Prominent Filipinos in this city are
of the opinion that the insurgents will
not again oppose the Americans with
their main force. From now on they
declare a guerilla warfare will be
waged which will probably last indef'
nitely. As the result of q disagreement
between General Aguinaldo and Mabi-

81 MAY

A Richmond correspondent OF the
Petersburg Appeal writes: There is
a good deal of interest manifested here
in the conference which took place in
Washington on Monday between Ssna-
tors Daniel and Martin, at which seve-
raj other prominent democrats were
present. Mr.. Martin has not returned
here at this writing. 1t was known in
Richmond that he went TO Washington
to talk with Mr.. Daniel, Mr.. Downing,
Mr.. Pitcher and others about the May
convention. There are some who be-
lieve that before very long Mr.. Martin
will advise his supporters by some
method TO either stay away from the
convention or to attend it. All he has
said on the subject up 10 this time has
been that he is willing to abide the
decision of the people an! is not afraid
to trust them.
Should Mr.. Martin need the power
full and active support OF Senator Dan
i'll in order to secure his reelection he
will get it.. Martin did more than any
ether mar to nave Daniel nominated
| over the late. John S. Barbour. Daniel
will never forget this service. He re
| CARDS Martin as one of the most useful
| men Virginia has aver bad in the upper
branch of Congress. He thinks p mis-
take would be made TO TURF the junior
senator down, and if occasion requires
! will say so in his speeches.
The trouble with the convention will
probably be that such plans as may be
presented will be hastily drawn and
imperfect. Many are coming here with
little thought as to measures, but with
the expectation that B ley candidate
will be sprung. The meeting Will be q
disappointment to quite q number II
when it breaks up Mr.. Martin shall be
the only candidate 10 the field. "Why
adopt a primary plan if Mr.. Martin is
not to be opposed?' is a question that
remains unanswered. There is not q
great demand for 8 primary per Sc.
| The demand grows out of the fact that
| there are many VINO want to beat cir.
Martin, aud they hope to accomplish
it by q hurraL peoples movement. II
| it was Daniel whose term would ex-
| pire soon this movement would not
have been started for il would be con-
| coded that he would win no matter
what method might be employed to
