IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The Situation Is Satisfactory to War
Department. omcinIH--Youns Re-
ceIves an Appointment.

Washington, Dec. Washington
officials are very much gratified at the
existing situation in the Philippines.
The insurgent army, which dominated
the northern part of the island up to
November 5, when the American cam
paign began, has disappeared; Ameri-
can garrisons are established at more
important points, promising peace in
the surrounding territory, and the gen
eral condition has so improved that
Gen. Otis considers it feasible to open
all the ports of northern Luzon to trade.
Gen. Otis will now turn his attention
to the rebels south of Manila, and, it is
expected, will begin active operations
against them in few days. Just what
the strength of the insurgent force in
southern Luzon is the authorities are
unable to say, but it is likely many of
the insurgents under Aguinaldo in the
north have joined the rebels in the
south. The authorities would be glad
to know that their conclusion is cor
rect, for in the south there will be a
good opportunity to cut off the armed
tlllpinos, and if a large number could
be captured at one time it would mean
the death-blow of the revolution.
Aguinaldo has not yet reached the
southern territory, but is believed to
be in the northern mountains, trying
to elude the American columns. which
are securing the country. Aguinaldo
is undoubtedly working his way south,
in order to gain command of a large
force.
A foreign officer, who is familiar with
the Filipino methods of fighting, said
that the government should not be too
certain the rebellion in northern Luzon
had been quelled. Before the war with
the United States Spain had expert
enced no difficulty in sending columns
from one end of the island to the other,
but the natives organized guerrilla
bands and continued the war, and the
greatest difficulty was met in suppress
ing them, peace usually being secured
by liberal promises. This officer said
the policy of garrisoning important
points would tend to minimize guerrilla
work, but he believed that until Agui-
naldo was captured or killed the war
would continue.
Manila, Dec. 26.-Gen. Young has
been appointed military governor of
the provinces of northwestern Luzon,
with headquarters at Vigan. His COM
mand includes the Thirty-third infan-
try, under Col. Luther r. Hare, and
the Third cavalry. He will establish
permanent stations at San Fernando
and Laoag, with outposts wherever
needed. The Sixteenth infantry will
proceed to Aparri, garrisoning such
towns as may be deemed necessary in
the provinces of Cagayan, Isabella and
Nuevo Vizcaya, of which Col. Hood has
been appointed military governor.
Gen. Young and Col. Hood are estab-
fishing civil municipal governments,
and the ports in northern Luzon will
be opened for trade about January /.

AS soon as President Kruger had is
sued his warlike ultimatum, u certain
faction of Queen Victoria's gallant
army indulged in all sorts of vain
glorious predictions. Gen. White, they
said, would march leisurely from
Pietermaritzburg, the Natal capital.
where he was stationed, up to Pretoria;
and Gen. Foresier-Walker, commander
In chief at Cape Town, was to lead his
hosts to he same point, by way of
Bloemfontein. Both expeditions, as
severated the military prophets, would
reach the Boer capital at about the
same time. Uncle Paul Kruger after
having been duly humiliated, was to be
sent to ST. Helena, there to die of 4
broken heart or some other equally
touching ailment.

different from that in vogue In
other European states or in our own
country a short description of ii, based
upon information furnished by an Eng
lish army officer, may prove of general
interest.
The military forces of Great Britain
are divided into three categories- The
first line, the second lire and the third
line. The first line isavailable for serv-
ices in all quarters of the globe, and is
composed of the regular army, the army
reserve and the militia reserve. The
two latter are utilized to bring the reg
ular forces to war footing and arc
called out by proclamation in case of
national danger, and are liable to serve
anywhere, at home or abroad. The Sec
ond line is composed of the militia, and
is available for home defense and for
garrisoning foreign stations. 1t is q
thoroughly reliable force, he's been
called to arms on seven different occa-
sions, and has never failed the country.
The third line is composed of yeomanry
and volunteers, and is called on only
as last resource. 1t is available only
for home defense, and is never called
out except when the United Kingdom
itself is in danger of attack.
On January l, 1899, the British army
reserve, composed of regular soldiers,
consisted of nearly 10000 men, of whom
$4,000 were under 35 years of age, 10000
were between the ages of 30 and 35, and
1000 between 35 and 40. The caalry re-
serve consisted of $500 men, the artil-
lery of 1O,5OO, the engineers of 5000, the

all England believed that the mere ar
