SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. IA spe-
eial to the Chronicle from Manila, Of
September 2s, says: Direct evidence
connecting General weyler, of Cuban
fame, with the wholesale looting Of the
Philippine treasury has been unearthed
In BilIbld prison.
Maximiano Rosales and Julian Reyes.
sent to prison as scapegoats for official
thieves, have been liberated by order
OF Major General Otis. but dellverance
came too late for a third prisoner con-
Victed OF the same crime, for he died
in Biblibid eight days before the Amer-
lean army entered the city.
When Captain Moffett, superintendent
OF the prisons, began his investigat tions
Of the cases Of the prisoners conhned
in BTITbld, Rosaies and Reyes declared
efat they were unjustly Gufer4ng for
the crlesm OF others, and begged that
their cases be reopened. They aVerred
that Weyler and his associates had loot
ed the treasury Of 81, 600 in Mexican
silver, and that they had been accused
Of the crime and sent to jail. Mohett,
made report Of the matter to General
Macarthur and an examination o., the
books OF the treasury We're ordered.
The latter showed that during the Wey-
Ter regime several immense sums OF
money had been withdrawn, and there
was an unsatisfactory showing as to
the disposition OF It. Rosales was one
of the cashiers Of the treasury, and goes
20 far as to declare that WelyeT hims
self came to the treasury to aid In the
crime, az he alleges. It has been decld-
ed TO make a full Investigation Of the
case.

The Opera House began 20 an with
people an hour before the meeting OPEN
ed. The Opera House band gave sever
al selections In front Of the building,
and at 8 o'clock the theatre was
well filled, In fact many people were
turned away, though there was really
room for possibly hundred more 'in-
slde. The trouble was that many people
were messed in the rear Of the hall and
gave the impression to people on the
outside that there wasn't even Standing
room inside.

and pleasing introductory address, IN
the course OF which he said:
There nave been those who said thai
the Republicans OF Wheeling were not
Interested In the approaching election.
You are here tonight as witnesses to
the contrary, many. many strong, But
whatever Interest or lack ct interest
there may be in this country In the elec-
tlOu, we can think Of places across the
ocean where they are eagerly awaiting
the result, peoples and countries that
are foes and friends.
''The youngest can remember when
Europe knew Httle Of Us. All that 10
changed Our merchants are known
the world over. Our yachts are the
swiftcst. and our bHttleshlps are the
mightlest. Europe knows che product
OF our workshops and Of our soil. For
This we are indebted to the Republican
policy which has developed our indus
tries and our skill To these victories
OF peace have been added victories OF
war. None claims for any political par-

nation or the Victories OF eur army and
navy. The credit belongs 70 the coun-
try. north, and south; to Democrats.
Republicans, Populists and Prohibition
lists; native born and naturalized; white
and black. but for the success that has
crowned our arms, more than devotion
or cOuTaEc, must credit be given 20 the
training Of our people which has made
our achievements in war possible. the
training that has come through the pole
cy Of the Republican party, making lt
pt,ssIble for uB to forge che steel that b

for this training the hero OF Manila

WASHINGTON. Nov. 4.-The admin
istfation is awaiting results from the
peace commission with equanimity with
the realization that the government is
perfectly prepared for any turn the me-
gotlations may take.
The navy especially is In state of
preparedness shonld II come 70 q re-
sumption OF hostilItIes, far In advance
Of Its condition at the outbreak OF the
war. One by one all the splendid hght-
ing machines OF the North Atlantic
squadron which had been brought north
at the earliest moment were docked'
cleaned and thoroughly rehtted at the
New York and Norfolk navy yards.
Their ammunition supply were replen-
ished and they are now with possibly
one or two exceptions ready for inatant
service in almost any quarter Of the
globe. Admiral Dewey has taken con-
siderable precautions IN the cases Of MS
own vessels. having dispatched them one
by one to the big British docks at Hong
Kong where they have been placed IN as
good condition as possible outside ot our
homo .ot4s Secretary Long has prur
IDENTIFY declined 10 part with the, new
numerous asel OF auxiliary vessels a0-
qulred by the government just prior to
and during the war. These were all in-
spected by technical board which
found that a number OF them were not
particularly well adapted to navy uses,
but the secretary concluded that these
vessels are stu sufficiently serViceable
for emergency uses and accordingly
kept them In condition to be commits
stoned at short notice.
AS far as the army Is concerned. while
the original force OF nearly a quarter Of
a million men called into service by the
President has been largely dlminished
by the mastering out OF many regiments
and organizations, 1t Is the opinion OF
military officers that the army as a
whole is really more formidable
weapon now than 1t was at any period
during the war. This apparently para
doxical statement Is explained by the
fact that such OF the troops as are now
IN the service has the dlaClpline OF sew
eral months hard training; the men
have steadily improved In efficiency and
their officers know how TO take care OF
them, as well as to fight battles The
stan corps have cured many OF the evils
from which they suffered during the war
and are prepared to move troops with
rapidity with due care for their health.
and for their adequate rationing during
any campaign that might be expected.
In fact all branches Of the military naval
service profited by the experience OF the
war, and are now, as previously stated
in better shape than ever before.

on the question OF the Philippines he
said:

by the direction and with the approval
OF the administration at Washington.
other reasons he gave for the reten-
