On the other hand the enormous po litical and material value of the PWl ippines has been' clearly pointed out while the difficulties of the administra tion will in ho way discourage the Brlt-V ish stafemen or laynien. It is probably true, therefore, that if the proportion Is made after these considerations tave been fructified in the public mind it would not cause the uproar with, which It would have been greete six months ago : : i : Tou correspondent does not venture to assert that there have already been propositions exchanged , on the subject or that there have been consultations and an exeban of . papers bearing thereon between the foreign colonial of fices, because- such an assertion, would probably call out an official denial, but I will, howevet go o far- to,afilrm that! such a project would encounter no serious opposition In either of those departments of the Britfeh) government.

Senator Gray was given a dinner tonight by the Wilmington , board of trade.

Neither the people of Cuba or tne i-niuppines were yet capable of self-government. "That we -bad. a right," he said, "to acquire territory by conquest or treaty under the constitution, and that un conditionally, cannot be successfully disputed." No more, he said, could it be denied that the constitution left to conereM the power and authority "to govern the 1 . i territory so acquired. The duty could not be honorably avoided because t might bring pain or danger. That he nought , in Paris by all hon orable means to escape the responslbil- j ity did not, he said, matter now. It came to a point that we' must either leave the Philippines to Spain, or tak ttoem as we did or break off negotiations.

There fore the officials have, been endeavoring m find a solution, that will permit Gen eral Eagan to make a' defence of . the conduct of hte .office- and allow tne; gov 1 . ernment'' to protect Itself, from the charge of negligence by General Miles.
