PRESIDENT SATISFIED
With the Progress Made by Genera
Otis In the Philippines.

With the Progress Made by General
Otis In the Philippines.
Washington. March 3o-The president
yesterday discussed with his advisers
and calleSs the situation in the Philip
pines. Assistant Secretary OF War
Meikeljohn and Adjutsnt General Cor
bin. who have kept close track OF the
progress OF the American army and the
condition of the troops. were with him
for some time. With them he went over
the situation. and expressed his pleasure
at the good progress General Otis and
his generals had made. though he re-
gretted the loss Of life.
The dispatch OF General Otis, received
early in the morning. was not supple
mented by any later news. The opinion
was. given out at the war department
that General Otis had ample force under
his command, and that when the regi-
ments now on their way 10 Manila
reached their destination there would
he little neea of retaining the volunteers
In service there.
There was some discussion in official
circles regarding the proclamation
which the Philippine commission may is-
sue. This action. il is said, is entirely
discretionary with the commission. 1t
may issue a proclamation after General
Otis reaches Malolos. or 1t may delay il
until the time seems more opportune.
IL, as reported In some quarters, the
Filipinos abandon Malolos as a capital
and 20 further north. ii is possible that
the proclamation may be withheld. 1t
is intended that the proclamation shall
declare the purpose OF the government
OF the United States in the island OF
Luzon and 1t may seem desirable to es
tablish fully the authority OF the United
States over the island before any such
stem is taken.
