there is need for her and the troops she
brings to General Otis.
There is nAhing in the situation at
Manila 10 cause alarm for the safety Of
the American troops I'm the opinion of
well informed administration officials.
Since General Otis cabled Saturday even
Ing to this effect. there has come no word
from him tending to qualify the state
ment In any sense. Admiral Dewey has
not been heard from further according
to Secretary Long. and from this alb
sence of positive news the officials draw

specting the reported landing OF foreign
marines at Manila not a word of con-

bluejackets each evening TO wet down the
British consulate. measure OF protec-
ton from fra during the intensely dry
season In the Philippines. and il is prob
able that this is the foundation for the
Madrid story OF a general landing.
The officials at the war department
were asked why General Otis had re-
fused TO recognize the commissioners
who had come to Manila from the in
eurgent headquarters at Malolos when
they came to seek peace. The reply was
that General Otis was acting with the
greatest OF propriety In this matter He
was careful not to commit his govern
ment TO any recognition OF Agunaldo
that would make a precedent. and then
there was always the best of reasons for
Withholding confidence In every act OF
the insurgents where the placing OF trust
would imperil American lives and In
terests. The Filipino insurgents would
have no difficulty in securing amnesty. II
is said IL they lay down their arms and
submit Internationally: for there Is TO
purpose on the part OF the American
commanders to wreak vengeance upon
a submissive foe. IN addition TO the
military reasons why General Otis should
be very cautious in entering into any en-
tangling negotiations with the insur-
gents there is also the ever present dan

A GREAT GAME.


That was a great game of polo be-
tween the Hartfords and the Provi-
dence Grays in Infantry hall last even
ing. The crowd of spectators was one
OF the largest that has ever witnessed
a polo match in this city, and stand
ing room only WAS the rule a long
time before the signal To begin play,
was sounded. The Grays won the
match by score of against 4 points,
and the home "rooters" went right
straight off their respective bases and
simply yelled without reason and with
out system.
The Providence team put the most
rapid rush work they have displayed
this season and their interference a.
all times was so strong as to worry
the visitors not little. The visitors,
however. were not slowS I'm their play,
They put up a strong defence and their
rush work was admirable. but did not
compare with that OF the home aggre-
CATION. At the goals the Hartford men
were particularly quick and effective
and on the whole, II was not their
fault that they did not win the game.

BOOK TRUST
A Hot Reply to a Criticism Of the
Reform Proposal.
Senator Days Paper States the Tfutf

The text book trust that seeks q
monopoly OF furnishing hlgh-Dilced
text books for the public schools Of
Oregon, will make a hot fight against
the proposed revision Of the school
laws OF the state. Senator'S DAILY and
MulGey are practical educators, een-
Gated men who know the evils OF the
present text book system, and they
will deal the trust some hard blows.
