rect and immediate Information and

formation to legitimate CONCLUSIONS
Tn reference to the proposed seizure
and annexation of the Philippine Islands
bv the United States, it says Secretary
Alger,s recommended increase OF the
standing army to 100000 men
is under, rather than over, the strength
that will be required to maintain law
and order and good government in the
CONQUERED provides. Why, of course it
is. As the Spanish army, though doutle
that strength; and less Objectionable to
the natives of those provinces, could
not accomplish that object, how can 1t
be expected that one OF half that
strength composed of Americans could
do so Indeed, judging from what is
already going on here aud in those
proyiposs, an army OF 100000 and a
navy of 10000, would not be a
man too many to secure the protection
of persons and property in the Uolted
States aud lis new insular possessions.
Some foolish people think taxes, now
that the so-called war is over, will be
reduced. II they live few years long
er, they will realize how egregiousiy
deceived they. have been.

SENATOR PETTIGREw, republican, OF
South Dakota, says the Constitution
will have to be amended il order to
warrant the new imperialistic policy Of
seizipg and anuexing foreign territory,
even though it be nine or ten Thousand
miles of. But why should that be
done nov? According to republican
precedent, warrant can be found 10 the
Constitution for anything the republi-
cans may desire, and if there be
any trouble about doing so, they can get
over it at once by means OF the genera
welfare clause. There was no need to
ameod toe Constitution in order to an
mex Hawaii, ard Porto Rico. Why then
should there be to annex the Philio'
pine Islands?

The LIE Soir asserts that documents

new and unanswerable proofs of the
guilt of Dreyfus." LIE Jour, in sensa-

MILITARY AFFAIRS

Colonel William Male is expected to
resume his duties as adjutant general
within the next week. The Governor
will then map out plans for the reor-
ganization of the Virginia volunteer mi,
litia. He has practically made up bis
mind to have only two regiments and
require them to be kept up to q mini
mum number cf men. He wants the
regiments to go into annual en-.
campment and the men to be paid for
their time. The Governor thinks it
will be much better for the State to
have two crack regiments than four
poor ones.
Governor Tyler has not been notified
Of the acceptance by the War Depart
ment of the resignation of the white Of
hcers of the Sixth Virginia regiment.
He does not know what course he will
pursue. But De has made up his mind
that If he reappoints officers, whether
they be white or black, to require q
promise of them that mutiny will be
put down at any cost. The Governor
thinks this regiment has brought great
discredic upon the State. Should be
decide to name colored officers they
will be chosen from outside the regl.
ment.
The Governor has received recently
numerous applications for appointment
to his staff to succeed Colonel Joseph
+. Willard, who has been commission
ed in the volunteer army. The Gov
ernor is keeping Colonel Wizards place
open, aud will probably reappoint him
when he leaves the army.
Governor Tyler on Saturday accepted
the resignation of Brigadier General A.
L. Philips and staff, and ordered that
he and such of of the latter as were so
entitled, be placed on the retired list.
Colonel Grenville Gains, of the Third
regiment, is next in rank to General
Philips, provided that the soldiers of
the Third regiment are again in the
State service after having been muster
ed out ofthe service oftheUnited States.
If they are not, Colonel Gaines is no
longer in the State service, since it has
been decided that an officer is not an
officer when his command ceases to
exist. Lieutenant Colonel George
Wayne Anderson still holds his COM
in the First regiment, but there
is no First regiment nor enough of it TO
entitle it to an officer of Colonel Ander-
sons rank. If it be decided that all Of
fcers are ipso facto discharged from
the State service by reason of entering
the national service, it appears that
Major W. E. Simmons, the ranking
artillery officer in Virginia, is the rank
ing officer in the State military.
IL view of the obscurity of the law
on this subject, Governor Tyler mas not
taken any steps looking to the reorgan-
ization ofthe State military, made pos
itively necessary by the war. He hopes
to be able to formulate satisfactory
scheme of reorganization when Colonel
Male resumes his duties as Adjutant-
General which will be in few days. The
Governor has expressed the opinion
that it will be to the best interests of
the service to have but two Virginia
regiments. and to maintain these at the
highest possible point of efficiency as
regards equipment and discipline. The
Governor is considering a plan by
which the Virginia soldiers can be kept
ia encampment every year for stated
period on full pay.

The Situation in Luzon.

MADRID. Nov. % General Rios, 10
a report to the minister OF war declares
that more than 1000 of the 10000
prisoners in Luzon have died of starvs
ton and that numerous murders have
been committed right under the Ameri-
cans eyes. These conditions, he says,
have driven g number of men and wo-
men to suicide.
The minister Of war has ordered that
all Spanish troops in Luzon prepare to
sail for Spain. General Rios has been
instructed to act only on the defensive

TERRIBLE BOILER ExPLosIoN.-The
most disastrous river accident in the
history of Stockton, CAL, occurred at
APO yesterday morning, near Fourteen
mile Slough, when part of one of the
boilers of the river steamer T. C.
Walker, which left San Francisco
about six o'clock Saturday evening,
was blown out, killing FIVE and danger
ously wounding eleven person, while
probably fifteen or twenty were more
or less badly hurt. The captain was
roasted olive in his cabin. The PAS
sengers were panic stricken. The
chief engineer and his wife were scald-
ed to death and the deck hands on the
lower deck enveloped in clouds of
scalding steam. The explosion blew
away the forward upper works of the
vessel. The suffering of the victims
was terrible. i.

The Case or Col. Picquart

PARIS, Nov. 2S.-The case of Col.
Picqrart has now eclipsed the Dreyfus
case. Protests to the newspapers
against his court-martial are so numer-
Gus that special supplements have had
to be issued. An odd feature of the
case is that Col. Picquart is
not Jewish in his sympathies
and the anti-Semites, so bitter against
Dreyfus, are largely favorable to his
cause. Thousands of persons continue
to sign the list OF those protesting
against the military prosecution of Col.
Picuuart.

Will Probably Abandon Them

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Naval au-
thorities have their doubts as to wheth-
er or not any of he Spanish ships sunk
off Santiago can be saved, and they
have about come to the conclusion that
1t is useless for the government to lake
any risks. II the Merritt. Chapman
Wrecking Company will deliver the
Relna Mercedes at Norfolk SO that she
can be repaired $50 600 will be paid.
Not cent, however, will be paid for
the work in the event of failure. The
Mercedes is an unprotected iron cruiser
and is the SIZE of the Cincinnati and
Raleigh. Her cost. exclusive Of arm.
ament, was about $1,000, 900. Naval
officers are not inclined to agree with
Lieutenant Hobson that the Cristobal
Colon can be raised. They fear ths t
the ship has been beaten too severely
by the waves, to say nothing of the
damage ioflicted by our ships in the
ENGAGEMENT of July 3.
