Then lath er as a formal authoil station, for lie did not nofil the Insti action. Dewey was told to co-opeiate fully with t!en eiinl otls In any nu-usuies the latter might take.

Olllcl.ils noted one little Maw In Dewey's dispatch. In that he spoke of the A11101 lean aimy and navy as 'gen erally successful," convening Ju-t the bast intimation that at some points the results were not as satisfactory as at other". It Is lnfeiied here that this might mean tho development of weak ness it some- of the 11101 e exposed points on the American lines, which might easily be explained by the fact that the attack was made at night, poihaps in places where the Insurgents could eieep flose up lu the shelter of the tropltal jungle that glows neatly Into the town of Manila. llveiy confidence, howevei is felt that Genual Otis Is mauler of the sltu--itlon.
