pressed by war officers and ered In this light goes to confirm the press dispatches stating the tion involves the whole Philippines One unusual provision 13 embraced in the reference to the return of rendered arms the article for return when the Spanish or the American army ates This however is a formal ex- pression arid Secretary Alger to-night showed that there need be no alarm oh that score by
