WASHINGTON, July %, 1901.

WASHINGTON, July ~, lJUl.
Members Of the administration are mum
as clans about the Philippines since the
official announcement that the Civil
Government in four provinces had been
suspended and an active military campaign
begun against the Filipinos. They don't
know what to say about this renewal of the
revolt Just after they had assured the peo-
pie of this country that the Filipinos were
delighted with the establishment of civil
government, and that everything in the
| island was heneforth to be lovely. In fact,
the administration was genuinely surprised
at the renewal of fighting, as it had really
accepted all the rosy Philippine stories it
had caused to be circulated as true. Men
who actually know the islands were not
surprised. They say it is only what may
be expected as long as we retain control of
the islands that it is merely repetition
of the experience of Spain during a century
past that there will always be opposition
to American authority, except in places
where the military force is too strong to
make it expedient to show it,
The anti-Schley gang in the Navy De-
partment overdid their last attack on Adj
miral Schley, and they are now trembling
for fear of the result, as Schley's friends
are up in arms and determined to have the
thing fought to a finish once for ALL in Con-
gress- nii' NIcNinioy mas ''iso iis'. =
In the PIE. IL was ,iVer d warm ,eiesian !.
from him that Secretary Long declared his
ignorance OF the abusive and blackguard
language toward Admiral Schley in the
third volume of Maclay's history of the U.
S. Navy, written bya clerk in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, and announced that he had
ordered the volume strieSen from tne use
OF text books used at the naval academy
But IN ms anxiety 10 staha py the gang,
MT. Long showed MS own prelauice against
Admiral Schley, even Whlle expressing MS
belief in his bravery and gallantry, by say
ing that he had advised MS peing court
martiaiea ior ulSopeuiehoo Vi oluoio' Du'
Mr.. Mckinley had refused to order a court
martial, and lot more OF the ros tnat was
put In circulation by the antl-ocnley gang
at the time they were paving tne way iof
an excuse to give the command OF the west
Indian Squadron to sampson. II Mr. NC
Klnley was like some PRESIDENTS VINO mlgnt
be named, there would De an immaculate
vacancy In the cabinet. When Secretary
Long made the positive statement that
Schley should have been court-martlaiea,

went dangerously close to INSTRUMENTATION
