OTIS TO SEND OUT
A SECOND COLUMN

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-General
Otis is planning another blow at the
insurgents in the execution of his gen
eral scheme of Fastening the ending of
the rebellion in LuZon before the ad-
vent of the rainy season. The fact ap-
peared quite incidentally in a cable
gram received from him, in which he
replied to an inquiry from the War De-
partment relative to the discharge OF
the volunteer soldiers serving in his
army. These soldiers are entitled, by
the promise of the War Department,
and, perhaps, bv the terms of their en-
listment. to be sent home as soon as
they can be relieved by regulars
General Otis said the men were will
ing to stay in the Philippines as long
as they could be of active service, and
then he added that he was about to
have some work of Importance for
them. indicating that another general
movement forward was in prospect.
This understanding is confirmed by the
report from Manila that another col
umn. In addition to. that of Wheaton,
is being formed under Lawton's lead,
and it is believed this will be pushed
ranidly northward from Manila, in
closing between itself and Wheaton s

VAST TASK OF
CONQUEST AND
OCCUPATION
Cecil Rhodes Talk on Ameri-
can Expansion Brings Out
Sensational Comment.
Copyrighted. 1899. by the Associated Press.

Copyrighted, 1899, by the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 1S.-The newspap-
ers this week reprinted from the Am
erican papers the interview which a
correspondent of the Associated Press
had with Cecil Rhodes on board the
steamer Hapsburg, on the Mediterran-
can, and which was mailed from Alex
andria, Egypt, on February II, and
printed on March 8, in America. The
remarks of Mr.. Rhodes on America S
imperial future have attracted a great
deal of attention.
The Spectator however, suggests
that the energy of the Americans may
not prove persistent enough for the
vast task of conquest and occupation
which the South African statesman
sets before them, adding: Their sys-
tenn, though it produces men of ability.
is probably not favorable to the de-
velopment of a meteoric genius. and
without such a man the work can
hardly be done rapidly. Eating I'D
South America like an artichoke. State
by State, is a task to overstrain any
people, even the Americans. The car
rying out of the work, too, might bring
to a head the great danger of the
United States-the difference in the
ideal and permanent tendency between
the North and South. 1t is true that
the State system of America is won
derful system of empire; but it is also
a wonderful provision for disintegra-
ton. The North may refuse to persist
In a career of conquest, which wearies
ii, and with Canada may elect to form
a republic with another ideal than gov
erning, which, although attractive,
wears out the surplus energy of the
governors. If any one tells us the
United States will expand to the Straits
of Magellan in spite of themselves we
may believe him. But If he says, as
Mr. Rhodes says, that this expansion
will be deliberate we shall hesitate and
ask for evidence that they wish the
expansion to last"
Mr.. Rhodes striking personality stood
out in bold relief this week against the
political background of minor interests
The press of three countries, Great
Britain. Germany and France, was full
of him. His visit to Berlin marks an
important onward step in the Anglo
German understanding, and the French
papers realize this, and the idea that
the assistance of Germany might even
tually be counted upon in a war be-
tween France and Great Britain is
preposterous.
The Figaro sees in Mr.. Rhodes re-
ception at Berlin sure proof of a secret
convention between Great Britain and
Germany, while the Temps says:
Frankly, it is impossible to overrate
its Importance. 1t is plain proof OF
Emperor Williams desire for a rap
prochement with Great Britain, and the
power and weight of such a combina-
ton cannot be exaggerated. 1t ought
to furnish food for reflection for those
who fancied that France only had tc
make overtures in order to bring Ger
many to her feet, and who. acting un-
der this delusion, have been striving to
bring about rupture with Great Brit
aim"

Alarming Reports Have No
Foundation in
Fact.
DENIED OFFICIALLY
Mere Local Fights Between Sol

Disturbances.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO.
March 1S.-The reports contained in
newspapers just received here alleging
that danger exists OF an uprising of
the natives are regarded with aston
ishment and are absolutely without
foundation in fact. The only disturb
ances that have occurred here have
been mere local fights between the
American volunteers. and the lower
classes.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, who has just returned from an
extended trip through the island, found
only occasional evidences of Iissatis-
faction resulting from brawIs and local
politics, and American officers now
here ridicule the idea of an uprising
of the natives, who, they say, are with
out weapons and are entirely lacking in
organization.
The colonial commission appointed
by President Mckinley will hear the
testimony presented which, it is ex-
pected, will be contradictory, and, af-
ter consideration, will advise the au-
thorities mainly upon the political sit
uation.
The Americans seek the estab lish-
ment of a Federal court. and a num-
Der of aspirants for judgeships have
requested Governor General Henry to
recommend them for appointment.
General Henry, however, refused their
requests.
The commission has refused to make
public the nature of its discussions.
The members will leave shortly for the
western part of the island.

