Change in War Department Admin.
istrationT Meeting His Views.

ch.,re I'm War Department Admin.
~i.trntionT Meeting His Jews.
New York. Aug. 26.-Gen. Nelson A.
Miles said to the Philadelphia CORE
snondent Of the Tribune.
.srhe new secretary of wal is a man
Of business. A a result very different
conditions already exist. The inter-
esrs of the country have demanded a
vigorous prosecution Of the war in the
Philippines; now they will have it. I
know nothing about a change Of COM
manders on the islands. Ny command
of the army has nothing to do with adj
m%inistration. AS major general COM
manding. 1 am responsible for the
health and discipline of the army.
Roth are in excellent condition. Gen.
OTIS is a fine officer. That has been
demonstrated by the splendid morale
of fine army: its health and its eff
cheney in the field in the Philippines.
The inadequate force to meet the re-
ouirements has been h cause Of
somewhat abating the results which
have been achieved. Our army, not
withstanding the vast superiority Of
the enemy in numbers, has been vic
torious in every engagement. The
army may be large and valiant enough
to defeat an enemy q%uadruple it's size,
but it takes additional force to hold the
towns in an enemy's country and to
cover lines of communication. About
20 per cent of our army under present
conditions is inactive, owing to various
duties about the camps, in hospitals,
transportation, sickness and otner
causes. Much embarrassment has been
occasioned by the supplying of the
enemy with food and munitions Of
war by their friends in Manila and
Hongkong, not to speak Of encourage
ment from their friends in the United
States. 1t is di cult to discriminate
in the enemy's country between non
combatants, friends and foes"

GEN. ANDERsON's OPINION.

Philippine Rebellion Will Be QueIl-
ed by the End of the Dry Season.
Washington, Aug. 27.-Brig. Gen. L.
NJ. Anderson, commanding the depart
ment of the lakes, was at the war de-
partment yesterday. Gen. Anderson
commanded the first body of troops
sent to the Philippines and spent con-
siderable time in the islands, returning
to the United States to remain for the
present. His opinion is that the pres
ent rebellion will be brought to a
close by the end of the next dry season.
This can be accomplished, he believes,
~ a sharp and decisive campaign, and
" taking prompt advantage of every
forward step gained by the American
forces. With an army kept up to an
effective fighting force of 10000 to So
600 men, Gen. Anderson thinks there
will he no great difficulty in clearing
out the rebels and bringing about their
surrender. The general believes the
"cquisition of the Philippines will be
Of considerable value to the United
States, for aside from their great pro-
ductiveness, they will form a halfway
place and distributing point for future
trade operations between this country
and Asiatic points.

Ocean Grove, Aug. p. - President
Mckinley, in an address here, said:
II believe there is more love for u
country, and that more people love the
flag than ever before. Wherever that
flag is raised it stands not for despot'
ism and oppression, but for liberty, op.
pcrtunity and humanity, and what
that flag has done for us, we want 1T
to do for all people and all lands
which, by the fortunes Of war, have
come within it's jurisdiction. Ihat
flag does not mean n thing In the
United States and another in Porto
Rico and the Philippines. There has
been some doubt in some quarters re-
speeding the policy of the government
in the Philippines. I see no harm In
stating it in this presence. Peace,
first, and then, with charity for all, es-
tahlish a government of law and order,
protecting life and property and occu-
patton for the well-being of the people
who will participate in it under the
Stars and Stripes"

GEN. MERc1ER's ARREST.
Another RumOr That the Cover
n,cnt Will Place Him In Custody


Another Rumor That the Govern
n,cnt VIII Place Him In Custody.
Rennes, Aug. %. - The government
has decided to prosecute the Eclair for
the publication of the "Canaille de
D." document, one of the four docu-
ments secretly communicated to the
Dreyfus court martial of 1904. and
which has been shown not to refer to
Capt. Dreyfus ut all. But the object
of the government is to discover who
communicated it to the Eclair. Last
evening it was rumored that the gov
eminent has also decided to arrest
Gen. MERCER, but the rumor is not
confirmed. A rumor was also in cir
culation that Gen. MERCER had fed to
the Island Of Jersey, but the story
proved to be without foundation.

