from day to day on the islands, bL '-
A. 90 h..
pagn planned in Washington and di-
rected from here. He will be ordered to
divide the Islands of Luzon into mill
/ tary districts, each under command of
lighting general, who will be named by
the Secretary Of War, and whose duties
will be set forth in the general orders,
so that there can be no mistaking them.
These generals will be under the direc-
ton of General Otis, but the latter will
be told by the Secretary of War, his SUI
perior in Washington, what to do. The
War Department will not attempt to
meddle with the minor matters of disci-
pine or of the routine happenings of the
| Philippine establishment, but in broad
way the campaign will, as before stated,
| be handled from here.

| Probably the most noticeable thing in
connection with applications for patents
! is the decreased interest shown in BIZ
