The IsreYet 8oard

Washington, January 1e.-There was handed to the president today the report of the military board on brevets involving the result of the work of the board connected with the Santiago campaign. The board is composed of Generals Schwann and Boyn- ton and Colonel Cartetr, and will imme- diately proceed to consider the claims of officers who were in the Porto Rican cam pagn for recognition by the bestowal or brevets. The list submitted in the case of the Santiago campaign includes the names of 504 persons. The brevets recommended will request not only the approval of the president, but must be confirmed by the senate.

COMMISSION FOR
 THE PHILIPPINES Its Appointment Not Subject to
 Senate'S Confirmation. THE LIST NOT COMPLETED Admiral Dewey and General Otis Will Probably be Included, Together With Professors Schurman and Worces-
 ter-Charles Denby Mentioned.
THE LIST NOT COMPLETED

Washington, January 16.-The commission proceed to the Philippines will not be sub- ject to the confirmation of the United States senate, but will be named under re- served authority of the president, and it's expenses will be paid out of the war ap- propriations. It is not expected to commit the United States government to a recogni- tion of the independence of the natives, nor is it to frame scheme of government for the islands, as was the case with the Ha- waiian commission.
 Undoubtedly, however, the commissioners will unoflcially confer with the natives and advise with the military authorities, it be- ing felt here that men of their experience and qualifications will be valuable counsel- lors in the conditions now existing. It is believed the natives can be kept from hos tilities until the arrival of the commission at Manila, and then it is hoped that the best results will follow the visit, including the reassurance of the natives upon many points as to which they are now doubtful. It will also be perceived that by the dp pointment of the commissioners the presi- dent is granting tine appeal of some of the best Filipinos, who are confident that both sides will be enlightened by its creation and declare that the United States govern ment will be shown that the abilities of~the Filipinos for self-goyernment have been un- estimated, while the Filipinos them selves will be induced to have patience De- fore insisting upon self-government.
 So far as can be gathered, the president has not completed the list of the comm.s- sioners. Supposing that he includes Gen. eral Otis and Admiral Dewey, he would add the names of President Schurman, of Cor nell university, and Professor Worcester, of Ann Arbor. He has under consideration the names of Charles Donby as the last mem- Der, but as MT. Denby is engaged with the war Investigating commission, he has not positively decided to appoint him.

COMPLETE AUTONOMY.
Santiago Province Will be Especially
 Favored by Mckinley.

Santiago de Cuba, January 16.-Mayor Racardi has received a cable despatch from pr. Castillo, the representative of the busi- ness men of this city who accompanied General Wood to Washington, announcing that complete autonomy will be granted this province. The day is practically being observed as holiday as a result.
 The city is decorated with flags and mass meeting has been held at which Gen. eral Wood was warmly praised. Bands of music have paraded the streets, cheering crowds were to be seen on all sides and the clubs have held meetings for the purpose of arranging an ovation to General Wood and Dr. Castillo on their return. Subscrip- tioRs are pouring in, so there will be no lack of money to make the affair a success

THREE LINES OF ACTION TALKED OF
Were It Not for the Immunity Promised Witnesses Before the War Investigation Commission, Punish
 1nent Would Have Been Speedy.

Washington, January 16.-In answer to a direct question Secretary Alger at the close of office hours said that the department has taken no action in the case of Commits sary General Eagan, but when ihe inquiry was pursued he declined to say one word as to his intentions in the matter. 1t was apparent during the day that this matter was rece,v ng attention and in faeS the com missary general himself spent some time closeted with the secretary. Three dis tinct lines of action were talked os as w,.hin the line of probability. The first was strong letter of reprimand to be ad- dressed by the president himself to Gen eral Eagan, stating that but for the immu- nifty he had promised all witnesses before the commission he would have courtmar- tialed him. The second line was an actual courtmartal, while the third was a court of inquiry.

BY NO MEANS DEAD.
Col. Bryan Says the Silver Question is
 Live Issue.

Denver, Col, January 16.-Coionel William J. Bryan declares today in a brief speech, which he made at the public reception given him by the Bimetallic league, of this city, that the silver issue is still very much alive. He said:
 ''The cause lives because it embodies the hopes, the aspirations and the belief of our people It is a strong cause because the people need silver. The American people favor bimetallism, never mind where the silver Is produced We do not need it be- cause food has to be consumed. And so with gold and silver. They are important in the worlds commerce because they are needed, and you can never destroy silver while it Is needed
 'The farmer, the creator of wealth. knows that the gold standard lowers prices with out raising money. And if the gold stand ard should once be established, you may not far ahead. To restore bimetallism is to restore the parity between money and property.
 Those who advocate the gold standard as a rule know that the gold dollar is not stable nor honest The strength of the gold standard is to be found in the money cen- ters, and its strongest advocates are those who, when their dollar is invested, want it to go up.
 "If our cause Is just, and firmly believe it is, it's triumph is sure. Truth cannot be crushed to the earth. The hour of death is not here"

they have in meeting the demands of the citizens of the commonwealth that the Quay machine may be broken at this time. As the Quay forces cannot capture any of the signers, the inference is that they see their way to get what they require from the democratic side.
 T believe this is an injustice to the dem- ocrats. They are a fine class of men, and expect to please their constituents, whom they are obliged to face, rather than serve the diminishing crowd of Quay politicians.
 Tt may be set down as tine solid truth that the democrats are too wise to take the responsibility of sending Quay back to the senate. They are not parleualriy il love with the man who has been agalhss them publicly and privately
