Cincinnati, Nov. 8. —The Republicans
have elected George K. Nash governor
and the rest of the state ticket by about
40,000 plurality. They have also elected
a majority of the legislature.
Joaae. the "Golden Rule" candidate,
received about 100,000 votes in the state.
He carried Cleveland, Hnnna's home, by
10,000, but lost his own town, Toledo, to
Nash by about 2,000. Contrary to expec
tations, Jones took more votes from the
Democrats than from the Republicans.
At midnight Colonel Dick, chairman
of the Republican state committee, said
his prediction of lust Saturday of 75,000
to 100,000 votes for Jones, 50,000 plurali
ty for Nash and Republican majorities
In both branches of the legislature would
be realized in every particular.
Chairman Seward of the Democratic
committee has nothing to say.
At 11:30 p. ra. Senator Hanna sent a
telegram to President McKinley, who
was in a sleeping car en route, telling
fclm that the Republicans hud carried
the state and that Nash's plurality would
be not less than 25,000.
Mayor Jones, the nonpartisan candi
date, concedes his defeat, but says that
if his work has contributed to the over
throw of imperialism he is well satisfied.
Nash carried his home county, Frank
lin, by 1,500, a net gain of 2.8(H).
McLean, Democratic candidate for
governor, carried Hamilton county (Cin
cinnati) by about 4,000. The entire fu
sion county ticket, composed of Demo
crats and independent Republicans, has
been elected by widely varying majori
ties. The fusion ticket is composed
mainly of Democrats, the share of inde
pendent Republicans consisting of minor
local offices and half the legislative tick
et. The fusion victory is a great blow to
George B. Cox, who for more than a
decade has ruled the Republican organ
isation in Hamilton county.
The local campaign was simply a ques
tion of Cox or anti-Cox, and the antis,
through an alliance with the Democrats,
feave won.
I Mayor Jones late lust night said:
"The result of the election is extremely
gratifying to cue, as it must be to every
lover of liberty. The vote for the non
partisan idea is large enough to justify
the claim that the cause has won the
greatest victory ever recorded in the po
litical history of the state.
"I believe the moral force will lend
the legislature to puss the municipal code
commission bill, which provides that ev
ery municipal officer in Ohio shall be
elected by the nonpartisan plan, doing
away entirely with political parties in all
our cities. Furthermore, the vote for
the nonpartisan idea will huve its influ
ence in shaping national issues next year.
There will be more of morals in the na
tional platforms by the reason of it.
"I am thankful thut the nonpartisan
vote in Ohio may he recorded as favor
ing a Christian policy toward the Philip
pines."
GOEBEL DEFEATED.
General Taylor Winn Kentucky ly
.Small Majority.
Louisville, Nov. B.—By the combined
efforts of the Republicans and anti-Goe
belites Attorney General W. S. Taylor
(Rep.) has been elected governor of Ken
tucky by a majority variously estimated
from 7,000 to 15,000 over Goebel (Dem.).
Returns received up to midnight also in
dicate the election of the entire Repub
lican ticket, while the Complexion of the
legislature is in doubt.
The weather throughout the state was
perfect, and more than an average vote
was polled, the total falling but little
short of the vote polled in the lust presi
dential election.
Chairman Long of the Republican cam
paign committee said at midnight that
Taylor's plurality would not he less than
15,000. This estimate, he said, was
based upon estimates received from the
majority of the counties in the state.
Governor Bradley estimates Taylor's
plurality at from 15,000 to 18,000.
U Republican gains ure maintained,
Taylor's majority in the city will reach
4,000.
Senator Blackburn and others at Goe
bel headquarters at midnight admitted
the returns from many Democratic coun
ties are disappointing, but claim this
partially offset by private dispatches
from the Eleventh district, indicating a
failing off in the Republican vote. Black
burn claimed at midnight thut Goebel
would win by 5,000.
This is a reduction of 25,000 as com
pared with cluinis made two hours ear
lier. With six precincts out, three of
which did not come in last night, Goe
bel's majority in Fayette county is esti
mated at 300, a Republican gain over
Bradley's vote. The Democratic city
ticket wins by a small majority.
The Brown vote (anti-Goebel Demo
cratic) is small, the great majority of the
Democrats opposing Goebel having voted
outright for Taylor.
