New York, March GA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Major
General Otis and the other members of the
Philippines commission will decide whether
or not the ransom OF the Spanish prison
ers held by Aguinaldo is to be permitted.
AS a result OF the representations made
to the president, Ambassador Cambon
and by the National Red Cross society
showing the deplornbe condition of the
prisoners and their inhumane treatment
by the Flipinos, it has been determined
to give General Otis power TO act in the
matter as he deems best, after advising
with his associates on the Philippines
commission. The president is hopeful
that it may be found possible TO obtain
The release OF the prisoners with little
delay, but he does not wish TO give Cen

PIPE LAYING IN THE DARK,

A Bettcr Understanding Reached
Between the President and the
Speaker. IL la snid

New York. March %, Tho Heraid's spe-
otal from Jekyl island snys: President Me-
Kinley and Former Speaker Reed met
again on Jeliyl island this afternoon, but
their meeting was formal, brief and with
out especial incident.
While there have been no formal pollti-
cal conferences today politics have been
discussed Informally by tho leaders. one
of the officials OF the club said that the
social gathering had brought about bar-
mony between tho leaders. The relations
OF Mr.. Reed and Mr.. Mckinley, he said,
are much moro cordial than they have
BEEN and while they are not yet friends
they are closer than before.
Senator Hanna aud Vice President IIo-
bart were asked for their views on the
opinion expressed by Senator Chandler
that Governor Roosevelt of New YORK
win be the next vice presidential candi-
date. Both of them laughed, shrugged
their shoulders and declined TO talk OF the
statement OF the New England seuatol.
When Senator Hanna was asked IL Mr..
Hobart would retire he said he had
nothing further TO say on this subject
Mr. Hobart he said, had announced that
he has no idea OF abandoning the field
Former Secretary Bliss said: u do not
think there is any ground or truth in
the rumor that has gained circulation to
the effect that MIR, Hobart will not be
tho next republican Vice presidential
candidate. With all due respect for the
opinion of Senator Chandler think thii
vice presidential boom business is littlr
premature. II Is entirely too carly for
speculation on the composition of tn,
next ticket but there is, so far as
know, no movement to keep Mr.. Hobart
off do not think Governor Roosevelt
or anybody else has been considered il
this connection"
Although there has been no formal con.
ference, individual groups have discussed
party plans, and it is certain that an
understanding has been reached on many
points II an all around conference wa5
contemplated II was not held because Of
tho amount OF preliminary talk It had
caused.
