All Q.1iet at Illanila,

Manila, Feb. 10.~All is quiet here.
The Filipinos are lying low, except on
the extreme left and right. They are
evidently Concentrating between Ca—
loocan and Malabon. Judging from ap—
pearances‘the insurgents are being re—
inforced by better drilled men from the
northern provinces. In front of Ca-
loocan they are as thick as a swarm
of bees.

The American troops are beginning
to feel the heat at midday in the open
and they are also anxious to proceed.
The soldiers are impatient of restraint
while in sight of the enemy.

Sergeant Major Smith of the Ten-
nessees, has been ordered to proceed to
the United States by the next trans-
port as anéescort of the remains of
Colonel W’illiam C. Smith of the First
Tennessee volunteers, who died of
apoplexy during the recent battle with
the Filipinos.

3 ' To Capture the Dictator.

*Vnshington, D. 0., Feb. 10.—The War

“r is certain that the Aguin-

' 1 ' .ion has been broken, and
‘-1g for the announcement
5.: .al Otis has captured the
P11.-. > dictator and is preparing to
put him .- a safe place.

The president and the war depart-
ment ofiicials have nothing but praise
for General Otis and his course to-
Ward Aguinaldo. His refusal to recog-
nize or consent to a conference with
Aguinaldo has prevented rn‘any diplo-
matic complications, and has blocked
once more the scheme of the Germans
to interfere in the islands.

General Otis has had suggestions
from the war department that the best
thing he can do is to “Get Aguinaldo,
the sooner the better.” The president
does not want General Otis to go after
the Filipino, as he would after a bad
Indian chief. which means get him
dead or alive, but he does desire the
capture of Aguinaldo, so that the lat-
ter can be brought to some place where
“an be reasoned with without rec-

' ‘7: him as a belligerent. It is

therefore, that as soon as the
,. --.ptured, he will be ship-
: ~ ;~ :.'nited States as a military
p:;-—- -- ;-- kept there.
. Ha: €5--"- ral Otis responded to Agui-
naldo’s ;.-. uest for a conference he
would have been recognizing the bel-
ligerency of the Filipinos. Germany
would haVe . at once proclaimed the
right to sell arms to the insurgents
without having the course legally con-
sidered as an unfriendly act. It is said
in Congressional circles that if this
country recognizes Aguinaldo as a bel-
ligerent Germany will have an excuse
for intervening in the Philippines just
as we did in Cuba, although thefoffi-
cials at the state department deny
that there is any such critical state in
our relations with Germany.

It is nevertheless a fact that Ger-
many has been trying ever since last
May to force a declaration of policy
from the administration but without
success. of course. The German am-
bassador's instructions, it is said, were
to sound this government on a propo-
‘ition to make reciprocal arrangements

regard to naval bases.

At present there is no likelihood of
such a. proposition being made, be—

of the Filipinos, are not of the most

N. Y. Capitol Deficient-y.

Albany, N. Y., Feb. 10.—~Superinten—
dent of Public Buildings Bender has
presented to the commissioners of
public buildings and the finance and
ways and means committees of the
legislature a statement claiming that
there will be needed to complete the
year's work, ending October 1, 1899,
the sum of $221,000, and there is eight
thousand dollars in’the treasury. The
deficiency is therefore about $213,000.
The appropriation made last year for
Superintendent Easton was supposed
to last until that time.

Mr. Bender makes no charges eithcr
of extravagance on the part of his pro-
decessor, or dishonesty.

Mr. Easton says the deficiency was
caused by alterations to suit the en'-
larged assembly and senate, and that
the expenditures were approved by the
commission.