Chairman Long gave out the following
statement at 1 a. m. regarding the next
legislature:
"The Republicans have elected teu
senators out of 19 sure. Three more are
believed to have been elected, but the re
turns are not complete, while one is in
doubt. There are two Republican hold
overs and six anti-Goebel holdovers.
"In the house the Republicans have
elected 41 members certain, 'die Demo
crats 55 and the anti-Goebel Democrats
five. The districts in doubt and not heard
from number 19, which include Campbell
and Kenton counties and three districts
in the city of Louisville. This insures a
fusion majority in the house against the
Goebel law and prohuhly u Republican
majority."
NEW YORK ASSEMBLY.
Republican Gain of Seven or Eiiffht
Members.
New York, Nov. B.—The chief interest
in the election in this state centered in
the lower house of the legislature, the
assembly. The Republicans have made a
net gaiu there of seven or eight members.
The losses in New York county are prob
ably offset in Kings. The assembly is
likely to stand 95 Republicans and 55
Democrats. The present year it had a
membership of 87 Republicans and 93
D emoerats.
Exciting municipal elections were held
in several cities. The Republicans carry
Buffalo. Rochester, Albany, Cohoes uud
Troy. The Democrats were successful in
Syracuse and Uticn. The most signifi
cant of these local contests was that in
Troy, where ex-Senutor Murphy's candi
date was turned down.
Erie county, which went Democratic
last year, returns to the Republican col
umn. Chemung, ex-Governor Hill's old
home, gives a large Republican majority.
Schoharie, the only county that gave
Bryan u plurality, nearly slipped from
the control of the Democrats yesterday.
The state as a whole shows a Repub
lican plurality of about 35,000.
The fate of the constitutional amend
ments is not as clear as it might be, but
it is probable that they were all carried.
The heavy vote of New York and Kings
counties in their favor doubtless deter
mined the matter.
IN MASSACHUSETTS.
Repuhlicaim Well I'IPHHIMI With life
05,000 Majority.
Boston, Nov. B.—The Republicans car
rieu Massachusetts by 95,000 votes, and
W. Murray Ci'une of Duitou will be the
next governor. The entire Republican
state ticket was elected by practically
the same plurality as the head of the
ticket, and the legislature of 1900 will
also be Republican by the usual large
majority, there being few changes in
either branch. The total vote for govern
or, with one town missing, is as follows:
W. Murray Crane (Rep.), 198,849; Rob
ert Treat Paine, Jr. (I)em.), 103,812.
The following signed statement was
given out by Chairman A. H. Goetting
of the Republican state committee:
"The Republican state committee is
very much pleased and well satisfied with
the result. To poll about 170,000 votes
in an off year shows with what favor our
state ticket, headed by Mr. Crane, was
regarded by the voters. Our canvass of
the state led us to estimate a Republican
vote of 170,(MX) if election day was pleas
ant and 192,000 if election day was bad,
aud the vote hears out this canvass.
"Mr. Crane's plurality of some 65,000
is a very handsome one and shows his
strength and popularity in the state."
The had no difficulty in car
rying the city of Boston. For the past
three years the city has indorsed the Re
publican candidate for governor, but this
year Robert Treat Paine, Jr., the Demo
cratic nominee, received a plurality of
9,199 over W. Murray Crane (Rep.).
Paine's total vote was 32,592, and Crane
received 29.399. Last year Wolcott
(Rep.) carried the city by u plurality of
1.897 over Alexander B. Bruce (Dem.).
These figures show a less for Crane from
Wolcott's vote of 7.179 and a gain for
Paine over Brute's total of 914. The de
crease in the Crane vote is partly due to
the fact that he comes from the western
part of the state and did not have the lo
cal popularity that Wolcott had. The
election passed off quietly.
NEW JERSEY REPUBLICAN.
Senate Stands an It Did and Rcpub-
II ra .IN Gain Seven Assemblymen.
Trenton, Nov. B.—The latest figures
from Mercer county show that the Re
publicans have swept the county by
about 4.500 plurality. The city of Tren
ton gives 2,543 for the ticket, the Demo
crats carrying but one of the 13 wards.
Last year Governor Voorhees got but
1,300 plurality in the county. Returns
from other counties indicate that the Re
publicans have elected senators in seven
of the eight. They will vote for a suc
cessor to Senator Sewell in 1901. The
Republican senators are elected in Su
lem, Gloucester, Camden, Monmouth.
Somerset. Essex and Union. The Demo
crats elected ex-Congressman Johnston
Cornish as senator from Warren county.
