Wages Raised In Fall River.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
Fall River, Mass, Dec. 1.-THE wages of
cotton mill operatives were increased 10 per
cent. to-day, instead of per cent. the
figures agreed upon at former conference.
This decision was the outcome of the notice
Of NJ. c. d. Borden, who announced two
weeks ago that the wages of his help will be
increased 10 per cent. Operatives in other
mills had virtually agreed to accept per
cent but when Mr.. Borden's announcement
was made they renewed their demands for 10
per cent. increase. which to-day goes into
effect.

and that their request for permission TO
confer with the American commits sions
indicated that their real object was 10
secure peace on the best terms which
they could get.
IL was because Otis believed this 10 be
the case that he agreed to suspend ag-
gressive campaigning until he learned
the definite result OF the meeting be-
tween the Fflipinos and American com
missioners.
But. while Otis has stopped active
fighting, he has not for a moment re-
laxed his grip on the situation. All his
troops are placed in the most favorable
locations. His positions are being
strengthened and everything is in readi-
rrys 10 gu forward and utpHt out ONE final,
crushing blow 10 the rebels in case the
meeting does not bring peace.
For days the energies OF TIE American
commanders have been devoted to per-
fecting their arrangements for dealing
this blow 1t Is chiefly because Aguin-
aldo realized that this crushing on
slaught was inevitable that he sent his
latest envoys TO seek for peace. He
realized that there was no hope for him,
and for this reason the American Off
GERS are more disposed than atany other
time to believe that the rebel envoys
really mean peace this tln,e
But III events should show that they do
not. General Otis will have no more tenn
porizing. He cannot afford to permit
any. even if he were SO inclined. The
rainy season will be here in 10 days or
two weeks, and the operations OF the
American forces would have TO be aban-
doned TO large extent. This makes IL
imperative that the Filipinos take their
choice at once, and II the meeting says
more war. then the word will be "for-
ward" and within the next "a hours
Aguinaldo's followers may expect such
a smashing, crushing onslaught as will
effectually crush the rebellion.
