The Japanese cruiser Chitose, which
has been seen in this port, has proved
TO be another triumph for the SCOTS
of San Francisco. Under the contract
the Japanese Government reserved the
sum of $4,000 which was to be paid
over to the builders next March pro-
viding the vessel held up to contract
requirements until that time. This
money has now been RENTED, the
Japanese authorities saying that the
vessel had proved SO satisfactory in
every detail that she would be subject
ed to no more tests. The building con-
tract called for a speed of 20H knots
with natural draught, but the Chitose
easily makes 211a knots under natural
draught and under forced draught has
made 23.76 knots.

C. p. Huntington is making plans TO
connect San Diego with the Southern
Pacific system and use that place as 4
port OF call TOR Pacific Mail steamers
running between San Francisco and
Panama. As the new branch will make
a short cut from the Gulf cotton belt
to the seaboard it may be inferred that
trans-Paciiic steamers will also be in
clRded in the Huntingtonian scheme.
In that case Honolulu will come into
very intimate relations with San Diego
and Coronado and with the lines run
ming Eastward by the extreme South
ern route.

The finding OF human skulls and

that the country people had better look

would be very profitable To discover

rs much so to find remains that would
pass for his. The latest discovery
was made on the peninsula of Lower
California, but there is hardly pos
sibility that 1t is anything more than
the customary fake.

The Cuban Assembly is not going
to reject that proposal for $3,0OO,-
900 loan by the United States, where
by the ipsurgent armies may be paid.
That body is not strictly representa-
tive, but it has enough to see that
the offer is prompted by benevolent
motives on the part of the United
States, and that its acceptance will
aid materially in the prompt reha-
bilitatIon of affairs on the island.
Gomez is in favor of the proposition,
and his views on this question, are
likely to have great weight with the
thoughtful people of Cuba. The
payment and disbandment of the in
surgent armies will help TO build up
the shattered industries in Cuba by
restoring confidence and putting all
the able bodied men at work, and IT
will raise up thousands of friends for

The total rail shipments of lumber
ani shingles from Washington for
1898 amounted to 3O,123 cars; lum-
Der 10,400 cars, and shingles 1868
cars. A little speculation as to these
figures will prove of passing interest.
Taking the combined shipments of
lumber and shingles by rail only,
coupled together as one solid train,
the cars containing this lumber and
shingle output for the year 1898
would present train 228 miles long.
The shingles alone would make a
train 149 miles long.-Seattle Post

Those who suppose the Filipinos
are going to wage a guerilla war of
many years mistake the character of
those people. They did not wage
any such war against Spain. They
were beaten IN few fights by the
Spaniards, and they subsidized for a
time, and started a new rebellion
whenever they thought the time fav-
orable. Spain had no such trouble
with the Filipinos as she had with the
Cubans. The Filipino rebellion was
ended several months before the war
between Spain and the United States
began. Probably If the United
States had not attacked Spain the re-
bellion which Spain suppressed in
1897 would stay suppressed for many
years. 1t was the rebellion in Cuba,
and the drain which that conflict
made upon Spain's resources, which
melted the Filipinos to rise IN the
first place. The United States will
have no such trouble on its hand as
Spain had when the Malays rose.
The Filipino rebellion against the
United States is not likely to be
either long or formidable.

An Expert Accountant to Examine
Alexandria County Records.

An Expert Accountant to Examine
Alexandria County Records.
Before the board of supervisors of Alex
andria- county Tuesday afternoon the mat
ter Of an extensive examination of the
books of the treasurer Of the county and
other records was taken up. A warm dis
cussion was Immediately precfpitated be-
tween Supervisor D. n Rusk on the one
side and Supervisor Saegmuller and Treas
urer William Wibirt on the other. Finally
1t was decided that Mr.. Thomas Paine
should be employed as an expert accountant
for one month, with authority to audit all
accounts Of the county. A sum of IS a
day was voted to cover the expenses of this
arrangement.
The matter thus brought to public at
tention has created contention in the board
of supervisors for weeks. Supervisor Rusk
has disclosed the fact that the accounts of
the county have not been thoroughly ex-
amined for at least five years, and his ef-
fort to secure an auditing has met with
opposition, it is said, from others. It was
agreed at a previous meeting, after much
discussion, to employ an expert accountant,
but the decision to hold his services for a
definite time was the subject of pointed
differences.
Last night It was stated that Treasurer
Wibirt had refused to allow Mr.. Paine to
examine his books elsewhere than at his
Office in the county court house build
ing, at Fort Myer Heights; also that Mr..
Wibfrt stated. at the meeting Tuesday, that
he should not turn over his old checks
or the accompanying stubs to the account
ant now employed by the board. This
statement, 1t is said, occasioned serious
contention for some time. 1t is said the
board will consider the matter further at
Its next meeting.
