locked and repaired there in case of
necessity without being compelled
either to return to San Francisco or
to rely upon friendly foreigners, who
could assist in times of peace, but
whose yards would be closed against
US in time of war. .Fsg
Dewey's Task Not Completed.
Washington, March 1.-THE state
ment can be made on the authority Of
the detail office of the navy department
that Admiral Dewey will not be re-
lieved at Manila until he chooses to
make application for such relief. So
far he has not given any intimation Of
a purpose to apply for relief in the
immediate future, and from the few
declarations he has let fall the depart
ment has every reason to believe that
he does not contemplate any such ac-
ton. Consequently there is no founda-
ton for the: story that Admiral Schley
or any other admiral has been selected
to take command of the Asiatic sta
ton. So r. -
