Definitely Decided to Croute -Four De

DcNn1ICiy lJcclicu TO SrOIto LOur de-
partments In the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-It has been
definitely determined to create four de-
partments in the Philippines as out
lined in these dispatches Il few days
ago. There are yet some details to be
worked out and a possibility Of changes
in the lines of the departments. The
last plan contemplates two departments
in the island Of LuZon, one taking in
Manila and its environs and extending
south, covering all the territory occu-
pied by General Macarthur. The other
department will probably be the north
of the island, with headquarters on
Lingayen bay. Each of these depart
ments in Luzon will be under a major
general. y department probably will
be established covering the Viszayan
group of islands and another the Sulu
group. Each of these would be under
the command of a brigadier general.

The specifications that must be
adhered to in the selection of the ar.
tillery horses, dealers say, will make
the filling of such wholesale order
somewhat difficult of accomplishment
at this time. It is demanded that the
animals be 'full made" and weigh not
less than 1900 pounds. The prices
which the British government set as Il
limit range from $40 to 1925 IL head.
One firm declared that the extra high

even a wife. There are plenty
Of single girls in France who
are ready to go to the distant
island. They are the girls who work
for few cents a day. When one can
buy in San Francisco a linen handker-
chief for 25 cents that took a girl in
France at least two days to embroider,
one can count up about what these girls
must earn. Our laundry girls at 80 cents
a day earn fortunes beside them
When the Government made the an
nouncement that it would give the girl
a gift of $50, a trousseau worth $50, and
free transportation to Madagascar, with
the prospect of a rich husband, her own
home, servants and horse and carriage
even, it was like offering her a seat in
heaven.
More than a hundred young women ap-
piled to the Government and offered to
go out to the island. The offer required
them to be between % and 50 years of
and industrious. Birth certificates. phy-
sician's certificates, employers certih-
Gates were presented, and then twenty
girls were chosen.
After that the shopping began with an
inspector to decide. And 800 will buy an
endless variety of things for a very poor
girl in Paris.
Be sure that every girl was ready when
the time for sailing came, and they said
"au revoir but not good by" for every
one hoped to return some time and show
her friends how she had prospered
There was no definite idea of who
should marry whom. but photogra phs had
been exchanged. The planters were all
we'll to do, but they could not get away
from the island plantation for any length
of time because they employed hundreds

because they can find no wives out there.
France has her share of the white
mans burden" and has to think hard
about it. When she put her arms around
the island of Madagascar she got what
our own Uncle Sam is getting in the Phil
ippines.
There is a great country so many miles
from home that the settlers must often
depend upon themselves and the natives.
The natives were not more overjoyed
than is usual to have the white man take
up his burden and tell the black man
what to do to be saved. OF course it is a
good thing for them but it takes a white
mans army to make them see it that
way. There is only one real solution of
the problem for France, and that is to
get people to go there and live, to get
property interests there and each to look
after his own corner and help civilize the
island France offered the colonists
every inducement TO stay, gave them
land and protection and offered a market
for the vanilla and coffee and indigo they
grow, but the Frenchmen said, What is
home without a wife?" and would not
stay, even though they might be doing
well financially.
So mother France smiles and says, 'Ill

one to keep uninjured so long as they re-
mained on board
The utmost order had prevailed during
this fearful and trying ordeal but after
daylight all was confusion and panic
Some leaped madly overheard, while 9TH
ers so crowded the boats as to nearly
swamp them. Some few sick and dis
heartened ones refused to leave the ship
at all But If the terror of the situation
and the hope of self-preservation had
driven most of the passengers into a
panic there was one brave man who kept
cool and self-possessed, and it would be
impossible to oNerestmate the services
which noble James Teer rendered to his
fellow-passengers on that awful morning
He kept the boats from overlooking and
many lives from being lost by his cool
ness and courage.
The General Grant had only three boats
on board-two quarter and one long boat
The two quarter-boats had been lowered
and were engaged in picking up those of
the passengers and crew who were strug-
CLING for life in the water. In one of the
boats, in which was Teer. there was a
quantity of beef, pork and boHillon. The

see the last death throes of the General
Grant. The hull was entirely under wa
ter and the broken masts were all that
remained above. She went down before
the eyes of Teer and his companions,
who saw the water crawling up the
masts quicker and quicker and over the
heads of the few luckless beings who
screamed for the aid that could not be
given. Over the head of the last passen-
ger to be seen went the heaving waters
and then over the mizzen top where the
captain stood. The light was dim, but
Teer and his companions were able to
discern a dark figure waving a white
handkerchief as a last adieu when the
figure sank and the sullen waters of the
cavern closed over ALL and those in the
boat knew that they had parted forever
from their captain and their ship.
The two boats containing in all fifteen
souls who had succeeded in escaping the
dangers of the cavern were both wofully
lacking in necessaries. The people were
only scantily clad, and in the panic had
omitted to bring with them tools or
clothes or anything that would be SER
viceable.

long boat of 20-feet keel was manned by
few sailors and filled with passengers,
chiefly the women and children The diff
ficulty of launching this boat was soon
solved for as one wave bigger than it's
fellows rushed in and lifted up the ship
on its crest, the mainmast struck the
rocks above so forCibly that the heel was
driven through the bottom of the hull
and in a few moments the waves were
breaking over the deck.
The captain and one of the passengers
climbed up into the rigging. The long
boat glided off the sinking deck into the
water, leaving behind ii two or three un-
fortunate beings. The boat was pulled
rapidly to the mouth of the cave to join
the others, but before it was a hundred
yards from the ship heavy sea, a swift
eddy and the great weight of the passen-
gers caused it to founder, and all its
occupants were left screaming and fight
ing for life in the angry waves. Two OF
the crew and one passenger were picked
up by Teer, but the rest were drowned.
In their endeavor to save these last the
people in Teer's boat came right across
the mouth of the cavern just in time to
