TO TRANSPORT sPANIARDs.
AIEer Asks for Bids TO Carry Prison
ers from ManiIn to Cadiz.

WASHINGTON, jan 2O--One of the last
articles of the treaty of Paris provided that
the United States government should carry
back to Spain the Spanish prisoners of war
in the Philippines, and that the United
States government should undertake this
task without awaiting the ratification of
the treaty. The War Department has begun
the execution of plans to carry out this
pledge. the first step being to issue invita-
tions for proposals from shipping companies
for the carriage of the Spaniards, as was
done with great success in the case of the
Santiago prisoners. The undertaking in the
case OF the Philippine prisoners is larger
than the Santiago problem, because the dis
tance of transportation Is nearly three times
as great. The quartermaster generals de-
partment has issued advertisements calling
for DronOSals for the transportation de-
sired; the prisoners to be taken up at Ma
Mia or the most convenient port in the
Philippines and landed at CadiZ or some
other Spanish port to be hereafter designat
ed. The terms and conditions are set out
bv the department in the advertisement.
Their number is estimated at about 1900
officers and enlisted men. Cabin accommo~
dations are to be supplied for the officers,
and thfrd-claSS or Stecrage accommodations
having suitable galley accommodations con-
forming 10 the United States requirements
a to SPACE and ventilation, for the enlisted
men. The United States government Will
deliver the prisoners on board the vessels
at Manila or such other ports as may be
designated for their embarkation. Propos-
ais are to be addressed to the depOrt quar-
termaster United States army New York
city. or to the depot quartermaster, San
Francisco, at which places they VIII be
ODened Feb. !.

Discussed by the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-All of the mem
hers of the Cabinet were present at to-day $
meeting. The situation in Samoa was under
discussion, but in the absence of any Off
cial or late information, it is thought no
action will be taken at once, beyond asking
for conference between the ambassadors
Oh the three powers which have concurrent
jurisdiction over the islands under the pres
ent treaty. 1t was stated that it must be
presumed that whatever overt action was
taken by the German consul in Apia was
not with the knowledge or consent of his
sovereign, but rather was taken on his own
account, and that such action, should it be
found to amount to an unjust usurpation
of authority under the treaty, will be
promptly disavowed by the German govern
ment. 1t is believed that the conference of
the three powers will be held at Berlin, and
at an early day.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2O-Contractors
employed in government construction work
on Goat island to-day unearthed eight skele-
tons. 1t Is a mystery how they came there
and there are several Wild stories afioat.
One is that Goat island, which Is now
government reserve, was The haunt Of
pirates and that much buried treasure is
hidden on the island Another is that the
island was used by the Spaniards in early
days as "A burying ground. Several attempts
have been made to locate the hidden treas

earthed to-day are OF enormous proportions,
few being less than six feet six inches long.

that il we had adopted a resolution in
Congress, assuring those people, as we
assured the Cubans. that we had no
selfish designs upon them, we never
would have met with any opposition
in the Philippines. Talk about haul
ing down our flag, will not our flag
come down in Cuba? Certainly it
will, II we are true to our promises.
And the day it comes down will be
the brightest day in our history, be-
cause it will show that we are great,
unseltfsh nation, devoted to the eter-
nal principles of right and honesty.
If the Cubans want to be annexed
later, that is another question. Why
cannot we deal with the Filipinos in
the same way?n

MANY AsPIRANTs.
Men who are ON Either Side OF the
Fence for State superintendent.

Aspirants for the nomination for
State Superintendent Of Schools are
beginning to loom up on the political
horizon says the Charleston Gazette.
Several names have been mentioned
in connection with the Republican
nomination, among them being the
redoubtable Lockney, of Parkersburg;
the superannuated Anderson, OF
Wheeling; Prof. T.. G. Miller Of the
University; the bombastic Outright,
OF Upshur; the hustling Rymer, of
Putnam: and incumbent Trotter who
seems to be the ring candidate Nor
is there dearth OF candidates on the
democratic side. III. l.. Swisher, of
Morgantown. is apparently in the lead
for the democratic nomination. He
is said to be very capable man and
has strong backing especially among
the University men of which institu-
tion he is an alumnus. Foulk, of
Piedmont is receptive candidate,
deferring to the candidacy OF Col.
Tom Davis for Governor. Other
democratic candidates will probably
develop later.

Rev. q. A. Gibbons Makes Great
Shooting Record.

The turkey season opened last Fri
day says the Hampshire Review and
Rev. G. A. Gibbons was at the open
ing. He had blind prepared in ad-
vance and hied himself to it early
Friday morning. Presently two fine
gobblers came and began taking the
bait With one shot he killed them
BOTH He got back in bis blind and
waited patiently. Presently four
more gobblers came. One shot
brought down two OF them and the
third shot on the wing dropped the
fifth one. Mr.. Gibbons logged two OF
them home and with Alex Orndorfr
went back after the other three. Alex
weighed the lightest one OF the live
and it weighed seventeen and one half
pounds. Mr. Gibbons has completed
the job by killing twenty and one
half pound gohbler. He went out on
Monday and returned in the afternoon
with this, the largest one OF the six
The aggregate weight Of the six killed
in two days was 40 pounds. We
doubt IL this record, especially for
weight has ever been equalled in the
country.

Progress And the Merchant.

A noted writer is of the opinion
that ssif future generations come to
find that the march of progress is
too rapid for them, they will after a
time composedly give it up That
is a prediction for which as vet
there is. no warrant. 1t is prepos-
ferrous to conceive ola slackening in
the advance of science, industry and
trade. The essentially continuous
progress of commerce is particularly
evident. The keen. eyed merchant
continues to reach out for the ex-
tension of his business reputation.
he does not even think OF resting
on his laurels, and he is alert to
adopt all modern methods which
lead to success. Especially is he
taking ADVANTAGE OF the enormous
value OF the newspapers advertising
columns. In his minds eye there
no world stepped in sloth. He de
mands increased trade, and his news
paper advertising brings it to him

David Rolkey, the owner Of an ex-

with the war department for the lease
of several hundred acres OF land for
two months. 1t is the intention OF
the War department to use the land

II is said that the next Congress will

tice ground
The number OF men now employed
on the Greenbrier River Railroad is
placed at 1900. About 1000 more
can find employment If they will APP
ply. Lack OF hands is retarding the
work to some extent, and unless more
men can be secured, some OF the con-
tractors will not be able to complete
their contracts within the time speci-
fed.
