q resolution that there shall be no legislation
concerning the Philippines until the insurrec-
tion Ia ended BY absolute and unconditional
surrender, that will be the death blow to the
insurRsnt cause"
In other words the people at homo can do as
much to restore peace In these islands as all
the military force that could be sent here. II
becomes Q question now whether loyal. patri-
otto Americans will rebuke the traitors who
have been assisting the country's armed
enemy.

The settlement everywhere depends upon
the condition Of affairs In Luzon. All the
southern islands are awaiting the result OF
the tight here and will abide by it. The
Inhabitants OF Mindanao have Just made
proposition that tho American ofloials should

be understood that In case Aguinaldo wins
his fiGht In Luzon the Americans will evacuate
Mindanao and allow Aguinaldo to run the

GEN. OTIS IMPORTANT CIVIL WORK.
After all. the military question Is perhaps not
the most important. The question Of esta blish-
ing civil government ia far moro complex
and requires the most careful action In order
to avoid mistakes. The relations Of Church
and State afford oil manner Of pitfalls and
bring out many points that require the most
careful work and profound study. The condi-
tons under Spanish rule were such that 1t 10

which was covered with letters and papers)

Military operations are moro spectacular and
naturally catch the attention OF the greater
number Of people In the United States first.
but tho real problem here 10 the one
OF civil government. A tremendous amount
OF work has been done on this point Courts
have been established and the intricate and
perplexing question OF schools and
COLLEGES and their relation with the
State has been taken under consideration.
There is also under discussion the appoint
ment OF notaries. the question OF civil mar

tions. all Of which demand early adjudication.

Special Cable Dtspatch 10 THE sur.
BERLIN. Sept. 23-The National Zeittino, COM
mentinR on the Transvaal situation, says the
British Cabinet has been assured that the com =
pications will not spread beyond South Africa.
The members OF the Cabinet. the paper says.
are averse to war. Great Britain will preserve
everywhere her big fleets and. II necessary. can
use considerable land forces.
The gravity OF the situation. so far as the
Beers are concerned. is due to the general feel
ing that In case the trouble is protracted and
bloodshed ensues the British position in China
and before Constantinople and elsewhere will
not be disturbed By this 1t is understood
that none OF the Continental powers will inter-
fere between Great Britain and the Transvaal.
Judging from present indications there Is no
probability OF such contingency arising.
