SPECIAL TO THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
Washington, Aug. 19.—Admiral Dew
ey's terms for the surrender of the
Philippines seem to have settled the
question of whether all or a part of
that group of islands shall be retained
by this countnry.
"Keep up the flag” is now the wateh
erv of the intensely American oflieials
of Washington. The question, "Daw
ey has given the Philippines to Amer
ica—who will dare to give them back
to Spain," finds no answer here.
Krom all over the country come evi

McKinley’s mail is swelled every day
with letters and petitions urging an
nexation of the entire group.
Chambers commerce, large business
Interests, religious bodies, private citi

returning the Islands to the sovereignty

i not tolerate, in the same Jurisdiction,
jan army of a different nation which
does not place itself under the orders
of the American commander-in-chief.
The leaders of public opinion now in
Washington nearly all favor the taking
of the entire group of islands.
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, is of the
opinion that the surrender of the Phil
ippines by the Spaniards is so com
plete and final as to leave the islands
wholly in the possession \i the United
States.
Ex-Congressman McCreary, of Ken
tucky, is outspoken In his ideas on ter
ritorial acquisition. "I am nGt in favor
of giving up any place over which the
flag floats,” he said. We must hold ev
erything that Dewey and bis gallau*
men so bravely won. Where the Hag l
goes up let it stay.”
Senator Elkins and other strong an
nexationists are expected to arrive In
the city within a few days. It is their
intention to urge upon Maj. McKinley
the vital necessity of placing on the
peace commission men who are heart
ily In favor of annexation.

Rampolla'a Strength Grows.
Rxciuding ihe possibility of a foreign
> pope, the struggle will be confined to
: Cardinal Rampolla. who will be the
h'gheal ixpresmi u of a polilicnl pope,
and to a non-political rellglouv candi
date. As to the Inllev the most spo
ken-of rnnd dates are Cardinals Angelo
de'Pietrq, gad Gerolumo Maria Gotti.
J Tie former la a son of a shepherd of
; Bttvcront. Rome, and Is already called
it he Holy Man. He is Just seventy
I years old and was educated for ihe
priesthood by the biabop of his dio
cese.
When he was a simple pried visit
ing a certain monastery, an old monk
threw himself on hia knees and kissed!
the buckle of Pietro's shoe.' The
I young priest, much token aback, asked
ihe reason for the demonstration. The
‘rtionl* raised his eyes heavenward and
said. "Father, when you are pope. I
oiill be near!, so I wish now to hiss your
holy fool.”
Omens for Both Cardinals.
Cardinal Gottie Is sixty-four years
of age. He was born in Genoa. He
has the advantage of corresponding to
a prediction of the prophet Malachia,
who left a hook containing a motto for
each -future pope, which they say has
i never failed. For t-eo XIII it was
"Lumen do caelo.” while for his succes
sor It is "Ignis ardens.” In the coal of
arms of Cardinal Gotti there is a hurn-
Irg torch.
Leo XIII. who has a special affection
for him, has often called him "My suc
cessor.”
Cardinal Rampolla has been Papa)
Secretary of Slale for ten years. He
is generally considered by outsiders to
ho the strongest candidate. Martinrl
li. Papal Nuncio at Wasliingt' n, will be
made a cardinal.

from the quarterdeck of the Olympia,!
from which I was permitted by tho
kindness of Admiral Dewey to witness ,
it, was grand. There was no severe!

A Grand Sight.
When the American flag was (raised
by the army over Malate fort, a white
flag was seen flying two mile® north
on the walled city. The men aboard
all the ships rushed to the aides and
into the rigging and cheered, led by ■
the admiral. From the flagship it j
was a grand sight to see thousands
going at double quick along the beach, 1
often waist deep in the water. Both,
Dewey and Merritt are greatly pleased j