The next senate will stand 14 Repub
licans and seven Democrats, the same as
last year.
The house of assembly will be eoin
d of 44 Republicans and 19 Denio
.s, a Republican gain of seven over
last year. The gain comes from three in
Middlesex, one in Salem and three in
Monmouth county. The Democrats elect
assemblymen only in the counties of
Hudson, Hunterdon and Warren. Coun
ty officers were elected in 17 of the coun
ties. and the Republicans were generally
successful, excepting in the strong Re
publican county of Cumberland, where a
faction fight resulted in the defeat of the
Republican candidate for county clerk.
Camden will give nearly 8j)00 plurality
for the Republicans, and the usually
strong Democratic county of Middlesex
goes Republican by pluralities ranging
from 500 to 1,500.
IIPHIIUN In Greater New York.
New York, Nov. B,—The election iu the
four counties thut make up the city of
New York resulted in the election of ev
ry Democratic candidate on every coun
:.v ticket except John Morissey Gray,
Democratic candidate for register in
Kings. Democratic majorities were
about normal, being in New York county
aver 30,000. In Kings county the Dem
ocratic vote fell off from Inst year, when
Van Wyck ran exceedingly strong in
Brooklyn. The Tammany exultation was
not over the county ticket's victory,
which had been expected, but over the
defeat of Assemblyman Mazet (Rep.),
which they had hoped, prayed and work
ed for. From Mr. Croker down, the
Tammany men shouted over Mazet's
downfall. Senator Piatt intimated late
last night that Mazet might he seated in
the next assembly, in which the Repub
licans have 32 majority. The Tammany
Democrats openly denounced ex-Senator
Hill, whom they blame for the reverses
up the state. The Republicans in New
York county elected only four assembly
men. one of them a member of the Citi
zens' Union.
PeiitiNjlvaiiln Republican.
Philadelphia, Nov. B.—Estimates from
all of the counties in the state indicate
Burnett's (Rep.) plurality over Creasy
(Dem.) to be 125,483. In some counties
the estimates were necessarily bused on
meager information, and complete re
turns may change the figures here given.
In 1897, when Swallow (Ind.) carried ten
counties in the state, the plurality of
Beucom (Rep.) was 129,717, and in 1895
the plurality for Haywood (Rep.) was
174,294.
One congressman was elected in Penn
sylvania. In the Ninth district, compris
ing Berks and Lehigh counties, Captuin
11. I). Green (Dem.) was chosen by a
majority of 5,000 to succeed 1). M. Er
mentrout, deceased.
Fnnlon Wins In Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. B.—There is no
doubt as to the result in Nebraska. The
returns continue to show steady fusion
gains, and tin* majority for Holcoinb will
not he less than 10,000. VV. J. Bryan
gave out this statement at 1 o'clock
this morning: "The campaign in Ne
braska was fought on national issues,
and the result is a protest against the
policy of the administration." Mr. Bry
an said he had no comment to make on
results in other states. At 1 o'clock
Chairman Tofft of the Republican com
mittee admitted that the figures at hand
showed the election of the fusion ticket.
Repnhllean Gains In lowa.
Dos Moines, Nov. 8. —At 1:30 this
nfoming 938 precincts of the 2,082 in the
state gave Shaw (Rep,), for governor,
91,593; White (Dem.), 97,595. The same
precincts two years ago gave Shaw 86,-
595; White. 72,392. This is a net Re
publican gain of 9,853, or about 14 to the
precinct. The same ratio, if kept up for
the state, will give a Republican plurali
ty of about 90,000. There are a few Re
publican gains in the legislature, and the
indications are the Republicans will have
115 of the 150 members.
Maryland Democratic.
Baltimore. Nov. 8. —Maryland has re
turned to the Democratic column after
four years of Republican control. Colonel
John Walter Smith, representative of
the First district in congress and the
leader of what is known as the Eastern
Shore Democracy, has been elected gov
ernor by a large majority. General Thom
as J. Shyroek. chairman of the Repub
lican state central committee, at 10
o'clock last night conceded the election of
Colonel Smith for governor by 10,000
majority.
* IlcpnhllcanH Gain In Kanniia.
Topeku, Nov. B.—Very meager returns
indicate Republican gains in the county
elections. It is predicted by conserva
tive politicians (hat the Republican gain
will reach 10 per cent. In Shuwnee
county the whole Republican ticket is
elected by a gain of 20 per cent over last
year. A very light vote was polled all
over the state. In 1899 the funionists
carried 90 out of 105 counties. Last year
the Republicans carried 81 counties out
of the 105.
