mirai Dewey to Look for FiIibustcrs.
Washington, March 6.-There Is some
reason to expect important news from
Manila within the next fortnight. 1t has
developed that General Otis has practi-
cally completed his plans for grand
onslaught on the insurgents which is
expected to deprive them of offensive
power at least. 1t is probable that he
will form large part Of his force into
columns as soon as his reinforcements
are all at hand, and will push these in
parallel lines straight through the jun
giles, clearing out the insurgents in ev-
cry direction as the troops move for
ward. The American troops are get
ting restless and nervous under the
petty but annoying sharpshooting of
the Filipinos and are so anxious to put
a stop to this that General Otis has
yielded to their desire.
Forty-One Thousand Americans.
Forty-one thousand officers and men
of the combined army and navy forces
comprise the approximate total Ameri-
can strength now at, en- route and un-
der orders for service at the Philippin s.
No further reinforcements are now in
contemplation. The forces of the two
services already stationed in and about
the archipelago consists of twenty regi-
ments of infantry, one engineer bat
talon, seven troops of cavalry and
eleven batteries of artillery, an aggre-
gate of about "a 500 men. Nineteen ves-
sells. with an aggregate of 297 officers.
1890 men and 253 marines make up the
naval contingent. This is exclusive of
the transport Solace. with 1872 officers
and men. all told. which is constantly
passing back and forth from Manila.
There are about 1880 army reinforce
ments on the way to Manila making as
rapid progress as possible, and there
are. roughly, $500 men in the force
under orders to proceed to the Philip
pines

DEWEY TO HUNT rILuBUsrERs.
Wants More Light-Drsught Vessels for
That Purpose.

Washington, March 6-The necessity
of suppressing filibustering expeditions
is the cause of Admiral Dewey asking
that the department send him more
vessels Of light draught. On account of
the number of Philippine islands, the
natives are able to transport from the
Asiatic coast large quantity Of NUM-
tions of war in small schooners. Ad-
miral Dewey wants a large number Of
warships at his disposal which can fol-
low such vessels into shallow water.
The Wheeling has already started for
Manila and the Vixen will go by the
last Of this month. The department may
send others.
The authorities were glad to hear that
General Lawton would arrive at Ma
Mia about March 10, as he will then be
put In ntrol of the m litary operat or s.
thus giving General Otis an opportunity
to aid in the Philippine commission, as
well as take care Of the many ques-
lions constantly arising. After General
Lawton's arrival, one Of the brigadier
generals at Manila will probably be
sent to Iloilo to relieve General Miller,
who will go on the retired list March

Professor Witthaus declined to discuss
the matter. Asked IL he could tell now
the quantity of mercury which he had

not. Asked II 1t could be inferred that
there was 30 much in Barnet's body as
had been found In Mrs. Adams. he

pewEYs PROSPECTS.
Sherman Thinks He Would Stand Good Show
Owing to Popularity.

Naxv York. Oct 5-The Washington
corresnondent of the World gives the re
s,,if az an interview he had, yesterday,
with ex-Secretary John Sherman as 10
what he thought of Admiral Dewey as a
Presidential candidate. Mr.. Sherman Is
u1loted as saying among other things;
II do not believe anyone knows Admiral
Dewey's political persuasions. | think
like every sailor he probably knows very
little about politics. He is modest and re
firing. A man to be successful i'll race
for the Presidency must know how 10
manage men. 1t remains to be seen
whether the admiral possesses such qua! !
tiles. OF course he is the hero of the
times. and popular sentiment would run
in his favor as it did for Grant. If the
people elect him TO the Presidency, II VIII
De with supreme disregard of party lines.
For these reasons Dewey would be 4
strong candidate. OF course there is no
way of anticipating the action of the
Democratic convention. but who nave tile
Democrats to whom they may safely pm
their faith? | do not regard Bryan as 4
strong man. On the other hand, | do not
consider Mckinley as a strong man. True.
he has fought war: he has acquitted
himself with honor in Congress and as a
President but | should no. call him a
strong man. | believe both parties should
exercise more care in the election of their
Presidential candidates. 1t Is barely pos
sible that the Republicans Will nominate
Dewey and make themselves doubly sure
of IL President. No other living man holds
such favor as Dewey in the hearts of the
people, and the tide Of popular sentiment
would certainly be to his advantage
