Washington. March 29.--The presi-
dent today discussed with his advisers
and callers the situation in the Philip
pines. Assistant Secretary of War
Meikleiohn and Adjutant-Gen. COrbin,
who have kept close track of the pro-
gress Of the American army and con-
ditlons of the troops, were with him
for some time. With them he went oV-
er the situation and expressed his plea
sure at the good progress Gen. Otis
and his generals had made, though ne
regretted the loss of life
The dispatch of Gen Otis received
early this morning was not supplement-
ed by any later news. The opinion was
given out at the war department thar
Gen. Otis had ample force under his
command, and that when the regulars
now on their way to Manila reached
their destination there would be little
need of retaining the volunteers in ser
vice there.
No demand for mustePs out will hold
good until the formal ratification Of
lllt peace treaty OCtlll .. eAL4Ni HAieiA NAN4
will be done is not known.
The French ambassador who is act
ing for Spain, has no information on
the subject, and does not know when
The treaty will be received here. Sec
rotary Alger has reported a favorable
condition of affairs in cuba and has
expressed opinion that more troops
than there are now in the island viii
not be needed. After the volunteers
are sent home there will be II regi-
ments with total of $4,000 men in Gu
ba, making two regiments Of regulars
to each province.
There was some discussion in official
circles regarding the proclamation
which the Philippine commission may
issue. This action. it is said, is entire
ly discretionary with the commission.
1t may issue its proclamation after
Gen. Otis reaches Maloios, or it may
delay it until the time seems more OPP
perfume.
IT, as reported in some quarters, the
Filipinos abandon Malol0s as capital
and go farther north it is possible that
the proclamation may be Withheld. 1t

ANOTHER WARSHlP.
British Cruiser Gets Hurry Orders To Go
To Samoa.

Apia, March 23.-The British cruiser
Tauranga, which, it has been stated,
was intending to annex the Tonga is
lands, portion of the Friendly group,
has been intercepted at Suva, capital
of the Fiji islands. There she received
urgent orders to set sail for Apia with
all speed
The fact of sending a third cruiser to
Samoan waters shows only too plainly
how critical the present Samoan situa-
ton is in the opinion Of European dip
lomats and statesmen. Only the most
urgent necessity would demand the
presence of a third warship in those
waters. When the Taurango arrives the
prepOnderence Of the American and
British power over the German will be
complete. There will be three ships to
the Germans one, a sufficient number to
hold in check any possible show of ar
roganCe.

it would take broad sween and lead
to such heavy loss of life.
In this aspect of the case the actuaI
results were regarded as far more Sc
rious than those which had been ex
pected, and provided for during the re.
cent diplomatic exchanges between the
three governments Moreover. new ele
ments of international danger had nm
expectedly arisen. These include the
proclamation of the German consul
Rose, which it Is believed tended TO in
cite the Mataafa party to an omen re-
volt, also the woundlng and killing OF
British sailors and marines. the shoot
ing of an American sentry, and the at
tacks on the several consulates. These
all involve unknown possibilities of
serious complication.
While they had been guarded against
as far al possible by the recent an
ticipatory exchanges. vet it was felt
that the German press and national
sentiment might be wrought to a high
pitch by the events which had occurred
and that this outburst Of popular feel.
ing might overcome the strong efforts
Of officials to keep the subject within
pacific bounds
In an authoritative quarter the atti.
tude of British and American officials
was stated as follows: Ii was mutual-
lY understood between the two govern.
ments that the first essential in Samoa
was to maintain peace and order. For
that reason it was determined that anv
Iawlessness on the part of Mataafa or
any other Samoan element which
threatened the liyes or property Of res
idents would be suppressed even
though force was required.
This was entirely without reference
to the rights Of the three governments
Great Britain the United States and
Germany, and was merely a rule Of
zfIf
1t was not proposed to give Samoa
over 10 reign of anarchy simply be-
cause the German consular official al
Samoa differed with the British and
American officials. Outside Of these
differences, it was proposed to protect
life and property at ali hazards. II is
evident that the bloodshed has arisen
out Of the united effort Of American
and British commanders to protect the
law-abiding and peaceful elements
against the disorderly ana rebelllous
subjects of Mataafa-
This is evidenced by Matafa's action
in hemming in the town where the Am
erican and British officials resided, al
SO in the attacks on the consulate, and
in the general lawlessness which pre-
vailed since Matafa began his reign.
The American case VIII rest on the pa
ramount necessity of preserving peace
and order

on very eminent authority, lis not like.
ly to raise a direct issue on the posi-
ton thus laid down by the British and
American officials.

growing disposition on the part OF
Germany to hold Herr Rose accounta-

ders to Gen. Otis.

Washington, March 29.-It is stated at
the war department that the subject OF
mastering in $1,000 volunteers as per-
mitte1 by the army reorganization bill
has not been mentioned to the president
either by acting Secretary of Wal
Meiklejohn or Adjutant Gen. Corbin
There is no intention TO bring forward
this question al present, as with the
troops already ordered to Manila, and
which ii viii take some months &c
transport thither, Gen. Otis has all the
forces necessary to accomplish what Is
desired of him in the Philippines.

IOWA MAY BE SENT,
Capt. Bob Evans Old Ship TO Protect
Americans.

Washington, March eft was ru-
mored at the navy department tonight
that the battleship Iowa would in all
probability be ordered to Apia. The
Iowa is now on duty on the Pacific
coast, She accompanied the Oregon on
her last cruise around the Horn and has
been recently locked and put in first
class condition
At the time Admiral Kautz Was Or
dered to Samoa, the Philadelphia was
the only available ship on the coast. as
the Iowa had not then made the repairs
necessitated by her long voyage. 1t was
limited at the time, however that should
any extra assistance be needed at Apia
the Iowa would be the ship sent
1t is thought the interests of Ameri-
cans in the islands demand a battleship
a the present trying juncture, and that
the moral effect of the Iowa's heavy
armament would be advantageous. The
condition Of the Philadelphia is far
from serviceable. Her bottom is foul
and she has not been locked for many
months

DEVERY STARTS THEN GUESSING
LONG ISLAND CITY POLITICIANS PUZZLED
RY A POLICE TRANSFER


BY A POLICE TRANSFER.
Chief Devery in making place for a new cap
tain caused a big stir in the Long Island City part
OF Queens Borough yesterday afternoon. and last
night the politicians endeavorlng learn If it
was simply chance assignment. or II there was
any politics IN the transfer. Captain Hickman
who had been serving with Captain Chapman
learning the duties OF captain, was ordered to the
Newtown precinct to replace Captain Timothy
White. Captain Hickman captain of the
Whtestono police when that village came into the
city. His appointment as a policeman was recog-
nized but not his elevation to the captaincy, and
he was ordered TO duty a patrolman. He fought
the in the courts. and was recently ordered re-
instated as captain. Since then he has been under
instruction under Chapman.
To make room for Captain White Chief Devery
ordered Sergeant Thomas Lynch who had been
acting captain at the Hunters Point station. TO
duty at Borough Headquarters. under Deputy Chief
Clayton This brings White to the Hunters Point
station.
1t is this part OF tho transfer that bothers tho
politicians. In the old Long Island City days, when
Nayor Gleason and the Jeffersonians every one
either a Gleason man anti. In those
days Captain White was most emphatically Glea-
son man, and an active one and incurred the en-
nifty OF men who are now recognized by the city
government as being high up in the counsels OF
the party. To these men the transfer OF Captain
White 10 his old home came like a thunderclap
wholly unexpected. 1t was expected that If Cap
transferred to a distant point Last night he
dropped into the station, where he did duty pa