Municipal Fieri inn* In Rhode Inland
Providence, Nov. B.—The election here
was quiet, and a comparatively small
vote was polled iu the five cities of the
state which held municipal elections. Re
turns show the election of Democratic
mayors in Pawtucket (Fitzgerald) by 392
plurality, Woonsocket (Greene) by 129
plurality. Newport (Boyle) by 184 plu
rality, and Providence (Baker) by 1,(00
approximately. Eastwood (Rep.) won in
Central Falls. The Republicans control
the city councils in the five cities.
Troy GOCN Republican.
Troy. N. Y., Nov. B.—After one of the
hottest fights ever had here, in which ex-
Governor Black led on one side and ex-
Senator Murphy on the other, the city of
Troy has gone Republican by about
1,000. Black and Murphy have personal
ly conducted the contest, night and day,
for weeks, aud the result is the election
of Black's entire ticket—city, county and
assembly. This is the first time in 30
years that Troy has gone Republican.
Virginia Democratic.
Richmond, Nov. B.—Virginia elected a
full house and one-half of the senate.
The indications are that the election in
Virginia went overwhelmingly Demo
cratic. In the most hotly contested sen
atorial district—that made up of Isle of
Wight, Southampton and Nansemond—
the independent candidate is elected.
The vote was generally light.
lionglno Elected In MiNNlnnlppi.
Jackson, Miss., Nov. 8. —The election
passed off very quietly throughout the
state. Longino (Dem.) is elected gov
ernor by a majority estimated at 30,000.
Returns are very scattering so far.
New Jersey Road Race.
New York, Nov. B.—The 25 mile bicy
cle road race over the Elizaheth-Rahway
course, iu New Jersey, was won by John
Sherwood of Newark, who hail a handi

WHITEHOLDINGHISOWN
I Cessation of Hostilities at Lady
smith Since Friday.
LONDON VIEWS OF THE SITUATION
j I'rcHM KeportM of Heavy Boer Losses
Doubted—lnvestment of Ladysmlth
Relieved to Be I.ess Effective Than
lias Been Supposed.
London, Nov. B.—There was a fresli
outbreak of war rumors iu London lust
night. The evening papers printed nu
merous special editions announcing a big
engagement at Lady smith, in which 2,00(1
Boers had been captured. The war de
partment, however, bad given out noth
ing to aflirin or deny the report all duy,
which confused the newspapers as well
as the reading public.
In the evening the war department
posted u dispatch from General Buller,
dated Cape Town, Nov. 7, 12:25 p. in.,
containing the report from the generul
commanding at Estcourt through the
governor of Natal. Commenting on this
telegram, The Daily Mail this morning
suys:
i "It seems singular that au apparently
official message should be subjected to
censorship, but the probability is that the
message is not official, the generul at
Estcourt, in the absence of official news,
remitting the above in order to allay
anxiety regarding Lady smith.
Odl Features of the Dispatch.
"We imagine the correspondent who
sent the official message was a colonial,
for he specially and solely mentioned as
the chief loss that of the Light Horse,
which is a locnl force. The British force
at Estcourt is believed to be 3,000 strong.
"This dispatch, which carries the news
from Estcourt and probubly from Lady
smith down to Monday, is remarkable as
omitting all mention of the heavy Boer
losses reported through unofficial sources
to have occurred presumably at earlier
dates.
"By comparing this dispatch with thut
of General White of Friday's date and
thut of The Daily Mail's special corre
spondent at Ladysmith it is cleat- thut
two actions of some importance were
fought by the troops under Colonel
Brocklehurst, one on Thursday, probably
at Hester's or at Tatham's farm, and the
other on Friday ut Dewdrop or Hester's,
most likely at Hester's farm, not Beater's
Station, for the former is four or five
miles west of Ladysmith and the latter is
14 uiiles away. It is uot at all probable
thut a small force of British would risk
attacking the Boms ut thut distance from
their base.
"Dewdorf, mentioned in the Estcourt
dispatch, is evidently Dewdrop, which is
shown on the map to be five miles south
west of Ladysmith. It would correspond
to the indication given in General White's
dispatch. Friday's engagement seems to
have been the more iinportunt of the two,
for Colonel Broeklehurst's force is de
scribed ns driving the Boium back a con
siderable distance and dialling a gun,
with comparatively slight loss on our
side.
