DEEYEY'S DISPATCH
Dihcrcnily Interpreted by War and
Navy Departments.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. G.-Thc
receipt OF Admiral Dewey's dispatch
this morning announcing that the IN
sursents had attacked Manila caused q
conmotion at the war department as to
the text of the dispatch transmitted
here by the Eavg department. The first
conclusion reached was that another
battle was on, and that the insurgents
were not confnlas their attacks 10 the
American lines, but were directing them
at The city OF Manila itself, But upon.
consideration the officials reached the
conclusion that they We're mistaken In
this conclusion. and that by some NJ
those mlshaps that freaneatls. occur this
was simply delayed dispatch from
Dewey.
General Curbin pointed out in Sup
port of this idea that the postscript To
General Otis dispatch last night de-
scrlb!ng the battle OF Saturday night
and Sunday morning was received ut
the war department at II o'clock las:
night or more than four hours in nd-
vance Of the story Of the battle which
should have preceded 1t. Then. 100. Cen
cral Otis last message was of such II
reassuring nature and spoke so decisive
IS % the driving OF OF the insurgents
that 1t was believed scarcely probable
that they should have renewed the at-
tack upon the American forces 50 soon
after their defeat.
The naval opinion was jus. the re-
verse OF this. Naval officers felt sure
that Dewey's dispatches had not been
Inverted and there had been more
lighting. or the outcome they had little
doubt, pointing out that Dewey's guns
command the entire city and the ap-
proaches beyond. afforGing a most sat
isfactcry background FOR General Otis
openings.
As between these varying views there
must be taken into consideration the
opinion of the FIli1inos attached TO the
junta here to the effect that the attack
of Saturday night was preCipitatcd ard
not Premedltated: that Il was SO pre-
cipitatcd bc the unexpected killing OF 4
Filipino by an American guard, and
that the result was TO bring OIL an Ic-
tion at the weakest part OF the Filipino
lines. II this opinion Is well founded It
would seem 10 be possible that the ma
val view is correct and that the I'ilipi-
nos have now begun action at their
strongest point namely between Manila
and Malolos. the iusurgent capitol about
fifteen miles distant from Manila.

SPANISH OPINION
Ofthc Outbreak ofthc Filipinos-Thc
Situation Very Critical.

MADRID. Feb. G.-The newspapers
here to-day publish AZ Interview with a
minister who declared that the Philip
pines are going to cost the Americans
dear, "as the Fllipinos are not SO sus-
ceptible TO brlbes as the Cubars."
The minister Is quoted rs saying:
THE Americans will repulse any at
tack on Manila, but such victory will
be OF no advantage to the United States
for the insurgents. embittered by de-
feat, Will be less disposed to make an
arrangement, ind the struggle will go
OH In the Hinterland, which will be very
unfarorable 10 the Americans, who are
absolutely Incapable OF mountain war
fare. The situation OF the Americans Is
very critical. They will be compelled to
grant independence to the Filipinos in
spite of the fact that they Will thereby
bring upon themselves the worlds ridi-
cule."
The minister also expressed the belief
that the rupture at Manila would in
iluence the United States senate be
cause the anti-annexationsts will point
out that the annexation OF the Philip
pine Islands will demand enormous and
uncalled for sacrifices of men and mo-
ney.
Continuing the minister said: "The
rebels. therefore. have shown cleverness
In choosing the eve of the ratification Jf
the treaty for an outbreak. II Is very
regrettaole that the opening of hostilities
VIII necessarily aggravate the situation
OF the Spaniards in the Philippines
To-day's cabinet session was chiefly
devoted to long discussion of Phil
ippine matters. General Corrca, minis
ter for war, expressed his pleasure at
the good relations existing between
General Rios and General Otis"
Dispatches from Manila describe n
conference between General Otis and
Aguinaldo. some days back, at which,
wien Aguinaldo learned of the "inten-
ton OF the Americans 10 attack and
capture lloilo and other ports" he de-
clared that he would begin hostilifies IL
the United States sent any reinforce
ments TO the Philippines, The confer
ence failed TO arrive at any UNDER
standing"
According to the same dispatches. It
would Seem that the insurgents lack
ammunition. as they have been seeking
10 purchase 1t anywhere, and have been
Offering high prices.
They recently gave 1t ont that Gen.
cral Rios had delivered TO them five
thousand Mauser rifles and three mil
lion cartridges. in exchange. for priSon-
crS, but this General Rios denies.

