AS to the change in conditions wrought
by the ratification of the treaty today there
is a variance of views, and General Corbin
and Second Assistant Secretary Adee, of
the state department, were giving She mat
ter attention today with the idea of being
able to send full instructions for his future
guidance to General Otis Immediately. The
extreme view on one side is that until the
Spanish government ratifies the treaty it is
not of legal effect.
According to that view, therefore, the
United States government is estopped from
proceeding beyond their lines at Manila for
the time being. The other extreme view is
that the United States Is at liberty to do
just as 1t sees fit in the group of islands land
therefore will proceed to complete the mill
tary occupation of the islands. Perhaps
there is justification for the last view in
the fact that the Filipinos were Spanish
subjects nominaly when they broke the
terms of the protocol and thereby released
the United States from its observance,
The Medium View
TIE medium view and that which is like
ly to be followed is that General Otis is
justified in doing anything that Is neces-
sary to protect his army and all American
and foreign interests in Manila even though
this obliged him to assume the offensive
and to go outside of the old lines in pur-
suit of the insurgents. who may be seeking
to reorganize and recoup from their late
defeat with an intention of attacking again
or even threatening the Americans.
Secretary Long this evening said that
no additional orders had been sent to
Dewey and he did not anticipate that any
would be necessary just now. He had
been acting on the theory that the president
desired to follow the most liberal policy in
dealing with the Fiipinos and there was
no reason now to change that policy.
The Solace started from Norfolk at 8
o'clock this afternoon with supply of am
muntion and other needed stores for Dew
ey's fleet via the Suez canal, but it is not
the intention to send further naval REIN
forcements.

Manila have an abundant supply of smoke

Paine. Murphy 8 Co.'S Grain Letter

BY Private Wire to Paine. Murphy & Co.
Birmingham. April A.-The wheat market
opened easier in response to foreign ad-
vices and more favorable developments in
the winter belt. Continental markets were
stronger and caused some further covering
of sales. Last week receipts at the princi-
pal points compared as follows: Western
points ~ million against million the pre-
vious week and "a million year ago. Sea-
board half million against half million
previous week, and 1 million year ago.
Until prospects for next crop are more
fully determined, farmers are likely to
hold back. Corn was firm, owing to good
