have been sent to Major General Otis
directing him to communicate to the
insurgents the information that the
treaty OF Paris had been ratified by
the Senate and to continue his opera
tions against them, so as TO promptly
crush the revolt against American
sovereignty.
The cruiser Boston, which left Ma
Mia Monday for lloilo, ostensibly TO
relieve the Baltimore, carries with her
instructions to Brigadicr General Mil
Ter to at once occupy lloilo with or
without consent OF the natives there.
In adopting such q vigorous policy
against the insurgents h President
Is actuated by n desire to bring to an
end with all dispatch the rebellious
movement Aguinaldo has started
against this government. II was de-
termined upon "a the result of the
conference at the White house Sunday
night and at u further conference in
the executive mansion to-day, which
was participated in by the President,
Secretary Algcr and Secretary Long.
At this conference instructions to
General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey
were prepared along the lines indi-
Gated. These officer, were directed to
cooperate in the campaign and the
President assured them of his con-
dence in their ability and discretion.
Approaching the impossibility of opcr-
ating n campaign from Washington,
General Otis has been notified that the
Presiden. leaves in his hands the con-
duct of the war, but he Is directed TO
act vigorously.
idcnt that as Don as A~guinaldo learns
of the ratification Of the treaty he will
appreciate the f~utility of a conflict
with the United states inc will be
willing to make terms OF surrender.
II is assumed that Agoncillo, who is in
Montreal, has taken measures to in
form Aguinaldo of the action OF the

of him and will send the information
into the insurgent lines without delay,
Secretary Long. for the, information
of Rear Admiral Dewey, cablcd TO that
Official the simple message, Treaty
ratified"
" Z Is possible, of course, that Aguin.
aldo may continue fighting, in which
event he will be shown no quarter,
but will be relentlessly pursued until
he Is forced to surrender. President
Mckinley does not intend to show any
vaccilation in this matter.
No apprehension is felt MS to the re
suit of the attack on lloilo. General
Miller has ut his disposal about 3,oOi
men and he will be aided in his opera
tions by the cruisers Baltimore ant
Boston and the gunboats Petrol am
Callao. There are said To be abou
10000 natives defending the town, bu'
they are badly armed and it is not be
lievcd any great difficulty will be ex
pperienced in driving them out.
As to the future policy OF the al
ministration in the Philippines tn

action until the report of the Schur
man commission is received.
