Aguinaldc is apparently . unable to reorganize the insurrection in Cavite province, where the forces are under the direction of General Tolas, who, .it. is Said, recently offered to surren . der to the Americans if promised a pardon. The Filipinos under Tolas are wholly demoralized, and are suf fering greatly on account of scarcity Dewey seldom discusses events in the Spanish war, but now and then says things full of pith and to the point. To-day he allowed himself to talk to a correspondent about some af fairs in the Cuban campaign. Speak ing of the splendid affair of the Mer- rimac at Santiago he said of Hobson: "I like him, he is brave, dignified, modest. The trouble about Hobson is that he takes life too seriously, is too bashful' Dewey has fully recovered, but is still living in retirement at the Peak- He expects to j leave for liome next week.
