WAR INVESTIGATING COMMISSION
REPoRT.-The report of the war in-
vestigating commission was placed IN
the hands of the president last Thurs
day afternoon but its full text has
not yet been made public. The gen.
eral scope of it, however, is known.
Attention has been called to the fact
that there were only two witnesses
who made charges against the govern.
ment in the beef issue. 1t is pointed
out that there were numerous allesa-
tions made and many attacks i'll the
public prints; but that when those
making the attacks and charges were
called on to appear before the comm's'
sion with their statements under oath
or otherwise substantiate them, they
failed either to appear or furnish proof
of what they had said.
1t is insisted that all the men who
had made any charges were offered the
fullest opportunity to be heard and
their statements were given full con.
sideration, and that every effort had
been made to probe the truth in what
ever matter had come up before that
body. The Eagan indictment is passed
over without material mention, i'll vie"

blood or constitutional disease, and in

the extraordinary demand for silver in
the orient completely exhausted the sur

was shipped principally to China.

bank ana begins TO throw stones and
shout. sHoo-o, Hoo-a." When that sound
breaks upon them as they stand there
with their eyes shut and with Jaws e1e-
chewing their euds, with one accord they
silently sink out of sight. Sometimes
they remain under water for more than
a minute. Then they begin to come up.
one at time, and as !. they appear the
"aoo-o, Hoo-a" Of their tormentor still
smites the peaceful air. Slowly they
move off, and it is not always in the right

If the carabaO are to work In the carts
they step in between the shafts as care
fully as an elephant steps over the form
large as the elephant and fully as aWk-
ward. The yoke is fastened to the shafts
and the beast must turn his head side
ways that his mammoth horns may go
through. The beast minds like a child
and turns his great head this way and
that as the driver demands. Sometimes
cara bao run away, and then there Is
trouble for anything and anybody in the
way. They are blind with fury and drag
I their loads behind them as though they
were hitched to fairy carts.
Cinnamon know how to humor the ami
mails and for every carabao there is q
"Chino" driver. The Cinnamon sit on the
carts or ride the backs of their beasts
and drive with rope hitched to a
ring In the animals noses. BY a series of
jerks and CALCULATIONS they skillfully
guide their carts through the most
crowded thoroughfares. The one thing
they cannot do is to make the carabao
hurry. The animals are slow of foot, and
it was because of their pokinE gait that
they were ruled off the Escolda, the
. Broadway, Of Manila.
Soldiers can drive them, and some have
mastered the. art Of saying the words and
Jerking the rein, but Chinaman usually
squats like monkey the cart It is a
legend that the carabao can scent a Eu-
ropean from afar, and that the knowl-
edge sets him wild with anger Further,
