 A GREAT many people have anticipated there would be trouble ar Manila with the Filipinos, and sure enough it came Saturday night. Shortly before nlne o'clock some of the Filipinos attempted to cross the American lines after being re peatedly warned back, when the sentry fired upon them. This was the signal for gen eral fire from the Filipinos and the fighting began in earnest. The firing ceased at midnight, but was resumed at 3:45 Sun day morning, and by ten o'clock the Americans were masters of the situation. The rebel loss is estimated at 2,OOO killed, 5000 wounded and 5000 taken prisoners. The American loss was 36 killed, two missing and Al wounded. Further trouble will likely oc- cur.

For war is the surest way for this nation to maintlin peace. That is the opinion of the wisest statesmen. It is equally true that to be pre- pared fer spring Is the best way to avoid the peculiar dangers of the season.

MEETING OF CABINET.
Devoted Almost Exclusively to Dis
cussing Presidents Message.

WASHINGTON, Nov. .S.-The Cabi-
net meeting to-day was devoted almost
exclusively to the consideration of the
Presidents message. A large portion
of the message was read by the Presi-
dent, after which the members entered
into a long discussion of the policies
and recommendations it contained. 1t
met with general approval, and after
the meeting had adjourned several of
the members expressed the opinion that
it was an unusually strong and able
document.
The protests which the cable reports
from Cuba say some of the Cubans are
making against the reported establish
ment of a civil Government in Cuba
were incidentally brought to the atten-
ton of the Cabinet by Secretary Root.
None of these protests, however, have
been officially received here.
Secretary Root said in answer to
question on this subject, that there was
no Immediate intention of establishing
a civil Government in Cuba This.
however, must only be taken to mean
that no decision has yet been reached
concerning the appointment of a Civil
Governor. But it can be stated upon
high authority that the alleged fomen-
tations now making in Cuba against
the establishment of a civil Govern
ment may result in allowing the pres
ent military Government to continue
longer than it otherwise would The
Administration does not seek to force
upon the Cubans a civil Government
that would be offensive to the majority
of the inhabitants of the island.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
It Is Practically Ready for Trans
mission to Congress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The Presi-
dents annual message is practically
completed and ready for transmission
to Congress when it assemblies next
week. The message will be unusually
long, on account of the numerous and
important topics 1t discusses. The por-
tions of the message treating of differ
ent topics have been sent to the Pub
lie Printer as they have been finished,
and proofs have been submitted for re-
vision.
1t is not certain that the message will
be sent to Congress next Monday. 1t
is customary to send it on the day OF
the assembling of Congress, but as the
death of the Vice President makes it
certain that the Senate at least will
adjourn Immediately out of respect to
his memory, it is not unlikely that the
message will be withheld until Tues
day. In the House the adjournment
will only be delayed until that body
is organized, when, upon the announce
ment of the death of the Vice Presi-
dent, it will also adjourn.
