Henry T. Allen is busy with his work in the Philippine Constabulary and is working closely with the Philippine administration. According to the news that has arrived in the Philippines, it appears that President McKinley will not recover, but Allen believes the country is fortunate that Vice President Roosevelt is available to accept the burdens of the presidency. Allen has been in the Philippines for around three years and has been thinking about his future. He hopes to succeed Colonel Mills as superintendent of the United States Military Academy and believes he would have General Corbin’s support.
