The War In the Philippines

The American advance northward
from Manila continued slowly on Mon

versed.
At Mariloa, twelve miles northwest
Of Manila and twelve miles south OF
Malolos, Aguinaldo's capital, the Fill
pino rear guard made stand
After heavy engagement there the
natives retreated, leaving nearly 100
dead on the field The American loss
in this conflict was six killed and thir-
ty.four wounded

Filipino loss is unknown.

which IL executing the advance move
ment, encamped last night at Mariloa
lie will continue the forward move
ment this morning
A reason for the comparative short
ness of the distance covered by the
Americans yesterday is fonnd in the
fact that Gen Macarthur spent the
morning accommodating his front and
was delayed by the fight at Mariloa In
the afternoon On Sunday his head
quarters were at Polo. nine miles north
west Of Manila. His advance guard
was at new Canaysn, two miles north
Of Polo and but mile south Of Mariloa,
the stopping place of Monday night.
The plan OF hemming in the FLIP
mos seems to have been failure. They
have all seemingly escaped to the north
ward toward Malolos. and Macarthur :

straight lire along the railroad leading
from Manila to Malolos
Gen Otis hopes that Agulnaldo will
make a stand at Malolos with his entire
army A decisive blow then struck
might end the war, bnt it is generally
believed that the Filipinos will aban-
don Malolos add retreat into the noun

Will Hobart Run Again I

New York, March % The Herald

ton
"Vice- President Hobart viii not con
sent TO q denomination for the vice
presidency in 1900. have high author.
| ity for this statement. The same an.
thority states that it is the earnest wish
Of President Mckinley and Of party
leaders that Mr. Hobart should again
be on the ticket. The support he has
given the administration by the able
manner in which he has engineered
important matters through the Senate
during the war period. coupled with
his personal popularity with the public
men generally. leaves no room for
doubt that his consent only Is necessary
TO bring about denomination.
MIR. Hobart, / am assured, is fully
determined to retire to private life
when his present term expires. The
condition of his health during the past
few months is mainly responsible for
this decision. He has found it impos-
sible to recover fully from the severe
attack Of grip he had during the win
ter, and has come to the conclusion
that the Washington climate during the
time his duties require him to be here
is detrimental to his health. Besides,
he is sverse to the excitement Of an
other presidential campaign.
President Mckinley and Senator
Hanna, knowing as they now do that
Mr.. Hobart will not consent to run
again, have doubtless given much
serious consideration during their ab-
sence in the South to the question of
Mr.. Hobart's successor. Word comes
from Thomasville today that they have
agreed a war hero will add great
strength to the ticket and make up for
some OF the loss the party will be bound
to suffer as a result Of Alge-ism. in
this connection Senator Ohandler's
suggestion Of the name Of Governor
Roosevelt has probably received atten-
ton.
1.-THE Roosevelt vice-presidential
boom, however, does not receive much
encouragement from his friends in this
city. They avow that he would iDjure
his chances for the presidential nomi-
nation in 1904 by accepting second
place on the ticket in 1900. and that II

On the report that the American gov
eminent had cabled TO It's admiral at
Samoa 10 act in accordance with the
decision OF two out Of three OF the
representatives. Of the powers, the Ger
man government made earnest repre-
sensations to she American ambassador
here. Andrew d. White, that the Ber-
lin treaty requires the concurrence OF
the three powers. and called attention
10 the dangers which were sure to arise
il there was anything, like violation
Of the treaty.
The American government made a
frank and conciliatory answer, which
has caused much satisfaction here. 1t
recognized the necessity OF unanimity
upon the part Of all three powers under
the Treaty as condition Of any settled
policy or permanent action, and de-
clared the admiral was only authorized
to act in agreement with a majority OF
the representatives Of the powers In
case Of emergency which absolutely
does not admit Of delay, but in such a
case the ratification or adjustment by
the unanimous vote Of the three powers
must be sought at the first possible mo-
ment, and no permanent arrangement
can be made without such unanimity.
The American government, it is add
cd cabled to its representatives in
Samoa to pursue the most friendly and
conciiatory policy toward the German
representatives and German interests.
