deliberately disabled the machinery Of
the ship because they did not wish to
be sent to station SO far away from

OFFICIALLY DENIED.
Story That United States ID to Ac-
uuire Island ON African Coast.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-An official
denial is given to the story coming from
Vienna to the London newspapers that
the United States Government had ne
gotiated with the British Government
for the lease of the island of Soctra, off
the eastern extremity of Africa, and
near the southern entrance to the Red
Sea. So far as ascertained, our Gov
ernment has made no overture in that
direction, and it has never given con-
sideration to the advisability of ac-
quiring a coaling station in that quar-
ter of the world.
Still now that the suggestion has
been given publicity, officials are not
wanting to come forward in advocacy
of some such proposition. There is
reason to suspect that in this particu-
lar case the publication is really a feel
er intended to convey to tie United
States in an indirect manner the dispo-
sition of the British Government to let
US have this island on considerations
named, not only as an evidence of good
will, but perhaps from the more selfish
motive of strengthening a nation that
might be a most valuable ally in oper-
ationS in the East

TARIFF POLICY FOR PHILIPPINES
MEANING OF THE OPEN DOOR
PROPOSITION.
All Nations of the Earth Will be
Placed on an Equality, SO Far
as Competition is Concerned.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-A special to the
Tribune" from Washington says:
The tariff policy for the Philippines
was outlined in the ultimatum present.
ed to the Spanish Peace Commissioners
tense interest here as to the meaning
and operation of the ..oDen door, the
ory for the Philippines.
Members of the Cabinet say that this
s'open door" policy is nothing more nor
less than the creation of a complete
tariff for and against the Philippine
Islands.
The proposition as submitted to
Spain is, in brief, that the United
States will govern the Philippine ISL
ands, but in such a way as to put all
the nations Of the earth on an equality
so far as general competition is con-
cerned
A tariff will be created for the Phil
ippines which will operate against the
United States exactly the same as
against all other nations, at least for
the period of year. The ordinary
tariff laws of the United States will be
applied to importations from the Phil
ippines exactly as if the islands were a
foreign country. In this way all Euro
pean countries will stand on a par with
the United States in the Philippines so
far as customs duties are concerned.
The exports of the islands will, of
course, seek the most profitable mar
ket. independent Of any question of po-
litical allegiance.
The United States will, however as a
matter of course, collect and disburse
the revenues derived from duties on ex-
ports sent by its own citizens as well
as by those of other nations. This is,
in short, to produce an Independent
revenue for the Philippine group. so
that the islands may become at once
self supporting and not a burden on
the United States.
The ''open door, policy and the Of
fer of $20,0OOO0O to Spain as indemnity
for local improvements in the island
are part of the same general plan
it being figured out that the customs
duties in advance of the ordinary ex-
penses of government will, within a
short time, pay this usual indemnity.
This "open door" proposition is expect
ed by the Administration to be a pro-
lection against the cheap labor of the
Philippines, at least for a term of
years, until American methods and
wages shall become common in the ISL
ands At the same 'me the operation
of a tariff against the, United States
as we'll as all other nations will. it is
believed. deprive Spain of ali hope of
European Intervention, for the Euro
pean nations know that under Spanish
control they would always be discrim-
mated against. while under the pro-
posed sopen door they could trade
with the islands on absolute equality
with this country.

INQUIRY INTO CONDUCT OF WAR.
NEWSPAPER MAN BEFORE THE
COMMISSION.
Was Plenty Of Food During Santi-
ago Campaign, But Lack Of
Medical Supplies.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-James J.
Archibald, San Francisco newspaper
man, who was with the First (reguar)
Infantry from California to Santiago
was the first witness before the War
Investigation Commission to-day
In reply to General Beavers request
to tell everything he thought liable to
be useful to the commission, Mr.. Archi-
bald said his chief reason for volunteer
ing to appear before the commission
was because of the published statement
that there was great hardship in
Cuba because of lack of food.
II wish to say he said, 'tthat have
had considerable experience campaign
ing with the troops in the West, and
there the regular soldiers have had
much rougher experiences than they
did in Cuba. There was plenty of
food. The inability of the volunteers
to adapt themselves to circumstances
was due TO their own inexperience. If
they had known enough to hustle and
cook the food that was there they
might have less cause to complain
There was a scarcity of medical
supplies, Of surgeons and of nurses. 1t
appeared to me that DR.. Wood caused
considerable unnecessary suffering by
severe administration of his hospital
near Siboney. He refused to allow any
one to visit the sick, and once when I
tried to find a wounded man of the
First Infantry, he refused to let me in.
He declined to allow Cubans who had
offered to build shelter for the sick to
do SO. and when I tried to reason with
him, he said: I am running this hos
pital to suit myself which suppose
was proper. I mention that incident as
the only matter that came to my no.
tice in which I blame the authorities. -
John Jay Robinson of New York. who
was at Camp Wikoff with the Y. M. c..
A. tent, told of the conditions as he saw
them during the last days of August
and September He did not know that
any great lack of food or supplies ex-
listed, and said he considered, as a
whole, that the camp was well con-

ing of the Council of Ministers last
night it was said that nothing definite
had been decided on relative to the sub
ject Of the peace negotiations.
The Official Gazette" publishes a de-
cree accepting the resignation of Gen
erals Blanco as Captain General of
Cuba
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-No sur
prise is expressed in Government circles
at the news of General Blanco's resig-
nation. 1t is known that some time ago
the General sought to resign the office
of Captain General of Cuba, and he
was induced to retain that post only
by appeals to his patriotism on the part
of the Madrid Government 1t is sup
posed that his purpose is to avoid what
he may regard as the dishonor Of sur
rendering the Gem of the Antilles to
the United States. The Captain Cen
eral of the Philippines took the same
course. General Arolas, the second in
command, is likely to have the un-
pleasant duty of surrendering Spanish
sovereignty over Cuba. It is believed
that Blanco's action will not in any
way affect the evacuation, save in the
possibility it contains of melting
trouble among the Spanish troops.

Lagern, a switchman discovered that
the bridge had been barricaded. BY
an almost superhuman effort, as re-

the switchman, it appeared, succeeded
in removing the obstacles sufficiently to
permit the passage of the imperial
train.
An investigation which is being con-
