tie proposition of the United States

the entire matter is III the hands of

that the latter is competent TO act at

OF the Cuban army are not promptly
surrendered by the Assembly, General
Brooke Will order the S5.0O0000 returned

By Telegraph to virglnian-Pnot.)

Foreign Affairs, Baron Won Buelow,
has curtailed his holiday, returning I'M
expectedly to the capital to-day. and
had lengthy conference with the Brit
ish Ambassador to Germany Sir Frank
Cavendish Lascelles, on the subject OF
Samoa.
SITUATION AT WASHINGTON.
Washington, April 3.-The President
and Secretary Hay have been giving
consideration to the selection of n rep
resentative Of the United States Gov
ernment on the Samoan commission,
which may be taken as a pretty sure
index of the confidence of our govern
ment in the agreement of the three
powers upon the commission plan for
settling the issues that have arisen rel
alive to Samoa.
The United States representative will
not be Il member of either the Senate
or the House OF Representatives, ac-
cordng 10 the present lights 1t is
probable that the effort Will be to find
some person thoroughly familiar with
the issue likely TO be presented in the
settlement of This Samoan dispute. The
question is 4 complex one, and having
generally dropped out of public notice
during the last ten years. the number
of persons of the official class who are
well posted upon ii is extremely linn
tied.
SPECULATIONS
In the absence of an acceptance by
Great Britain of the commission plan
it has not been possible 10 proceed to
outline the instructions to be given to
that commission. 1t is said that it does
not follow by any means that because
the commission is appointed, ii is 10 at
once overthrow the treaty Of Berlin. un-
der the terms OF which the three gov
ernments have for ten years admins
tered the affairs of Samoa. On the con-
trary it is entirely possible that the
commission Will be able TO adjust con-
ditions at Apia and elsewhere in the
Samoan group to the terms of that
treatY, and 1t is conceived here that all
that it is needful for reforming condi-
tons there and placing them on sat-
isfactory basis may be secured through
the adoption OF some additional arti-
cles 10 the Berlin convention, not even
affecting the general principle of the
tripartite control.
- SALISBURY IS WARY.
Many cable dispatches have been
passing between Washington Ind Lon
don in regard to the Samoan settle
ment. The main point is on determin-
ing exactly the extent or authority
which the high commission is to pos
sess. Lord Salisbury, the British Pre-
mier, is not disposed to enter precipi-
lately on plan until 1t Is fully under
stood just what the plan. in all its de-
tails. is The British government is as
ready as the Inited States or Ger
many to accept the general principles
of commissioners, but it wants to know
in advance as to the power OF the COM
mission AS Lord Salisbury is in the
south OF France. the inquiries and re-
plies have to be forwarded to him from
London, so that necessarily there is
considerable delay,

WASHINGTON OFFICIALS
PLEASED.

The War Department officials were
pleased by the cheering dispa tches from
General Otis received to-day. 1t con-
tains great deal OF encoura cement to
them, and those who know General
Otis we'll say ne is not a man to take
roscate view of a situation unless
there is reason for it. II is argued at
the Department that the Filipinos have
never been used to the kind of warfare
that the Americans have given them,
and for that reason they arc now
aware that it will be impossible for
them to accomplish anything by fight
ing. While there is disappointment be-
cause the movement for the capture OF
Il large force of the Filipinos was not
successful. it is believed the pressing
OF the insurgents steadily toward the
north, capturing their capital and driv-
ing them from place TO place has had
a very discouraging effect upon the ma
tives who have been following Agui-
naldo.
DESCRIPTIONS WILL RUIN AGUI-
NALDO.
1t is evident by the reference which
General Otis makes to accommodating
parties that he is having the country
thoroughly covered and that the infor-
nation which they are giving him is the
basis of thesdispatches received to-day.
II is believed that assertions will soon
deplete the army of Aguinaldo 10 little
or nothing. II would not take long for
an army of the kind he has gathered to
melt away and disappear in the noun
tains and ,jungles of Luzon.
IN THE VISAYANS.
That portion of the dispatch relating
to the Visayans refers to the opera
lions of which Iloilo Is the base. The
group, includes Panay, Cebu, Negroes.
Bohol and others of less Importance in
the same vicinity.
The rebellion against United States
authority was not very serious in these
Islands, being stirred up by emissaries
OF Aguinaldo at Iloilo. The constant
defeat of Aguinaldo's forces north of
Manila has no doubt had a depressing
effect upon other insurrectionists
