Investigating the killing of Spanish
PrisOners.

Col. Dudley of the judge advocate gen
erals department reports to the War De-
partment that he is about to conclude the
investigation into the killing of the Spanish
prisoners on board the L. S. s. Harvard
after the battle of July 3. Col. Dudley was
fortunate enough to reach Portsmouth be
fore the City OF Rome sailed for Spain with
the Spanish prisoners, so that he was en-
abled to take the testimony of a number
of them, including Admiral Cervera himself
and several of his officers.
Even from the Spanish account it does
not appear that the American sentinels

one of the prisoners persisted in passing
the rope boundary OF their confines, and
" hen the American sentine! sought to drive
him back within bounds several of the 9TH
e. prisoners swarmed over the rope, while
the others became highly excited and
assumed so threatening an attitude that the
small guard, consisting of about ten United
States soldiers felt obliged to fire upon the
offending prisoners. Unfortunately, no of
tcers, either American or Spanish, wee
at night else trouble might have been
avoided. The troops on the Harvard con-
sisted of the 34th Michigan and the Gth
Massachusetts regiments. although as the
latter was on guard at the time, il will not
be necessary. in the cOloneis opinion, TO
take the testimony of the Michigan men.
As the Massachusetts, regiment mas been
furlOughed, great difficulty has been eX
perienced in finding any Of the soldiers who
witnessed the affair and Col Dudley is now
engaged at Boston in that task.

Workmen are now eXcaVating for the
foundation for Carl RohI Smiths statue OF
General Sherman. The statue is to stand
on the vacant government lot just south Of
the treasury building and just in the rear
of the frame building which has for years
been used as the Photographic bureau Of
the treasury. The bureau is now being
moved to other quarters and the building
Will be torn down.
The depth of the excavation will depend
on the character of the ground. \ solid
foundation is desired. The base for the
monument will be twelve or fifteen feet
deep and will be of granite, bluestone and
Portland cement.
The intention in erecting the foundation
and base nov is tc get the work to a polnt
where Carl ROhl Smith, the sculptor can
place the plaster model on the pedestal be-
tore the bronze cast of the statue is made
W len the foundation is finished the pedes-
Ia! will be put on. This will not be for
nearly year. Sculptor Smith will then
pace his full-siZe model on the pedestal
and finish the model to a point which will
be satisfactory for casting.
Mr.. Smith is at work on models in the
temporary building erected on the same lot
a year ago. He began with small model
which was submitted to the commission
larger model was then made and within

MARQUIS ITO AT PEkIN.
Chira's Emperor Orders NOtabiIities
to Welcome Him.

PEKIN, September IA delayed in trans
mission).-Th Marquis Ito, the japanese
statesman who is understood to be visiting
China for the purpose OF arranging Of
fensive and defensive alliance between
China and Japan, arrived here today and
was received at the railroad station by not
abilities specially ordered by the emperor
to welcome the distinguished visitor.
An edict has been published extending the
postal operations throughout the empire
and replacing the present system of gov
ernrnent couriers.
The frequent edicts introducing reforms
and cutting down expenditures prove that
the emperor's advisers are bent upon Il
policy which can only be the result of a
complete change of opinion. Most of the
Chinese and the old European residents
look upon the change as being too sweeping
and irritating to the official classes. But 1t
Is evident the emperor has decided to aboi-
ish many abuses and his efforts are well
coined by all the enlightened Chinese who,
however. counsel moderation.

OPPOSES THEIR RETENTION
Senator sewell Would Give Up the
Philippines,
Their Government, He Says, Would
Entail Endless Annoyance-PoIiti-
cal OEtloOk in New Jersey.