scale. The volume of trade is now only
about one-eighth it's usual limit.
1t is evident the military and Tagal
element is preventing the collapse OF
the hostile movement. They are c1rcu-
lating absurd stories of Filipino sue
cesses in the vicinity of Manila and the
capture of numerous American pris-
oners.
Yesterday I drove through to Molo
and over a mile outside the lines with
Major Cheetham of the Tennessee Reg
iment. We found the natives ex-
tremely friendly and peaceful and busy
with their marketing. We visited Cor
nellio Melliza, an old native planter
father of Raimundo. He spoke hope
fully of a speedy settlement and regret
ted hostilities..
Since February II the Molo end Of the
line has been quiet. At the Jaro end
there have been few shots, but no
casualties, the insurgents never ap-
preaching our position in large num-
bers. The British gunboat Pigny left
Cebu on March 1 and visited Tacloban,
in the island of Leyte, Barugo, Cal
bayon, Catbalogan and Lagrange in
Samar and Gubat and Legaspi in Lu-
zon, inquiring as to the safety OF Brit
ish subjects.
So far as the officials learned, the
lives and property Of the British are
safe, but the Filipino leaders admitted
the difficulty of controlling men who do
not belong to the districts visited and
who evidently are holding together
with the prospect of loot, the majority
being soldiers from the city of Manila,
whom the local people are supporting
half heartedly. Commander Greene
found a strong hostile feeling toward
the Americans among these imported
braves.
Many untrue reports are circulated
among ignorant people of the alleged
cruelty of the Americans. The stories
formerly told against the Spaniards of
Iooting and ravishing are being re-
peated against the Americans. At Call
bayou, in Samar, an American named
Rescott, employed by Warner, Barnes
81 Co., a British firm, is held under
parole. Commander Greene, accom-
panied by James Macleod of Warmers,
saw General Luekban at Catbalogan
and told him he would be held respon
sible for any harm to Mr.. Scott. After

the people that damage to British In

The food supply of the native soldiers
is limited. When the true state OF af-
fairs in Cebu, Negros and Zamboanga,
where the cruiser Boston has gone to
take possession, is learned it must af-
feet the American position benefcially
as the Visayans now here are not de-
sirous of fighting. British subject

NO BATTLES FOUGHT

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 19-The Jour
nails Manila correspondent sends the
following via Hongkong to escape the
rigorous censorship established at Ma
Mia;
The movements of General What
on's flying brigade around Pasig dur
ing the past week have been largely eX-
aggerated. The censor has refused to
allow correspondents to report the plain
fact that the insurgents simply ran
away before the advances of the Amerl-
can troops. He seemed to wish that all
dispatches sent should represent small
skirmishes as serious battles, with the
natives resisting furiously. The COM
PLEASANT correspondents were made to
represent the insurgent losses as
enormous.
General Otis advances, however, ac-
tually consist of elaborate skirmishes,
with few losses, with no decided for
ward movement. Indeed, there is much
delay. and Lawton has not been as
signed to duty. Admiral Dewey ex-
pressed satisfaction over the arrival OF
General Lawton and said:
L am in favor Of going ahead
right now and taking everything in
sight We have forces enough to end
the war if we go right in and fight.
My opinion is the hostilities are car
ried on almost exclusively by Tagallos.
We ought to be able to crush their OPP
position quickly. 1 do not anticipate
any difficulty in occupying the south
ern islands of the archipelago. After
the present hostilities end we ought not
to need a great naval force in the Phil
ippines. Spain had to maintain an eX-
pensive squadron here, because she al
ways had the screws on the people. 1t

large body of insurgents made a night
attack near Pateros, on the camp of
the Twenty-second Regular Infantry
which now forms a part of Wheatons
brigade in the first division, command
ed by Lawton.
The advance was discovered by the
outposts, who retired when they found
the rebels were in force, and three COM
panies of the regiment were quickly
formed and engaged the enemy. who
retired after several volIeys had been
exchanged. Two Americans were kill
ed by the insurgents and fifteen wound
ed. The loss of the rebels has not yet
been ascertained, although they are
known to have been considerable.
A provisional customs system is be-
ing introduced at Cebu. Colonel Ha-
mer, First Idaho Infantry, is acting as
military Governor and matters of in
ternal revenue licenses and interior
economy are receiving consideration.
These affairs probably can be conduct
ed by natives who desire citizenship
and by means Of such measures the
officers will establish a quasi civil adj
ministration within the island under
military supervision, tentative in char
acter, but as nearly approaching per-
manency as is possible
The other officers are Captain Will

tor of customs, and Lieutenant Thomas
F. Schley of the Twentythird, port
captain.
Ensign Everhart has been relieved as

MANILA, March I8.-I have
wi been informed that Aguin-
aldo, during his stay in Hong
kong, had an interview with
Prince Henry of Prussia.
The native troops are dissatis-
fed, owing to non-payment Of
their wages, and frequently dis
obey their officers.
ILOILO, Island of Panay, March -,
via Manila, March 1S.-The situation
here is practically unchanged despite
the plucky but abortive attempt of a
British officer to effect a compromise.
Yesterday Lieutenant Commander
Cowper of the British gunboat Plover,
accompanied by an English resident
and Raimundo Melliza, former presi-
dent Of the Filipino congress for Panay,
crossed the lines unofficially and at
tempted to advise the natives to aban-
don their opposition to the Americans,
their intention to do SO having been
previously communicated to General
Miller, who granted them facilities.

surrounding country. When collision

Lieutenant Commander Cowper was
much impressed by the youthfulness
and smartness of the leaders. He coun-
seled an agreement with the Amer
leans, who he said, had no intention
to rule in the spirit old Spain did, but
to improve the country for the benefit
of the people.
The natives reiterated their charges
that the Americans were acting in bad
faith; that their acts were not in ac-
cordance with fair words. They as
sured Lieutenant Commander Cowper
that they were not fighting from choice
and were DESTROYS of resuming their
business and peaceful pursuits, but
were determined to make no COM
promise without consulting Aguinaldo.
They will stand or fall with the island
of Luzon. They treated Lieutenant
Commander Cowper and his compan-
ions courteously.
When asked by him as a last resort
what suggestion they had to make
toward a solution, they assured him
frankly they were willing to negotiate
for peace through one of the great pow
