FILIPINO COLLAPSE EXPECTED. The Throwing Away of Filipino Guns Considered a Good Sign Progress of the Peace Negotia tions Satisfactory The Purpose of the Insurgent Representation. Washington. May 6. The offi cials of the tate and War Depart ments are looting for a speedy collapse and insurrection in the Philippines. Not only is this ex pecticn based on the private advices that have come from the Philippine commission, as to the negotiations tha. have been going on between that body and the insurgent repre sentatives, bat-also upon the success ful development of MacAi thur's and Lawton'? campaign. So far as- the commissioners' reports are concerned tbey indicate that the insurgents have at least recognized the inevitable break down of iheir struggle, ...and are simply striving by protracting their resistance to secure the more liheral terms possible in the erection of a government in the Philippines. They have noL iu any diplomatic sense acknowledged the sovereignity of the United States, but haye recognized the physical domination of our military forces, and while they have talked more or less of independence, even at the last mo ment, without doubt they will accept readily any proposition look ing to a protectorate. The Presi dent's instructions, however, are clear on this point, and the commis sion understands that ifc is.to take no action in a way of making prom ises that will deprive Congress of a free habd in disposing of the future of the Philippines. It is believed that an animating purpose, in the Filipino representa tion is to make sure that whatever form of government is adopted will rfford lucrative and influential places for the many ambitious Philippine leaders. The administra tion sees nothing in his aspiration irreconcilable with a fine government over the islands by the United States, the opportunities for the Filininos beiner found in a liberal . . , , - ol 'A even provincial native government in -r wh n iLiiniiiik.1 United States officials properly distributed througbou t the islands in supervisory capacity charged to in terfere as little as possible with local affairs as long as they are conducted without abuses, and- a iew gamsons of troops at strategic points support ed by a naval contigent, it is thought V.xr ftffifflftin hpre mav Drove to be all !..-. . -..." m that is ncessarv for the effective maintenance of the .

The press reports thismorning an nouncing that Lawton is meeting slight resistance in his movement northward; that the insuigents are fleeing before him, and, hiore import ant still, that they are caeting away they their arms, are facts tending to indicate the approach of the end. The army officers here say that it is either lack of; ammunition, or a a breaking down of their courage, that has led the Filipinos to aban don their rifles. Moving northward from Balinag, it is reported this morning, Lawton is apparently converging with his forces upon Mount Arayal, a distant of about 16 miles, the point at the bend of the Rio G-rahde. where Otis predicted the insiirgerits would make their last stand. tVith MacAuthor moving northward from San Fer nando, the two col urns should meet before this last insurgents' strong hold within about four days', if they meet with no more than ordinary opposition, so that even if deplomacy fails, there in hope of the collapse of the rebellion from purely military reasons within a week of ten davs. THROWING AWAY THEIR ARMS. MANtL'A,' Mayt.6Major General Lawton's column advanced to a po sition two and a half miles north of Balinag, today. Before making a forward movement General Lawton sent back tu Manila two wounded men of the Minnesota regiment, who were hurt in yesterday's fight, besides 20 sick men. Tbey were sent ' by way of Malolos. General Lawton's advance met with but slight opposi tion.. Outside of Maasin, 2,000 reb els who occupied and entrenched po sition, were routed in short order. Many coi pses of rebels have been discovered in the river at San Tomas. Scores of rifles and other arms have been recovera from the river into wnicn tney were tnrown oy tne re bels.
