THE PHILIPPINE SITUATION.
Gen. Otis Is Awaiting Develop
mentS.

Belief That the FilIpInos Could he Com
ell lated Were IL Not for ARuInRldO---
Much ANXIETY Felt In OHicIaI Circles.
According to the best information OBJ
tainable from official sources there have
been no new developments in the Philip
pines situation. The last despatch from
Gen. Otis relating to the political condi-
tions at Manila, the military authorities
say, came on Monday morning. Appar-
emily Gen. Otis is waiting for develop
ments, meantime directing his personal en-
ergies to an attempt TO persuade the Flip
mos that the United States government
has only the best intentions toward them.
The administration places great faith in its
policy of Cancellation.
At Iloilo the action of Gen. Miller in
not attempting to take that place by force
has had a good effect, and the latest adj
vices indicate that the natives there are
fraternizing with the American soldiers on
the neutral ground on which the troops
are permitted to land for recreation. The
situation at Manila is different. Aguinal-
dos personality is felt directly there, and
he has succeeded in keeping his soldiers
aloof from friendly relations with the
Americans. The administration has not
were removed there would be comparative
ly little difficulty in bringing the insur-
gents to a realization that they must recog-
nize the authority of the United States.
The statement filed at the state depart
ment Tuesday by Agoncillo, Aguinaldo's
agent, is regarded in official circles as i'm
pudent and presumptuous. His bold in
quiry as to the purpose of the United
Sfafps "A
the Philippines is regarded as an insult.
and there are some officials, whose patience
with the Fillipinos has become exhausted,
who believe that Agoncillo and his asso-
ciates in Washington should be made to
understand that his actions will not be
tolerated. Figuratiyely, the Filipino
statement has been thrown in the state de-
partment waste basket. There is no con-
cealment made of the intention of the gov
eminent to ignore it, as the less bold com
munication of Jan. / was ignored.
Little effort is now being made to hide
the grave feeling of apprehension in official
quarters over the situation in the Philip
pines. The military authorities decline to
talk freely on the subject, but they show
that they are worried over the outcome
The belief exists among them, and in fact
in every branch of the executive govern
ment that the question of peace or war
with the Filipinos is hanging in the bal
ance.
1t was said with reference to the reports
that smallpox existed among the United
States troops in the Philippines, that the
war department had received confrmatory
advices, but these did not indicate that
the disease was widespread On the con
trary very few deaths have occurred, and
the reports of these from Gen. Otis have
been given to the President.

The Bumptious AguInaIdo


Little by little the real sentiment of the
Filipinos is beginning to be manifest in
spite of Aguinaldo's violent efforts to sup
press it. 1t now appears that there is a
distinct native movement against his self
imposed authority. Official dispatches re-
ceived at Manila state that "some of the
officials at Iloilo are not in accord with the
revolutionary government, but are willing
to accept an American protectorate, and to
go to state the case to Aguinaldo, if fur
nished transportation by the Americans. !"
1t will be interesting TO hear what Aguin-
aldo has to say when he is confronted by
these Filipino leaders, who openly prefer
American supremacy. 1t looks as if this
were the beginning of the end of the pre-
tensions of this bumptious chieftain.

An American Neyyspaper.

The Americanism of The Tribune was
clearly demonstrated in the support which
it gave the national administration during
the war with Spain and the annexation of
Hawaii. It's broad views and its labor for
the advancement of every American inter.
est are among the marked characteristics
of that newspaper, and have won for it the
respect of men of all parties. To the honor
of The Tribune, be it said, that no man is
less useful or influential in his town or
county because he reads that newspaper.
On the other hand, he is likely to be pa
triotic and wel-informed man. One of the
most noteworthy features of The Tribune
is the space devoted to women, and to re-
ceipts, fashions, women's ways and the
sentiments which should rule the home.
The Weekly Tribune remains, as for two
generations past, one of the best general
newspapers of its class in the United States.
The improvements made during the past
year in The SemiWeekly Tribune, how
ever, are remarkable. Its illustrated sup
plement, which is sent with each Fridays
issue, has proved especially attractive. We
call special attention to the prospectus
which appears in another column.

A Belle of the Bali Before waterloo.

The battle of Waterloo was fought June
Is, 1915. Before this Wellington was at
Brussels, waiting for the movements of the
French army in that direction. On June
10 the Duchess of Richmond gave'a grand
ball in that city, from which Wellington
and other officers were summoned by the
news of the advance of the French under
Marshal Ney. The battle of Quatre- Bras
was fought on the 10th and the decisive
battle of Waterloo on the 18th. One who
attended the Richmond ball was a Miss
Clitfe, the daughter of Major Cliffe, and
the next year she married a Mr.. Carew,
who afterwards became Lord Carew. This
lady is still living, having survived her
husband ~ years. She is now in her 101st
year, is in good health, and only recently
gave a vivid description of this famous
ball which was held SO years ago.

Reports Worthy of a Cesar.

Not the least interesting of the incl
dents of the day was the manner in which
the commanding officers reported the lack
of serious casualties when they came
aboard the flagship after the first battle.
Having passed through such hail of pro-
Jectiles as made escape from long list of
Killed and wounded appear almost miracu-
lous, and believing it to be impossible that
all the other vessels had been similarly
fortunate, every captain seemed to feel
that the failure of his ship to catch any of
the enemy's shells in a way to harm his
crew might lead the Commodore to think
that his command had not been the target
for the Spaniards' fire to the same extent
as the vessels which had suffered loss of
lie, Consequently, as each captain came
over the Olympa's side, he replied to the
eager query, "How many killed." in a
manner that indicated very much mixed
state of mind. Mingled with satisfaction
at having lost no man was an evident de-
sire TO have it understood that the lack of
loss was no proof of an absence of danger.
"Only eight wounded" replied Capt.
Dyer of the Baltimore-"none seriously.
But six shells struck us, and two burst in
board without hurting any one"
'Not dashed one! ~ was the rollicking
way the next captain reported.
"None killed and none wounded" was
the apologize reply of the next one; shut
don't yet know how it happened. l sup
pose you fellows were all cut up?''
"My ship wasn't hit at ALL" was the
next report, made with a sort of defiant
air, as if the speaker would like to hear it
insinuated that he had had any part in
keeping his men in safe place.
When the Boston's captain came along
side it was feared that he for certain would
have a serious list of casualties, for it was
known that his ship had been on fire. And
when he announced neither killed nor
wounded the news quickly spread through
the flagship, and the men cheered vocif-
erously.
An Incident of the Battle.

toned briefly in my dispatches, is worthy

ing the feelings of the enlisted men for the

LOCAL RIDERS
IN A SPILL
Fred Lehman Comes Back With
a Broken Collar Bone.
IN EAST LIVERPOOL RACES
An Accident Occurred During a Ho'
Finish -Dannemiller's Wheel Dam
aged and He Got But One
Fourth Prize.

Fred Lehman ana Leo Dannnemiller,
the local bicycle racers, returned home
on the 1915 Pennsylvania train Friday
morning from East Liverpool where
they both entered races Thursday.
Lehman was badly used up in a spill
which occurred during a fast finish in
the five mile amateur handicap. There
were six riders in the mix-up and Leh-
man was picked up in an almost uncon-
scious condition. A physician made an
examination and found that the young
man had sustained a broken collar
bone and was otherwise badly bruised.
Lehman took cab from the station
to his home at 1886 East Tuscarawas
street. 1t was hard luck day for the
Canton contingent. Lehman's wheel
was broken in dozen places, Danne-
miller's bike was also damaged and he
took but fourth money in one race.
