BoER sympntbizors in this country
are magnaminous enough that they
do not want Great Britain to be ruin
ed, wherefore they implore the Pres
ident to press upon her the arbitra-
ton she has refused in advance. 1t
is to be assumed Great Britain is
duly grateful, as the President doubt
less is, for the instruction offered as
20 his powers under the Peace Con-
vention--a convention, by the way,
which is not yet in force.

conference After the departure it
was more pc itiyely announced than
over before, by persons in position to
know, that the line will surely be
built next summey. The line is To-
Gated from Highland to Linden, on u
feasible route only 10 miles long. 4
strong sentiment was developed in
favor of short line from Linden to
this city. Some of the interesting
parties urge that a line of eight miles
or less toe constructed, that will cost
less than other routes suggested Of
easier grades, but four or five miles
longer

TO OCCUPY lLOILO.
That Is the Next Move In the Phil
ippine Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-Probably
within forty weight hours Gen. Miller
will have begun the attempt to occupy
1loilo, on the island Of Panay. No
specific orders on this score have been
sent him since the battle Of Saturday
and Sunday, nor has he been heard
from from recently respecting the mat
ter, but 1t was his known intention to
make this important movement as soon
as he felt that conditions warranted it,
and statements contained in the press
reports from Manila convince the Off
Gals here that Gen, Otis at last has
authorized the landing. The best indi-
cation of that determination was the
dispatch this morning from Manila of
the First regiment of Tennessee vol
unteer infantry for Manila. So long
as the massing Of insurgents around
Manila appeared to convey a serious
threat against its safety, Gen. OtiA felt
bound not to weaken his forces by
sending any additional troops to Iloilo,
but now that he has the insurgents
demorallzed he can proceed to carry
out his plan for the occupation Of the
principal city in the Philippine group
next to Manila. This movement might
nave been made some time ago but for
the necessity the commanding gen
eral was under Of withdrawing the
F1fty-first Iowa regiment from before
