increase OF tax levy for road purposes.
AZ the tax levy was " mills last year,

been incurred and taxes levied with the

wealth was about to be thrust upon the
taxpayers by which they could pay all
taxes and public debt without an effort
and stlll have plenty Of gold TO support
them the balance Of life In luxury and
without effort n not so, their posterity
could pay the Indebtedness. raL

Over Future Plans. IA

Washington, Aug. %. - Admiral
Sampson called on President McKin-
ley Monday and spent IS minutes with
him in discussion of the Cuban COM
MISSIONS plans and other matters.
The plans of the commission to ar
range for the evacuation of Cuba were
talked over, and the president was
asked as to whether formal instruc-:
tions would be given the commission.
Mr.. Mckinley told the admiral that
written instructions would be given
the commission in a few days. The
talk along this line was of general
nature and laid down no strict line of
policy. No time had been fixed for the
commissions departure. Pending the
receipt of the presidents written in
structions Admiral Sampson will go to
his home in New Jersey to spend few
days.

has not been abnormally large. Out
of an army Of 544, 900 men France lost
3,7s6 in 1896, which is a death rate Of
nearly in 1000. And these men were
quartered in barracks, in a heal til y

army, which is just about one-half az
large as the French army, should have

|GEN. MERRITT IS MASTER.
Saws That He Has Sufficient Troops
to Control Affairs in the
City Of Manila.
FlLIPINoS IN COMPLETE Subsection.
President Mckinley II Greatly Pleased
Over the Report Received The
Situation Is Greatly Cleared Up
and Removes a Load of Anxiety
from the Administration.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Gen. Merritt
is master of the situation at Manila.
He is in position to control Aguina aldo
and his insurgent horde.
He sent word to the war department
that he needed no more troops. This
statement was in response to an in
quiry from the white house.
The president and his war managers
are much pleased with the generals
dispatch. They accept it as an assur-
ance that the Anne rican commander
has the Filipinos under control. They
would not give out the contents of the
message, and it is not known 10 out
siders whether Gen. Merritt went into
details as to his relations with Aguin-
aldo, but his dispatch clears up the
situation and removes a load OF anx-
iety from the administration.
Ready to Give Up.
Manila, Philippine Islands, Aug. 25.-
At a conference between the insur-
gents and the Anne ricans the former
declared emphatically that they were
willing to cooperate with the Ameri
cans and to surrender their arms
would remain either an American or
4 British colony, or under protector
ate of the United States or Great
Britain. Otherwise, the insurgent
leader asserted, they would not dare
disarm, but must positively refuse to
do so. They threaten a fresh rebel
lion within a month if the Americans
withdraw.
Merritt Is Governor.

Merritt has assumed the governors
duties and transferred the command

information is yet at hand regarding
the condition of the people, but from
what was known OF them before hos
