Priests Leaving the Philippines.
Manila, Sept 1S.-In an interview here
with the correspondent of the Associated
Press, Archbishop Dozal of the Philippine
Islands, said: st earnestly hope the is
lands viii not remain Spanish, because the
rebels are now so strong that such a
course would inevitably cause appalling
bloodshed Spanish conquest of the natives
Is impossible until after years of most cruel
warfare"
He also expressed the hope that the is
lands would not become absolutely indie
pendent because 1t was certain that dis
sensions would occur which would re-
suit in incessant strife and lapse into bar
clared, was that a strong Western power
would intervene now. Delay was dangerous
because the people are intoxicated, vain
glorious and restless He said il was I'M
deniable that the religious orders must go,
because the whole people had determined
TO abolish them now that they We're able
to render their retention impossible. He lay
the chief blame upon the Dominicans, Au-
gustins and Franciscan Receletans, and
next upon the Benedictines and Capuchlns,
which are of less importance. The Jesuits
Archbishop Dozal says, are comparatively
blameless. He added that the rival orders
quarrel among themselves, intrigue, act
unworthily and Islander their opponents,
thus increasing their general disfavor
The provincials, who are approximately
equivalent to archdeacons, are mainly re-
sponsible. They are utterly beyond the con-
troll of the archbishop, who denies possess
ing much power.
The total number of Spanish priests in
the Philippines before the war was about
1000, but lately every departing steamer
has taken fifty or hundred of them away
and now barely 500 remain.
native priest privately stated that the
reason the archbishop hopes for the ex-
pulsion of the friarly orders is that they
have grown too powerful for him, and
that he wishes to strengthen himself. Sew
eral rsponsible Spaniards assured the cor
respondent that they would refuse to re-
main here if Spain is reinstated in the
control of the islands. Many of the Span
ash soldiers refuse to serve again, and
the Spanish officers are utterly disguised
with the rottenness of Spain's government
and prefer to become American subjects.
The annexationists have majority of
seventy-one in the national assembly, but
the discussion of the subject has not been
finished.

1.-THE war with Spain demonstrated one
thing very thoroughly as far as II went"
remarked a soldier who wears two medals
for Workmanship to a Star reporter "and
that is that craftsmanship as generally
understood, is not necessary; that the SOL
der who has had no practice at rife

tice at The rifle ranges. / don't want to
be understood as saying that a soldier can
be much of a success who does not know
how to handle his rife, for 1t is absolutely
necessary that he knows how TO shoot.
For effective service 1t is not necessary,
however, that he should be specially skill
ed in workmanship; that is, that he can
place bullet after bullet in a space the
size of a target ten inches in diameter.
"There are no such restrictions In ac-
tual warfare. 1t Is only seldom that there

Another New Cotton Bale.

1t Is probable that still another new
method of baling cotton will be announced
within few days in addition to the sew
eral new processes which have recently an
peared In the market says the New York
journal of Commerce. and Commercial
Bulletin. Plans for the new bale have
been under consideration for some time
and 1t is expected that the new process
will be given a practical trial In a day
or two.
Like the other new bales, the one in
question will aim at securing a great dem
sity of cotton. 1t is said that the bale
will be square. II has been designed es-
pecially with view to meeting storage
as well as transportation requirements.
The marked interest at present shown In
new methods of baling cotton apparently
indicates that the oft-repeated complaints
of current methods of handling the crop
are at last receiving serious attention, and
IL is predicted that out of the present
study and experiment some material pro-
gress in the direction of Improvement will
result.

Cincinnati o.. Sept. 1S.-The officials of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway, who
were in conference here yesterday and
last night, continued their meeting to-
day
Receiver John X. Cowen left tonight
for Baltimore.
Receiver Oscar G. Murray, General Man
ager William NJ. Green and others leave
tomorrow morning on a tour of inspec-
ton from here to Columbus, Newark and
Sandusky thence over the Chicago divis-
ion.
While the conference here is believed to
have been on estimates for betterments of
the Southwestern system, il is stated that
Receiver Murray viii make a report on
the same subject on the Trans-Ohio divis-
ion from Pittsburg and Wheeling to Chi
cago to the reorganization committee for
the new purchasers, which include lead
ing capitalists in the Northwest.
1t Is stated that the purpose is not only
to have a great trans-coutineutai line
through Chicago and the Northwest, but
also TO have a fast line from the Atlantic
seaboard TO st. Louis, and that the whole
Southwestern System will be soon equipp-
ed with ninety-pound rails after the grades
are changed and other improvements made
So far most of the improvements under
/ the receivers have been east of the Ohio
river, and now the road is TO be perfected
west of the Ohio and with double tracks
some of the distance.
The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
System from Parkersburg through Cincin-
natl and Louisville is now in the hands of
receivers, but it is understood it is incgud-
ed in the reorganization. The Baltimore
and Ohio Southwestern System includes the
lines of the old Cincinnati Baltimore and
Washington Railway and of the Old Ohio
and Mississippi Railway Company. When
the last named was purchased six years
ago, the Baltimore and Ohio Railway guar
anteed the bonds of the Baltimore and Ohio
southwestern and the Southeastern is
practically operated as a division of the
trunk line and the plan Is to put it in
hrst class physical condition. It is stated
that Receiver Cowen has gone to confer
with the representatives of the holdings of
JOINS Hopkins University, aud that when
President e. r. Bacon returns to New
York tomorrow night, he viii see inter
ested parties In New York and after con-

here that Receiver Cowen will be pres-
dent of the new company and Receiver
Murray vice president, with Mr.. Bacon In

Elaborate Reception.
Cincinnati, Sept. 1S.-The most elaborate
arrangements have been made for the re-
ception of the Sixth Infantry on its return
TO Fort Thomas tomorrow. Members of
the Chamber of Commerce and others went
to Parkersburg to-day to meet the regi-
ment at the state lire. This regiment was
one of the first called out, and it suffered
the most severe losses.
Col. Cochran was removed soon after It
reached Tampa and Lieut.. Col. Egbert
succeeded. When the regiment was cut to
pieces at Santiago, Col. Egbert was shot
through the lungs and now the regiment
returns with Maj. Miner commanding.
Col Egbert is here anxiously awaiting
the regiment OF the 4S3 who went with it
in April. less than go returned. The regi-
ment has been recruited so that 400 are in
line Fifty of itE members are in the
Fort Thomas hospitals, and some are away
on furloughs, but many were buried in
C=ba.
AS Fort Thomas is now occupied by hos
pitfalls. the regiment will camp on adjoin-
ing territory OH the site where the Union
troops camDed under Gen. Green Cay

Many years ago, not long after the road
was constructed, an inexperienced person
connected with the signal station, while
making a descent, ran into a descending
train and was instantly killed.
The Yorkmen come up with their slide
boards from the base in the morning, on
the first train, and they are left at differ
ent points along the road, where they are
engaged in making repairs on the track
AT night, at the close of work, they get on
their boards and slide to the base station
and they can be usually seen by those on
