"The Filipinos are brave, but they
lack the qualities the American soldier
possesses. Their Workmanship is
wretchedly poor and they are poorly
officered. If they had been good marks
men the mortality in our ranks would
have been something frightful, for our

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Chief OF the Army Signal Corps Gives
The Result of Recent Experiments.

tne hebult OI neceut EA ApcTihehtss
Washington, May 12.-Gen. Greely
yesterday made the first authoritative
statement as to the progress making
in the development of wireless tele-
crap under the auspices of the United
States signal corps, The important
conclusion is reached by Gen. Greedy
that the wireless system is not likely
TO supplant the ordinary method OF
telegraph communication. The re-
suits so far obtained have been un-
certain. Gen. Greely says:
THAT there is a field of usefulness
for space telegraphy is Gdoubted, but
that 1t will supplant to a material eX-
tent the use of wire for ordinary COM
mercial telegraphy is not believed. Its
value for connection between light
houses and lghtships and the shore, at
Donts where cables cannot now be
permanently maintained, will be great.
For signalling between ships at sea
and to replace ordinary flag methods
in use between naval vessels ii should
prove valuable, since no kind of wealth
er, neither darkness nor storm affect its
use.
"The use of metal rehectors to aug
ment and direct the radiation to par
tcular points has already met with par
tial success"
