How the republicans have r.versed
their attitude toward the negro since
Mr.. Roosevelt has become the head OF
the party. It used to be political as

the head Of the party can sit down to

Prospect Of Peace in luzon.

Manila, April l6.-Gen. Malvar has
.unconditio ionally surrendered to Brig.
Gen. j. Franklin Bell at Lipa, Bat.
sangas province, with the entire insur-
5gent force of the provinces of Laguna
and Batangas. Gen. Bell says his
s(Bell's) infantry is sufficient to queU
the insurectionary movements in Tay-
sabas and Cavite provinces and capture
all those in the field who have not yet
surrendered: but Malvar has ordered
the complete surrender of every insur-
gent to the nearest force.
Gen. Wheaton, reporting to the
division headquarters, says that all
resistance inlhis department has ended
and that the surrenders just announc-
ed mean that the ports will be opened
and that the Filipinos in the detention
camps can be allowed to return to
their homes in time to plant thecrops.
Gen. Wheaton is especially pleased
with Gen. Bell's care of the natives
confined in the camps. The officers in
charge are held personally responsible
for the quality and quantity of the
food served out and for the general
welfare Of the occupants of the camp.
After securing the mountain passes
Gen. Bell employed volunteer bolomen
for protection against ladronism.
Numbers Of Fill ipinos volunteered and
expressed the livliest satisfaction at
the treatment accorded to themselves
and to their families, who were in the
concentration camps.
Gen. Wheaton gives Gen. Bell great
credit for his indefatigability in con-
dncting the campaign. He was in the
field, on horseback, day and night,
personally experimenting the most
arduons operations.
The people Of Manila are delighted
at the prospect kof resumption Of
trade with the pacifed provinces and
are anxious to show Gen. Chafee,
Wheaton and Bell their appreciation
of the fact that the insurrection is
really over.
About $500 rifles have been received
by the American officers in Batanga
and Laguna provinces during the
part four months.
Gen. Malvar personally requested an
Interview with Gen. Bell in order to
make his complete So omission.
The lack of news from the island of
Sanar is due to detective cable. It
is believed, however, that the Ameri-
can commander there received yester-.
day surrender of all the insurgents in
Samar, unless the planned proceedings.
were altered.
