His Instructions Said to Give

British Cruiser Pique Reports
Everything Quiet at Manila
and IlOilO.

NEW YORK, May Sl.-The state de.
partment has mailed to General Mer.
rift his exhaustive instructions for the
government Of the Philippines. says
the Washington correspondent OF the
Tribune. These embody not only full
details for the control Of the military
and naval forces in establishing United
States sovereignty over the Philippine
group, which were prepared by the
wal and navy departments for in.
corporation in the Instructions, but
are understood to clothe the command.
ing general with greater discretionary
powers than have ever up to this time
been granted to an agent Of this gov.
Except in his relations with
foreign powers growing out Of possible
complications in the East, which are to
be referred to Washington for negotia.
ton, General Merritt's control Of
affairs will be practically supreme.
The instructions throughout bear every
evidence that the United States in.
tends TO preserve permanent control Of
the islands.
In this connection it is understood
that arrangements are already being
made to lay a cable from San Francisco
by way Of Hawaii directly to Manila,
and the work will be undertaken as a
military necessity the momen author.
ity for the expenditure can be secured
from congress.
By direction Of the president formal
orders have been prepared for issue.
adding 5000 men to the Department Of
the Pacific, under Major General Mer.
rift, thereby increasing the strength Of
his force to 20 900 men. While Gen.
eral Merritt was promised week ago
that this increase would be made if pos.
sible, difficulties of an apparently in.
surmountable character were presented
and it was only upon success achieved
by the wal department IN securing the
execution Of certain contracts much
earlier than anticipated tina, il was
found possible 70 redeem the promise.
These related not only to t~ransporta.
ton but arms, ammunition, uniforms
and other requisite equipment, it hav.
ing been feasible Up to this time TO Sc.
cure these essentials for only Il, 900
men.

Tn most instances colds ore the result of
imprudcnce or n lack Of forethought Even
in cnses where a sudden change in the
weather or an unavoidable exposure is re-
fponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving a little care. But "p mere cold " is
such common thing and causes so little
inconvenience that notwithstanding all pre-
yious experiences we neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way Of
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance of
draughls, etc.
one should always bear in mind the
necessity Of exercising constant vigilance
TO avoid catching cold. When the tcmpcrn-
lure in the house Is higher than that out of
doors, never 20 out without putting on an
additional wrap. Never sit in a cold room
even though you do not feel chilly. And it
is better to suffer a little discomfort from
wearing heavy underclothing than to run
( risk of chill.
