CABINET CONSIDERS
REPORT ON PHILIPPINES

WASHINGTON, Nov 3.-The Cabinet
meeting lasted two hours, much of the
time being spent in the reading and dis
cussion of the preliminary report of the
Philippine Commission. The report was
considered very satisfactory and received
the full approval Of the Cabinet. There
was some incidental discussion of the
status of our insular possessions in rela-
tion to the Postal Union.
The particular point under discussion
was that involving the right under the
law of our soldiers in the Philippines to
send through the mails to friends in this
country souvenirs of little or no CONNER
cial value. Under a strict construction of
except books are prohibited from being
sent through the mall But the Govern
ment, realizing that with the approach of
the Christmas holidays the soldiers serv-
ing in the Philippines undoubtedly will
wish to send home some mementoes of
their service, an earnest effort will be
made TO overcome the difficulties present
will formulate some regulation which will
meet the situation.
The subject of a civil government for
cuba also received considerable attention
The necessity for a change in the present
military system, 1t Is said, becomes more
and more apparent, and the President is
waiting only until an entirely suitable per-
son can be found before taking action in
that direction. General Wood Is said to
be very favorably regarded in this con-
nection, but there are obstacles to his ap-
pointment which at present are deemed
unsurmountable. One of them is that
there are a number of officers in Cuba

yisable

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Whatever eXpec-
tat1on there was that Richard Croker
would make a scene before the Assembly
Committee on the management of this
city was not fulfilled
In the course of an address before a
political meeting a few days ago Chair
man Mazet asserted in effect that when
the gas charter was introduced in the
Legislature by him, that measure being
inimical to the New Amsterdam Gas
Company, and it is alleged, in the inter-
est OF the Consolidated Gas Company,
Mr.. Croker proposed TO withdraw his op-
position TO the bill If the Consolidated
Company would buy at his price stock of
the New Amsterdam Company which he
held, It was to make denial of this state
ment that Mr.. Croker yesterday demand

MT Croker was at the committee room
early to-day. Before the proceedings
the committee and counsel met and had a
protracted conference. Immediately on
calling the committee to order Chairman

ONE NATION TO
SOON WITHDRAW
Negotiations Relating to
Samoan Islands.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-Active nego-
uatlons having for their object the dis
solution or the Samoan agreement are in
progress between the United States, Great
Britain and Germany. These negotiations
are being conducted in London and Wash
lngton. 1T is evident from what can be
learned that the United States will be-
come the possessor of Tutuila Island and
certain rights in other islands and that
either Germany or Great Britain will
withdraw from the group. The authori-
ties would prefer Great Britain as d
neighbor, but Germany has larger inter-
ests IN the island of Upolu and the British
government may come to the conclusion
that 1t would be wiser for it TO rein-
quish its interests in the island
Offcials of the department with whom
talheu lolo me to-day that the three
powers are considering propositions which
each submitted, Both Great Britain and
germany understand that the United
states proposes to stand in the control of
the island of Tutula, which forms part
or the coast line. Naturally the Germans
IN Samoa are greatly opposed to the with
drawal of their Government. but If Ger
many could secure adequate Compensation
she may be willing to relinquish her claim
to the islands. The compensation, how
ever, will probably be fixed so high that
Great Britain Will be unwilling to give il.
The German Minister and British
Charge d'Afaires were both at the State
Department to-day consulting with Secre-
tary hay IN relation to propositions sub
mitted by each of the governments and
It is the hope now that an agreement will
be reached more quickly than heretofore
had been anticipated.
The war in South Africa naturally
makes Great Britain more desirous Of
eliminating from her international rela-
tions questions which may assume a hos
tile aspect than she would If she were at
peace, and while undoubtedly the British
Government will protect its interests In
Samoa it is believed that she will prove
more conciliatory and that consequently
the agreement will not be difficult of ac-
complishment.

FUNSTON VICTIM OF
A MISUNDERSTAN DING
Member of Minnesota Regiment Says
Catholic Churches Were Used
as Blockhouses.

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 8. - Thomas
Campbell. late of the Thirteenth Mime
sofa Regiment, says the controversy be-
tween General Funston and Archbishop
Ireland regarding church desecration in
the Philippines is based on a misunder-
standing of the facts. He says that he
himself is a Catholic and that there were
a score or more of Catholics in his com,
pauy, all of whom had as many church
relics as did their Protestant comrades
The reason, he says, is that the Flipinos
before the United States troops came.
The buildings were loop-holed for small
arms and used as storehouses and hos
pitfalls, so that the destruction of the
buildings became a strategic necessity.
The paraphernalia either had to be taken
away or suffer destruction with the build
