WHAT THE FILIPINOS WANT.

Washington, Sept. 30-When asked to
sum up the desire of the Philippine dei-
egates, Senator Chandler said yester-
day: THE first and most essential
purpose is to have the treaty Of Paris
the final treaty, which will stand for all
time-contain an article terminating
absolutely the sovereignty OF Spain over
the Philippines. 1t is not alone the
termination OF Spanish sovereignty over
the island of Luzon or Manila that they
desire, but the end of Spanish rule over
the entire Spanish group OF islands.
The disappearance of Spanish rule
from the Philippines being assured, the
next purpose OF the Filipinos, as gather
from their delegates. is TO have an op-
portunity to try their capacity for self
government under American protec-
tion IL need be during the transition
period. or, If that seems inexpedlent,
then they want this government To as
sumo the direction and control OF af-

method as may best meet the condition
OF affairs. They seem 10 feel satisfied
that the question of future rule can be
solved without difficulty after the first
great aim of terminating Spanish rule
is brought about"

Arthur Primc:au Suing the Greene

Says II is Responsible For Injuries Re-

Before a fury in Judge Wilbur's
court this morning was begun the trial
of the suit OF Arthur Primeau, an ele-
vator boy, against the Greene a. Dan
iels' Manufacturing Company of Paw
tucket. Primeau, on November II.
1894, was IL years old and engaged in
running an elevator for the defendant
corporation. 1t is claimed that the cor
poration is responsible for certain in
juries received by Primeau because it
did not keep the elevator well I'm good
condition and did not notify Primeau Of
defects in the well.
The direct cause of the accident was
the catching of a portion of truck
used in removing goods from one de-
partment OF the mill 90 another in a
place i'm the elevator well, where some
bricks had been torn out. Primeau was
thrown down and had one of his knees
dislocated and also suffered a fracture
of one of his ankles. His injuries are
alleged TO be of a permanent nature
and he seeks $4,000 damages.
The jury at the request of the de-
fendant went for a view of the prem
ises. Joseph Osfield, Jr is attorney for
the plaintiff and Walter B. Vincent,

DIVISION OF THE SECTIONS.

Washington. Sept. So.-Important re-
suits are likely TO follow the extensiye
tour of military camps just completed
by Secretary Alger, especially In the
matter OF reorganizing the hospital SER
vice in the field. The secretary con-
ferred closely with not only the COM
manding officers and medical officers at
the camps, but especially with the 10
colonies whom he met. looking to the as
cartainment OF their views upon the
relative merits Of the division hospital
and the regimental hospital. Each had
strong advocates, and 1t remained for
the secretary 10 endeavor to reconcile
their divergent views.
The defect OF division hospitals in the
mind OF the soldiers is the separation OF
the soldiers I'm the same regiment, caus-
ing great discomfort, low spirits, ana
discoura cement. The men VIII often
go to great length to conceal real illness
in order to escape being sent to the hos
pital Against the regimental hospi-
tails IL is urged that the men cannot De
properly taken care of with troops on the
move with no female nurses and with
lack Of every sanitary and medical de-
vice that modern practice has come to
regard as essential. Nowhere were the
complaints OF neglect and insufficient
accommodation for the sick so numer-
Gus as in the case Of these regimentai
hospitals in the early stages OF the war.
Many of the Objectionable features OF
these can be removed in times of peace
as at present, when the troops are not
SO subject TO sudden changes OF location
as when in the fl Gid of war.
After a thorough examination OF the
relative merits and demerits OF the two
plans, Secretary Alger has framed a
project for the amalgamation OF the
hospitals in such manner as TO retain the
most desirable features of both. His
| plan is to have the division hospital ar
rarged in sections of tents. lying in wings
branching off from a central isle. These
can be very easily made by the use of
few flies and proper connection or the
| common A tents. Then the sections are

regimental doctors. yet receiving the

"The war. and that alone, is the cause

again next season, or whether we should
return to the old 1872 game assignment;
