This scandal" he said has been referred TO
for two weeks in the newspapers and believe that
the expression OF public opinion on the subject
would have great weight. This Ramapo water

Washington Aug. 20-The map of the Phi

has been prepared for the use or secretary
Root. may assume a more important part IN the
coming campaign than has been given TO IL
heretofore Secretary Root has not only as
certained where the United States troops are
located and has them marked off on the map
but he has also taken into consideration such
information as can be obtained relative to the
population Of the adjacent country, the kind OF
people and their disposition toward the United
States The Secretary has also been studying
the lines of ira. acSrtation and learning what
he can Of the geography of the country.
1t Is believed that more than one army can
operate to advantage in the Philippines ana
the suggestion has been made by some Army
officers that an army should start from dinerent
points and operate in such manner as 10 dis
tract and destroy the Filipino forces At present
the United States forces do not occupy the line
of railway half way TO Lingayen, on the gulf OF
the same name 1t has been suggested that II
one force were to start from Lingayen ana
move south at the same time that another were
moving north there would be great probability
Of soon securing the entire railway TOT the use
OF the Army. and the insurgents would be sepa-
rated into divisions east and west by the rail-
road as they are now divided into northern and
southern bands. Between Angeles and Lin
gayen IS Tarlac, town Of considerable size, and
situated in a province where the natives are
said not TO be unfrendly TO the United States.

great advantage to the Government
While these are now merely suggestions. II
may be that when the Army in the Philippines
consists Of sixty thousand men instead Of about
twenty thousand or twenty five thousand 1t will
be possible 70 have four or more armies operat-
