ALCOHOL SOLD As A BEVERAGE.
Report of Gen. Hughes, Provost Mar
shaI General MT MANILA.

General Otis, at Manila, has forwarded
to the War Department a report made 10y
General Hughes. provost rshal general,
in regard to the use and abuse of intoxi-
eating liquors by the troops in the Philip
pines. General Hughes says in part:
Il have avoided all discussion Of this sub
ject until / have sufficiently Informed my
self of the actual facts, and while my in
formation is not Yet as fun and complete
as L should like 10 have it, still feel that
L hazard nothing in what is stated below
There are quite number of articles on
sale at the wine shops in this city that are
about the same thing. They are a Whitish
liquor and usually Favored. and sometimes
tinted by some innocent elements They
are called numerous names-anisado. vino.
beno, Scotch whisky, &c. The base of all
OF them is simply alcohol. Commercial al
cohol is manufactured here extensively
from the refuse of sugar houses. IL Is very
pure ana strong, and can be sold at a price
that is far below that at which any other
intoxicating drink can be produced The
wine venders take this alcohol of COM
merce and dilute ii, perhaps add a cheap
fiavering, maybe an innocent coIoring ele-
ment, and sell il under any name they see
fit to bestow upon it. Any one familiar
with the old bottle trade can tell about il
by giving the various prices of labeled and
not labeled bottles. A Scotch whisky bot
tie with a perfect label is a very different
article of trade from one OF the same kind
without a label.
Now, are we expected To sweep alcohol
from the list of manufactures in order to
prevent a few Uncontrolled men from get
ting drunk? These men want alcohol, and
IN this form they can get il stronger and
cheaper than they get IL in beer and so
they elect to take il. The natives take it
but in moderation and with discretion, and
we have no trouble with them on account
of it whatever. The police are instructed
to endeavor to suppress the sale of these
strong alcoholic drinks to our soldiers, and
persons found selling them TO American
soldiers have their permits revoked. There
are occasionally shops that get fruit alcohol
ana put 1T on sale as a beverage This ma
terial is apt to produce a very delirious or
confused condition. Wherever such shops
are found the police are to withdraw the
licenses from the places. If commanders
Will he careful to report the places where
men have obtained the drink which pro-
duces the effect mentioned il shall be the
effort OF this office to take such measures
as Will prevent recurrence II has oc-
CURED to me that local commanders might
do much themselves to control their men.
A plan which commends itself TO me would
be somewhat follows:
observe the shops in their vicinity where
their men get alcohol and where they loaf.
Declare in orders that such shens-desig-
mating them distinctly-are of bounds" of
liberty, and by arresting and Furnishing
these uncontrolled men for non-conforrnity
much of the evil might be dissipated But
this is a matter for the consideration of
commanders, and is only given as a sug-
gestion that might lead to a better condi-
ton of things

WORK ON POST OFFICE BUILDING.
Mr.. Healy Tells the Industrial Com

At the conclusion of the testimony of
Mr. Milford Spohn before the Industrial
commission yesterday afternoon Mr.. J. P.
Healy, also of the legislative committee of
the Building Trades Council of America
was interrogated regarding labor condi-
tens especially among the brickayers.
Mr.. Healy said that the construction of
the new city post office building in this
city was good example of the unsatisfac-
tory work of contractors, and advocated
the construction of such buildings by day
labor. He said that short time after the
contractor had been paid for the concrete
floors man fell through a weak place in
them and $4,000 had been required to re-
pair the poor work.
Mr.. Healy said that every member of
labor organizations in this country favors
