Numerous applications have been re-
wives of officers on duty in the Philip
pines for permission to join their husbands

eminent transport If possible. Their
wishes in this respect are contrary to a
rule adopted by the War Department sew
eral months ago prohibiting the presence
Of officers families in the Philippines and
1t is stated that the department has con-

rule is essential to the safety of the ladies

Secretary Root has prepared a circular
letter for use in responding to these appli-

Of the exposure and danger to which they
would be subjected General Otis has pro-
tested against sending any more ladies to
the Philippines as long ,nsurrection
exists on the Island of Luzon. These are
the recommendation of General Otis. but
because of the limited passenger accom-

On board the Hartford during the civil
war a quartermaster named Knowles i'm
provised an admirafs flag by. stretching
four white stars on a blue field "a num-
ber') which made the admiral's flag. This
was flown on board the Hartford, and later
on the Franklin.
When the Farragut statue was unveiled
in Washington April 20. 1881. one Of the
survivors of the Hartford's crew broke the
stops which unveiled the statue and also
flung this flag to the breeze.
That survivor was Bartholomew Diggins
now captain of the watch in the State, War
and Navy building. Capt. Ddggins has
handed this flag to the superintendent of
the building, Commander Baird. United
States navy, who Is a member of the COM
mittee to escort the admiral to Washing
ton, to be presented to Admiral Dewey.
After the Farragut statue was unveiled
the department allowed Mr.. Diggns to turn
into store, at his expense, a new flag and
keep the old one. The bunting Is In a good
state of preservation. 1t will no doubt be
priced by the admiral.

Hotel Buchtel. From here Judge Nash,
Gov. Roosevelt, Senator Hanna, Col. Dick
and other distinguished guests went to the
Elks' Club rooms, where they ate dinner
with the newspaper men. This was an
entirely nOn-partiSan affair.
Afterward Nash and Roosevelt received
the college delegations of which there were
several large delegations present from
Oberlin College, Western Reserve Univer-
sity. Ohio State University and other insti-
buttons. The parade moved at o'clock. 1t
