SUPPLIES FOR SOLDIERS
Over a Million Dollars Worth to
Be Sent TO Manila.
Large shipment to Go on the
Transport Thomas. Which Leaves
New York TOmorrow-TOns Of
Clothing and Camp FittinEs-WOrk
That Has Been Accomplished.

Arrangements have just been completed
a, the Quartarmaster Generals Office of the
| War Department for the shipment of com-
! missary supplies aggregating in value more
than 81, ,OO0, OOO The supplies are being de-
livered by the contractors to New York
| and San Francisco as fast as possible, much
being already at the two shipping points
awaiting the sailing of the transports. A
large portion of the supplies will be sent on
the transports Thomas. Meade, and Logan,
the first of which sails from New York for
Manila tomorrow. The Meade and the Lo-
gan are expected to sail about November
20. The present shipment is intended to
supply the wants of the army during the
coming six months.
The supplies include every article of
clothing, which goes TO make up the uni
form of the American soldier. Everything
that is of use in making a camp from tent
to a tent pin is also being sent. The addi-
tional number of tents and camp parapher-
MALTA is intended for the volunteer regi-
ments that are expected to arrive at Ma
Mia in a few months. An extraordinarily
large number of hospital tents are included
in the consignment. In view of the proba-
bic early resumption of active hostilities
the supplies have been larger than they
were for the six months just ending. as the
wear and tear and loss of clothing is very
materially increased when the army is in
the enemy's country.
The following is a list of articles to be
sent:
One thousand brassards. Is, 900 pairs can
vas fatigue trousers, %. 900 pairs chevrons,
khaki; $4,000 pairs summer knit drawers.

NAL Gentle to Others.

BURLINGTON, N. j.. Nov "A vicious
horse, which had taken an unnatural dis
like to his master. nearly caused the death
of Reuben Carhardt, of Willingborough
township. yesterday and even now it is
not sure that Carhardt will survive the at
tack. Although the horse made repeated
efforts to injure Carhardt every time he
came near him, by kicking and biting. he
would not dispose of the animal. To all
other persons the horse was kind and gen.
tie.

grass, and commercial timber lands, which
are taxed one peso per cuerda (94 acres)

and poor woodlands, which are taxed so

The taxes on real estate in cities and
towns are assessed upon houses at per
cent OF the rent, or OF its equivalent, for
houses occupied by the owner. Sugar mills
and coffee driers are classified as town
property. and are taxed one-fourth of per
cent on the value Of the property.
II the property is controlled by other
than the owners, the tax is doubled. Ex-
emption from taxation is made upon brick
and lime kilns, village huts owned by the
occupants. churches and cemeteries, sterile
lands, and the small holdings of second and
third class lands devoted to domestic gar
dening There are also limited exemp-
tions upon newly drained swamp lands,
newly cleared woodlands. planted in cof-
fee, and sandy lands growing cocoanuts..
Regarding the opportunities for manufac-
turers in the island, General Davis says
that while fuel is high there, water power
is very cheap. "All of the rivers have a
rapid fall,' he says. "and may be utilized
for irrigation. and. there is small need for
large and costly reservoirs. This re-
source in water power is extremely impor-
tant, on account of the fact that there is
no coal and little other native fuel"
