TO END THE
CONFLICT !
That Is the Policy of War Seore-
tary Root,
FIFTY THOUSAND FIGHTING MEN

WIN BE Ready to Resume Active OPP
erations I'm the philippines at the
Close or the Rainy Season, ana More
VIII BE Sent Ir Necessary.
Plattsburg. n. Y, Aug. 9.-The war
in the Philippines is to be prosecuted
with a vigor that ought to result in
speedy cessation Of hostilities there.
Your correspondent saw Secretary Of
War Root last night In the office OF
the Hotel Champlain. just after he had
said gOodby TO the president and was
pi epari 10 take the train for WASH
ington. The secretary referred to his
visit to Plattsburg barracks in the af-
ternoon. where he witnessed a regi-
mental drill OF the Twenty-sixth regi-
llent under command Of Colonel Rice.
This regiment has been recruited and
organized in a little over three weeks,
and they drilled yesterday like old vet
Grams.
"The progress which the officers and
men Of the Twenty-sixth regiment
have made in drilling in so short a
time Is simply marvellous, said Mr..
Root 1T shows the wonderful power
of the United States when ten regi-
cruited, organized, drilled and equip
ped for active service in the field in
so short a time"
"Will the war in the Philippines be
prosecuted vigorously from now on?'
asked the correspondent.
Mr.. Root turned on his heel and re-
piled quick as a flash: Yes, sir, the
war in the Philippines from now on
l u 1H
| energy. All the men, all the arms and
all the supplies necessary to end the
/ trouble in the islands will be furnished
at the earliest possible moment"
How large a force will be at the
| disposal Of the commanding general
| there?" was asked.
There will be $4,000 men there
ready for active service at the close OF
the rainy season, about the last of Oc'
tober, and more will be sent there 4
necessary"
AS to the rumor published in somO
of the papers that President McKinle!
and he were not agreeable upon th'
policy to be pursued in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Root said;
"Of course that is all nonsense"
When asked whether General Otii
would be relieved of the command OF
the American forces in the Philippines
Mr.. Root replied that he had nothing
to say on this point at this time.
1t would be impossible for any ont
to be more emphatic and determined
than Secretary Root is in his avowet
policy of ending the trouble in tn,
Philippines. He seldom talks for pub
lication, and the fact that he had JUS
come from a two days conference will
President Mckinley adds interest tC
his words.
