Dispatches indicating the de termination of the Washington administration to annex the en tire Philippine group are satif factory to all classes of business men here. The insurgents are watching the situation with concern. Many leaders heartily favor an nexation. A considerable fac tion, however, opposes any thing further than a protectorate, and Aguinaldo favors this faction. A few days ago Aguinaldo said to an Englishman : “We have fought always for our independence, and we will always light for it until our last man is dead.” This is undoubtedly largely bluff. It indicates, however, Aguinaldo’s increasing self-es teem and also his unwillingness to surrender his present royal style of living, which surrender he recognizes would be a neces sary concomitant oi annexation. The best students of the com plex Philippine question are becoming more convinced that a conflict with the insurgents is ultimately unavoidable. WELL PLEASED CUSTOM ERS.
