retary Meiklejohn and Inspector General
Breckenridge in turn. The Assistant Sec
retary presented the law passed by Con
gress creating the staff, and showed that
the inspector general was like the ad-
jutant general, commissary general and
quartermaster general, a staff officer TO
the Secretary of War. The law creating
bureaus of the War Department makes no
difference between these.
The Assistant Secretary could, however,
find no statutory authority in regard 10
the commanding general. There is no
law of Congress touching the command
ing general. He is simply the senior ma
jor general assigned to command by the
President, who is Chief OF
the army.
On the issue by General Miles for juris-
diction over the inspector generals de-
paCtment, through the technicality of an
old regulation. it was explained that this
was only a department in name. It is q
bureau, like others in the War Depart
ment, and differs in no respect from other
bureaus in being under the direction of
the Secretary of War. The inspector gen.
eral is a staff officer of the Secretary of
War.
1t is evident Secretary Root desires to
give General Miles what recognition he
can under the law, but it is the opinion Of
experienced army officers that he can ind
no law which will enable him TO recognize
the general in command as having any
other authority than that delegated to
him by the Secretary of War, who is and
must be his superior.

MINOR ENGAGEMENTS WITH
THE ELUSIVE FILIPIN0S

MANILA, Aug. 10, 5:45 p. m--Of1cial
reports received here from the scene of
the recent fighting with the FflipinOs say
the day was spent in reconnaissance, dur
ing which the American troops found a
few of the enemy. But there were no en-
gagements of Importance. A battalion
of the Seventeenth Infantry, under Major
O'Bren, advanced very close to Angeles.
The major reports about $50 insurgents
there A battalion of the Twelfth In
fantry made a reconnaissance in the di-
rection of Porac, but the enemy there scat
tered. The main body of the American
army is at Calulum. The lines have been
heightened materially since the advance
was stopped yesterday, and now includes
the towns of Guagua and Santa Rita.
Major General Otis to-day issued an
order closing the ports in the hands of
the insurgents TO interisand traffic.
Aguinaldo issued a decree July "a, dated
from Tarlac, closing the insurgent ports
to vessels flying the American flag and
inviting vessels under other flags to visit
them. Visitors under foreign flags can
not traffic with these ports without run
ming the blockade.
The gunbOats Concord, Yorktown, CallaO
and Pampanga bombarded San Fernando
Tuesday. The FilipinOs replied with can
non and musketry for an hour and then
fled to the hills. the gunbOats firing on
them through machine guns until the
was continued for some time afterWard
and many houses were riddled and de-
Stroyed, but the town was not set on fire.
The gunboats did not land men. The
rebel losses are not known.

LA NINFA ON THE REEF
AT BARRIERS POINT
She Is Not Stove In, but Leaking
Badly and Will Probably
BE Lost

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 10.-The
steamer Miowera brings news that the
topmast schooner La Ninfa is on the
reef off BARRIERS Point, where hundred
years ago Captain Barber, whose name
was given to the point, was wrecked.
The La Ninfa lies one mile off the beach
and three miles westward of Pearl Har-
Dor, just out from Eva Plantation. The
vessel has only eight feet of water un
der the bow and draws ten feet. Her
keel is gone and. although not yet stove
in, she is leaking badly. She has
cargo of about $500 bags of paddy con-
signed to Hyman Bros, which is in
sured with John Walker. If her cargo
can be taken off she can probably be
saved. 1t is hardly likely, however,
that the cargo can be saved.
The La Ninfa was bound from Hanalel
to Honolulu. In tacking in off BARRIERS
Point the vessel got in too close and
found herself on the sandbar This
happened about 5. o'clock in the after
noon. She ran on to the bar head on
and Immediately swung around to port.
There was aboard the La Ninfa five
Japanese and three white men in the
crew and two passengers.
The La Ninfa came to Hilo some
months ago with a load Of lumber from
the Sound and then entered the island
coasting trade. She made two trips to
Alaska before coming here. She is now
owned by John H. Wilson and is valued
a $4,000
