AMERICA rs SUPREME
Gen. MscArthur's Report Of True
Conditions in the Philippines.
Only Few Guerrilla Bands Causing Trouble
Civil Government Giving Satisfaction
-Aguinaldo Person of Charac-
ter and Personality.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Gen. MacAr-
thur, who commanded in the Philip
pines, is here reporting to the war de-
partment. He says relative to condi-
tions in the islands:
"There is no organized resistance
to the authority of the United States
in the island, aside from few bands
of guerrillas.
"The general conditions in the is
lands are excellent. Civil government
has been in practical force in the ar
chipelago since July 4, last, and it is
now in full swing. 1t was instituted
under the most favorable auspices.
1.-THE civil government is now being
conducted under the most favorable
circumstances. The people are sat
isfied-more than that, in fact, for
they are greatly pleased with the new
administration. 1t does not seem pos
sible that any further trouble of q
general character can ensue.
"For the present, SO far as oppor-
tunities are concerned, conditions in
the islands offer all sorts of chances
for all sorts of business and pro-
fessional men. 1t is unnecessary to
enumerate the resources and capaci-
ties of the islands. That is a subject
that has been expatiated upon. They
are, of course, of great volume.
"Aguinaldo as parsonage and

to all of us since his capture. His
conduct while in the custody of Amer
lean forces has been quiet, dignified.
manly and in every other respect of
n kind calculated to excite admira-
ton. Aguinaldo is a man of consid-
cradle personality. His dignity soon
came to be matter of remark among
those with whom he was brought into
contact after his capture, and upon
being confined he did not offer sign
or utter n word of resentment over
his captivity. The Americans found
him to be great deal more of a
man than they first thought he was.
He no doubt has accepted American
supremacy as inevitable, and ! believe
he is now satisfied with the manner
in which we are conducting the af-
fairs of the archipelago. He has never
made an inquiry of the Americans as
to what disposition they intended to
make of his case, and he is altogether
amiable and agreeable. What dis
position will finally be made of him is
hard to tell"
The general spoke in a hopeful tone
concerning the conditions of the Phil
ippines and the prospects of the flu
ture. While he thought it would be
prudent to retain 10000 troops in
the islands for the present, he thought
that within six months it would be
possible to begin to reduce this force
by degrees.
Gen. Macarthur is particularly in
terested in the educational problem.
and looks to the schools to make good
citizens of the Filipinos. He says
that, regardless of their political feel
ings, nearly all the Filipinos are ex-
ceedingly anxious to learn English,
and the children are remarkably apt
pupils. He is also impressed with the
Importance of direct cable commune
cations between Manila and San Fran
cisco.

7AMMANY GIVES UP KINGS.
CROKER's ADVISERS SAY FUSIONISTS
WILL HAVE 5000 PLURALITY THERE
TRYING TO BRIBE SHEEHAN MEN.

Richard Croker yesterday at Tammany Hall
received number of dsagreeable surprises
from district leaders who are canvassing their
districts. Brooklyn is now conceded by Tam
many to Low and the fusion ticket by at least
5000 plurality. The hope is that there
will be Tammany pluralities in the other bor-
oughs of sufficient magnitude so that the Brook
lyn Low plurality will be wiped out. Manhattan
and the Bronx claimed by the Tammany
men by 10000, Queens by $500. and Richmond
by 1000 This gives a Tammany plurality of
s3, 800 from which must be taken the conceded
fusion plurality of 5000 in Kings. leaving Tam
many, from the Wigwam point of view. plu-
rality in all the boroughs of 25.5O0.
This is a sorry showing for Tammany. say
the leaders, on the eve of an election in which
hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent
TO bribe and coerce former Tammany men into
voting for the tiger ticket Mr.. Croker ordered
that efforts be redoubled from this time forward.
The Greater New-York Democracy men are
the remaining hope of Croker. More than fifty
clerks in the employ of Tammany Hall yester-
day and the day before copied the names and
addresses from the Greater New-York Democ-
racy nomination petitions at the Board of Flee
tions. There more than twenty-five thousand
of these names. and Tammany agents with money
in hand are already at work trying to get John
c. Sheehan's men away from him. One of Mr.
Sheehan's signers is a doctor in the IXth Dis
trict. On Tuesday night the doctor was awak-
ened at late hour by his servant, who told
him that there were two men at the door who
wanted to see him about something important.
The doctor sent word that he had gone to bed
and would not come down. The men were per-
sstent and finally the doctor told the servant
tC let the men come upstairs. When they got
into his bedroom they said:
did you sign the Greater New-York Democ-
racy pettions?'
Just what the doctor told them would not
look we'll in print. He ordered his midnight
visitors out Of he house.
On the strength of their preliminary canvass
the Tammany district leaders sent around the
timeworn tip to "bet all the money you
borrow and tell your friends to bet" This was
given out at the John Doe headquarters at the
Rossmore Hotel the new county ticket
headquarters is called. Tim Sullivan told his
friends to go right out and bet all the money
they had on the general result Nobody took his
advice. The betting men said that everything
was at standstill with them. and that they
were befogged over the situation.