PORTER'S REPORT
On Affairs in Cuba-Dccidcd Change
for the HrIl Ter


WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.--Hon. Rob-
crt p. Porter arrived In Washington
last night, having come directly from
Havana after his successful! mission to
General Gomez, whom he met at Re-
mcdios. He submitted his report to
Secretary Gage this morning. Aside
from the successful outcome of his mis-
sion the most Interesting part OF Mr..
Porter's report relates to his observa-
tons rs TO the conditions in the island
rs they exist to-day. from Havana
to st. Domingo. nearly two hundred
miles says Mr.. Porter your COM
missioner went over the same route rs
he did last September. The difference,
however, In the condition Of the coun-
try now and then is very marked. In
September the whole distance was one
scene of desOlation. There were liter
ally no signs of life. human or animal,
except at the railway stations, which
swarmcd with starving humanity.
Never was there such abiect poverty
seen as then.
To-day conditions are improved.
A''N'N " tp'tir' bul ia lllt ClTU1llC

Is noticed in the country ITSELF The
people are beginning TO work again.
The qnick-srowing crops have been
planted and some are ready for har-
vestlnE. For ten hours in Scptember,
travelling on one road. but one yoke OF
oxen was seen. To-day in some fields
large herds of several hundred cattle
each greeted the eye. This Is the sur
est sign that Cuba IS pacIiied."
Mr.. Porter was met at Remedies by
General Gomez and his staff and 4
party OF American officials. An ova-
tlon WIS rendered Senior QuesaIa. who
had accompanied Mr.. Porter
The next day after arrival at Rene
dos. General Gomez, by appointment,
came into the city and an interview be-
tween him and Mr. Porter took place
on February l. The general said that
he was completely identified with the
work OF commercial ana industrial re-
construction OF the Island. Its wounds
will heal" he said. with the rapid pro-
motion of work. This Is the battle we
are now lighting. and I avail myself
OF this opportunity TO tender my SER
vices"
Mr.. Porter thanked General Gomez
Tor these assurances. and called his at
tentlon TO the fact that in framing the
new tariff the President and secretary
OF the treasury had directed that no
discrimination in favor OF the United
states should be made. That the tariff
was made In the interest of Cubn and
not In the interest OF the United States.
All these changes looking to the better
condition OF the island were naugur-
,ated on the day the United States be-
lgan It's military control.
General Brooke will be ready to take
up the distribution of the army relief
fund this week, with General Gomez
In the manner agreed upon. General

lonal Record about the American SEN
ate and from that I have gotten conii-
dence in the justice OF the senate TO us"
Lopez denied that he had anything
new from the Philippine chifeta!n.
1t Is asserted unqualifledly. however,
by persons connected with the Filipino
junta that on Saturday or Friday night
a cablegcam came from AEulnaldo,
briefly. announcing that he would take
10 action until after the vote on the
treaty. Whether this was in response
to message, from Asoncillo Is not quite
clear. though It IS suggested It might
have followed cabled counsel from
Lopez to avoid an engagement.
Lopez. during the forenoon was In
conference with Attorney Ealston, the
counsel for.tlle junta.

TIE FILIPINO ,JUNTA
At Washington in Stale of Bcwil-
observation-disclosures Advisers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. G.-Thc
Filipino junta here Is in a state OF be-
wildermcnt to-day. Senior Agoncllo, its
head. fled SO hurriedly that he failed to
leave Instructions for the balance OF the
junta and they accordingly are de-
pendent upon word from him as well as
hampered by the serious Illness OF one
OF them. Their counsel. Messrs. Ralston
and Slddons, withdrew from any reln-
lions with them and they are, accord
ingly now without advisers In n strange
country. and though told that they will
not likely be arrested. they have q
strong apprehension on that score. The
5unta at 2 o'clock had received no dis
patch from Aguinaldo about the battle
and no word had come from their flee
ing chief. Agoncillo. This forenoon
Senor Lopez had 4 long interview with
their attorneys. at which the latter for
mally withdrew all connection with
them.
How long will YOU remain In this
country" was asked.
SO long as the American people. the
American senate have Justice for us.
Further than this Lopez said he would
not discuss the situation. save to reit-
crate that hostilitles were precipitated
not by Asuinaldo's forces, but by the
Americans.
At this junciure Lopez started TO say
"The Americans are getting corrupted -
but quickly checked himself. His agita-
tlon and nervousness were evident. He
