that not q member of congress had
the least idea that the people would
be required to pay for the war

law, as passed, does not specify
whether the company or its patrons

Appraisment of Lots.

AS to how the appraisement of
town lots is to be conducted has been
the subject of more or less heated
discussion since the enactment CT
the Curtis bill. The language of
the provision, however, is such as
to leave little ground for difference
of opinion. 1t will be the duty of
the appraisement committee to ap-
praise lots at their true value iude-
pendent of improV ements. This
does not necessarily mean an exor-
bitant valuation. The spirit OF the
Curtis bill as it relates to this mat
ter is undoubtedly that the lots oi
any given town should be valued aG
though not q dollars worth of i'm
provement had ever been put upor
the townsite. Chieftaln.

May Hold the Philippines.

Sentiment in favor OF this govern
ment holding the Philippines is crys-
talizing, SO says a special from Wash
ington:
1t is learned on excellent authority
that the president proposes to ap-
point a board of inquiry and will
have for its purpose the learning Of
everything concerning the Philip
pines from the social, fiscal and po-
litical standpoints.
This body is to be entirely distinct
from the peace commission. 1t will.
as matter of fact, be more impor-
tant than the peace commission.
The latter will be directed in its ne
gotiationg by the president, while
the presidents attitude will be large
ly Influenced by the reports he may
receive from the Philippine commits
sion. In a word, this commission is
to report to the president as TO
whether or not the United States
wants all the Philippine islands for
a colony.
The administration has had the
matter under consideration for sew
eral weeks. The president has con-
suited members of the cabinet and
senators who are now and have been
recently in the city. The concensus
of opinion among the presidential
advisers was that the appointment
of such a commission was n prActi-
cal necessity.
The rapid capitalization OF public
sentiment in favor of holding on to
the Philippines and the lack of in
formation as to these islands based
on intimate knowledge of them, theil
people and government are the two
strong influences that have practi
cally caused the president to appoint
such a commission. The object will
be to have the Philippine commits
sion and the peace commission
working simultaneously, one in th'
orient. the other in Paris.
The Philippine commission will e
over to the islands and study th'
present political system, the charac
ter and the possibilities of the insur
gents and their rights up to tn
present time; learn the proportion
of the population they represent AM
estimate the difficulties. if any, whicl
might lie in the way of holding al
of the lsland4 instead of only Manil
and Subig bay as had been suggest
ed in the peace propositions. Th
commission will consult with ADM
raj Dewey, Gen. Merritt, the insul
gent Aguinaldo, and all the foreig
representatives In Manila in order t
present to the president detaile
statement of the situation from ever

for about eighteen hours the beautiful
young spirit passed to its maker. Warren
was peculiarly bright and beautiful and
though only years Of age, was striklngly

PREPARING FOR WAR
Company X Ready to Meet Spanish
Troops

SAN BERNARDINO, April 1.-THE
election of commissioned officers for Com
pany X Of the Seventh Regiment, N. G. c..
took place Wednesday evening, and was
most harmonious affair, each being chosen
with the unanimous vote Of the company.
This election was made necessary by the
expiring Of the term Of office OF Captain I.
H. Goff. Major F. c. Prescott of Red
lands was detailed for the purpose of con-
ducting the election. After the appoint
ment OF Sergeants Jendresse and Waite as
tellers, motion was made by A. B. Gaz-
zolo that the second lieutenant, w. c. Sec
combe, cast the unanimous vote of the
company for First Lieutenant o. p. Sloat
for the office of captain. This was done.
and then the same manner OF voting placed
the second lieutenant notch higher In the
shoes of the first lieutenant. So far the
work had been well understood and plan
ned, but when 1t came to the choice
of a second lieutenant there had been
four candidates, but this had cryStallizcd
upon two, First Sergeant w. A. Rowntree
and Corporal d. c. Schlott. the latter de-
veloping such strength that the former
moved to make the choice unanimous,
which was done. The newly elected Off
GERS will report at Los Angeles Saturday
evening for examin alton, and their commits
slons will be made out at once.
OF their passing the examination, there
is not the slightest doubt, as all three are
veterans. Capt. o. P. Sloat has been a
member of this company during nine years
continuous service. having filled all posi-
tions from private to the place he Is now to
hold, having been lieutenant, first and Sec
ond, for six years. First Lieutenant w.
c. Seccombe has been seven years a men,
Der. and filled the position of second lieu
tenant for four years. Second Lieutenant
D. c. Schlott, who has been a member but
two years, was captain of a company in St.
Louis for two years before coming here. 1t
Is thought here that in case there is call
for the use of the California militia in the
coming war, that the Seventh regiment
will be sent right to the front, as the men,
bers are accustomed to hot weather, and
could stand a summer in Florida or Ha-
vana better than the troops from further
north.
