The President Wants to See Ameri-
cans Settle the Philippines
and Cuba.
e-e-e-e-e-s-e-e-e-e-e

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2S.-To-
days Cabinet meeting was uneventful.
AS usual the Colonies furnished the
chief topics of discussion, but only de-
tails of minor interest were gone over,
with the exception of the mastering out
of volunteer troops in the Philippines
and the transportation to the islands
of regulars to replace them. The lat
ter subject was discussed at some
length, the President desiring the adj
vice of members of the Cabinet as to
the most desirable route.
Now that warm weather is approach
ing it is believed it will be more desir-
able to send troops by way of San
Francisco, instead of taking the East
ern route through the Suez canal and
the Red Sea.
Secretary Hitchcock, who is familiar
with the climate in that part of the
world, called attention to the extreme
heat through which troopships would
have to pass If the Eastern route were
taken. BY taking that route ships are
compelled to cross the equator and
spend several weeks in the belt where
the climate Is intensely hot. By TAX
ing the Western route transports would
consume less time in the voyage and
the trip would be much more comfort
able for the soldiers.
1t was finally decided that the West
ern route would be chosen and steps
will be taken Immediately to provide
more transports. There is a scarcity
of ships now at San Francisco, but
more will be chartered.
The situation in the Philippines was
discussed in a general way and the
President expressed his qualification at
the way the campaign has been con-
Quoted. According to the statements
of members of the Cabinet after the
meeting the question of probable COM
plication with foreign powers was not
touched upon, neither the President nor
any of the members of the Cabinet be-
lieving there is any danger Of such
trouble arising.
In reference to the muster out Of vol
unteer troops in the Philippines the
President has on foot project which
he is anxious to have carried into eff
feet if it is in accordance with the rules
of the War Department. That is. that
any members of the volunteer army
who wish to take up their residence In
the Philippines or the West Indies may
be mustered out there, without having
to return to this country at all. Mr..
Mckinley and others are of the opinion
that great many soldiers will have
seen opportunities for business ventures
which they would like 20 take advant-
age of and he believes that it would be
good thing for the future of the

MISTOOK CHARCOAL
FOR HUMAN BONES
Chicago Police Thought They Had
Found Clew in the Becker
Case

CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The police, in
searching the home of Albert Becker to-
day. for some clew that might lead to the
solution of the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of the butchers wife, made
what they for time believed was SEN
sational discovery. Mixed in the ashes
of the stove were found what appeared to
he several pieces of bone, and the theory
was at once advanced that Mrs. Becker
body had been dissected and burned piece
meal. Professor Dorsey of the Field Co
lumbar Museum, however, pronounced
the refuse nothing but pieces of charcoal.
Nearly every foot of the prairie in the
vicinity of the Becker home has been
thoroughly searched, as have the waters
of the "Bubbly Creek" but without re-
suit.
Becker still claims his wife will return
sooner or later.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Feb. 2S.-Cap-
tain William Corkum of the fishing
schooner Mondego, which arrived at
this port from a fishing trip to-day.
brought news that the overdue steamer
Moravia, Captain Ferguson, which
sailed from Hamburg, for Boston, jan
uary IS. was wrecked on the northeast
bar of Sable Island, about February II.
The Moravia was making her last trip
for the Hamburg American line, as she
had been sold recently to the Sloman
line of New York. She was almost
three weeks overdue, and it was
thought that the delay was owing to
some trouble with her machinery.
The steamer carried cargo of gen.
eral merchandise, mainly for Boston
firms. Both vessel and cargo were in
sured. She had a crew of about thirty.
The Moravia was an iron vessel of 2141
tons register built at Glasgow in 1888.

NEW YORK, March AT 1870 this
morning DR.. Durham, in attendance on
Rudyard Kipling, issued a statement
in regard to Mr.. Kipling's condition, in
which he said he was not discouraged.
Mr. Kipling," he said, lis better in
one sense and worse in another. We
hope to be able to issue a more favor
able bulletin in the morning"
On being asked as to what he meant
by this, Dr. Durham said that he could
not explain, but physicians would I'M
derstand. 1t is taken to mean that Mr..
Kipling has not yet passed through the
crisis of the disease, but that probably
the crisis will be reached before the
next bulletin is issued.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28-The following
bulletin was issued at 11:10 tonight;
Mr. Kipling, on the whole, has not
gained during the day, though the res
piratory function has so far improved
that the use of oxygen is no longer neces-
sary. The influence of the persisting in
Illumination in the upper lobes is still
manifest E. G. JANEWAY.
THEODORE DUNHAM.
It was said that Mr.. Kipling's lung
area available for breathing was at it's
minimum on Sunday night. 1t was in
creased considerably yesterday and
still more this morning. With this i'm
provement the danger of coma and de-
lirium passes away and hopes for re-
covery are increased. There is reason
to believe, according to the statements
that come from the sick room, that the
clearing out of the lower lobe of the
patients right lung will continue
steadily and breathing will become
so easy by the end of the tenth day of
Mr.. Kipling's illness that, unless re-
lapse occurs, his recovery is only
matter of time.
DR.. Conlin, the Kipling family ply
stefan at Brattleboro, VT, is now in at
tendance at the bedside of the author
Mrs. Kipling this morning sent the
following note downstairs:
Mrs Kipling wishes to acknowledge
with grateful thanks the many letters
and kilograms of sympathy sent her. They
are too numerous for her to reply to in
