CRISIS AT HAND

The advices from Manila which have
reached the war department are far
from reassuring. 1t is understood that
Gen. Otis reports an expectation on his
part that the insurgents are about to
force an issue, and, If this should be
SO, the result cannot be foreseen. Ma
Mia itself, and not Iloilo, as might at
first be suspected, is regarded as the
danger point just now.
While the instructions to Gen. Otis
have been to avoid any hostile clash
with the natives, so far as that plan
is consistent with the maintenance of
his position, it is realized here that it
Is within the power CT any excited or
Intoxicated person to precipitate a bat
tie between the two aneagonistic forces.
For it must be understood that there
is nothing in Gen. Otis Instructions to
prevent him from most vigorously de-
Tending himself and the interests i'm
posed to his charge. Gen. Otis is so
efficient that the officials here feel no
anxiety as to the outcome of a contest
between the American forces and those
under Aguinaldo, particularly as Gen.
Otis would have the full cooperation
Of the American fleet under Admiral
Dewey. But it is felt that, If possible.
a conflict should be ayoided just now.
for the president has no doubt that the
misguided Filipinos can be brought to
a realization Of the true situation and
peacefully accept the American condi-

that it is not the intention of America
to make war upon the new republic of
the Orient. and which will explain to
1t why the large armies and navies
should be dispatched to the Philippine
islands, and that will. relieve his coun-
trymen of the fear that now possesses
them, that their liberties are In dan

name they have always believed was
associated with freedom and to which
they first came for recognition.
