There Is no resistance IN any direction
that is worthy the name. but the Amer.
lean troops necessarily feel some ex-
hausti0n from the rapldity and energy
Of their own movements. As General
Otis says, They have suffered great
hardships and have performed severe
service" because they have been con-
tinuaily on the 60. The commander
adds, however. that they are IN EEK.

The country Is evidently on the eve OF
important events in the Philippines and
the people justly expect that after the
arrival Of $1,000 soldiers at Manila the
instruction will be soon suppressed.
Aguinado is injuring the cause OF Fill
Pine Independence because the longer
he continues In this warfare and the
more trouble he infcts upon the United
States, the more fixed will be the de-
termination Of our people TO hold the
Philippines as colonial dependencies.

The dispatch Of Wheaton 70 the Gulf

movement Made swiftly and secretly,
the result has probably been to place an

10 surround the Fillplnos by concee1d
movements OF troops on land, but owing

OF campaign iustifes a belief that the

Aguinaldo, win soon fall into our hands.

Division of Samoa.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The negotiations
for the partition of the Samoan islands
are proceeding rapidly and officials here
would not be surprised if a final agree
ment were reached in the near future.
The chances seem good for an agreement
that two powers divid the island thus
giving a dua government in place of the
present unWieldy ~tri-partite arrange
ment. 1t seemed to be generally accepted
by the negotiators that the United States
would be one of the two powers to be rep
resented and that the island of Tutuilla,
on which the harbor of Page Page is To-
Gated, would naturally fall to the lot Of
the United States. 1t is suggested that
Great Britain cede the Gilbert and Solo
mon islands to Germany, the latter retir-
ing from Samoa. The foregoing general
outline was given today in quarters we'll

tiations, although it was With this reser-
vation, hat the understandings were

Washington, Nov. 2.-Mail advices to
the war department indicate important
negotiations in the Mohammedan section
OF the archipelago. outside of the much
discussed territory Of Sulu. Through the
efforts of Mr.. X. Engelskjohn, a gentle
man of Norwegian birth. who enjoys the
confidence of the Tagalo chiefs in Min
danao, overtures of peace have been
made to General Otis at Manila. Min
danao is almost equal in area to Luzon,
being one of the two great islands of
the Philippines. The Mohammedans there
number $50, 000. and Spain has MAIN
tanned little more han nominal sover-
eighty. Thirty of these chiefs held a
conference with Mr.. Engelskjohn at
Z~amboanga and drew up a form of
treaty proposing terms of peace. They
have suffered greatly from the inroads
of the Moros, and offer to submit to the
authority of the United States on the
sole condition that sufficient American
garrisons be established in the islands
to protect them. These proposals We're
submitted to General Otis on the arrival
of Mr.. Engelskjohn, but what action has
been taken is not yet known

ports that the insurgents are running
short of Mauser ammunition and are I'M

He says, however, that they are we'll
supplied with Remington ammunition,
which they manufacture themselves.
They also manufacture dynamite and
powder from petroleum and salt, which
is shipped them from Manila and taken
into their lines at night.
Of the IA American prisoners held by
the insurgents at Tarlac, the rebels claim
that four have accepted commissions in
the insurgent army. Two Scotchmen,
named Mckinley and Macintosh. have
esca ped from the rebels. They say that
the insurgents claim to have $50 Ameri-
can prisoners scattered through various
towns, but they know of none, person

his IA sailors. The insurgents say, how
ever, that they nave two American ofi-
GERS in confinement besides Lieutenant

Colonel Smith at Angeles has sent to

Relieving the Distress.

Ponce, Porto Rico. Oct. 25.-(Coere-
spondence of the Associated Press!)-
Census officials have been appointednf for
enumeration will be taken between No
vember 10 and December 20. Already
the various officers are busily engaged
in the preliminary work n they are
making every effort and taking every
precaution to avoid errors and to get
complete and accurate data. d.
The Porto Rican benevolent society of
Ponce deserves much credit for the very
efficient work it has been doing in re-
lleying the misery II distress among
the poor Of this city, especially among
the Door and sick women and children.
The society is made up of the leading
aides of Ponce. and has owe 100 mem
bers only eight of whom are Americans.
The ladies work Systematically n per-
sonally visit the poor and help them.
This is quite a departure from the an
cient custom here. The society is going
to hold a bazaar in the remodeled La
Porta theater in December for the pur-
pose of raising funds to establish an
alms-house in order to AXE the numer-
GUS beggars off the streets of Ponce.
There is no such institution here. al
though there is great need of one. When
the alms-house is instituted a large num-
Der of the INDECENT can thus be taken
care Of for a comparatively small sum.
Now the crippled and infirm are seen on
the streets and are supported by the
pennies given to them each day. The
society is sending to the United States
hundreds of letters to prominent manu-
facturers and merchants, asking for
contributions of goods to be sold at the
bazaar. 1t is hoped there will be a gen.
erous response. for the contributions will
serve the double purpose of helping a
worthy cause and of introducing Ameri-
can merchandise into what is soon to be
"A new market,
