"It looks to mo as If the young ex quisites who attacked M. Loubet may find. themselves In a tight place. I imagine that an attack upon tho chief magistrate might leaJ to a long im prisonment. Tho main olemant of doubt as to tho punishment of these royalists is what u French jury may do.

Tho American forces havo occupied tho v peninsula and General Hall's column Is en camped at Morong. Major Truman, marching across tho Illnungonnn, found It Impractlcnblu to form a cor don, nnd tho Insurgents, with tho ex ception of n hundred or two, escaped through tho mountains nfter General Plo del Pilar, dragging their batter ies by buffalo, at night. A few, how ever, may bo trappad. Tho Washing ton troops havo returned to Paslg, but tho program of tho other troops is uncertain. Tlio present expedition shows the dlfilculty which is encountered by ap army which must depand upon wagon trains In catching barefooted bandits in their mountains, aii.l also gives proof that tho rebels do not intend to light battles. General Hall loft Santa Tores yes terday morning and marched twelvo miles to Morong, up nnd down rocky hills nnd through woods nnd swnmps. Scores of his men fell out owing to the cxtremo hent and woro left to fol low ns best they could. Tho head of the army arrived at M orong at noon, having exchanged only a few shots with Insurgont skirmishers on tho way. Groups of btrngglers followed nil day, but tho American forco was J 00 smaller than when it started. The men wero almost thirty-six hours without rations nnd it wns consider able of an nchleyiiinent for them to cover the ground they (lid. On tho wny to Morong the Ameri cans met Hocks of Filipinos nnd flags of truce, many of of thorn young men with the bearing of soldiers. Many discarded uniforms were found In tho houses, apparently those of soldiers who had escaped by changing their costumes from "uiMirrecto" to "umlgo" nnd walking boldly past tho nrmy, which hnd expected to corrall them. Few wero found about Morong, ono momber of tho Wushlngton regi ment was killed and two wero wounded in tha encounter with the outpost General Lawton, on board a gun boat searching tho coast for Major Truman, stopped at IHnangoanan, op ppslto Morong.

President Schurman of tho Philippine commis sion, in a dispatch to Secretary Hay has, It is believed, recommended more liberal concessions to tho Filipinos, with a vlow of ending tho Insurrection at once. An official aequ tinted with tho messnga said It reviewed tlio situ ation in tho island and was of an en couraging naturo. The dispatch was considered by tho President and Secretary Hay, and tho President has sent u reply. Tho naturo of the ntiswcr is not divulged. It is significant, howavor, that coinci dent with the President's message to Mr. Schurman a cablegram was sent to General Otis, with instructions in lino with tho President's belief tliat tho restoration of peaco enn only ba nccompllshed by tho comploto subju gation of the Filipino. Uaneral Otis will continue his military oparatlotu throughout tho rainy season. It Is nppsrent that tho Presldont does not look for tho close of tho re bellion until tho Filipinos nro con vinced of tho military superiority of tho United Stntcs. Tho concessions already offered nro liberal, tho admin istration believes, and as far ns tho President can go Without nuthority from Congress, and it is doubtful whother tho new propositions made by tho commission havo rccalvoi his approval.
