DIFFERENT CONDITIONS EXIST
IN WAR BUREAU.
General Miles Praises the Methods of the
New Secretary. and Incidentally Has
Kind Word For General Otis.

New York, Aug. 26.-The Tribune
has an interview with General Miles
in which he is quoted as follows:
1.-THE new secretary of war is man
Of business. AS result, different con-
ditions already exist. The interests OF
the country have demanded vigorous
prosecution of the war in the Philip
pines; now they will have it.
II know nothing about change of
commanders on the island. My com
mand of the army has nothing to do
with the administration. AS major
general commanding, am responsible
for the health and discipline of the
army. Both are in excellent condi-
ton.
General Otis is inc officer. That
has been demonstrated by the splendid
morale of the army, its health and its
efficiency in the field in the Philip
pines.
1.-THE inadequate force to meet the
requirements has been the cause of
somewhat abating the results which
have been achieved. Our army not
withstanding the vast superiority OF
the enemy in numbers, has been vic
torious in every engagement The
army may be large and valiant enough
to defeat an army quadruple it's size,
but it takes additional force to hold
the towns in an enemy's country and
to cover lines of communication.
About 20 per cent of our army I'M
der any conditions is practically in
active, owing to various duties about
the camp and in hospitals, transporta-
ton, sickness and various other causes.
In the civil war only portion of the
army operated on the fighting line. A
great bulk of the troops were engaged
n various duties in the rear.
"Much embarrassment has been oc-
'asioned by the supplying of the enemy
With food and munitions of war by
heir friends in Manila and HongkonR,
lot to speak of encouragement from
heir friends in 'the states. 1t is diff
ult to discriminate in the enemy's
ountry between non-combatants and
oes."

AMMUNITION FOR KRUGER.
Immense Accommodations OF War NUM-
lions In TransvnAi.


Capctown, Aug. s6.-The Delagoa
bay incident, coupled with the recent
transit Of large amount of ammuni-
ton, has directed the attention of the
British officials to the immense accu-
mutation of war munitions in the
African Republic and the Transvaal.
The Uitlanders being debarred from
carrying arms, the supply of weapons
as shown in Lourenzo Marques Della

greatly in excess of the burghers' re-
quirements, and consequently there is
growing feeling among tho British
community in South Africa that no

Sixty Philippine Tribes.

pines becomes more clearly defined.
The pretensious of the Tagsls dwiudle
TO minor matter when the facts in
the case are examined. Il is i'm
possible that one insurgent tribe
could perform the duty OF governing
all the islands The fact is brought
out, whether iutented or not, by q
Manila correspondent Of the New
York Evening Post, paper badly
opposed to expansion in any
islands in the Pacific, Hawaii in
cluded.
This correspondent goes into an
analysis, as far as practicable at this
time of the sixty or more tribes scat
tered among the 200 islands of the
group. The great mass of the popula
lion is pronounced mongrel. Cross
breeding on low level has produced
inferior types. Some Of the Tsgals
are men of intelligence, but these
are few compared with the animal
Negritos, the wild Malsys and the
fierce aud bloodthirsty Igorrotes. :"
The Vlsayau dialect is spoken by
1000 600 people, or probably more
than use the Tsgsl language. A
half m llou speak the IlOcsni dialect,
and there are scores of other tongues,
no two sufficiently alike to be avail
able in common. Several different
languages are found in the single
Island of Lnzon, and one. called
Vicol, is employed by 325 900 people
in the more distant provinces South
east of Manila.
No exact statistics relating to these

the consent of governed lose sight o
the situation as it is They assume
that there is Filipino people suffici
emily bound together to form one
government. When the subject IL
looked into, all sorts of radics
diversities in race, language anC
custom are revealed. AS far as the
representatives of the United States
have visited the islands they have
found no race willing to be governed
by some other native race. Any o.
the tribes would fight rather thar

Tsgsls might subjugate the others
but it would be through the mos

Pennsylvania Republican League Condemns
Civil Services.
From the Philadelphia Press }