"It seems to make it doubtful that the
Boers lost as heavily as is unofficially re
ported. Ou tiffs point, however, we shall
have to await further official dispatches.
Bulhvanu is probably Umbulwani hill,
where the Boers planted a 'Long Tom.'
It is just possible that the engagement
at Umbulwani may be thut in which the
severe punishment of the Boers occur
red. This action took place on Friday.
Bocrn May Be Rfating.
"The statement that there has been a
cessation of hostilities since Friday may
mean the Boers have hnd enough fight
ing for a time.
"The officers reported killed, Captain
Knnpp and Lieutenant Brabant, were
both of the Imperial Light Horse. Cap
tain Knnpp had seen u good deal of
fighting in Rhodesia with the notable
mounted police. He was a mining man
by profession. Lieutenant Brabant was
a son of Captain Brabant, a member of
the Cape assembly and president of the
South African league."
It is generally conceded by all the Lon
don papers this morning that General
White is holding his own, notwithstaud-
I ing tho fact thut Ladysmith is invested,
j The various papers differ, however, as
! to the result of the engagements at Lady-
I smith during last week. The Daily Tele
| graph does not see how u fight of sev
! eral hours with cavalry, the field artil
-1 lery, the Imperial Light Horse and the
Natal mounted volunteers engaged could
; be u small mutter, as Thursday's fighting
j has be-n variously reported to have been.
SerlouN lloer Reverse.
I It turns out, says the Daily Telegraph,
to have been a very serious reverse for
j the Boers and adds that their war cor
respondent counts the Boer losses at 800
killed and wounded and 40 prisoners.
The Daily Telegraph further traces the
additional action with cavalry and field
artillery engaged, this time uppurcutiy on
the northern side of Ladysmith ou Fri
i day and Saturday.
| The Daily Telegraph in summing up
makes the following deductions:
"Accounts to hand are nnturully brief
and incomplete. They are gathered from
runners and natives, from severely cen
, sored press dispatches and from the ines
sttge brought by a Kaffir to Estcourt,
where the general in charge of the Brit
ish force seems to have commandeered it
j for the benefit of the war office.
"The details are ample enough to yield
two important conclusions—that the gar
rison at Ladysmith is more than able to
take care of itself and that the invest
ment. is by no means as stringent us was
supposed. It is certainly not severe
j enough to compel Sir George White to
sit still and await re-enforcements. He is
j compelling the enemy to show the utmost
they can do in weakening him."
A, Le Optiinlntlc View.
On the other hand. The Daily Mail this
morning concludes that Friday's bom
bardment at Ladysmith did little dam
age. It places the British loss altogether
at eight killed and about 30 wounded. It
believes that the Boers have sustained re
verses, though probably only small ones.
So confused are the various messages
| that it is difficult to discover where the
lighting around Ladysmith occurred or
on what day.
"We read," soys The Mail, "of move
ments toward Roster's farm, seemingly
only five miles from Ladysmith— not Bea
ter's Station. 14 miles away—and of oth
er movements toward Colenao. Possibly
there were two distinct operations, but it
I is quite impossible to make bricks with-j
out clay, and to pile up conjectures car
ries us no further forward."
BoerM Take Inunnavunia.
Lourcuco Marques, Nov. 5 (delayed i£
transmission).—A runner from Ingann
ruraa, Zululand, brings news that on
Nor 1 350 Boers invaded British terri
tory and advanced toward the fort at
Inganavuma with a white flag. When
they were 100 yards distant, they fired
volleys into the fort, which, however, had
beeu evacuated. The Boers burned all
the stores on the Lebonho and thoroughly
ransacked Pomersdorp, which they burn
ed tn the ground.
j BOERS ATTACK MAFEKING.
Finding: Bombardment Futile, They
Make a Vain Aa N ault.
London, Nov. B.—The following has
been received by The Daily Mail from
its war correspondent at Mafekiug, un
der date of Oct. 20, via dispatch ridtW to
Ivuriiman and by runners to Orange
river:
"The Boers have bombarded the town
for several days past with five 7 pound
ers, one 10 pounder, two Krupp 12
pounders and one Krupp 94 pounder.
"Three hundred shells were fired in
the course of 30 hours. We hud four
men only wounded. The damage to the
town was inconsiderable.
