TO GOVERN THE PHILIPPINES
Trained Officials Not Politicians Are
Needed.

Princeton, N. j.. Oct. 19.-Prof. Wood
row Wilson said in relation to the colonial
policy of this country:
The United States cannot govern the
Philippines by means of politicians. The
only possible solution of the question is to
rear and choose trained body of officials
to administer the affairs in the far ends
of the earth.
England stands as an example of the
truth of this statement. Her fingers were
badly burnt before she realized that poll
tics could not rule In India. Then 1t was
that she appealed to Oxford and Cam
bridge, and through them has ruled sue
cessfully the remote corners of the globe.
I'VE, too, unless we profit by her ex-
perience, shall burn our fingers before we
learn that there cannot be a self-consti-
tuted leader without an accompanying
trained body of administrators. 1t may be
long before the nation will come TO full
realization of the truth of this statement,
but come it must, firmly believe, and the
sooner the better

ago and San Luis to BE Opened.
Santiago. Oct. 19.-Lieut. Jarvie. of the
Signal Corps, yesterday found near the
Zocapa battery, opposite Morro, some rolls
of seven strand conducting cable, valued
at $4,000 which had been left there by
the Spaniards. 1t was intended for fur
ther mining of the channel to Santiago.
The first Government telegraph will be
opened today between Santiago and San
Luis. A line to Guantanamo has been
open two weeks, but it is only of tempor
ary construction, the former system be-
ing useless.
Seven delegates from the province of
Santiago left for Santa Cruz to attend the
Cuban government assembly. They in
cluded Gen. Garcia, Carlos Cespedes and
Rafael Portuondo. Gen. Cespedes said the
purpose of first Importance would be an
order to disband from the Cuban govern
ment to the army, which is now suspicious
that the present orders are of American
origin.
The next matter will be the presentation
to the United States of the necessity of
paying the army a certain amount in order
that the soldiers may begin peaceful avo-
cations. The third matter taken up will
be the establishment of a form of gov
ernment with authority in matters rela-
tive to Cuban interests.

into the school-room For several weeks
past the children have been infected with
dipththeria, and up to the present time
between twenty and twenty-five have

ones held him responsible. Nine new

Jackson. Miss, Oct l9.-During speech
here United States Senator Sullivan Of

skies; he did not think it was deserved.
II was strange thing TO him 10 notice
that so distinguished a man as Gen.
Wheeler should be the only Southern
representative in Congress who voted in
favor of the bill authorizing the issue of
bonds. He said the Republican party is
responsible for the unnecessary issuance
of interest-bearing bonds TO the amount
of hundreds of millions of dollars. The
present condition of the Treasury demon
strates that their issuance was wholly
unnecessary. The senator said Gen.
Wheeler was not appointed major gen.
eral until after the issuance OF those
bonds, and now he was an apOlogist for

DenounceS the Action of tho New

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 9.-Francis C.
Cradle. promoter, arrived in Omaha
from st. Louis yesterday. Mr.. Cradle,
who looks as though he had under
gone severe mental strain, said: II
can only say now that organized all

fled upon logical basis, and that there
is no reason why they will not ulti-
mately prove paying investments. I
have received many kind letters from
friends, both in this city and in the
Black Hills country. who still express
their confidence in me, and with their
assistance 1 hope to once more regain
my former position.
THE whole trouble was precipitated
by the action of President Williams,
Of the Chemical National bank Of New
York in demanding the resignation of
Cashier Quinlan. The various COM
panics with which l was called were
in good condition, although 1t Is true
carrying q large Indebtedness, and
they We're in no way dissmiar to
thousands of other projects which are
eastern capital. l had a consultation
with President Williams a few days
previous to the resignation of Cashier
Qulnlan, and told him that l had al
ready $lS0.000 on hand with which to
pay the Indebtedness Of our companies
to the bank, and that within a few
weeks time I could easily raise the
rest Of the amount. He was aware of
the fact that l had paid off note of
$190,OOO which had been due the bank
upon former occasion, and he had
no right to doubt my ability or hon
esty to do so in the present instance.
II President Williams had withheld ac-
tion in the matter for a fortnight his
bank would have received every dollar
that was due from the Edgemont COM
panies."
