AguinaIdO Had Received Outside Encouragement = A Period of Quiefude in inc Philippines NOf expe Cfed by inc War Department 10 Be Broken Within inc Next Three or Four Days.

Washington, Feb. 9.-AH that Gen eral Otis had to report to the war de partment today related to casualties that have occurred so far among tht American troops as the result of ac tions since Saturday night
 General Otis dispatch was as fol lows:
 Manila, Feb g.
 'FThe total casualties resulting from all engagements since the evening of February aggregate 268, as follows: Killed, officers, 56 enlisted men; wounded, 8 officers, 199 enlisted men; missing, 2 enlisted men.
 (Signed) "OTIS."
 Matters in LuZon are now in state of temporary quiet, apparently, and one of the officials who knows as we'll as any one what was going on, says this afternoon that he did not expect to hear of important developments in the Philippines for the next four or five days
 Secretary Alger repeated his state ment made yesterday to the effect that he had sent no instructions to General Otis and in answer to an inquiry as to the projected movement towards land ing at Iloil0, he added that if General Miller had been ordered to make a landing the order must have been given by General Otis. It had not gone from the war depaTtment The impression prevails, however, that this movement is already under way and it would not be surprising to hear within the next two days that it had been ex- ecuted.
 Admiral Dewey was heard from this morning that he had found it neces- sary to clear out all the armed insur- gents at a little village which com manded the island approach to his naval station at Cavite. His action was thoroughly approved at the navy department
 Admiral Dewey's message was as fol- lows:
 Manila, Feb. g. After continued interference and in- limitation of our work, I ordered the insurgents to leave San Roque by g this morning. They left during the nISnI dnQ we DuIu0Q luG NllIdS6 lliS morning. It is now occupied by our troops. All is quiet.
 (Signed) DEWEY"
 San Roque is a village on g. neck of land connecting Cavite and the main land of Luzon.
 THE CAUSE OF DEWEY'S ORDER. Manila, Feb. 9.-The Filipinos were evidently concentrating between CalOo- can and Malabon. Judging from ap- pearances the Filipinos were being re- inforced by better drilled men from the northern provinces. In front of Caloocan they were as thick as swarm of bees.
 The American trcJps feel the heat at midday in the open, but are anxious to proceed. Soldiers are impatient Of restraint while in sight of the enemy. The Filipinos are still entrenching themselves on the left Of Caloocan, the natives fearing the Americans were about to make an attack on or bonn bard the town of San Roque. It is still burning.

EDUC1TION.dL.

1 The Register gently says: The ene-
 mics of the public school system are | overriding it. Not content with criti-
 cism and attack which have been in-
 coherent and malicious, they now seek
 to misrepresent the Board of Education
 because it's estimates are not before the
 committee of the Common Council for
 their consideration, as all estimates are. 1 The Board of Education is as innocent l as the Board of Fire Commissioners. l The school estimates are not there be- cause the city charter does not provide | for the council passing upon them. It is either deliberate malice or profound
 ignorance that they seek to hold the school officials responsible.
 We cannot speak for "the enemies of the public school system" We don't really know who they are, although we have suspicion that some of the folks who have been doing the ostrich act in the investigation are harming the pub lie school system about as much as any,
 body has ever harmed it here But we
 have charity enough to be willing to
 believe that they do not really mean to
 be ''enemies' of education. We can,
 however, say word or two in defense
 of those who want to know just what
 the money which the Department of
 Education will have to spend is to be spent for It may be admitted, for the sake of argument, that neither the Board of Finance nor the Board of Ed
 ucation is under any legal obligation to tell anybody anything about the esti- mates for the Department of Educa- ton. But does the Register think it fair or wise for either board or both boards to take advantage of legality to keep knowledge from the taxpayers to which the taxpayers are justly entitled? Does the Register think that such work will wear well? And is there any law that forbids either the Board of Finance or the Board of Education talk ing the taxpayers into it's confidence and doing the fair thing by them?
 We feel justified in thanking the Reg ister, in behalf of those whom we have poorly defended, for the compliments contained in the words 'incoherent and malicious" and "either deliberate ma- lice or profound ignorance" Such criticism and attack" have the right ring, and are especially appropriate to the discussion of educational matters. And we are ready to believe that the Board of Education is, as the Register says, "as innocent as the Board of Fire l Commissioners" It ought to be.

