directing him TO communicate to the
insurgents the information that the
treaty Of Paris had been ratified by
the Senate md TO continue his opera
tions against them, so as to promptly
crush the revolt against American
sovereignty.
The cruiser Boston, which left Ma
Mia Monday for lloilo, ostensibly to
relieve the Baltimore, carries with her
instructions to Brigadier General Mil
Ter to at once occupy lloilo with or
without consent Of the natives there.
In adopting such a vigorous policy
against the insurgents the President
is actuated by "A desire to bring TO an
end with all dispatch the rebellious
movement Aguinaldo has started
against this government. IT was de-
termincd upon as the result of the
conference at the White house Sunday
night and at u further conference in
the executive mansion to-day, which
was participated in by the President,
Secretary Alger and Secretary Long.
At this conference instructions to
General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey
were prepared along the lines n
Gated. These officers were directed to
cooperate in the campaign and the
President assured them OF his con-
dence in their ability and discretion.
Approaching the impossibility of opcr.
ating n campaign from Washington,
General Otis has been notified hat the
Presiden. leaves in his hands the con-
duet OF the war, but he is directed TO
act vigorously.
IL is the confident belief of the Pres
idcnt that as 500 as Aguinaldo learns
of the ratification of the treaty he will
appreciate the futility of a conflict
with the United States and will be
willing TO make terms of surrender.
II is assumed that Agoncillo, who is in
Montreal, has taken measures to in
form Aguinaldo OF the action OF the
Senate, but General Otis will be ahead
of him and will send the information
into the insurgent lines without delay.
Secretary Long, for the, information
of Rear Admiral Dewey, cablcd to that
Official the simple message, Treaty

" Z Is possible, OF course, that Aguin-
aldo may continue fighting, in which
event he will be shown no quarter,
but will be rclentlessly pursued until
he Is forced 10 surrender. President
Mckinley does not intend to show any
vaccilation in this matter.
No apprehension is felt rs to the re-

Callao. There are said to be about
5000 natives defending the town, but
they are badly armed and 1t is not be
licvcd any great difficulty will be ex
~perienced in driving them out.
AS to the future policy OF the al

President has determined to take M

Beyond advising the different vessel
