A Plan to Relieve General Otis of
Much Responsibility.
PLAN OF THE FALL CAMPAIGN,
tt contemplated n Division of tho I.land
INTO military Department.. with Gen-
erai Lawton In Command of the
Cavalry--Eoo. Wants More Men.

WASHINGTON, Aug. TT is under
5000 that the plan of operations for
the fall campaign in the Philippines
contemplates Il division of the islands
into several military departments and
GENERAL Lawton will have command
IN the n in which the cavalry troops
wlll operate. 1t is probable that Cen
eral Wheeler will be given command
OF a brigade of cavalry in General
Lawton's department.
The boundary line of Lawton's de-
Partment will embrace the territory
IN which there will probably be the
heaviest lighting, SO that Lawton will
be In direct charge of the most impor.
tant forces in the field, and in this
way General Otis, while not officially
~a'scredited, will be relieved of much
OF the responsibility in connection
with the conduct of the wal and will
be left free to perform the duties OF u
military governor.
Secretary Roots short experience
IN the war department has already
convinced him that the views of the
military commanders subordinate to
Otis, who favor a larger mill.
tary force than recommended by that
ohcer, are worthy of serious consid-
There are reasons to believe
he will recommend hat the force be
further augmented.

DETECTIVES FOR COLONIES,

Counterfeiters In the Philippines and
Cuba Cau,e Secret Service Exteu,ion,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Chief Wilkie
OF the secret service says there are a
number of counterfeiters in the Phil.
lpplne islands. They are so numer
Gus and successful that it will soon be
necessary to make provision for secret
service agents in the islands. The coun.
terfeitcrs do not make limitations
OF American money, but reproduce
Spanish and Chinese coins. In the
present condition of affairs in the
Philippines the counterfeiting OF these
coins does as much harm as the MAX
ing OF bogus money here and perhaps
more. General Otis is doing what he
an to break up the practice, but he
has a hard fight IN his hands, as he
has no trained detectives. Chief Will
kie says also that there is much coun-
terfeiting going on in Cuba, Porto
Rico and Hawaii, although not SO
much as in the Philippines and
that h secret service will have to be
extended to those islands.

There is no such thing as real jus.

foreigners find that they cannot OBJ

Li!iuokalani expresses every conf

America and hopes when a decision is
made as to a form of government for
the islands that the officials will be ap-
pointed from this country.
When asked as to her claim for
