WASHINGTON, Nav 2a The report
from Manila that form OF govern.
ment has been proposed TO the Flllp'
cabinet and advisory council, is con.
tirmed at the state department where
IL is said this is the general line Of ac-
ton on which the authorities here and
at Manila are proceeding.
The plan is the outgrowth OF numer'
Gus cables and mail exchanges between
President Schurman, OF the Philippine
commission. and Secretary Hay. and a.
well as advices from Gen. Otis and
Adm. Dewey. The proposition 10 have
a governor general and cabinet APP

operation in Cuba.
Like the Cuban system. the admin.

conditions were unsettled. The an.
thorities here are acting on the theory
that as. Ia the case OF Porto Rico il
will be for congress 20 establish the
permanent form OF government for
the island. II was understood at tn,
time Maj Gen. Lawton went To Ma.
Mia that Gen. Otis would become
governor general. while Gen. Lawton
assumed active direction OF military

might be carried out /! the Fhpinos ae-

ing Gen. Otis the first governor gen
eral, with Gen. Lawton and Gen. Mac
Arthur occupying positions similar &c
those Of Gems Ludlow and Wood in
Cuba. The proposed advisory council
Is also similar 20 that In Cuba. where
Gov. Gen. brooke has the advice OF a
native council as we'll as that Of the
military officers under him.

Visit to Denver.

Our busy scribe and compositor pushed office matters aside and paid Denver q business visit last Saturday. There's no use talking, Denver is getting to be quite a burg.
 The town continues to grow right along, and what's more of it, it's growth IS of substantial nature.
 The buildings are generally fair, neatly painted and appropriately decorated with signs, while every thing presents somewhat Q cheer tul and progressive appearance.
 The mercantile firm of Beck, Harbert & Young is the biggest thing in town, and if the business of the firm is to be judged by Sat. urday's trade, they are certainly selling pile of goods. l hrce hands were kept busy showing goods over the counters what time we were around the store.
 James Myers, the post master, has quite a complete general stock and seemed 10 be catching a liberal share of the trade. He has recent ly put in a handsome cabinet for the post office. which is creditable le to the town.
 Drs. Scott and Hall have each a general line Of drugs, so the wei fare of the people in this regard is not neglected.
 The Denver Hotel and Feed Stable by the jovial Joe A. Young is leading enterprise of the town, and one that impressed us very much just about 12 o'clock. Joe makes living by his numerous other business interests and he seems to be keeping hotel princl. palIy for the accommodations ot friends, including edlters and the deserving poor.
 Other Denver enterprises are a shop, grist mill and a millinery store.
