the rusty old cover made a fine racket whom 1t

expended for supplies for the Virginia volun-

for service. President Mckinley author
lied Gov. TyIert to make necessary expenditures
forthe equipment Of the Virginia troops until
the War Department could fill the necessary
orders. promising that the amount expended
would be paid by the War Department. The
claim had gone through the regular channels
until the Comptroller Of the Currency held up
the claim on tho ground that the Federal Gov
eminent held 100000 OF Virginia's Indian
bonds issued in 1887. which are charged on
the books. He agreed to credit Virginia with
5000. the amount involved.
Virginia says. on the other hand. that the
Federal Government owes the State 81. TOO, 900

Tyler was taken from the State contin-

ADMIRAL DEWEY VERY WELL
General Merritt Says He Is Happy in
the Philippines.

New York, Oct. A Paris dispatch TO
the Herald contains an interview with
| Gen. Merritt upon affairs in the Philip
pines The opinions of that officer are in
part as follows:
Asked as to how the Fiipinos regard
the question of d protectorate. Gen. Mer
ritt said:
We'll, the feeling among the English
residents is undoubtedly that we should
take the islands in toto. l think the repre-
sentative feeling among the Filipinos.
however. is that we should establish a
protectorate over the archipelago. But a
curious fact should be remarked right here
in this connection-they do not know eX-
actly what a protectorate means. They
seem to think, from their crude knOwl-
edge of the term. that protectorate
means for the United States to take care
of them and let them collect all the reye-
nues and all that sort of thing, That, l
think, is Aguinaldo's view of the matter.
They want US TO pay the expenses while
they grow rich on the profits"
Il left Admiral Dewey" said Gen Mer-
ritt, very well, indeed He is very hap
py there. He says that since the army
has got out there he has had less worry
and anxiety than before. Furthermore
he IS very contented. and wants 10 stay
there. He will remain there for some
time. / think. He is expecting some ad-
ditions to his feet They are sending
two of our new war vessels up to him.
al least, they say So l have been work
ing with him, and our relations have
been very pleasant all the way through"
Gen. Merritt remarked that among the
complications prevailing in the religious
world in the Philippines the Jesuits and
their native priests are popular among
the Filipinos, while on the other hand
the monastic orders are bitterly hated.
This IS caused by their aggresSionS and
expressions. The monks own every
thing; they use the natives to cultivate
their lands. and then turn them off after
the land has been worked into good
condition.
The Filfpinos allege that the monastic
orders have also debauched their women
and have been told some very horrible
stories in this regard. ! do not know
anything, of course, about this. | only
tell you what are common reports in this
respect. Every student of Blackstone
knows very We'll what was considered in
the oden to be the feuda right of the
lord over the female vassal who married
on his estates. 1t may be surprising to
many to learn that the F'ilipinoS allege
vehemently that the monastic order claim
and exact this feudal right on the mar
riage of the young Philippine girls, but
l must remind you again that | am re-
lating to you simply and solely common
reports in the country.
In any case l can assert without a
shadow of doubt what the Herald
readers have been previously told by its
correspondents, that the people are very
bitter toward the monks.
"On the other hand, in striking con-
trast to this openly aVowed hatred, one
may turn to another phase of their re-
ligious predictions. They are really
much attached to their own native priests.
They are considered to be good Catho-
lies. term easily understood by all
those who are members of that church"
