Anti-Erpansionists espon3i- ble for Prolonged Resist- ance of Rebels. President's Advisers Will Urge En: listment of Volunt'aerp, Which is Thought to be Wisest Course. Waahington, June 26. Two de spatches .relating1 to the Philippine sit- "uaitton were received i feodsryf inf one of which General Otis" reiterated his pin ion that 30,000 troops . would be euf flcient to put down the "irlsurrection. One despa'tch was not "made public, and in ; (the ohter despaitch which was made public. General Otis made state ments which will probably be con strued ainconsisteat with h'a esti-matev-.tncjuiries as to whether Gen eral Otis' Statement that !L2 per cent, of Lthe ctommand- were ill, and , thaifc his troop, had been worked to the (limit of "endumncedid not mean that he -want ed, reinforcements, resulted in disclos ing Ithe facts of the second despatch. It-is. probable, .however, that despite General Otis assurance, the presi dent's advisers will urge that volun teers be enlisted, ana there is a grow-4 Jng, feeiytig.in military circles that this ik the "wisest . policy. The details' of theother message could not be obtained anAr therefore It cannot be said whether General Otis reconciles his adherence rtb the 30,000 estimate - with" .the puh lished despatch. -.' f Taken .as a whole General Otis' re view of the situation is very encourag ing. Officials consider his most import ant statement, that regarding ithe en couragement the Filipinos have receiv ed from the United States and there is a strong feeling that something should be done to punish the anti-expansionists responsible for this state of affairs. It is believed that when the president returns he will take definite steps. Un questionably the matter will be taken up at the first cabinet meeting after his return. THE PUBLISHED REPORT. Washington, June 26. A (long de spatch was received 'from General Otis, today descriptive of the -situation in the Philippines. It was in reply to in quiries cabled from the war depart ment and is as follows: "Manila, June 26. Adjutant' General, Washington: During the rainy season little inland campaigning is possible in Luzon. We occupy a large portion of the Tagalo country, our line3 stretch ing from Imus south to'" San Fernad north, nearly jsix mUes, and to the east ward into Laguna province. The In surgent armies have suffered great losses and are scattered. Only, a large force . Is held together, about 4,000, in Tarlac province: and northern Pampan aga. . There are scattered forces in bands offifty to five hundred in other portions of Luzon, Cavite and Batangas prov inces could assemble possibly a( thous and, though demoralized from recent defeat The mass of theTpeople "are terrorized by insurgent soldiers. They desire peace and ; American protection, and no longer flee on ithe" approach of our troops unless forced by the insur gents, but gladly welcome them. There has been - no recent - burning of towns. -1 The population within our lines is be coming dense, and is taking to land cultivation extensively.

Pennsylvania and .Cornell shared the aguatic honors on the Hudson course this afternoon in two intercollegiate races, witnessed by thousands of en thusiastic followers. The four-oared crew of Pennsylvania defeated Cornell's crew in an impres sive style over a two-mile course as a sort of a preliminary, while Cornell's freshmen rowed away from the young sters of Columbia and Pennsylvania over the same course. The result of the four-oared Tace" was a surprise as Pennsylvania led almost from the start, and won by a length in 11 minurtes and 12 seconds" The7 Cornell freshmen employed the well known smooth, well-timed . and powerful Courtney, stroke, and gavje a-superb exhibition of clean watermanship. Al most from the start Cornell . too a lead that could not be overcome, andJ were never really in danger. They did Utile spurting, seldom raised the stroke ovefeihirty-f our to the minute, and were easily a . length and a half ahfeftd At-thefirilsh: ' 'The battfor' second was exciting until within half a mile of the finish, when the New Yorkers went ahead and had two lengths the. better of the Quakers at the end.

Tomorrow at 4 o'clock in the after noon, or - as soon thereafter as the weather will permit , the race of the Varsity eights of Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin wiM be rowed. The crews are in the pink of condition and have devoted every minute of their time to the work in hand. - There are no suggestions of staleness or of not enough nerve, and each coacher today claims that his men are all in the best condition. Of Ithe crews as units the heaviest is" the Columbia" Varsity,!, which averages about 163 pounds, cou pled with an average .height of five feet eleven and one half inches, as in comparison with the crew of Wiscon- U sin, which, for its average height or six feet one inch has an average weignt or H162 pounds. The men have been unoer the personal direction of their coaches, for many weeks, and their frankness in claiming exemption from such train ing diseases as have heretofore form ed excuses "for losing crews is refresh ing. - Charles Courtney, who for years has trained Cornell for their great series of victories, is in charge of the Cornell crew this year. The four miles' stretch of water, which has come to be known as -the Poughkeepsie course, has been the scene of the most important college boat races that have ever been rowed within the past four years, or since 1895, when the course was first brought to public notice through its selection for the triangular race between Cor nell, Columbia andj Pennsylvania uni versities. . , The course holds the world's record fou miles, it having been established inlSSS, when the Ithacans traveled the f ourVntiles in IS minutes 29 seconds. i Xt- -" 1 -1 CLEVELAND STREET CAR STRIKE RENEWED Company Assigned One Union and One r Nonunion Man Together. - Cleveland, June 26.
