Not Loolk for Any EARLY Cessation
Of Hostilities.

Washington, June 1.-The secretary
Of war has made public the report of
Gen. Otis, dated from Manila, trans
hitting the reports of his subordinate
officers on the operations around Ma
Mia up to April6. The general says he
desires particularly to call attention
to the rise and development Of condi-
tons and circumstances which resulted
finally in war. This he deems to be es-
sential in order to correct the some
what prevailing impression that the
government of the United States is re-
sponsible through deceit or wrongful
action for the present existing hostile
ties. To this end he gives short sum-
mary of the Philippine instruction
against Spain, laying stress on the fact
that small band of the natives of Luz
zon, leaders of the rebellion in 1896
against Spain, were induced for mon
etary consideration to leave the island.
These men returned to the vicinity of
Manila after the destruction Of the
Spanish fleet there, being, as Gen. Otis
says, encouraged without authority to
attempt the organization of what they
were pleased to denominate an inde-
pendent government for the Filipino
people" Gen. Otis then gives an ac-
count of his efforts to convince the Fill.
pinos of the friendly purposes Of the
United States. He shows how persist
emily he labored to prevent hostilities,
and how the first outbreak was precipi-
tated by the insurgents.
Treacherous Natives Punished.
Washington, June 2.-The war de-
partment has received the following
dispatch from Gen. Otis at Manila,
dated June I:
Smith reports from Negroes that he has
punished insurgents who murdered Capt.
Tilley: that eastern coast Of island is now
under American nag and Inhabitants ask
protection against robber bands; the bands
pursued into mountains by United States
and native troops severely punished.
Gen. Lawton's New Command.
Manila, June 2.-Gen. Lawton has
been given command of the defenses Of
the city and troops forming the line
around Manila, which will be his diyi--
sion.
Gen. Macarthur commands the out

st. Louis Platform Endorsed.


st. Louis Platform Indorsed.
The platform adopted reaffirms the
principles declared by the st. Louis
platform. It Endorses President Nc
Kinley as follows:
1--WE earnestly indorse the great admin
istration Of William Mckinley 1t is dis
tinguished to remarkable degree in the
history Of national administrations. I'm
public credit has been restored. the pros
perity Of the people has developed, our
commerce has grown great our trade.
domestic and foreign. has increased to a
degree never before known. and the peo-
pie are looking with confidence for greater
things to come.
1.-THE magnificent achievements OF our
army and navy in the war with Spain for
the liberation of the downtrodden and OPP
pressed people of Cuba from the domina-
ton Of Casttlian despotism. accomplished
under the master guidance of q republican
administration, are necessarily subjects
for highest encomium by a convention Of
Ohio republicans.
ITO the same master guidance, con-
trolled by the great principles that have
shaped the high destiny Of the republican
party, from Lincoln to Mckinley, the
people can safely commit the solution of
momentous problem of the future Of Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Their wise
solution will vastly increase our foreign
trade, spread American civilization abroad
and add to the honor and power and glory
Of this great nation.
I'VE commend the president for the ju-
dicious notifications of the civil service
rules recently promulgated.
For the national defense, for the re-
enforcement of the navy. for the enlarge
ment of our foreign markets. for the en-
ployment Of American workingmen in the
mines. forests. farms. mills. factories and
ship yards we demand the immediate en-
actment of legislation similar to that ia
vorably reported to each branch Of the
Fifty-fifth congress at its last session, so
that American built, American owned and
American manned ships may regain the
carrying Of our foreign commerce
In reference to state matters the gen.
eral ASSEMBLY is commended for the pas
sage of an antitrust law. and such I'M
lawful combinations are, denounced as
inimical to the interests of the people.
and the party is pledged to such further
legislation as experience may deter.
mine necessary to prevent the forma-
ton and operation of such iniquitous
and dangerous combinations. A pro-
test is made against lynching and the
Ohio centennial at Toledo in 1902 is
strongly favored.

San Francisco, June 3.-Brig. Gen.
Charles King. who returned home on
the transport City of Puebla, owing to
i'll health, in an interview said:
1.-The situation in the Philippines is most
serious The people of those islands will!
keep up a guerilla warfare and there is
no telling when the hostilities will cease.
They retire to the Businesses of their
mountain retreats when they are whipped
and hide in the jungles Subsisting on
practically nothing. they have no need
for base Of supplies. It will necessitate,
large force of men to subjugate them
completely. The war in the Philippines is
by no means ended Their intrenchments
were works of military engineering and
construction. equal to the best that the
most civilized military nations have pro-
duced. Under the Spanish regime the
Filipino learned something of war. and We
are receiving evidence of this every day.
THE volunteers who fought in the Phil
ippfnes are splendid lot Of men. capable
and accomplished fighters. They behaved
like veterans when under fire and there is
that awful country will adorn pages OF
American history recently made and yet
unwritten."
No Gait for Volunteers.
Washington, June 3.-The cabinet at
its meeting Friday decided that there
was no present necessity for the enlist
ment of volunteers.
The situation was gone over very
fully before this conclusion was
reached. The president stands ready at
any time it may appear necessary to
authorize the enlistment of the volun-
teers should more men be deemed
necessary, although hoping that such q
contingency may not arise. Gen. Otis
is to be given the 10000 men for whom
he has asked. The additional 5000 or
5000 troops to make up the 10000 are
to be taken from the regulars now serv-
ing in Porto Rico. Cuba and this coun-