"The bombardment was so futile it
was becoming a joke, when on Oct. 25
the object of it was seen. Having in
dulged in the preliminary artillery fire,
the Boers closed in upon all sides and
made a determined attempt to rush the
town. This attempt at storming brought
out every single man of ours who could
carry a weapon. It was indeed a mag
nificent sight to see how the little gar
rison turned out to meet the numerical
ly overwhelming foe.
"There was a fearful rifle fire, and the
Maxims sent a hurricane of shot right in
the teeth of the Boers, who wavered,
broke and stampeded in a mad panic.
"They were driven over mines, which
exploded, scattering them in all direc
tions. They must undoubtedly have suf
fered great loss. They were completely
driven off."
VICTORY FOR CORNELL.
Columbia Defeated at Football by
•20 to O.
New York, Nov. B.—The football war
riors of Columbiu, who gained sudden
fame by defeating Yule not long ago,
tackled Cornell at Manhattan field yes
terday afternoon. Instead of victory,
which was so confidently expected, do
feat, overwhelming defeat, was the tin
palatable dose that Columbiu was com
pelled to swallow as a, result of their
gridirou conflict with the strapping
young fellows from the Ithucu university.
The score of the game was 29 to 0.
(lifted with a more extensive knowl
edge of football, apparently, than their
opponents, the Cornelliaus were bigger,
brawnier and speedier iu every way.
There was some resemblance between
Cornell's game yesterday and Harvard's
game last Saturday. Cornell used excel
lent generals Kip and wasted little energy
iu useless line bucking—as Columbia did.
But by punting, rendered effective by the
tine work and deadly tackling of her
ends, and as brilliant au exhibition of
open play ns ever was seen on a gridiron,
Cornell completely smothered and non
plussed the Columbia men. The delayed
pass, great interference and running in a
broken field were maneuvers that played
a conspicuous part in Columbia's Water
loo.
In tackling condition, team work, end
running, generalship, clean handling—ev
erything with the exception of line buck
ing—Cornell excelled.
Columbia's line, strong though it was
rated to be, was entirely outplayed by
Cornell's line. This fact, together with
Cornell's greater variety of offensive tnc
ticß and Columbia's muflling and fum
bling, explains in brief Cornell's victory—
a victory that was so thorough and one
sided that it almost dazed the Columbia
adherents.
SAMOAN CLAIMS.
Treaty Providing For Arbitration
Sinned.
Washington, Nov. B.—Having disposed
of the question of the adjustment of
claims arising out of the bombardment of
Mataafnn rebels in Samoa, thv three gov
ernments signatory to the Berlin treaty
are now devoting their attention to the
proposition to partition the islands.
The claims treaty was signed at the
state department by Secretary Hay on
the part of the United States, Mr. Regi
nald Tower, British charge d'affaires, on
the part of Great Britain, and Ilerr
Mumm von Schwarzenstein on the part
of Germany.
King Oscar of Sweden is selected as ar
bitrator.
The important article of the treaty
provides that the arbitrator shall consid
er the facts leading up to the bombard
ment, and if he should determine that the
bombardment was unjustifiable then he
shall awurd damages against the nations
—Great Britain uud the United States—
whose men-of-war shelled the native vil
lages. The treaty is so worded that it is
opeu to the interpretation that the award
shall be made, if the bombardment were
justified by existiug conditions and the
facts leading up thereto, against the
powers whose representatives brought
about the conditions which necessitated
the use of force, and in this event Ger
many will have to pay the score. The au
thorities are satisfied thut the arbitrator
will find that the bombardment was jus
tified, iu which event Germany will set
tle the cluims.
Letter From General Wheeler.
Florence. Ala., Nov. B.—General Joe
Wheeler in a letter to Hon. W. J. Wood
of Florence says: "I am delighted with
the Philippine Islands. I have no doubt
that a little push and energy this full
will crush out the Aguinuldo insurrection.
Out of 9,000,000 of people in these is
lands I do not think thut he has more
than 20.000 soldiers, and in a square tight
5,000 Americans would tear them to
pieces. All that is necessary to crush
them out at once is for the army to go at
them and keep at them uutil the work is
done. The evil features of these islands
have been exaggerated to our people.
Their extent is so great from north to
south and the variation of the altitude is
such that there is a great variety of cli
mate and variety of productions. Amer
icans will find this an excellent field for
their energies."
