No official Of the United States wa
ever intrusted with such autocratic pow-
ers as have been conferred upon General

eral of the Philippine islanda He Is to
be an autoorat and govern an absolute
monarchy. Under the colonial policy Of
Spain the captain general Of the colony

cause they could at any time relieve him
from office. But they usually allowed
him full sway, as long as he did not in
terfere with their personal interests and
provided lucrative positions for their
favorites who desired Office.
General Merritt inherits the powers
of the captain general, and being z, 600
miles away will have no opportunity to
ask instructions from Washington con.
cerning the various matters that will
constantly be arising in his administra-
tion of affairs. It is therefore of utmost
importance that he shall have the as
sistance Of the best men who can be
found for the exercise of both civil and
military authority, for he will gradual
ly remove the Spanish officials and All
their places with officers from his COM
mand. 1t is expected that he will utilize
the services of native Philippines 90 far

to form an intelligent estimate Of their

THE SPANISH BULLETS.

They Arc Inclosed In Brass Castings
Which Civilized Nations Disoountenance.
Samples of the Mauser cartridges uset
by the Spanish troops were received al
the navy department recently from
Guantanamo, where the United States
marines, under Lieutenant Colonel
Huntington, held their own after sew
eral desperate encounters with the
enemy. When the cartridges were ex-
amined by ordnance experts, they ex-
pressed indignation and astonishment at
the character Of the projectiles. The
marines under Huntington believed that
the Spaniards were using explosive
bullets. While the samples received
do not confirm this opinion it is IN
doubtedly true that the bullets have a
tendency to expand, thus causing the
jagged wound of exit which gave Ad-
miral Sampson and other officers the
impression that the marines killed had
been mutilated.
But the thing that excited the indig-
nation of the ordnance experts was the
discovery that the Spanish projectiles
were inclosed in brass casing, which
is almost sure to cause blood poisoning
to the person wounded. Officers say. that
the use of the brass castings is not coun-
tenanced in warfare by civilized ma
tions, and It was not believed that the
Spanish had resorted to the practice,
which is considered nothing short of
barbarous, as it frequently results in
the death through poisoning of those
only slightly wounded. New York