SUGAR AS FOOD,

The girls who eat candy and want the best there is know what they are
 about. The German military authori- ties have been making extensive ex- periments with sugar as a food for troops. According to the reports sub-
 mitted by the surgeons and Generals,
 results have been very satisfactory.
 Professor Pfuhl, who was formerly as sistant to Professor Koch and is at
 present the head of the physiological
 laboratory of the army, states that it
 is proved that a sugar diet increases the muscular power in comparatively a very short time, and in considera bly, shorter time than white of egg the eff feet of which, however, is more lasting,
 though sugar has the advantage of be- ing much cheaper. The extraordinary by the body explains the rapid effect on the nervous system, which is of the greatest importance in all cases where speedy bodily recuperation is desired, as, for instance in long-distance march ing. Professor Pfuhl, in a series of successful experiments with sugar on his own person, has found that, after long walks, three or four Jumps of sugar removed all feelings of lassitude,

and to a certain extent restored elas- ticity in the muscles, this effect being frequently produced in the short space of a quarter of an hour. He is of opin- ion that artificial substitutes for sugar, such as saccharine, etc, have not at all the same effect Professors Senator and Munll, the eminent physlologists of the Berlin University, have come to the conclusion that sugar has a high nutritive value as the purest and most easily soluble hydrate of carbon.

-------------------- -------------- THE BOER AS A FAMILY MAN

As family man, the Boers reputa- ton would justify him in becoming a
 candidate for the Dunmow Flitch. Sur ly and suspicious in manner, heavy and

 wants of their lords and masters are satisfied. I am describing the customs Of the farmer who lives on the veldt, and has no acquaintance with West efn manners. Such a man i6 little re- moved from state of barbarism, and
 his surroundings are often as squald as those of a Kaffir.

The Boer Is not a beauty, not Withstanding the care with which she preserves her complexion from the eff fects of the sun. Her ambition, like that of the fishwives of Scheveningen, is to become as fat as an OK, though, unlike the Dutch wife, she is not an ex- ample of scrupulous cleanliness. The Boer is not hospitable. He resants the presence of strangers, and, being too lazy to cultivate more than is necessary for the immediate wants of his family, he has nothing to spare for uninvited guests.-Ladysmith Correspondence Ilnndnn Standard

ANorHER scnoo1 QUESTION.

There is a school question in Kansas City, and it is a burning one too. MT Wolfe the superintendent of the schools
 there, thinks he knows something about
 what the women teachers ought tc
 wear in order not to shock their pu-
 pills or distract their attention. So
 he has issued an order directing the
 teachers who wear dresses, or gowns,
 or frocks, or whatever they are, to
 wear long ones. He doesn't call the
 golf skirt, or the rainy day skirt, or
 whatever it is long enough Many of
 the women teachers under him think the skirt to which he particularly ob- jects is just about the right thing. They contend that, in the first place. the golf skirt is fashionable, and secondly, that it is a sensible and sanitary garment in that it does not sweep up the dust of the school-room floors. Despite these reasons, so conclusive in the minds of the fashionable yet rational young wo- men of the Kansas City schools, Super intendent Wolfe has ordered that the golf skirts shall not be worn in the schools, on the ground that they are un- becoming and immodest.
 If the Kansas City teachers who wear golf skirts haven't got them too short we think they have the best of the ar We do not believe that male superintendent of schools does wisely in meddling with female attire If he can help it. And it is not prob able that the sight of a teacher in a golf skirt would disturb any of her pupils much or long It certainly wouldn't unless she looked better in it, than most of the women who wear such skirts look
