TOO Late to Draw Back.

London, April 19.-The morning pa

the Philippines to the general effect
that 1t is now impossible for the United
States to draw back and that the Ameri-
cans must from time to time expect
such apparent reverses as Maj. Gen.
Lawton's retirement from the Santa

Filipinos Good Fighters.

he says that the Filipinos are not to
be sneered at as fighters. They put up
a very good resistance. They are armed
with Mausers and Remingtons, and
when forced back and obliged to run
swing the guns over their shoulders and
load and fire as they retreat, sometimes
hitting man in this way. They are i'm
itative, and when they saw the effect of
volley firing adopted it and with effect.
They also initiated the bugle calls of
the Americans. Being very good mu-
sicians, they picked up the calls quickly.

London. April e2.--The news from the
Philippine islands Of the retirement Of
General Lawton from the Santa Cruz dis
trict and tho capture OF tho boats crew
Of the United States gunboat Yorktown
has made considerable Impression here
and the comments OF the press all reflect
anxiety lest the unfavorable news have
tisocuraging effect upon Americas ex-
pansion movements.
Prominence Ia given to the dispatches
from America apparently indicating
cooling Of public opinion regarding the
Philippine islands and the general tenor
Of the British press deprecates this SEEM
ing tendency to gloominess. pointing out
that upon innumerable occasions British
arms have met with check only to
eventually conquer all obstacles.
1--WE were discouraged after 1sandula,"
remarked one paper, but we are beyond
Zambezia all the same"
Discussing General Lawton's retirement
the Speaker says. 1.-The movement ap-
pears, on reflection. SO natural that any
other course we argue. would be CRIMINAL
folly. The American campaign UP to now
is justified by results. The real sug-
sestence of the apparent check Is TO be
looked for In America itself. There IS
little doubt that when the presidential
contest recurs the administration Will not
have 10 reckon with dsorganized and
discredited foe. The cost and sufferinSs
Of the troops will help the democratic
reaction and the rcpatrlated troops are
not likely to be missionaries OF imperial
ism. In short Americas set back in the
Philippine Islands may worry we'll combine
with other factors to strengthen the new
democratic populist party which may
make a good fight in 1900, even In the
East"
The Spectator praises the United States
governments wise policy in sending reSu-
lars 10 the Philippines and telling the
volunteers that they may go as fast as
they like" Continuing, the Spectator
says Checks there (the Philipplnes) only
mean loss OF time and the Americans must
have their grumble.'
The Economist expresses Itself In a
similar strain and pooh-poohs the idea
that the Americans admit they are in
competent to perform task, which, COM
pared with India, Is very small; adding
''The Americans are not the people to
yield while they are openly dehed. They
are too vain, as we'll as too resolute"
