The Japanese war Office has been
advised that on the 9th instant at
noon the Philippine islands were COM
PEELED TO surrender to the Japanese

From every quarter Of the land came
insistent demands for official news
from the government, coupled with re-
quests for detailed accounts of the de-
feat. The administration replied with
the brief statement that no verified
report of the action in the Philippines
could be given out at that time. 1t

The various members of the dinlo-

The various members of the diplo-
matte corps, even TO the highest of the
foreign ambassadors, gathered no new
information. They were invariably
told, first, that the United States
knew there had been a declaration Of
war; second, that the United States
knew that the Philippines had been
surrendered; third, that no orders had
been issued up to that hour for the
sailing OF any feet, but that it was eX-
pected orders would be given before
the day was over The men of the
foreign representation one and all felt
a gentle rebuff tantamount to being
told that the United States was at
tending strictly to its own business
and desired neither to be advised nor
to be compelled TO answer questions.
None felt this more keenly than the
members of the British legation, and
Guy Hitler in particular. His meet
ing of the night before with Miss
Roberts had not terminated satisfac-
torily, but had come to an abrupt
close when he babe her good night at
the door Of her home, and with all
his questions unanswered. Since that
moment there had been little time for
him either to brood over the situation
Or to conjecture over her strange at
titude.
Throughout the early morning he
hurried this way and that, receiving
visitors and answering requests for in
formation from Great Britain. His
superior, heated and exasperated,
broke in upon him almost as he was
starting to call up Miss Roberts resi-,
dence.

something in this governments atti,

had been withdrawn, the legation
closed and that the officials would
leave New York for their own country

Indignation The country was afiame
with war spirit. Guardsmen gath.
cred in their armories, awaiting Of.
fetal bulletins and the expected call
to arms; and yet no orders came.
The governors of several states tele-
graphed to the war. department for
advice; but their only satisfaction was
in the following message sent broad
cast by the secretary of state:
THE government, recognizing the
patriotism and readiness OF the Ma.
tional Guard of the United States,
does not at this immediate moment
desire its services. 1t is well to bear
in mind, however, that sudden call
may be issued at later date and to
be prepared for emergencies. 1t
wishes to announce further that in It's
judgment there will be no necessity
for fighting on land, and that the stu
alton is completely under control. So
far there have been no casualties re-
ported from the Philippines"
Whatever may have been the state
of the public mind before the issuance
of this declaration, the country now
gasped with amazement Some of the
more violent and outspoken journals
demanded of the men al Washington
statement of what they purposed to
do in this emergency, and the most
radical intimated in no uncertain
terms that incompetent adminiStra-
tons were subject to impeachment
But to all of this outburst the govern,
ment officials most directly interested
presented only the same calm, placid
and Indifferent front. There was moth
ing to be detected in their demeanor
to indicate that any action whatever
had been taken.
