GOLD WAVE BROKEN
Warmer Weather Will Be Had Today.
 All inc Southwest Effected.

Phoenicians and visitors who shiv- cred with the cold yesterday and Mon day can console themselves with the fact that the worst of the cold wave is over and today will see q material moderation in the weather and within another day or two the balmy air of last week and the week before vii have returned.
 But yesterday morning was cold for Phoenix, very cold. For the informa- tion of visitors and residents it may please them to know that yesterday morning the temperature was the low est. with one exception, ever recorded here. At half past six o'clock yester- day morning the thermometer dropped to 23.S degrees, the colGest previous record being even 23 degrees in De- cember 1897. But at that time the cold did not seem to be so seve:e as yesterday morning. for the reason that it was still-cold, while yesterday a raw wind from the northwest came off the snow and ice in the mountains.
 Yesterday noted a slight rise in the temperature the highest reading Mon day being 46 degrees and yesterday 49, three degrees higher. To the average person on the street yesterday seemed ten degrees warmer then Monday. This was because the six mile an hour wind from the northwest of Monday was supplanted yesterday by a very light wind from the south.
 All the great west and southwest was within an area of high pressure yesterday, which was developing an eastern trip so that relief will follow In Phoenix the barometer showed 3042 and the same at Los Angeles, San Diego and Yuma, at Flagstaff 3O6O the second coldest place in the coun- try the thermometer registering 20 degrees below zero.

 The Americans are working nobly in their efforts to find the wounded and are bringing hundreds of suffer- ing rebels to the hospital for treat ment The natives are unable to un- derstand the humane motives which prompt the victCrs to succor the wounded of the enemy. The cores pondent of the Associated Press is in formed that members of the hospital corps have made the startling discOv- cry that there are several women in male dress and with hair cropped among the dead.
 The chief of the Ygorote5, the Fili- pino natives who fought so gallantly i'll the face Of our artillery, with bows and arrows, is in the hospital with a shattered thigh. He admits that he never saw modern artille.y and was ignorant of the effect of it until he and his followers met the disastrous fire of Sunday morning. The chief is bit terly incensed against the Tagals for placing the Ygopotes in front of the American battery, under the pretense that they were sent to occupy the post of honor, and he intimates that the Ygorotes will avenge this treachery when the survivors return north.
 The Americans now have a steamer line to Malabon and 500 marines with four Maxim guns have been landed at Fleet beach, north of the city. The third artillery on the main road and the Utah battery in the cemetery coV- cred the advance of the Kansas troops. Among the important points captured was a strong embrasure1 earthwork within sight of Calo0can.

By the destruction Of the villages between the sea and river banks, the Americans secured a vast open space from which Manila might otherwise have been attacked under cover.

 ''The whole Filipino strength will now be devoted to the protection of the country outside of Manila, as Aguinaldo is aware that even if he captured the city he could not hold it with the American warships in the bay.

 Signor Marconi has come to report the yacht races and make experiments for the government In ar interview he said:
 "The outlook for wireless telegraphy Is Bright, and the system is constantly being perfected Although we have several sys- tems in England where experiments are Coing n. A mos successful test of the system was given during th4 English naval nah9Levres some months ago. At that time messages were sent between the war ships. There was no difficulty and the test was held during a fcg.
 Messages have been flashed eighty miles, but do not care to say what would be the greatest distances messages can be sent. The experiments have proven that the curvature of the earth is overcome, for in sending the message between stations eighty miles apart the earth curvature, which is over 900 feet, has been overcome The station from which the message was sent was seventy feet high. 1 do not know the nature of the work that 1 shall do for the army and navy, and as to the arrange ments for my coming to this country were made hurriedly The one who had the most to do with my coming was General Greedy The test would be conducted both on land and on sea-"

PHILIPPINE ARMY
 TO BE DIVIDED
Four Departments May be Form
 ed on the Islands.
PLAN UNDER CONSIDERATION
Each Commander Will be Given Suffi- cient Troops to Guard the Peace ful Tribes from Aguinaldo-
 Lawton and Macarthur

Washington, September 22-A plan is un- der consideration at the war department to create an army division of the Philippines and divide the division into departments on basis similar to that in Cuba. The idea ippines, at least three of them to be com manded by major-generals
 The Philippines, heretofore, have been known as the Department of the Pacific. It is expected that one department of the proposed new division will consist of Gen eral MacAruthur's command north of Man fla, another will be Lawtons command south of Manila, and third will be new command to operate from Lingayen or Daguapan. fourth department. probably, will consist of troops in the islands south of Manila, which include the commands now at Iloilo Cebu and other points.
 The statement has not yet taken such definite form as to determine the com mands of the division and departments. There is little doubt, however, that Lawton and MacArthur will remain where they now are, and probably the commander in the islands south will be under a briga- dler-general. Another officer will have t5 be selected for the department in the far northwest part of the island at the termi- of the Dagupan railroad.
 The plan is to give each department com mander all the troops that can be success fully operated and also insure sufficient garrisons for all points taken Protection to the peaceable tribes is one of the chief objects sought, as representations made to the war department indicate that many of the inhabitants do not want to fight and if not molested and relieved from fear of attack by the Tagals, will assist in sup porting the authority of the United States and make it impossible for the followers of Aguinaldo to subsist.

SUBMARINE BOAT
The Holland Makes Excellent Showing
 in Trial at Green Point.

Greenport, N. Y, September 22.-The sub marine torpedo boat Holland made a re- markedly good showing during the practice run today in Little Peeonic bay.
 The new diving apparatus for operating the steering engines worked successfully, the boat getting under water and com pletely out of sight in quick time. The trial was in sending the boat over m , course submerged, al the end of which it came to the surface with the torpedo dis charged from the tube.
 The run under water was made in about ten minutes, and the torpedo was success fully discharged from the tube, but owing to what is supposed to have been d disar- engagement of some mechanism, the tor pedo, instead of taking q straight course, took a downward turn, and the volume Of mlddy water sent up showed that it struck the bottom about fifty feet from the bow of the boat.

SOUTHERN COTTON SINNERS
They Are Taking in the National Ex-
 port Exposition

Philadelphia, Pa, September 22.-About twenty-five representatives of the Southern Cotton Spnners' association from North and South Carolina are now in this city. The delegation is headed by President J.. H. McAdam and Secretary G. B. Hess, of Charlotte.
 The visitors came to see the National eX- position. While here they will it is said, discuss questions wh5ch may result in tem- porarily shutting down a large number or mills in the south. This is on account ol the anticipated increased cost of cotton.
 The present price of material such as the mills in the association use, is GA cents per pound. It is eXpeeted that in sixty days the price Will be raised to 71a cents The question whether or not it would be advisable to take orders a the present prices or refuse them is accordingly the principal subject of discussion with the commission men here and among the mem- bers of the association themselves.
 Secretary Hess said tonight that the pres ent prices are entirely too low, and unless an advance is made it will be impossible to fill orders at the anticipated rise in the price of tne raw material.
 As a matter of fact, he thought it would be better to shut down than to run the mills at a loss. Should there be a general shut-down it might affect 15O mills in the south.
