REBELS MUST BE CRUSHED.
General Lawton Will Inaugurate An
Indian Campaign.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The authorities
here are giving close attention to the
daily developments in the military sit

cided 10 push the campaign against the
rebellious followers of Aguinaldo with
energy. Ever casualty report that
comes from General Otis notes the
wounding or killing of some of the
American troops by what are practical
ly sharpshOOters on the other side. The
insurgents apparently have learned tia
they cannot nope to cope with Ameri-
can troops on anything like even terms
in a regular set battle, and from now
on they are expected to rely upon the
harassing tactics they have practiced
for the past ten days. The main body
of the insurgents has now fallen back
well out of the line of effective range
of the bunboats. but as the American
troops have been obliged to extend their
lines in order to protect the water
works and to take advantage of the
natural typographical defenses of Ma
Mia, the troops are exposed to the fire
of these guerrillaS without an OppOrtu-
nifty to retaliate, for the enemy fees
before an advance in force. This is, af-

The khalifa is advancing upon Omdur-

A footnote to the dispatch says: The
facts are that Colonel Kitchener's scouts
came in touch with the khalifa, strongly
entrenched with 5000 men, and the Brit
ish officer having only a small force, he
found il necessary 10 retire to Omdurman.
This retirement the khalifa regarded as

should they embezzle the ransom money,
would remain quiet for any length Of time.
Thus far this war has brought them, as far
as can be observed, no serious personal in
convenience. They are doubtless well SAL
aried out of Aguinaldos war chest, well
quartered, fed and attended, and they seem
to be keeping safely in the background
while the Igorrotes and the other ignorant
| natives do the fighting. If they can pull a
handsome stake out Of the campaign they
would be justified in believing that another
war might prove equally profitable to them
personally, while exposing them TO no more
physical discomfort or danger. If we are
to place this low estimate upon the patriot
ism of the Ffhpinos-which is fairly well
justified by events-w7hy not go TO the limit
of the measurement and foresee the
future? Why not accept the adage that a
man bribed once is to be bribed again?
The problem in the Philippines is not only
to put down this insurrection which we
have inherited from Spain, but to establish
permanent peace on the islands. That this
can be done there is no reason whatever to
doubt. That it will be most surely done
by sound punishment and defeat of the
insurgents now in the field Is clear. These
people will respect our force even If they
do not believe our promises They will re-
spect US far more if we continue with the
work of paciicarion than if we negotiate
for peace through Spain.
There is nothing In the problem of Span
ish recognition of the insurgents. 1t will
matter nothing whether Spain seeks to en-
ter upon direct negotiations after the ex-
change Of ratifications or not. Spain is
not factor in the case. She has no mower
wherewith to enforce her recognition, and
such act on her part would not incite cor
responding acts Of recognition among the
other powers. AS far the present case
Is concerned, as well might Spain recognize
the bellfgerency of the people of Mars.
The only safe, honorable and dignified
course in this emergency is to push the
campaign with all vigor, express our sim
cere regret that there are spaniards in the
hands of the insurgents, firmly decline to
permit negotiations for ransom, and rely
upon our arms to effect the speedy deliver
ance of these unfortunates.
