FOR DRASTIC MEASURES
To Stop Supplies and Munitions of War
Reaching the Filipinos.
NOn-COmbatants Must suffer Until
Peace IN RestOred-Radical Change
of Policy Decided Upon.

The War Department is preparing to
adopt the most drastic measures to stop
supplies and munitions of war from reach
ing the insurgents in the Philippines. The
administration in conducting the war in
the Philippines has heretofore been act
uated in Its policy by the purpose to es-
tablish order and recognition of authority
with as little sacrifice to the natives as
possible. and has been inspired by senti-
ments of humanity to make the penalties
of war as light as possible But it is recog-
nized that If the struggle is not to be pro-
longed indefinitely, the war must now be
prosecuted with all the vigor and severity
and the penalties which real war involve.
Steps are being taken to prosecute the war
with the utmost energy and to lay aside all
sentimental consideration until peace has
been established This marks a radical
change of policy. and there is every hope
in the department that the rebellion will
be crushed out with an iron hand very
speedily
1t is impossible to terminate the war by
any method which does not involve suffer
ing upon the people of the Philippines. The
regard for the non-c ombatants has rem
dered 1t very difficult to prevent supplies
and munitions of war from reaching the
insurgents, 1t being practically impossible
to allow the entry of articles of commerce
for the use of the peaceable natives with
out benefit to the insurgents.
The department has determined 1t to be
necessary to cut off these supplies, and a
plan for virtual blockade has been agreed
Upon between the Navy and War Depart
ments which, it is believed, will be APP
proved by the President Immediately on his
return to Washington. This plan will I'M
doubtedly involve suffering upon the coun-
try. but it is felt that war cannot be prose-
cuted with exemption from its penalties.
and that the more drastic measures which
promise to terminate the war speedily will
be more merciful in the end than the in
definite protraction of hostilities.

ACCIDENT TO THE NEWARK,
Piston Rod of the Port Engine Breaks
in Two.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-The
cruiser Newark met with mshap as she
was coming into port on Tuesday, the news
of which has just leaked out. When off
Angel Island one of the piston rods of the
port engine broke in two. and the piston
smashed through the cylinder head. The
engine was stopped as soon as possible and
the cruiser proceeded up the bay her
other engine. The repairs will probably be
made at Mare Island.
Capt. c. f. Goodrich Of the Newark has
been detached from that command, and to-
day will assume command of the battle
ship Iowa, relieving Capt Terry, who is
ordered home on waiting orders. At the
same time the command of the Newark
will devolve upon Capt. b. F. McCalla. 1t
is expected Capt. Terry will soon be pro-
NOTED TO the rank of rear admiral.

Mr.. organs visit to Indiana as the present
time, when there is no campaign in prog
ress. can have but one explanation-that
1t is intended to keep the silver issue in the
Chicago platform to the fore. The advo-
Gates of 16 to have been suspicious that the
element in the party which does not be-
lieve in the reaffirmation of the free COIN
age of silver has been quietly increasing
These members make little outward sign
but it is known that there is a large number
of them-so large indeed that If the heresy
is not checked divided delegation will be
elected to the next Democratic national
convention. The ultra silver leaders believe
that If Mr.. Bryan comes here and reaffirms
his faith in 16 to 1 and declares that the
Chicago platform must be reaffirmed the
element of the party represented by the
Sentinel, the Terre Haute Gazette the
South Bend Times and few others will
be so discouraged that they will at least
cease their quiet efforts against 16 to l. Ac-
cepting the advice of the editor of the
South Bend Times CDemocratic) the silver
ties propose to have the Democratic party
In Indiana settle the question now whether
IT will do business as Democrats or Popu-
lists" Whether Democrats or Populists, AL
len w. Clark, Shanklin. Van vorhis and the
majority of the Democratic county politi-
clans. whose chief vocation is politics, pro-
pose to do business for the silver mine trust
as they did in 1896.
Mr.. Bryan will have large meeting to-
day, but all the silver orators in Indiana
and the rest of the country could not draw
five hundred listeners. This is because Bry-
an is the recognized leader of his party
More than that, that large element of the
party which has made Mr.. Bryan its leader
accepts his opinions without question Still
1t must not be forgotten that there are thou
sands of Democrats in Indiana who do not
accept Mr.. Bryan's views on the silver
question. In 1896 the greater part of them
voted for Mr. Bryan under protest and they
may do so again, but the heresy of 16 to 1
is not nearly so strong in Indiana now as il
was on July !. 1896. If Mr.. Bryan's visit 10
Indiana at the present time gives the 16-to-1
element such a lead as to make that the

he has rendered them a great service.

self. a member of some sort Of political
aggregation. This feeling is one of the
primal instincts Of humanity, and as such
of the future 1t is folly to denounce or
seek to eradicate 1t. The wise course Is
to give it large and noble insteal of petty
and parochial concepts to which to attach
itself. Rightly esteemed and rightly di-
rected, patriotism is not a retrograde emo
ton. but one Of the indispensable conditions
of progress.

A WORD OF ADVICE.

Among men having in view the accom-
plishment of common purpose factional
strife is always to be deprecated. This is
particularly true in politics. Conditions in
indianapolis are such that the political
party that puts forward as its candidate for
any particular office citizen OF recognized
and acknowledged probity. a man of af-
fairs and fitness for the office he is de-
signed to fill, and then goes about the work
of his election unitedly and energetically.
will succeed at the polls. At the present
time the Republicans Of indianapolis have
decidedly more than fair chance of sue
cess. In the ranks of the Democracy there
is much opposition to Mayor Taggart, who
will beyond doubt be renominated for the
cord among Republicans will accomplish
his reelection. Every Republican is en-
titled to a fair expression of opinion in
determining who the party nominee shall
be for the Office of mayor or for any other.
Fair and honest rivalry in party conven-
tons is always not only permissible, but
desirable. What the people are interested
III hnOWiDS, anu what tney nave a right 10
inquire into. is not which man represents
or is falsely made TO represent this. that
or another so-called faction OF any party
but which of the two or more candidates
nominated for a particular trust Is best
fitted to discharge 1t after he is elected,
and this will be the test applied by the
voters of Indianapolis when they come to
elect a mayor in October next. Let the
Republicans Of indianapolis meet in dele
gate convention reasonably and in proper
spirit. with an eye single to the nomina-
ton Of suitable candidate for mayor and
place him before the people as the choice
Of the party. and Taggart and Taggartism
will go down in merited defeat; but let all
talk Of faction cease. There should be
no thought of, much less talk of, limiting
the choice of the Republicans to any par
ticular individual, but at the same time
cease the searching of the highways and
byways for the discovery of some one who
will consent to be brought forward as the
candidate of any particular ring or cabal
Leave that to the common enemy.
