State and War Department OFF,
) Gals Look For a Speedy
Termination
OF Hostilities in the Philippines
Belief Based on Private In
formation
As to the Negotiations Which
Have Been Going on at
Manila.
President Will Allow No Prom
ises as to the Future Of the
Islands.


wAsHrNdrox, May s.-The officials
Of the state and war departments arp
looking for speedy collapse of the ii
surrection IN the Philippines. Not only
is this expectation based on the private
advices that have come from the Philip
pine commission as to the negotiations
that have been going on between that
body and the insurgent representatives,
but also upon the successful develop
ment of MacArthur's and Lawton's
campaigns. So far as the commissions
reports are concerned they indicate
that the insurgents have at last realized
the inevitable break down of their
struggle and are simply striving, by
protracting their resistance, to secure
the most liberal terms possible in the
erection Of government in the Philip
pines. They have not in any diplomatic
sense acknowledged the sovereignty of
the United States, but have recognized
the physical domination of our military
forces, and while they have talked more
or less Of independence, even at the last
moment, without sdoubt they will &C
cept readily any proposition looking to
q protectorate. The presidents instruc-
tions, however, are clear on this point,
and the commission understands that it
is to take no action in way of making
promises that will deprive congress of
hand in disposing of the future Of the
Philippines.
It is believed that an animating pur.
pose in the Philippines presentation is
to make sure that whatever form of
government is adopted will afford lu-
crative and influential places for the
many ambitious Filipino leaders. The
administration sees nothing in this
aspiration irreconcilable with firm
government over the islands by the
United States, the opportunity for the
Filipinos being found in liberal pro-
vision for municipal and even provincial
native government in the islands.
United States officials properly distrib-
nted throughout the islands, in super
visory capacities, charged to interfere
as little as possible with local affairs SO
long as they are conducted with
out abuses, and a few garrisons
of troops at strategic points, supported
by naval contingent, it is thought by
officials here. may prove to be all that
is necessary for the effective mainten-
ance of the United States sovereignty
over the islands while meeting the
native aspirations for home rule. The
Philippine commission has been in
structed on these points and President
Schurman, especially, is sanguine of the
commissions ability to bring about the
acceptance of these conditions by the
insurgents.

FROM EDINBURGH

Edinburgh, July 17.-(Special Correspond

selected for this purpose than the circular
one from Glasgow via the Trossaohs to
Edinburgh. The route includes a days

New York, May 8, 1S99.-Executiye Com
mittee of the American Cotton Compress
Company II Broadway-Dear sir: 1t is
proposed to consolidate by purchase or
otherwise some of the most desirable COM
presses in the southern states, provided
such consolidation can be arranged on a
conservative basis.
I'VE are in consultation with the repre-
sentatives of ali the capital required for
the business who are willing to take it up
If 1t can be put upon an attractive basis.
I'VE desire to call your attention to the
fact that in order to meet the competition
that has arisen from the round bale sys-
tenn, 1t will be necessary for the congresses
referred to to consolidate under one general
management, fully able and capable to re-
duce expenses by improved methods, more
uniform systems of COMPRISING (aided by
the adoption of the standard box, to OBJ
tain lower rates of insurance and secure
lower rates of freight to foreign and do
nestle points.
1--WE recognize the advantages both to
you and us of utilizing your personal infiu-
ence in the new business, as well as your
plant but at the same time we feel conf
dent that unless a consolidation can be ar
ranged on an obviously economical basis,
we may not be able in the long run to sue
cessfully compete with the round bale sys-
tens or with other new congresses which
come into the field.
IF it is your desire to sell your press
property as a reasonable price, please be
kind enough to answer the list of ques-
tons enclosed and also sign the option en-
closed.
The information received will be strictly
confidential and not disclosed to any one
else in the business of COMPRISING cotton,
except with your consent.
"As there are over two hundred COM
presses, and as 1t will require considerable
time and labor to send a committee to ex-
anime these properties and books and
make all proper arrangements, 1t is there
fore necessary that the option shall hold
good for not less than six months from the
date of our signing
UNLESS we hear from you within two
weeks of this date we shall consider that
you are not disposed to enter into the pro-
posed consolidation. Awaiting your reply,
we are yours truly,
