WASHINGTON, March lU.-The navy,
department is taking steps towards the
formation of q mosquito fleet for the
Philippines The conditions now pre-.
vailing in Luzon indicate that for q
long time it will be necessary to main
tain strict police OF the coast and in
land waters. For the inland work, es-.
pecially, the department will need some
very light draught boats. For this work
the big ocean tugs that formed the mos
quito feet that operated around Cuba
during the blockade, and Of which tho
government has number, are now be-
ing looked over with view to just this
service. Some Of them are on the
Pacific coast. The department has
figured out coast voyage that
will take them up the Alaska
coast, coaling at Sitka, Unalaska,
Cooks Inlet and 80 down through the
Aleutian islands to Hakedoto, the north
ern point Of Japan. Thence they can.
make the run across the China yea
down to Hong Kong and thence to the
Philippines. Il will be about two
months voyage, but one that can DO
made safely. Spain had . large feet Of
these small gunboats and torpedo gun
boats. admirably suited for this work In
the Philippines, but Spain has recently
sold Is Of them ct Hong Kong. Il u
possible some Of these vessels may b
repurchased by the government, in csse
they were in good condition and can be-
had for the reasonable sum. The tugs

and other residents ars Of the opinion
that the determination OF tho Tagalis is
the only guarantee Of peace. that they
can easily be whipped If they give

WASHINGTON, March l8.-There was

partment to discuss . cable dispatch
from General Otis which was regarded
- most important BY those who Rad it
a. indicating that hostilities might
cease very suddenly In the Philippines
and collapse Of the instruction come

was based on the favorable reports no

1t is believed at the war department
that tho method in which the Ameri-
cans have conducted the fighting has
done much to convince the Nlipinos
Of tho uselessness Of trying to drive out
the United States forces. The fighting
has been Of different character from
that to which they were accustomed
when the Spsniards were in possession
of Manila.
General Otis cable caused asgreat
deal of qualification. It was sent to the
president Ut Townsville. Ga The
preparations that have been under way
to send further troops and supplies to
the Philippines have not bsen delayed,
however. The light batteries which
General Otis requested will be can't.

There is nothing of exaggeration in the statement
of Judge Gibbons Hardly week passes without
bringing reports OF some accomplishment by the
sefpropelling carriage In France it has just been
demonstrated that by automobile driven by cleo
tricity it is possible to make trip from Paris to
Rouen without recharging the storage battery. The
journey occupied seven hours and fifteen minutes,
and the supply OF electricity exhausted at the
at the present time be worked at high rate OF
speed for eight hours, the normal hours OF labor
day, without losing time in changing or recharging
batteries
OF the superiority of the automobile for general
street traffic there can be no doubt Postmaster Dorr
of Buffalo has recently tested the machine in collect
ing mail, and the results were surprisingly good. In
the first test mail collected from forty boxes on
route eighteen miles long in hour and thirty min
utes. To cover the same route with horse
wagon required more than three hours A trial was
made another route the next morning, when mail
collected from sixty three boxes in hour and
fifty minutes. The time required for horse wagon
to this route is three hours and five minutes.
Still another test made July q another
route fifteen miles in length, with fifty-four boxes,
and collections were all made in ninety minutes

officer by sending him slide containing the genuine

beginning and the middle of the controversy are ap-
parenv questions of Identification Whether 1t Will

The bubonic plague seems to have had an oriental
origin, and those most familiar with It's history and
with its manifestations doubt whether it could rely
upon an occidental reception Atall events the conspr-
acv OF the two japanese sailors who deliberately com
itted suicide near the Golden Gate in order to fur

scientific cultures OF bubonc bacilli taken from
their swollen glands completely failed The principal
