KANSAS CITY SEEMS LIKELY TO SECURE
THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rR1sUNE.I

lBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.1
Washington, Feb. 21.-With the contest for the
privilege of entertaining the next Democratic
National Convention narrowed down TO two
competitors, Milwaukee and Kansas City, the
Democratic National Committee is not likely to
consume much time tomorrow in selecting
place of meeting. Opinion tonight seems to in
dcate the choice of Kansas City, though the
Milwaukee boomers have by no means given up
the fight. Vice-Chairman Stone. Of the National
Committee. the recognized power behind the
throne in that body is of course strongly COM
mtted to the selection of Kansas City, and
Chairman Jones is also naturally inclined to
help the cause of his Missouri friends and neigh
bors.
AS between the two States of Missouri and
Wisconsin, the former offers a far more con-
genial political atmosphere than the latter for
any convention which is to renominate the Presi
Dental candidate of four years ago. and reaff1rm
the platform which he made his Popustic
canvass. In point of facilities and promises of
financial aid. the two towns seem ready to make
about equal promises to the National Commit
tee
The committees sessions Will begin at the
Raleigh Hotel tomorrow at 10 a.
The consensus of opinion tonight is that the
Convention will be held before the Republican
Convention. early in June. possibly in the
last week of May.

ERNMENT
Washington, Feb. 21.-According to informa-
tion received at the War Department from Ma
Mia, with the end of the present expedition of
General Bates into the two provinces at the
treme southern part of the island of Luzon mill
tary operations in the Philippines will close.
Afterward there is nothing to do but undertake
TO maintain order through a police system. 1t
is said that attention is being given to that
subject. and steps are being taken TO form a
thoroughly mobile. lightly armed gendarmerie.
something on the order of the Canadian mount
ed police. to cover the island at all points and
conserve the energies of the regular troops
The arrest of a Tagal on the charge of being
a guerilla, as reported from Manila yesterday,
1t is said at the Department marks the be-
ginning of another policy toward the insurgents
who still remain under arms rather the de-
velopment of the old policy toward the logical
outcome of unsuccessful rebellion. As the
summary punishment of guerillas cannot be had
until some action has been taken to declare the
termination of the application of the rules of
war it is assumed at the War Department that
General Otis has already issued some kind of a
proclamation or notice to the natives. warning
them that if they defy the rules of war and
pursue predatory warfare they will be treated
as guerillas when captured.
The President is Gevoting especial attention to
the formation of the Philippine Commits
sion, acting the theory that the Army has
nearly reached the end Of its work in the islands
and that the time is ripe for the establishment
of civil governments throughout the archipelago.
1t is hoped that the personnel Of the Commits
sion be completed before the end of next
week. 1t appears that Mr.. DENLY was obliged
10 decline reappOintment a Commissioner
on account of physical inability to withstand
the hard work that will be involved through
the effort to visit all the islands and up
local governments.
1t is understood that the President has prac-
tically decided TO appoint General Luke T.
Wright, of Memphis, Tenn. member OF the
new Philippine Commission General Wright is
believed TO have the Endorsement OF Judge Taft,
the president of the Commission.

Cronje and the British troops who have over
taken and beset him. No information from Brit
ish sources has. however. yet been allowed to
leak out, any final result or even as to the
course the fighting has thus far taken. The
Beers, the other hand, claim TO have more
than held their own up to Monday. but there is
10 suggestion as to what has happened since
then. General Cronje is undoubtedly fighting
doggedly against odds, and as the War Office
continues silent il must be concluded that the
Boer commandant has not, far. met his
waterloo. Meanwhile every day will tend to
strengthen his position, as reinforcements have
been dispatched to him.
The relief Of Ladysmith is now only a matter
of days. perhaps hours An official communica-
ton from the TransvaaI agency at Brussels
states that Joubert is raising the siege in order
70 concentrate his forces against General Rob
erts General Buffers task is. consequently an
easy one, as, apparently, the Beers in Natal are
now only anxious to save the big guns with
which they have been bombarding Ladysmith.