Manila, Aug. %, via Hongkong, Aug,
29.-Recent events have proved some
what discouraging to o Gals who are
trying to accompany war with a policy
Of Cancellation. Two new municipal
governments have collapsed through
the t~reachery Of the mayors. To-day
the mayor Of San Pedro Macati, who
was elected by the people under the
direction of Prof. Dean Worcester, of
the United States advisory commission
for the Philippines, vas brought to
Manila and lodged in Jail. The United
States officers at San Pedro Macat1
found that he was using his Office in
securing information for the Filipino
army. Disguised insurgents were
helping him.
The mayor Of Balinag was also ar
rested and confined in the same prison
The Americans caught him passing be-
tween the line of the two armies with
m incrimirating document, which the
authorities secured. Another promi-
nent native mayor is under survefl-
lance. When the election at linus,
which Gen. Lawton and Prof. Worces-
ter engineered, was announced, the
Americans inquired as to the where
ahouts of the peoples choice and were
informed that he was in prison at
Bilibid, where the authorities had
placed him on suspicion of being a rev
olutionist. He was released and In
stalled as mayor.
Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents acquainted with the native
character, who insist that a great ma
jority of the natives sympathize with
the insurgents and elect o Gals whom
they know to be revolutionists. For
two meeks Manila has been policed at
night with unusual vigilance. Appar-
emily the authorities are expecting
trouble. The trend of affairs tends to
make the policy Of leniency unpopular
among the Americans. When they
abandoned Morong they burned the
whole town.
Col. Search, of the Twelfth infantry,
who is in command at Angeles, is
cynical regarding Filipino friendliness.
Instead of allowing the natives to re-
turn to the town as heretofore, he has
ordered his men to shoot all men try
ing to pass the lines and to turn back
all women and children. He recently
gave the amigos in the town an oppor-
tunity to prove their professed friend
ship, putting them to work at digging
trenches and cleaning the streets, bat
this only displeased them. The fore
most citizen Of Angeles, q lawyer, who
had welcomed the Americans with a
great show of cordiality, was found
communicating with the insurgents.
The Americans promptly marched him
off to San Fernando to be tried by
court martial.

to take effect Oct. L. Gen. Hale went
to the Philippines as colonel Of the

as this is said to be only a temporary
military expedient. leaving the general
question to be determined by congress.

States In the Enlistment Orders That
Volunteers Will NOt Be Needed
Long.
washington, Aug. 29.-rhe war de-
partment has received copies Of all the
official orders issued within recent
months by Maj. Gen. Otis. They give
much interesting detail, in addition to
some essential points brought by cable.
AS showing the Sentiment Of Gen.
Otis as to the probable duration of the
war, the following is taken from Cen
eral Order No. 81, giving details for re-
enlistment:
ut is not believed that the necessity
for the retention of a volunteer force
in the Philippines a exist for any
great length of time, hence from Pc
cuniary considerations alone, it would
seem that such re-enlistments would
be desirable for individual interests"

Genuine Alarm Caused Among C1ti-

Havana, Aug. 29.-The strike In Ha-
vana is beginning to cause genuine
alarm among the citizens as it is sup
posed that the bakers will go out to-
day MS they have threatened. A strike
on their part would cause a good deal
of hardship as few private household
ers have facilities for baking their own
bread. The hackmen also threaten to
strike within the next few days ii the
strike of the masons does not soon
terminate. The merchants say every
thing is ripe for n strike that would
mean a general tie-up Of business for
a fortnight, as a majority of the en-
ployes who have had work for some
months have saved money and want a
lest. A sympathy strike would give
them their opportunity. Senior Per
fccto Lacoste, the mayor, and Gen.
Haefel Cardenas, chief of police, are
doing all in their power to persuade the
bakers not to go out.
