men from the Arkansas valley, rep
resenting the valley from Salida

not fully advised of the natural ad-

Army Officers at Washington Discuss
the Situation In the Philippines
Otis Should Be Given a.Free Hand
to Follow Up the Blow-Lessons
of Our Indian Wars.

Washington, Feb. S.-There is an
unanimity among both army and navy
officers in the two departments as to
the need of an Immediately aggressive
campaign on the part of the American
forces in the Philippines. Without ex-
ception the hope is expressed that Gen
eral Otis will be given a free hand TO
follow up the blow against the Fill
pinos, who have violated the true, and
give them a Statutory chastlsement
while the memory of their Saturday
defeat is still fresh in mind.
One officer who has done as much In
dian campaigning as almost any man
in the department, said today, IN dis
GUESSING the situation:
Every day that is lost in following
up the blow at the insurgents means
an added ten men to the death list when
the final summing up of the Philippine
situation is made The Philippine ma
tives are like all other half-savage
peoples; they are governed in their own
aggression by nothing but a fear of be-
ing whipped by their enemies, and they
cannot understand any fOrbearance on
the part of their opponent except the
theory that he is afraid of them We
have had the same thing for thirty
years in our own Indian wars, the
British have had the same thing in In
dia and Africa, and so have all the eau
casion races wherever they have had
to deal with half-civilized people. We
lost more men killed by Indians in the
west throughout the mild, tempor1z1ng
and supposedly humane policy Of sue
cessiVe administrations, than we ever
would have lost in a few sharp, sound
thrashing administered in successive
doses just to show the untutored saw
ages that we mean business, and would
whip him first and treat him right at
teTWard.
when the government abandoned the
old Milk River route as it was called,
through the northern Sioux country
and evacuated the lands to the Indians
by treaty, it really precipitated the
whole of the great Sioux uprising that
Included the Custer massacre This
may sound harsh and prejudicial, but
the fact was that in spite of the treaty
and pow-wows, the Indians thought
we withdrew from their country be-
cause we were afraid of them, and
they went to burning abandoned mill
tary stations and as there was nobody
there to stop them and nobody cared
whether they burned them or not, they
went from that to the war path and
commenced wiping out settlements out
side their concession
The case is just the same today in
the Philippines. 1t is unfortunate for
them that the natives cannot under
stand humane policy on the part of
this government, or that we intend to
deal honestly with them. Forbearance
ON our part now simply means to them
that we are afraid of them. and the
quicker we whip them thoroughly and
disabuse their minds, the sooner We can
enter on an era of peaceful reconstruc-
ton and reform.

REORGANIZATION OF THE ARMY
GENERAL MILES BEFORE THE
SENATE COMMITTEE.
Suggests Maintenance of the Army
Upon Its Present Basis Until the
Next Session of Congress.

Washington. Feb. S.-General Miles
was before the senate committee
on military affairs, which has the army
reorganization bill under consideration.
He suggested that in view CT the prob
ability that the reorganization bill could
not get through this session, temper
airy substitute should be provided for
the maintenance of the army on its
present basis until the next session OF
congress. General Miles also made sew
eral recommendations bearing upon the
general bill, but these were largely
along the lines of suggestions made by
him which have already been given to
the public. One of the recommended
tionS which he repeated was for the
organization of the army upon the basis
of one soldier for every thousand Of
the population of the United States
proper, and for every 500 of those oc-
cu0ying outside possessions.
The ub-committee has practically
abandoned all idea of attempting to re-
vive the grade of lieutenant general of
the army, because of the controversies
existing among the officers of the army
of high rank.
General Miles said that he had made
a calculation showing that upon his es-
innate the army would number about
rs, 900 men. He thought we should need
a force of % 900 in the Philippines; 15,UO0
in Cuba, and 5000 in Porto Rico. He
criticised the provision of the bill de-
termining the size of the companies,
saying that 100 men were sufficient for
a company in any branch of the army.
To increase the number would give too
many men to the officers in charge of
them, and thus endanger discipline. He
also recommended the increase of the
general staff on the plan pursued by
the German army.

TRAGEDY OF THE TYROL.
Sad and Strange Death of Prince
Afford of Sake olburg.

London, Feb. 9.-The Morning Leader
publishes the following from Meran, in
Austrian Tyrol: Nothing could be sad
der than the circumstances attending
the death of Prince Alfred of Saxe-Co-
burg on Monday, in this lonely spot,
left alone by his friends and surround
ed by strange faces. There is a certain
mystery enveloping the whole affair.
When he arrived a fortnight ago the
young prince was already deranged
and dying. Yet he was accompanied by
only a single doctor. He was so weak
that he could not stand. At times he
was unable even to convey his food to
his mouth. He raved in his delirium
of his childhood, relatives and COM
rades, and had frequent fits Of vio-
lence, during which he suffered agony
and would cry like child, begging his
father and mother in heartrending
terms save him from the awful pains
in his head. Toward the end these
pains increased, causing frightfuI
scenes. He died in a delirium, alone.
with the two doctors entrusted with
the case.
1t seems strange that no relatives or
friends We're summoned to the death
bed. The proprietor or the sanitarium
declined to state the cause of death.
and the registrar at the town hall told
me the death certificate was under
lock and key and would be shown to
nobody.
