THE FACTS WITHHELD Conditions in the Philippines Worse Than "Reported. INSURGENTS NOT YET CRUSHEJ Praia of the Country Ureas the Freal slant to Hand a Gnat Ariuy to Manila. Washington, June 84. An imprea lion i getting abroad in the country that the people havo not received all the fact regarding the situation is the Philippines. It 1 believed that the censor i scrutinizing pieaa dia patchea veiy curefullly, and that if General Otia has communicated the exact conditions to the department hi dispatches have not been given to the publio. The reason for this belief may be seen in what the publio now knowa, that, although General Otis gave out glowing pictures of success and the eaily break-up of the rebellion, the In surgents are really in a (tronger poai tioii than two monthe ugo. It la prob able that when the volunteer return and are no longer subject to the orders of officer superior to themselves soini of the real facta connected with tht Philippines will be brought out. Tho political significance of Presi dent McKinley's trip into Massachu setts at this time ia said to be his de sire to overcome the opposition that has been developing to bis policy in tho Philippines. Probably in no other state or section i there aa much real opposition to tbe expansion idea aa in Massachusetts. It ia expected that the president's visit will have tbe effect of making friends for the administration snd do good work towards bieaking down the opposition to the reteution of the Philippine. While the picsident i away the press of the country is growing very unanimous in expressing the hoH that be will retain witli the determination of sending a sufficient army to orosh the rebellion and uphold the national honor of the United State in the Pu oifio. Agulnalilo Man. Ins His Arinjr. Manila, June 34. Aguinaldo doei not seem to bo satisfied with the at tempt of the insuigenta to retake San Fernando, and be bus taken command of General Luna's army and has massed the largest rebel force yet mobilised, bringing 8,000 men from the Antipolo region. He is exceedingly trouble some. Last night his men wounded two members of the Seventeenth regi ment. General MacAithu't men aie con stantly on the alert to repel any attacks by the rebels, aleeping upon their arms. The general sincerely hope; that the Filiuinot will give him an other chance for a battle, fur the sol diet really enjoy an opportunity U fight them whon they can do so with out wading through swamps to catch them. Railway trains betweon Manila and San Fernando have been stopped foi several day, while poiinnnent repair were being made to the bridges along tbe route, but today traffic was re sumed. The transport Contenninl, wbioh hat arrived hero, had an exoiting experi ence while rounding Point Engauo, on the northern const of Luzon, on bei way to this port. She struck a lock Wednesday and remained (ant for aev eial hours, during which time shf was surrounded by swarms of native in canoes, who beonme menacing. Captain Engle, who commanded ths transport, was compelled to throw over board 100 tons of supplies in order to lighten the ship sufficiently to get hex afloat. Beforo this was effected the Filipinos bad towed the case ashore, and were fighting over the spoils. The cruiser Baltimore recently grounded at the same point, but the native feared to approach her. Captured a Hra.a Hand. Manila, June 34. The rebels have learned that the American Volunteers are returning to the United States and the Filipino newspapers show that they construe this to mean that the Americans are abandoning the war and aie encounigod thereby. The outposts of the Washington regi ment yoateiday captured General Pio del Pilar' brass band of S3 pieces, tbe member of which somehow became separated from tbe rebel army, and came near the American lines without having the moans of resiatence.

After the Filipinos luv been thoroughly whiped and they un derstand that the United KtnteB means business, he thinks there will be tittle or no trouble, PAUL JONES MYSTERY. Apirt That Nltli Launch Wa lllown Dp Known to Mo falsa. New Oi leans, June 34. Captain M. P. Doulett. of the steamer Indepen dence, has brought to tbe oity a piece Of the wieck of the naptha launch Paul Jones, loat in the Gulf lust January, which throws still more mystery on that disaster. Tbe Paul Jones was thought to have been destroyed by the axploaion of her naptha tank, which would aocoont for her complete de junction and am Id on loas of all on boHrd. This is now shown to have been totally erroneous theory, for the naptha tank was discovered by Captain Dou lett intact and uninjured and still tbree-fouiths full, at Grand Gaxier island, near Breton island, where the wreck was supposed to have occurred. The tank was brought to the city. Some 13 feet of the launch was still adhering to it, and seemed to have been out off, indicating tiiat tbe vessel was ron down in a collision. On tbe other hand, tho accident ocourred where no large vesaels go, and a collision was well-nigh impossible. The remainder of tbe wreck will be brought to New Orleans from Grand Gazier on tbe next tiip of tbe Independence. PROSPEROUS AND WELL-CLAD.

POLITICAL SITUATION IS SERIOUS Otls Gave In to tho Administration Whan He Made Mia Estimate of tbe Number of Troops Required- New York, June 2. A special to ths Herald from Washington says: Major-General Miles is an advocate ol the dispatch of reinforcement to General Oti. He declined to d.scuss the political position in the Philip pines other than to say it wa aeiious, nor wonld he give any idea of ths troops that ahould be sent to the Phil ippines to plaoe the archipelago under American control. General Marcus P. Miller, who re cently arrived from the Philippines, where be governed Ho Ho, has been living here since his return. General Miller' view aa to the number of men required for the inbjugation of tiie island is very different from that of General Otia. He believes 65,000 men, tt least, are required; 80,000 for tiie control of Luzon, and the remainder for ths restoration of peace and ordei in tbe otiier islands. General Miller' view coincide with General Law ton's and that of other offi cer lubordinate to General Oti. In fact, in other than administration cir cles there is a disposition to believe that General Otia estimate of the men 'required was made when he Knew of the desire of the president not to raias volunteer if possible to avoid it. There is no truth in the story that General Miles baa applied to be sent to Manila. General Mile would not wish to take anr action to displace General Otis when that officer is doing all he can to quell the rebellion with the limited mean at hi command. Notwithstanding the report to the oon trary, the president is satisfied with General Ota course, and has no inten tion of relieving or recalling bim. It is equally untrue, it is asserted by Act ing Secretary Meiklejobn, that Gen eral Oti ha cabled that he will be compelled to retreat unless promptly reinforced. ATLIN ORE DISCOVERY.