Senator Sewell of New Jersey passed
through Washington today on his way to
the Hot Springs of Virginia, where he will
spend the month He stopped for few
hours and visited the War and Navy De-
partments, the former with relation to the
question of the distribution of troops, and
the Navy Department with relation to the
award of contracts for the construction of
the new vessels Some time ago Senator
Scwell suggested to the President and Adjt
Gen. Corbin the adviSa bility of trans
ferring individual soldiers who desire 20
remain in the service from regiments mus
tered out to regiments that will be retained
taking the place of such men in the latter
regiments for some good reason should
be DISCHARGED. No general plan of this sort
has been adopted in formal way. but /:
is practically being put in practice in cases
where it is obviously desirable that men
being mustered out on personal applica-
ton where their places can be filed by re-
cruits, and the reason for the muster out
Is obviously a EoCd one.
Senator Sewell. in speaking about the
peace negotiations, said to a Star reporter
that it We'll known that he very ear
nestly opposed the retention of the Phil
irpines, the ground that they would be
an almost endless source of annoyance.
The retention of those islands, he said
would involve the retention of a large
standing army and the support of a large
navy, and the character of the population
was such that We would have constant diff
hculty IN trying to govern them. He said
that we had had trouble enough with the
few Indians that we had to deal with in
this country, and we could judge from that
the difficulty We would find in governing
1o,rOOOo people of a savage race, a com
paIatively small portion of whom are civ
iliZed.
"As lcng as this question is unsettled"
he said, ''it may be truthfully said that the
war is not over, in the sense of our being
relieved from annoyance and irritation and
the necessity Of retaining an army on a
war basis, and without actual fighting If
we retain the islands we shall have TO
maintain control of them by military force
and endure all the annoyance, expense and
danger of the occupation of hostile terri
tory. 1t would be many years before we
could count on relief from this strain.''
turning from the subject of the war com
pLcations. Senator Sewell said in response
to inquiries, as to the political situation IN
MS own stale, that he would return from
Virginia to attend the republican conven-
tlon OF New Jersey, and after that would
again JOIN his family in Virginia He said
tEat Gov. voorhees, would be renomfnated
for governor. and eXpressed the opinion
that eX-Representative Kean would be
elected to the Senate to succeed Senator

ILLNESS OF GENERAL MILES
Confined to His Bed by Order Of His Ply
sieian.
No Apprehension Felt Regarding Hi,
Conditfon-May Go Away for
RecuperatiOn.

General Miles is confined to his bed with
a touch of fever, resulting in part from the
arduous work and exposure of his recent
campaigns The general has been ail1ng Tor
sc me days and although he went to army
headquarters for two hours yesterday,
there was already some evidence of fever
ard he was urged to so home and take a
rest. To-Day the fever symptoms were
rather more marked, and the physician
who was called in insisted upon the gem
erals remaining in bed. The attack causes
70 apprehension to the general or his
friends, as his constitution is remarkably
robust. and 1t is felt that he can readily
throw off this aiiment. 1t is said to be OF
a malarial character. like much of the
fever developed after exposure in south
trn latitudeS.
General Miles family and friends have
been urging him to leave Washington and
take a complete rest at some watering
resort. He has resisted this, not being
willing to admit that the campaign had
made some inrOads on his health. 1t is
believed, however, that he will now yield
to the advice of physicians and friends.
and will take a vacation at some quiet re
sort. Owing to the strong recuperatlVe
powers of General Miles it is hoped at
army headquarters that he will be up and
about very soon, and it would be no sur
prise if his will power made him throw
OFT TINS attack and return 10 ms desk at
any moment.
General Miles report on the Porto Rico
campaign is not likely 10 be submitted
for some time. for the general has not yet
thoroughly started on the work, and now
bis illness is likely to make a further post
pCEement. The reports of most of the di
vision and other commanders who served
under him in Porto Rico have been sub
miIted, and these will be made part of Cen
era Miles report General Garrettson, one
of the Porto Rican commanders, who has
just returned, was at the War Department
today He has already submitted his re-
port to General Miles.
Colonel Greenleaf. the surgeon on Cen
eral Miles staff, is absent at Montauk.
DR.. Cook, a Washington physician in the
temporary service of the army during the
absence of most of the regular army ply
sicians is attending General Miles
DR.. Cook said at noon that he hoped Gen
Miles would be about in the course of few
days. In the meantime he wanted the gen
eral to have a complete rest DR.. Cook
said there is some fever of the malarial
type, due to campaign exposures, but he
does not regard ii as in any way serious or
as a cause for apprehension.

ing of the cabinet for 8 o'clock this after
noon. In the face of the fact that the cab
met finished its discussion of the instruc-
tions to the peace commission Tuesday this
that some new proposition has arisen on
which the President desires the advice of
his official family
He probably also desires to tell the cab

net room, and no interruption was permit
ted Senators Quay and Penrose and other

sued at Paris. The President gave the
commissioners the fullest and most positive
lued Oh tIe course ne lnlflkS OuBnt TO De

ly.
The commissioners made suggestions at
times and Joined in the discussion Of vari-
Gus points. During this discussion it is be-
lieved that some new and important point
was brought out on which the President
desires an expression of opinion from his
cabinet.
The commissioners left the White House
at 1:3O o'clock. They, of course, refused
to talk. In the language of Secretary

commissioners would not return during the
afternoon. They will be at the White
House tonight to attend dinner in their

the Presidents desires, together with the
instructions given today, will be sufficient
to guide the commission on many points
which may arise at any time. Only on
critical points Will the President be cabled
for advice Whenever these may arise his
desires will be asked by wire.
