NEWS CANE LIKE A SHOCK.
administration Hoped Actual Fight
Ing Would Be Averted.
FILlPINOS SPANISH SUBJECTS.

WASHINGTON, Feb 0---Tao Manila
news came Ike a shock, for tho nd
mlnlstratlon, though appraised that NJ
ugly sltuatIon prevailed in. the Philip
pines, Ind clung steadily 10 the hope
that, by tact and patience, actua
lighting might be averted, and ever
those public men who folt that hostili'
ties would follow should the treaty be
ratified and the United States attempt
70 occupy the islands believed that
Agulnaldo would not force tho fight
ing wien tho treaty Of peace was In
10 most critical stage, Some sen.
ntoriat opponents OF ratification OF the
treaty hdhere TO their position, but
the general opinion In Washington Ia
that the news from Manila insures the
ratification OF the treaty.
II seems TO be Dewey's fortune al
ways TO be able TO report favorable
news, and, like all OF bis messages that
have gone before, hlscablegram told
OF the success OF the American forces
In the action. II was with real re-
greet, however, tnat the administers
ion learned that the insurgents had
forced tho Issue. IL had hoped all
oil along that they could be brought
TO sec the advantages Of placing their
trust in tho American people and re-
lying upon the President 10 deal justly
with them.
The situation Is regarded here rs
rather anamalous from diplomatic
standpoint, Legally, the Filiplnos arc
still Spanish subjects Therefore, II
operations continue outside Of the
limits Of Manila, as laid down in the
protocol, II will amount to resump-
ton Of the war with Spain, at least
technically
Officials noted one little flaw In
Dewey's dispatch, In which he spoke
Of the American army as generally
successful, conveying just the least
intimation that at some points the re.
suits were not as satisfactory as at
others,
No one here knows the real strength
Of the insurgents opposed to General
Otis. The accounts of their number
are conflicting, and none of them
comes from reliable sources. Still,
the best belief OF the authorities
at tho war department is that
they number about 10000 men, bnt
they are not comparable to the Amer
lean forces In personnel, discipline, or
quality Of arms.

MANILA, Feb. G.--'The Filipinos have
apparently reached the conclusion
that the Americans mean business,
now that the barriers are removed,
as there were no further hostilities
Sunday night, and no attempt was
made to recover the lost ground, 1t
is possible, however, that they are
following the tactics they employed
against the Spaniards, and will merely
lie off few days to recupcrate their
forces before returning to tho attack.
1t isimpossiblo to ascertain us yet
how the news has been received at
Malolos, the seat of the insurgent gov
eminent, but the Filipinos In Manila
express the opinion that the movement
for independence has received its death
blow, and that annexation will soon
be welcomed generally.

Real Estate Business.

In a conversation few Gays since
with real estate dealer of the city,
he said that he thought that there had
Deen more real estate transfers in the
three months just passed than in any
previous three months in the year.
This led to an investigation of the
records and showed that such did not
prove to be the case, but Recorder Ath-
ey stated that there had been a good
many more than usual at this season
of -4e year.
1t will be of interest to note that
there were in the three months begin
ming with April and ending with June,
1863; in July, August, September there
were 302, and in October, November
and December there were 80, making a
total for the county in the last nine
months of 1898 of 1905 transfers.
This shows that there. is some busi-
ness being done in the way of real es-
tate in the county and it is safe to
say that the number has not been larg-
er in the same period of time in any
one year for several years, If ever it
was equal to the present record.
