Washington. Jan. 3.-The administra-
tion intends to ascertain, as precisely as
possible, what can be done toward max

To the world. Naturally this work falls
TO the lot Of the secretary of agriculture,
and, discussing this subject, Secretary
Wilson said:
We expect to learn more about the
Philippines and their resources in three
months than the Spaniards did In 800
years. Fortunately for our purposes, we
have in the volunteer army now at
Manila a force of men fully competent
to do this work. Some months ago my
attention was called TO the fact that A.
p. Hayne, professor of viticulture and |
olive culture in the university of Cali |
forna, and Of the agricultural expert
ment station of that state, was attached /
to the volunteer forces in the Philippines |
as a second lieutenant of artillery.
knowing Mr. Hayne To De man Oh
scientific attalhmentS, l requested the
secretary OF war TO detall MN 10 make d |
thorough examination "l the az 'Cul'u VI al
resources Of the Philippine islands. He
has organized a force of 80 or 80 men to
