mas l1.1‘.g‘co.., D. C Jan. 13. -—The not

dispatch from General Otis at Manila
which, was; received. early in the morn~

“Conditions apparently improving.
Citizens feel more secure. Many na-

Several other dispatches from Gene-

Offs cxprcsscs the belief that if the
“stains quo is maintained for a few
days longer all danger of a conflict
will be avcrtt‘d.
This bit of intelligence has broughi
more comfort to the ofllcers than any-
thing else from General Otis. The be-
lit" w: s entertained with reference to
tho con dition s at Manila and in the is-
land of Luzon. but the military author—
luvc c interpreted it as having a
general application. with quite as
much bearing on the situation at 110110
as on that at the capital of the is—
lands.
The

advlcts from General Otis have
sfrc‘.‘.;‘.".l1t11:;tl the view of the admin-
istration that Aguinnldo is the mov-
ing spirit in all the mischief that has
been caused among the Filipinos, and
that with the ambitious young chief'-

pcrmle, there would be a speedy acqui-
escence by the insurgents in the dc-
sires of the l'nited States.
Some of the dispatches from General
Otis related to supplies which be de—
Despite his optimistic feeling
concerning the situation, he is taking
no chances in dealing with 'any emer«
gency. and wants many stores as soon
as possible.
Drlg‘udier General A. W. Greely, chief
of tho Signal Service, said yesterday
that while he had not-been officially
advised of the name of the officer des-
ignated as press censor at Manila by
(icneral Otis. he was satisfied that i:
was Colonel Thompson, the chief sig—
nal officer on the staff of General Otis.
Colonel Thompson is the senior officer
of his corps at Manila, and has had
considerable experience as a. telegraph
censor. He was the first military cen-
sor at Key Vest at the beginning of
tho war with Spain.
General ‘Grccly said it would not be
necessary to establish a censorship at
73ch York over cable messages to Ma-
nil-.1. All cable dispatches for the Phi—
lippines must come through Manila,
and the censor there can control ev—

Senator Foraker is not usually look—

would not object to another opportu-

When Sharkcy read Fitzsimmons‘s

The latter said that Sharkey needed

training in preparation for both Cor-

he would take the lanky Australian at
his word.
"Sl'larkcy wants to fight Fitzsim-

APORTO RICO’S PRESENT NEEDS.
Father Thomas Sherniau's Report of the
Islands Condition. -
Washington, D. C., Jan. 13.--Assist-
ant Secretary Meikeljohn made public
yesterday, through the division of cus-
toms, and insular affairs, Father Tho—
mas E. Sherman's very interesting and
instructive report to General Brooke
of his recent trip through the island
of Port: 0 Lion.
Father Sherman left San Juan on
October 19 and visited Arecibo, Utua-
do and Laws, and from thence pro-
ceeded south to Adjuntas alone and
unarmed, without witnessing any dis-
order.
Subsequently Father Sherman visit-
ed Coamo, Aybonito, Cayey, Caguas,
guns, Bucnas, Juncas and Humacio.
All of these townshe found in perfect
peace, and full of the sense of secur-
it}:
late in December, Father Sherman
ays. he visited the towns of Visdues,
lsr‘ajardo and Carolina, with the same
result.
' As for as his observations
Fathrr Sherman says that he found
the people of Porto Rico gentle, docile
and kindly, and that the Spaniards
living there rejoice with their Porto
Rican friends in the change of sover-
eighty.
The disorderly element is a very
small fraction of the population of the
island. “there is some timidity ex-
pressed on the part of property hold-
ers, but this is largely due‘ to the pa-
terna l svstem to w hich they hay e be~
come accustomed

CURRENT COMMENT.
One thing to be remembered is the:
the war will have to be fought all
over again in the magazines. This is
one of the vicissitudes of peace.
The most unfortunate royal family
of the nineteenth century is undoubt-
edly that of Austria. The old Empcro.‘
has lost his wife by assassination. his
son by suicide, and his brother, Maxi-
milian, by execution in Mexico.
Some of the New Englanders who in.
vested heavily in the great scheme
for extracting gold from sea water
still believe that the process will make
them rich. The gold brick dealer will
call on these guileless persons imme-
diaitely.
After a thorough overhauling. the
battleships are again ready for busi-
ness on a fighting basis. Yet, for the
present, their occupation is gone, and
will not return ‘until some other for-
eigu nation hidulges in excessive gay-
ety with the American eagle.
And now Germany is displeased with
the appointment of John Hay as See-
retary of State, for the reason, it is
said,'t‘l1at it indicates a steady growth
of sentiment in favor of an Anglo-
American alliance. It is a dull day
when Germany doesn’t find some new
American grievance -to growl about.
There are said to be about 3,000.000
Germans in the United States, and :1
very large proportion of the males
among them are trained soldiers. Those
people are taking every opportunity to
declare their loyalty to our Govern
ment, and they furnish an excellent
reason why Emperor \Villiam should
avoid a war with this country.
, Ornaments for the Hat.»
Hat 01';;;u-:c::ts are enormous. It is
going to be a marvel how the heads
upon which they are to appear will
Support them. It will require some
management of the head to obtain an
equilibrium. Many of these enormous
clubs are of jet, and two stylish ones
seen in one hat—big pins with enor-
mous round head, in the front of it—
cut steel. Many pretty bonnets are
made of slung jet, or black sequins, as
many people would say. All colors
are combined with the black. A beau-
tiful shade of orange that appears in
millinery might be called frosted
orange in contradistinction to the
burnt orange which has been so much
used. It has a pretty white frosted
effect. '
