divisions kept watchful eyes upon the
insurgent forces surrounding them.
Aguinaldo and his cabinet at Malolos
to the north had all but declared war
upon the obstinate possessors of the
city and had utterly forbidden their
leaving the lines of Manila and seeking
to penetrate those broader fields and
roads and villages without. Still hug
ging to Its breast the delusion that a
emi-Malaysian race could be appeased
by show of philanthropy, the govern
ment at Washington decreed that, de-
spite their throwing up earthworks
against and training guns on the
American positions, the enemy should
be treated as though they never could
or would be hostile. and the privileges
denied by them to American troops
were by the American troops accorded
to them. Coming and going at will
through our lines, they studied our
force, our arms, equipment, numbers,
supplies, methods; and long before the
Christmas bells had changed their
greeting to that universal feast day,
and the boom of cannon ushered in the
new year, all doubt of the hostile senti-
ments of the insurgent leaders had van
ished. Already there had been ominous
clashes at the front; and with every day
the demeanor of the Philippine officers
and men became more and more in
solent and defiant. Ceaseless vigilance
and self-coptrol were enjoineq upon the
soldiers of the United States, nearly all
stalwart volunteers from the far west,
and while officers of the staff and of the
half-dozen regiments quartered with
in the city were privileged each day to
stroll or drive upon the Luneta, there
were others that never knew an hour
away from the line of the outposts and
their supports. Such was the case with
Stewards regiment far out toward the
waterworks at the east. Such was the
case with the Primeval Dudes on the
other side of the Pasig, lining ne banks
of the crooked estuary that formed the
Rub;con we were forbidden to cross.
Such was the case with Canker and the
-teenth in the dense bamboo thicket to
the south, and so it happened that at
first Armstrong and Billy Gray saw
nothing of each other, and but little
of the White Sisters, probably for
tunate thing for all.
Ever since that memorable night on
the Queen of the Fleet, Gray had stu
diously avoided his whilom friend and
counselor, while the latter's equally
studious avoidance of Mrs. Garrison
had become observed throughout the
ship. The dominion and power of that
little lady had been of brief duration.

double the time under tropic skies, and
while other and worthier women were
sweltering three in stuffy box below,
it had cost but a smile. The captain
had repented him of his magnanimity
before the lights of Honolulu faded
out astern. The general began to real

comical when complicated with the
qualms of seasickness. There was even
noticeable aversion on part of some of
the officers of the Dudes who, having
made the journey from "the bay" to
Honolulu with the women passengers,
army wives and Red Cross nurses, nat
urally became the recipients of the
views entertained by these ladies'.
Quick to see if slow to seem to see, Mrs.
Frank has lost no time in begging one
of the young soldier wives to share her
big stateroom and broad and comfort
able bed, and the lady preferred the
heat and discomfort between decks to
separation from her friend. Then Mrs.
Garrison rendered both the run of her
cabin during the day and evening; sug-
gested, indeed, that Oh hot nights they
come and sleep there, one on the bed
and one on the couch; and they thanked
her, but-never came. She coddled the
general with cool champagne cup when
he was in the throes of NAL de mer, and
held him prisoner with her vivacious
chatter when he was we'll enough to

serious trouble seemed to consist in
keeping Billy Gray at respectful dis
tance. He sought her side day after

has been said; and when he could not
be with her was moody, even fierce and

White Sisters seemed to regain all the

Frost's face was at times thunder
cloud, and army circles within the outer
circle Of Mapila saw plainly that all
was not harmony betwixt that veteran
Benedict and that fragile, futtering,
baby wife. The bloom of Nita's beauty
was gone. She looked wan, white, even
haggard. She had refused to leave

PHILADELPHIA, June Ex-Governor
Roosevelt is to be the Republican nominee
for the vice presidency. He will be chosen
by acclamation tomorrow and will accept
the honor offered him by the national con-
vention This decision was announced late
this evening by Senator Hanna, of Ohio.
According to Mr.. Hanna's statement all
the avowed candidates for the vice presi-
dency, Secretary Long. of Massachusetts;
Representative Dolliver, of Iowa: Lieuten-
ant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff, of
New York. and Irving NJ. Scott. of Cali

proposal that, in the interest of party har-
mony, they, one and all, withdraw in Mr..
Roosevelts favor. After free exchange of
views, the ex-chairman of the national
committee frankly told the four candidates
that such course would meet the full and
cordial approval of the administration,
whose only anxiety was to give the senti-
ment of the party and of the convention its
freest expressions in the choice of vice
presidential nominee. Recognizing. as did
the four candidates themselves. that it was
the earnest wish of the convention that
Governor Roosevelt should fll the second
place on the national ticket. he heartily
applauded their unselfish purpose in yield
ing their own creditabe ambitions, and as
sured them that the end sought would be
accomplished through Colonel Roosevelt's
unquestioned and unconditional acceptance
of the nomination.
TERMINATED IN SURRENDER.
Mr. Hanna's statement, once on the
stirring and complicated canvass for the
vice presidency which has filled the public
eye for a week past suddenly and peaceful
~ subsided. The singular and desperate
contest of one man to escape a nomination
sought to be thrust upon him by political
forces, both friendly and hostile, had ter
minated in his surrender. The topic of po-
litical conditions had proved as il is al
ways likely to prove. too strong for the
will of the single individual however pow
erfully and persistcntly exerted. Colonel
Roosevelt had become the victim of a
movement. many OF the influences behind
which he was disposed TO distrust and COM
bat. At the same time he had been made
the unwilling beneficiary of one OF the
most spontaneous and fiattering personal
tributes known TO our recent politics.

evening by Senators Allison and Spooner
and other distinguished Republicans, and
it was known that conference was in
