MUST PRESS THE CAMPAIGN
General Otis Told to Fight in Wet Sea-
snn and nrN.

Washington. May 20.-General Otis
was told to fight by the cabinet today.
He was told to press the campaign at
all times, in the wet season and out,
and the cabinet was informed that Otis,
in pursuance of instructions OF the adj
ministration, has warned the Filipino
peace ENJOYS not to attempt to reopen
negotiations except on the basis OF UNI
conditional surrender. In other words,
the negotiations are declared off until
the F,lipinos are ready to quit. The
substance OF the ultimatum to the Fill
pinos is: When you desire to re-enter
the American military lines, come pre-
pared for an unconditional surrender;
otherwise, You will not be admitted.
The authorities have again taken up
the question OF sending additional
troops to the Philippines, and the
Twenty fourth infantry (colored) has
been slated for service there. Other
regiments may also be sent.

More TrOOns Needed.

Manila, May 29.-The events of the
past week have emphasized the need of
a much larger army here, without
which. according to the best author-
ties in Manila would be attempting
the impossible, to expect to maintain
supremacy in the Philippine islands.
The inadequacy of the American forces
is said to be responsible for the large
loss in the number of small encounters,
without material results as compensa-
tion. Most of the fighting has been in
territory which the Americans had
swept, but had been compelled to ADAM
don because they could not spare
troops to hold it.

FEARS OF PESTlLENCE.
Dawson City Again Threatened with
Deadly Disease.

Dawson, via San Francisco, MAY 90.
With the return of spring to Dawson,
come renewed fears of pestilence and
death. Stringent sanitary measures
are being adopted. Health Officer
Good has posted public notices through
out the town, forbidding all persons to
gather ice or take water from the Yu-
kon at an point nearer than a mile
above the city. The Yukon council is
planning system of drainage for the
flats upon which the city is situated
and an ordinance has been passed re-
curing the inhabitants to use the ut
most care IN cleaning their premises
prior to the breaking up of the river.
Notwithstanding all these precautions,
physicians predict an unusual preva-
lence of typhoid. owing to the accumu-
lated filth OF winter which now encum.
bers the site OF the city.

London, May 29.-All the dis
patches to the morning papers from
The Hague show that the peace con-
ference is suffering from lack OF prepa
ration. The Muravieif circular con-
tains heads and chapters. but no de-
tails. Its author emphasized disarma-
ment, but sighted arbitration. NJ. de
Staal. in opening the conference, abso-
lutely reversed this order. What is
wanted is something for daily wear and
tear.
The Daily News says: "The British
and American proposals, though sim
pie, are more practicable than the
scheme of Nj. de Martens, of the Rus
sian delegation, and it is likely that
France and Russia, and even Germany.
will ultimately agree with them.

SEARCH FOR ANDREE.
Another Expedition Has Gone to Look
FOR the Missing Aeronuut.

Another Expedition Has Gone to Looh
for the Missing Aeronnut
Copenhagen, May 29.-The expedi
ton under Professor A. q. Nathoist,
which is to search along the northeast
coast of Greenland for Professor An
dree, the missing aeronaut, has sailed
iron Helsinborg, Sweden. Professor
Nathorst's relief party sailed on the
steam whaler Antarctic, of which he
is part owner. A wealthy Norwegian
merchant named llammes will deiray
almost the entire cost of the expedi-
ton.
After carefully examining the region
between the seventy-third and seventy
fifth degrees, north latitude. Professor
Nathorst will proceed toward Cape
Bismarck, on the east coast of Green
land, in the hope OF meeting Captain
Sneverdrup's expedition. which left
Christina last June on the Fran. His
theory is that Andree, ii alive, is prob
ably on the northeastern coast OF
Greenland. He argues that if the mis-
sing aeronaut landed in Greenland and
took the east coast route to the south,
several years must elapse before he
could work his way without ship to the
nearest settlement.
The relief party consists of six scien-
tifc men besides DR.. Nathorst and a
crew of 10. The plan is to head for
Jan Mayer. an island in the Arctic
ocean, and then to follow the ice edge
until an opening is found through
which the shore can be reached.
