HEMNIN0 Nv AGUINALDo.

A few days ago II appeared that the
American forces were in fair way
to surround Agunaldo and the force
under his immediate command. which
Is supposed to constitute the main body
of the insurgent army. The DISPOSE
tion Of the commands of Lawton and
Macarthur had this in view and there
seemed to be favorable promise of its
accomplishment, but later adviccs show
that the insurgent leader was not
where our military commanders sup
posed him to be and now he is Thought
to be located at n point nearer the
mountainous district and where 1T will
he more difficult to reach him. There
is, of course, no certainty about this,
but the American forces are to be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible
toward the place where Agulnaldo IS
supposed to have transferred his cap
ital, perhaps only to find when they
reach there that they have been on the
wrong trail or that the willy Filipino
again shifted his headquarters to an
other remote and perhaps less accessi-
bic position.
1t is apparent that the insurgents
keep much better informed regarding
the plans and movements of the Ameri-
can forces than our military command
ers do of the operations and plans of
the enemy. This has been the case
from the beginning of the war. We
recall no instance in which the Amer
lean forces have taken the insurgents
unawares, while a number of times
the enemy has made unexpected at
tacks upon our troops and shown them
selves where there was thought to be
complete security from their opera
tions. The facilities of the insurgents
for obtaining knowledge of the Amer !
lean movements have enabled them 10 !
generally defeat the strategy of our !
military commanders, so that the latest |
failure of their plans, while disappoint- !
ing, is not surprising. In this attempt |
to hem in Aguinaldo we have lost n
considerable number of men and ap-
parently accomplished nothing decisive,
but perhaps something has been learned
lGOLu tlle tudl Cdl Dt lulieu
to profitable account as the campaign
progresses. One thing must be ad-
mitted and that is that the insurgents
have shrewd and vigilant leaders.
1t may be that the movement now
in progress for hemming in Aguinaldo,
which General Otis informs the War
department is to be pushed as rapidly
as conditions permit, will be successful.
If so it will be decisive blow to the
and probably put an end
to serious resistance. The crushing of
the force under Agunaldo and even
the capture of that leader would not
necessarily, however, terminate all hos
tilities. There would be an end, per-
haps, to organized and sustained war
fare, but there would be an after
crop of annoyance from guerrilla bands
and brigands which would necessitate
the employment for some time of a
number of troops. Gen
eral Funston Is of the opinion that ma
tive soldiers could be used for this
work, but this is doubtful. With the
army General Otis now has and the
for campaigning steadily i'm
proving, there should speedily be re-
suits that will assure an early termina.

Why is it that the new Council Bluffs
street railway line has taken posses
sion of streets in the city of Omaha
without saying: "By your leave" If
the mere leasing of the tracks of the
existing company confers upon the new
company no rights or privileges, Why
does the company consider these privi-
leges as a franchise for which it
doubtless has been compelled to pay
literally? Does it stand to reason that
the Omaha Street Railway company,
which claims IA monopoly of the streets
occupied by its tracks, would grant
trackage and rightof-way facilities for
the mere asking?

Bigness of Uncle Sans Crops.

1t Is estimated that at least 1000 900
bushels of apples will be exported from the

There will be more than two apiece for

FLEETS MAKE PEACE.
So Said Emperor William to an
American Congressman.

BERLIN, Aug. 9.-According to the
Berliner Tageblatt, Emperor William re
ceived Congressman George Edmund
Foss, of Illinois, and United States Ma
val Attache Behler on board the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern, last Wednesday, at
Kiel, granting them an audience OF three
quarters of an hour.
His majesty began the conversation by
expressing a belief that Admiral Dewey
had not used the words attributed to him,
suggesting the possibility of war be-
tween the United States and Germany.
Mr.. Foss replied that he had just come
from Triest, where he had long talks
with Admiral Dewey, who had showed
no hostility towards Germany.
The emperor then declared his convic-
ton that German-Americans would al
ways remain friendly. Germans in Amer
lea, he said, would be peaceful towards
Germany. Germany had in the past pre-
served the peace of Europe, but the fu-
ture of nations lay in the ocean. The
increase of the German fleet involves no
threat to any other power, for the strong
er a nation is at sea the more others will
hesitate to begin hosti1ities. The in
crease of navies, therefore, is in reality
the best peace conference.
The Tageblatt does not Vouch for YER
bal accuracy Of the foregoing, but asserts
that it is faithful reproduction of the
gist of the emperor's remarks.

A BRUTAL SHOW,

The judicial farce which is now in
progress in Rennes France, is little short
Of an outrage on humanity. There is
doubtless not a single official in any way
concerned with the prosecution of Drey-
fus that is not convinced of his entire
innocence. The world outside of France
is so convinced. Indeed, the French ma
ton, as a whole, has laid aside its doubts
on the subject and only those who con-
tinue blinded by ignorance or prejudice
oppose this mans liberation.
Then why prolong what the counsel for
Dreyfus so aptly terms "a wretched
jol1e?" The explanation is found in the
French fondness for the dramatic, and in
the effort of French authority to blind
the people to the present demoralized
condition of the French military system.
