VIGOROUS WAR ON REBELS.
Gen. Macarthur WIN Utilize All His Force
to Compel Insurgents To Yield to Au-
thOrIty of UaiSed States.

Washington. Nov. 1o.-The admins
tration has planned its winter cam
paign in the Philippines. Three weeks
ago Gen. Macarthur sent to Washing
ton his plan for quelling the insur-
rection in the islands. 1t contemplates
prompt activity and energetic en-
ployment of the volunteers during
the next two months, in conjunction,
of course, with the regulars.
The volunteers in the Philippines
will not be brought home until after
the 1st of January. 1t is now said
that the improvement in the trans
port facilities has made it possible
to delay the debarkment of the troops
until that time, two months later
than it was originally intended. This
affords better opportunity to COM
plete the plans made for attack on
the insurgents. As soon as the fight
ing season opens in the Philippines an
attempt will be made to force the in
surgents to surrender.

DEWEY COLLECTION REMOVED
Hall Of American History In the National

Washington, Nov. 9.-Admiral Dew
ey has removed his collection of gifts
which has occupied the most prom
inent place in the Hall of American
History in the national museum, to
his home in Rhode Island avenue.
The collection has assumed very large
proportions, representing thousands
of dollars in money value, and is al
most daily added to by some admirer
of the great sailor. It was placed in
the museum for the double purpose
of sharing it's beauty with the public
and as a compliment to the donors,
many of whom were children, or rep
resented the hospitality of our great
cities, as well as from the admiral's
private friends.

BRYAN MAKES A STATEMENT.
Rhe Defeated Candidate for the Preal-
dency Says the Magnitude OF the Re-
publican Victory Was = Surprise.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9.-W. J. Bryan
last night gave out statement con-
eerning the election. He says: "sThe
result was a surprise to me and the
magnitude of the republican victory
was a surprise to our opponents as
well as to those who voted our ticket.
It is impossible to aIaalyze the re-
turns until they are more complete,
but speaking generally, we seem to
have gained in the large cities and to
have lost in the smaller cities and in
the country"
Continuing, he says: '"The pros
perity argument was probably the
most potent one used by the repub-
hcans. They compared present con-
ditions with the panic times of '93 to
go and this argument had weight
with those who did not stop to con-
slider the reasons for the change. The
appeal stand by the president while
the war is on had a great deal OF in
fuence among those who did not re-
aliZe that a war against a doctrine of
self-government in the Philippines
must react upon us in this country.
We made an honest Eght upon an
honest platform and, having done our
duty as we saw it, we have nothing
to regret
Mr.. Bryan said he has no other plans
at present than to remain at home
until he had recovered from the
fatigue of campaigning. He denied
the report that he would remove from
Nebraska and make Texas his home.
