Likely to Be Candidate for the
Senate, Vice Mcmillan.
DETROIT, Mich, April s0-secretary
Alger was interviewed tonight relative
to his prospective candidacy before the
next legislature for United States sena-
tor from Michigan to succeed Senator
Mcmillan. He was asked If Senator Nc
MILAN had intimated to him that he
would not be a candidate for election to
third term in the senate. Secretary
Alger said:
Senator McMillan has not only tnti-
mated but has positively declared to me
on several occasions that he will GER
tainly not be a candidate for reelection
and that If I choose to be candidate
he will do all in his power to assist my
candidacy"
TN case Senator Mcmillan should, how
ever, conclude to be candidate. general,
would you then withhold your candi-
dacy?"
"I did not say that replied the secre
tary, "and do not wish to be so un
derstood. I would yield to no man If I
had concluded to become an aspirant for
such an office, but am perfectly certain
that Senator Mcmillan will not be a can
didate. He has told me so repeatedly
and emphatically. 1 would not become
a candidate in the sense of making a
rough and tumble struggle for the sena-
torship. I do not believe that election
to the senatorship should ever come in
that way. But If 1t appeared to me to
be the wish Of a majority of the people
OF Michigan would be glad to make a
fair contest for that Office. Before Sena-
tor McMfllan's last election he said to me
that he was willing TO withdraw and I

MANILA, April 3o-While 1t is the
general expectation among Americans
that the Filipino emissaries will return
with revised proposals from Gen. An
tonic Luna, Maj. Gen. Otis is not letting
this prospect interfere with his prepara-
tions for pushing the war. Yesterday
he ordered Maj. Gen. Lawton to return
to Angat, a few miles northwest of Nor
zagaray, but not to advance aggressively
while the negotiations are pending Mao
Arthur is apparently acting on the same
policy, but he is repairing bridges and
strengthening the line of his force, which
is stretched out with a four-mile front
and within quarter Of a mile of the
enemy.
The possibilities of peace are graft
flying to a great majority of the army,
who have regarded the war as an un-
pleasant duty. Manila is cheerful over
the prospect of a return to normal life,
though there are skeptics who remark
that truce would enable the Insurgents
to rest until the rainy season, upon which
they have been depending as an i'm
portant ally.
1t is reported there are 75OOO refugees
north of San Fernando This Is not i'm

cleared. 1t seems also that smallpox is
spreading among them.

meet at San Fernando tomorrow.
