SuLUS WORTHLESS.
Opinion of Lieutenant Niblack of the
Battleship Oregon.


New York, Nov. "a special to the

If we could exchange them with Hol-
land for the Island of Curacao in the
Caribbean for a consideration, we
should be fortunate and it would also
secure US a good ueighbor in the Phil
ippineS.'' These are the conclusions of
Lieutenant NiblaclI, now on the battle
ship Oregon, in an article which ap-
pears in the proceedings of the United
States Naval Institute, a. publication
which has the official sanction Of the
navy department.
las for the Sulu group" Lieut.. Nib
lack observes, the Spanish have never
been able to collect any revenues and
their occupation has only been effec-
tive in the last few years. We shall be
obliged to police the islands by means
of gunboats. The Dutch have a talent
for handling these East Indies people
and besides have native troops and po-
lice.''
It is evident from Lieut.. NibIacl's
information that if Aguinaldo and his
followers are driven much farther north
by the American troops he will meet
with little sympathy and may have to
suffer from the enmity of the tribes
occupying that section of LuzOn. The
northern part of LuZon, he says, cut
off, as it is, from the central by high
ranges of mountains, is peOpled by
numerous tribes of mixed races, vary
ing in different proportions of Malay,
Chinese, japanese and NegritO. They

MR.. LELAND'S SIDE.
Says He Never Wrots to Funston
Claiming Credit.

Cyrus Leland says of the report that he
wrote to General Funston claiming the
credit for his advancement:
Il have claimed no credit for getting
the Twentieth Kansas ordered to the Phi
ippines, nor have I written any letters
claiming any credit. In the latter part
of June, 1888, in company with Senator
Baker, Senator Harris, Congressman
Curtis, Congressman Long, General
Bristow, Colonel Lindsay and Harry
Bone, called upon the president and
urged him to have the Twentieth ordered
to the Philippines. We all claimed they
wished to go, that the people of Kansas
would be disappointed if the regiment
was not sent to the war. The regiment
was then in fine condition. The president
assured US that the Twentieth would go
to Manila if any more troops were or
dered there. The president thought they
would be ordered to Manila
