Required in the Philippines at Pres
ent.
Washington Sept. 16. These dis
patches were received at the war de
partment this afternoon:
Manila Sept. 16. Adjutant Gen
eral Washington: In my opinion bas
ed upon present indications no further
force is required here. The insurgent
leaders in politics and in the army are
still in an incitable frame of mind but
the better portion are amenable to
reason and desire to secure T approval
ana make a reputation before the civ
ilized world.
Otis Commanding.
Manila Sept. 16. Adjutant Gener
al Washington : I telegraphed the sit
uation briefly yesterday. The insur
gents have acceded to my demand
and have evacuated the entire city of
Manila except a small force in an outly
ing district. No difficulty is anticipated
aud no concessions were made to them
They express a strong desire to main
tain friendly intercourse with the
United States government in all
particulars.
They organized a congress Thursday
at Malolos 20 miles north of the city
to frame a plan of government. Man
ila is very quiet. The military gov
eminent is being perfected gradually
and a large force is policing and clean
ng the city. The health of the com
mand is satisfactory. Trade and com
merce are active.
Signed) Otis.
Washington Sept. 16. The ad
ministration is now so confident in re'
gard to the situation in the Philippines
that it has been decided to send no
more troops of any kind there at
present. Fully important as this
the determination to abandon at
least temporarily the plan of sending
6000 men from the Pacific coast to
Honolulu there to be held in reserve
for use in the Philippines in case of
emergencies.
Until receipt of tbe later advices
from General Otis at Manila the ad-
ministration confidently expected to
establish a great military base in Ha-
waii immediately sending the entire
force of regulars and volunteers now at
the Presidio San Francssco. The
only circumstance which can reverse
the decision to abandon this plan is the
posibility that the insurgents under
Aguinaiao may become open
ly hostile or the chance that
some foreign power will interfere
with our policy in the orient. Neither
contingency is in tbe opinion of the
president and war department likely
to arise. -
SAMPSON TO HAVANA

New York. Sept. 16. Win. Hickey
a stevedore of Brooklyn was killed by
a Mauser bullet from a captured Span-
ish rifle today. Hickey we one of a
gang of stevedores eogaged in unload
ing Mauser rifles captured at Santiago

not loaded. By some oversight a car-
tridge was left in one of the rifles
which Hickey was loading on a Hat
car. It exploded the bullet entering

nard liner Aurania is safe in port.

SPANISH TREATY
The Spanish Commissioners Have
Been Selected.
Madrid SeDt. 16. It is announced
that tbe Spanish peace commissioners
will be Senor Mentero Rios president
of the senate: Senor Abarzuza Senor
Villarutia. the Spanish minister to
Belgium; and Gen. Cerero. The fifth
member is left to Rios the government
stipulating that he must be versed in
finance in order to deal with the ques-
tion of Cuban debt.
TORAL HISSED
He Was Forced To Return To His
Ship When He Reached Spain.
Madrid Sept. 16. General Toral
who surrendered the Spanish army at
Santiago to tho Americans arrived at
Vigo from Santiago today. A great
crowd awaited his arrival on the pier

ficers not to land at Vigo.
Back From Porto Rico.
New York Sept. 16. The transport
Alamo from Ponce with 18 officers and
o.s enlisted men aboard arrlvad at
quarantlnu early khia morning.
He Will Take the New York To the
Cuban Capital.
Washington Sept. 16. In less than
thirty days the cruiser New York will
be in Havana harbor flying Sampson's
pennant as a real object lesson to the
pro-Spanish element in the Cuban cap-
ital. Jules Cambon French ambassador
at Washington has-given his assurance
that Havana harbor bas been com-
pletely cleared of Spanish mines and
torpedoes and may snow -be entered by
an American sbiD of war without
danger of sharing the fate
of the Maine. The work of rais
ing the mines was superintended by
officers of French cruisers and the
French government is practically res
ponsible for the safety of vessels in
that harbor for the present.
The New York which will be the
nrsi American war vessel of any size
that has passed between Morro Castle
and La Puerta since the Maine went
down to her doom will go to Havana
at the request of Admiral Sampson
who immediately upon her arrival
will take up his old quarters on board
Havana does not love the New York
but in spite of tbat fact
tbe cruiser will leave not later than
October 10 for the Cuban citv
mere to give support oy its presence
to the American commission now ar
ranging. for tbe evacuation of tbe is
land by the-Spaoish troops. Unless pre
sent plans are changed the New York
will remain at its station until early in
the spring.
MILES'S SOLUTION
FOR BIMETALLISM
Of the Troublesome Army Problem.
Washington Sept. 16. Gen. Miles
commanding general of the array has
submitted to the president a sugsres'
tion concerning the volunteers still in
service which will strongly appeal to
them. He recommends that the 100 vo
lunteer regiments now in the field be
reduced from twelve companies to eight
each and.that the maximum strength of
each company be changed from 106 to
70 men.
This plan if adopted says the gener.
al will allow at least 500 men of. each
regiment to be mustered out and yet
the organization of each would be ef-
fective and in case of need the maximum
strength can be easily secured by re-
enlistment. All the homesick volun
teers who are anxious to get away can
be sent home and there will still re-
main enough volunteers with tbe reg-
ular army to perform garrison duty in
Cuba Porto Rico and the Philippines
as well as for home defense.
Gen. Miles's idea meets with the
warm approval of volunteer officers
and all officers of tbe line in the re
gular army who believe he has sub-
mitted a solution for a very trouble-
some problem.
STOLE FORTOVE
So She Could Dress Her Child Like A
Princess.
Washington Sept. 16. Because

her own beautiful little girl Mrs. Amy
Marc Norris became a thief in order
to dress her darling like a princess.
Diamonds and jewelry from every
prominent establishment in the city
were pilfered and a great supply of
laces and silks for the infant were also
stolen.
After four months of tie boldest
sort of robberies that yielded to the
perpetrator gems of a value far into
the thousands Mrs. Norris was ar-
rested this morning and at police
headquarters she admitted her guilt.
She bad lived in torment for months
and was glad her orimes had been
stopped.
STRIKERS ARRESTED
But There Is No Disorder.
Monongahela City Penna.. Sept.
16. Great excitement prevailed this
morning when Sheriff Kennedy placed
forty men connected with the miners'
strike under arrest. The warrants
were issued at the instance of Jones
and Sons at whose mine the strike
movement was inauguarated. Among
those arrested is Vice President Dodds
of the United Mine Workers.
There was no resistance to the serv-
ing of the warrants. The prisoners
marched quietly down the main streets
headed by a band and followed by hun-
dreds of other strikers and sympathiz-
ers. The prisoners were taken to
Washington Penn. where they will
probably be admitted to bail. There
is a warrant out for President Dalen
