COULD TAKE MALALOS
By A Good Dash Of General
Wheaton's Brave Soldier
Boys, Only AQuestion of
A Short lime.

NEW YORK, March 2I.-The .Jour-
nails special contains an interview with
Admiral Dewey in which the famous
naval officer is made to say:
81 believe that the Taglos insurrec-
tion is already breaking up. General
Wheaton's column could take Malalos,
the insargent capital. by good DASH
The main part of the insurrectlon lies
between Manila and MalalOs.
"There is practicaily'no opposition to
the United States authority in the
southern islands. The natives there
hate the Taglos and are really anxious
to welcome the United States. The
Tsplos are half devil, half child. Era
dicate the devil, you have only the
child to govern.
1.-The strength of the enemy has
been greatly overestimated. The 1u-
surgents are finding out that in war
fare, as in great many other things
the power of money is almost irresist-
ible. If the Spanisrds put down an
insurrection here, surely we can do
the same. We are strong enough to
hold these islands without foreign al
lance. With the Oregon. Iowa, Mon
terey, and Monadnock We could face
any possible complication.
