There is a disposition in some quarters to
hold the President responsible for the out
break in the Philippines because he did not
make an early and definite declaration of
the policy of the United States in regard to
the islands. This is not only unjust to the
President but shows lack Of intelligence on
the part OF his critics. There never has
been time when the President could hava

THE FILIPINO WAR.

Reports Indicate That the Task Is Growing
Larger.
A Washington dispatch says that
General Otis cabled the war depart
ment on Saturday the names of nine
American soldiers wounded on Tari-
quina road, north of the pumping STA
ton at Manila on Friday. Of those
wounded, one died Friday night. The
dispatch continues:
The reports of such skirmishes as
those noted, and the stories of frequent
firing by concealed natives upon the
American outposts, have conveyed the
impression to the officials here that
General Otis is rapidly being brought
to a pass were he must assume most
vigorous offensive campaign. Although
no instructions have yet been sent TO
him, it is assumed that he will feel
justified soon in doing this to prevent
the decentralization of his troops, and
also to make his position tenable in
the approaching wet season. The ma
ture of the country around Manila
favors the tactics the insurgents seem
to have adopted, after learning that
they could not face the American SOL
diers in the open field, and it doubtless
will be General Otis's task, just as soon
as his reinforcements reach him, to
clear them away.
Half dozen natives, concealed in
the jungle, and firing at long range at
Intervals, could make life unbearable
for a whole company of regular troops
until they were dislodged. Military
officers who have had experience in
this kind of fighting say that men be-
come panicky and lose their nerve un'
der this treatment.

Grant, the 1900 troops on that ship
will land at Manila about March 4.
A couple of weeks later the Sherman
will arrive at the same place with a
similar number of troops, and two
weeks after that the Sheridan is due
with the troops now embarking at
New York. Before the last of these
troops reach Manila the dry season
will have gotten we'll toward an end
and only a few weeks will be left for
active preparations, 80 there is need
for steady work in the preparations at
all points in order to assure fairly
comfortable summer for our troops. A
consideration that favors termination
of the struggle at an early date is the
fact that the latest reports rather indi-
cate that the insurgents are becoming
short of ammunition, and with re-
doubled vigilance on the part of the
naval forces around Luzon they may
be brought to terms on this account
as much as from any other.

TO INVESTIGATE THE PENITENTIARY.
House and Senate Arrange to Put StoI

House and Senate Arrange to Put Stop
to Rumors.
The following passed the house and
senate last Saturday without opposi-
ton. 1t was introduced by Mr.. Steph-
enson:
Whereas, there are rumors published
in the public prints charging irregu-
larities in the management and condi-
tion of the state penitentiary and
whereas, justice to the present super
intendent of the penitentiary and to
the Observation-Disclosures and to the
state demands speedy and thorough
of all the affairs of said
penitentiary, now, therefore, be it re-
solved by the house of representatives,
the senate concurring:
Section l. That q committee con-
sisting of two on the part of the senate,
to be appointed by the president of
the senate, and three on the part of
the house, to he appointed by the
speaker of the house, be appointed for
the purpose of investigating the affairs
Of said penitentiary.
Sec.~2. That said committee shall
have the right to employ an expert
book keeper and stenographer, to send
for persons and papers, to swear wit
nesses, to require the attendance of
any parties whose presence shall be
deemed necessary, and to investigate
fully all transactions concerning the
said penitentiary and its management,
and to take testimony, either within
or without the state, and shall have
the power to take charge of the books
and vouchers and other papers of said
institution.
Sec. 8. The said committee, at any
time when they deem it advisable,
may call to their assistance the attor-
ney general of this state.
Sec. 4. That the said committee
shall report its findings to the governor
of this state, together with the testi-
mony taken by said committee, and to
be by him transmitted to the general
assembly after he shall have taken
such action upon the report as he may
deem proper. Said committee may sit
during the recess of the sessions of
the general assembly.
