Washington Authorities Deny knowledge
of Belligerent Prerarations.7 n:
WASHINGTON, April .6.-If General
Otis is maturing plans for another cam
paign against the insurgents in the, vi
cinity of Calumpit, as indicated in the
press dispatches from Manila, he; has
not so informed the war department..
In fact the general has not thought it
needful to communicate with the de-
partment for two days. While it; may
be necessary to send troops against the
insurgents who have gathered at CAL
umpit in order to make the authority o.
the United States more secure, and for
the effect upon the natives, yet it is not
thought that Aguinaldo has any great
force, and it is believed that upon the
approach of the American army the in
surgents will retire after the exchange
of a few shots. ..:~@ q

PLEASES THE OFFICIALS.

Work of Reconstruction Can Now Pro.
coed More Rapidly.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The news OF
the Cuban assembly's vote for imme.
diate dissolution and 'disbandment OF
the army was received here with relief
and qualification. The prolonged strug-
gle over the payment of the Cuban
army had begun to exhaust the patience
of the authorities here. The admins
tration now looks for more rapid prog
ress in the work Of reconstruction of the
island and less difficulty in instituting
reforms generally.
The vote, 21 to ], shows the lack of a
quorum on the basis of the original Or
ganization of 49 members, but the ap-
parent insignifcance of this is weakened
by the fact that numerous members of
the assembly left it without ceremony
on account Of it's attitude.

Chinese Statesman May Soon Be Re-

Chinese Statesman May Soon Be Re.
~, turned to Power. 5'
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The friend
ship which the empress dowager OF
China entertains for Ii Hung Chang
may result in his being recalled tc
power at an early day There have
been reports that this move was &C.
tually under way, but nothing official
has been received here to bear this out.
The main obstacle to his recall, it is
said, is the difference between Russian
and Great Britain as to the preponder-
ance Of power in China. In the sharp
diplomatic struggle going on between
those two powers, Russia has relied
upon the good Offices of Lii Hung
Chang, while Great Britain has
cause to resent some of the
activities of Earl Ii in behalf of Russia.
This feeling in British official circles
was the main cause for the enforced re-
tirement Of Ii. Since then, however,
the British sentiment against him has
become less acute and it is understood
that If the dowager empress sees fit to
recall him to power there is not likely
to be the same opposition as Great Brit
ain would have interposed some time
ago. In Ii Hung Chang, it is said,
China would have the services of the
first statesman of the Orient for the
crisis through which she is passing, and
that her helplessness in the diplomacy
OF the past two years would be much
overcome. ~ ... -:.,-..~-.

Foreign Residents Generally Be-
lieve It Will Have Bene-

MANILA, April 6.-b:20 D. m.-The
proclamation of the United States Phil.
1pplne commission has been posted in
the streets, printed in English, Spanish
and Tagalo. It was also distributed in
the outside towns as far as Malolos, and
has been received with marked atten-
tlon by the natives generally and has
been approved by number of repre-
sentative Manilans

interviewed on the subject are optimis-
tic upon the attitude Of the Americans,

clsive policy will undoubtedly be sue

Nay Not Reach the Masses.
~ spanish banker who was inter-
viewed expressed the fear that the proc
lamation will not reach the masses con-
trolling the rebellion, because, he ex-
planned, the Filipinos at Manila are
mostly domestics and clerks who have
nc definite opinions, and the wire-pull-
ers outside Of the city have undoubtedly
intercepted it. Continuing, the Span
ish banker said that if the proclamation
had been issued on May 2, or:eyen on
Aug. II Of last year, the result would
have been no different, as, in his opinion.
based on 20 years experience, the only
argument which appeals to the masses
here is the gun.

The editor ct Gceaa1iiia THINKS tho
probation is the most polite document
ever published in the Philippine islands
and that it is bound to convince the
wavering of the folly of further hostil-
tiles.
An English merchant says the first
clause, with reference to the establish
ment and maintenance of American
sovereignty and warning the rebels
should settle the question in the minds
of every thinking Filipino.
A Scotch ship owner thinks it does not
leave any further doubt as to the policy
of the United States, and that conse.
quently Aguinaldo must submit to the
inevitable, as the continuance Of hostil.
tiles opposes the best interests of the
Filipinos.