From the Philadelphia Press
When the State League Of Republi-
can Clubs passes res lutions condemn
ing civil service reform. and express
ing its objection to the merit system,
it puts itself in antagonism 70 the Re-
publican party in both the State and
nation
The last national convention Of the
party that which nominated William
Mckinley for President three years
ago. put the following declaration in
the platform
The civil service law was placed on the
statute books by the Republican party,
which has always sustained it. and we
renew our repeated decI lrations that it
shall be thoroughly and honestly en-
forced and extended wherever practi-
cable.
That was an authoritative declara-
tion by the party. The convention
which made il was composed OF
delegates elected to represent the party
sentiment and give it expression, both
in the platform and in the nomination
OF candidates This declaration in the
platform was approved by the country.
Ia Pennsylvania the majority for the
platform and the candidates nominated
upon it was more than 300 900. That
ought to show very conclusively where
the Republican people stands on this
question, and it should be as we'll an
admonition to those spoilsmen who are
Republicans only for spoils. and are
ever active in doing something to put
the party in false position.
The resolutions of the Club League
spoilsmen are equally antagonistic to
the position the party has assumed in
Pennsylvania The rarty in the State,
through its highest authority. the
State convention, is fully committed
to civil service reform 1t has regular
ly indorsed the national platforms
which for many years have given cor
dial support to the reform as Repu5-
lican measure The State conventions
have sometimes gone even farther in
their declarations. In 1895 the follow
ing was part Of the Republican
State platform;
1--WE demand that public office shall
be for public benefit, and its term in
subordinate positions shall be during
good behavior -
The resolutions Of the State League
Of Republicans Clubs are thus seen to
be totally antagonistic to the party
position in both State and nation, and
they will be rspudisted by every Re-
publican who approves Of the authoriz-
ed platforms of his party.
The Republican Club League has nc
business to pass resolutions that are
certain to be used by opponents as
declaration Of Republican policy, and
when it deliberately, as in this in
stance. sntaganozies the settled policy
of the party-one which it justly boasts
in its platforms Of having inaugurated
the Republican Club League has nc
claim to Republican recognition, and
should drop the word Republican from
its name. 1t is masquerading under
false pretences.

or two she has figured too frequently in
the police court. being a member of
the notorious East End GROWER club.
The grounds on which the divorce w as
granted were that Mrs. Boyle has be-
come incorporate.

taken the trouble to procure an estl-

statement, made 500 acres. Much OF
this is in Belgravia, the aristocratic

The heir to the dukedom Is the late
dukes grandson, Viscount Belgrave,
now in South Africa an aide-de- camp of
Sir Alfred Miner, military governor or
the Cape. The papers rebound in anec-
dotes of the late duke. he was rather
careless and shabby in his dress and
his life at Elton was that of country
gentleman. At any time during his
stay in Cheshire, the duke might be
seen riding or walking about his pax,
usually smoking a cigarette, not often
composed of tobacco. for he used medi-
Gated cigarettes as remedy for asth-
ma To his household the duke was
always an enigma. He rarely spoke
to his servants and he had an odd way
of leaving bits of paper about his chairs
with word of blame, but with his
head servants he was on most affable
and confidential terms.

GIGANTIC SPECULATlONS
Were the Cause of the Failure of the
Globe National.


Boston, Dec 23.--The trend of affairs
connected with the closing of the Globe
National bank in this city for the first
time developed a criminal aspect
through the placing under surveillance
of the banks former president, Charles
H. Cole. The charge against Mr.. Cole
is the old one of overdrafts and over
loans, made to himself. The action Of
Mr. Wing, the receiver of the bank
ordering the arrest, while a shock to
the friends of the former president,
was not a surprise to those who have
been watching the course of events
and who were acquainted with the af-
fairs of the bank. Rumor was cur
rent here late yesterday afternoon that
such action would be taken. but for
a while it was found impossible to To-
cate Mr.. Cole. Last evening word was
received here that he was on the Pa
cific coast, and this noon came the
news of his arrest, just outside of Los
Angeles, where he had journeyed with
sworn out during the day in this city
and dispatched tonight to Los An
geles.
In the meantime the brokers' and
business men in the city are congrat-
ulating Themselves that the week is
over and that the worst probab bly, Is
known. Just how the affairs IN thu
a stage is probably known to few out
side the former president, but 1t is
practically agreed that 1t YVES a gigan-
tic speculation in copper sto"ks in
which Mr.. Cole became so much involv-
ed that the banks money and credit
was used until 1t was we'll nigh ex-
hausted The inevita be result follow
ed. except that the closing of the bank
was DELAYED for more than a month.
and during the last week was ho1stered
up by the clearing house. which paid
it's Indebtedness to the extent Of many
millions. TIE fact that the bank was
in difficulty, but yet kept open through
the aid of the clearing house, enabled
it's depositors to withdraw their ac-
counts, and a very large number did
so during the early part of the week,
but the city of Boston, which, through
Mr.. Coles influence. when the sinking
fund commissioner had placed nearly
S400. 900 in the bank, failed to take the
hint. with the result that this amount
will be tied up for some time to come.
Notwithstanding the heavy over
depositors will be paid in full or near-
ly So and that 1t will be the stock
holders and directors who will suffer.
Unfortunately a large number of saw
ings banks are holders of the Globes
stock so that the loss will have to be
made good by these institutions.
While the Globe bark probab bly, will
never open it's doors again, there seems
to be every prospect that the Broadway
bank will soon be on it's feet again.
