ACQUIRING POSSESSION.
The Philippines May Be a Difficult
 Problem Later On.

Washington, May 12.-Much time has been spent by members of official and congressional circles, and much discussion as to the final disposition of the Philippine islands has been in dulged in. The president and congress are now face to face with this ques- tion Admiral Dewey's victory there has completely broken Spain's power over her former colony, and this coin- try is now responsible for the govern ment of the islands permanently or until they are turned over to some power capable of establishing and maintaining stable government. Un- til actually confronted with the prob lem, few publicmen had given much thought to it's solution, and conse- quently few of them are now prepared to express or g1ve any decided opin- ions as to what the policy of the gov ernment ought to be. The internal questions raised by the taking of the Philippines may prove difficult of so- tuition, and many of the public men are of the opinion that it might be more difficult for the United States to let go of the islands than to retain them. There is growing feeling here that we have changed our policy and entered upon career of colonial requirements, which will necesS.tate a much larger standing army and a great big navy. The democracy will oppose this, but it may be forced upon
 the country by the exigencies and
 questions arising o1t of this war. One

FINAL GRAND JURY REPORT.
Recommendations for the Health Wealth and Mortality of the Country.

The grand jury yesterday afternoon submitted it's final report and was dis charged. Upon receiving it Judge Street commended the jury in the strongest terms upon the expedition with which it had disposed of the bus mess before it and the constant mani- festation of strong common sense in its consideration of the cases which had been presented. The manner Of the judge in his address showed that he was not making an empty compli- ment.
 The report showed that twenty five cases had been examined, ten indict- ments had been returned and fifteen charges had been ignored. Many of the latter may have had good founda- lion, but the evidence for conviction was lacking and prosecutions could possibly have resulted in nothing but laying an additional burden upon the Taxpayers of the county.
 The rest of the report was made up of the reports of committees assigned to the investigation of the various de- partments of county affairs. In this work the committees had been assist ed by Nose Drachman as accountant and c. M. Little as typewriter and atenographer.
 Messrs. A. J. Godfrey and w. M. Newell said regarding the county hos yital that they had found the institu- don in excellent condition, the rooms and bedding clean and the patients as well satisfied as those unfortunates $ eoald be expected to be.
 Messrs. Godfrey, Newell and T. J. Eartledge were profuse in their praise of the manner in which the court house grounds were kept, and they es- YecialTy mentioned Gardener David Turner.
 6. H. Hirschfeld, George N. Gage and De. D. W. Wilbur found the cash in the county treasury all right and she accounts kept in a. business-like manner. A former grand jury used the expression, "a workman-like man ner"
 The report regarding the office of fiie district clerk was profuse and highly complimentary. It described late innovations in keeping the rec srds so that all the business of the Of flee was always up to date. If this section of the report could have been made after the discharge of the grand jury 1t would have been made stlll more complimentary as to promptl- tude in the transaction of business, for within five minutes MT. Gill, the clerk, had put every member in pos session Of the voucher for his services. The committeeman of this section were P. Corpstein, s. A. Dysart and Wolf Sachs.

He is a member of the Knick- erbocker, Metropolitan, I,acuuet. Meadow Brook, New York Yacht. City and Country clubs. MT. Ronalds was graudated from Yale with che class of 1886 and lives at the. Knicllerbockcr club.
 Messrs. Tiffany and Wadsworth are. perhaps, the best known cross-coun- try riders of the four. Mr. Tiffany is the only one in business. Several years ago he and Rawlins Cofonet. both then members of the Meadow Brook club, became retail florists. Their shop in Fifth avenue is known as the Rosary"
 It was they who furnished the house decorations for Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont on the occasion of the marriage of her daughter, Consuelo Vanderbilt, to- the Duke of Marlb1r- ough. MT. Tiffany is now a member only Of the Knickerbocker club.
 MT. Wadsworth lives at the Knicker- booker club and is a member, bs- sides, of the Union and Racquet clubs Of New York and the Metropolitan of Washington. He has long been Known as crack polo player.
 Besides these, there will go out un- der MT. Roosevelt, I. Townsend Bur den, Jr., who is the elder son of MT. and Mrs. I. Townsend Burden of 5 East Twenty-sixth street, and who left Yale to be a trooper, and Ham ilton Fish, Jr., member of the Colum- bia crew of 1S96
 says:
 "The last of the recruits from Washington, thirty odd in number. went from MT. Roosevelt's office in the navy department to the cars today. They were as stalwart body as one would wish to see, and singularly promiscuous. Some wore the broad brimmed hat and had the b-onzed cheek of the plains, and others bore the unmistakable stamp of the stu dent and the club man, but these lat ter were athletes and trained sports men. All mingled with easy good fel- lowship. Old friends recognized each other among the bread -brimmed and the society men. They had met in the hunting camp before.
 "All told there are some forty col lege-bred men among the enlisted rough riders, graduates of Harvard. Yale, Princeton and other institu- tions, upcn whom the life of the city has palled; clubmen who take gladly to the life and the excitement of the camp in exchange for their favorite brand of Chateau Lafitte. Yourg mil lionaires, set on proving that inner ited wealth has not corrupted their manhood. They are not officers they are troopers, and will ride with the cowboy, sleep with him under the open sky and fight by his side. There are some old soldiers upon whom the life never lost it's grip, perhaps half a hundred of them, and dozen fire men and policemen personally known to Mr. Roosevelt for their f1ghtin g pluck.
 'The bulk of the regiment is made up of the men from the plains, from Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and the Indian Territory cowboys and miners, bred to the use of the horse and rife, and to roughing it in the open. Some of these have served in the national guard in their several states. These form the strong back bone of the corps"
