Aguinaldo seems to keep a watchful
eye. on events. AS soon as it became
known what the fate of the Philippines
was, even before the treaty of Paris
was signed. he appointed commission
ers TO the United States.
These commissioners" said Iieuten-
ant Calkins of the LIST Montana, who is
a returning passenger on the Doric,
were to have come by this vessel. But,
for some reason, they were delayed and
they will come on the Nippon Maru.
Just what they expect to do is not
known very definitely, but they hope to
get some sort of recognition for the
Philippine government. They want the
CeSSlOll Oh SCllle Oh the ISLANDS OF the
Philippine group to the Filipinos or an
indemnity of some kind. They are alive
to the situation and want to make the
most of it,
when we left the naval and mill
tary forces were just commencing work
on a plan to unite all the islands and
the principal places in the Philippines
by cable and telegraph. This plan will
involve the laying of some cable and
stringing of considerable Wire A requi-
sition for the needed material has al
ready been sent to Washington. There
is some material on hand enough to
make quite beginning of the work.
THE soldiers are becoming acclimat-
ed. There is still a good deal of sick
ness, but it is of kinds for which the
soldiers individually are responsible.
At first everybody had fever, due to
the climate Few escaped some touch
of it. That has abated now and health
rests with the individuals"
