Orders Issued to American
Commanders.
NOW In THE PHILIPPINES
Non COmbatantS and Friendly Natives
Must Not Be Lett to the Mercy of
the Insurgents Who Are Killing
or Manning Them.

New York, Dec. ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: At the
war department it is learned hat an
order has been sent to Manila directing
the military officers there to adopt a
course that will render unsafe to the
F%ilipinos the continuation of cruel acts
upon friendly natives who have disre-
garded the Instructions Of the insurgent
leaders. Many have been killed or
mained by the insurgents for their re-
fusal to give further aid to the rebel
lion.
Late reports from the Philippines in
form the department that the followers
of A%guinaldo, who have been commit
ting barharous acts, We're evidently obey
ing instructions in disregard to flags of
truce, using flags to lnislead and expose
American troops, and generally duo
ing themselves in a way TO forfeit the
continuance of operating against them,
if they were controlled by the rrA,es
of civilized warfare. In order to protect
and encourage nOn-coInbatant natives
are reported to be in constant dam
ger, our officers are to be expected TO
adopt severe measures to discourage as
sassination and b~rigandage.

Civil Service League.

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec. 14.AThe nine
teenth annual meeting of the National
Civil Service League began today. After
the business part of the meeting Clinton
Rogers Woodruff of Philadelphia read a
paper on'"Civil Service as a Factor in
Politics." At the meeting this afternoon
the league openly attacked the admins
%tration of President Mckinley in regard
to the order of May 90, removing officers
from the list.
The roll call of delegates was the first
business followed by the report of Secre-
tary George A. McE.any, of New York,
who said the league had attempted to find
out the facts regarding certain violations
OF the rules of the service in the treasury
department of the national government.
he had written, he said, to Secretary
Gage for the information and received a
letter IN reply stating that it was not
proper to give Information to the public
which was of private nature. The matter
was taken up by the league and the fol-
lowing resolution was offered by the lea
que:
Ine league prOnounceS the action of
the treasury department in refusing ac-
cess to public records relating to matters
or pubic concern a violation of the I'M
doubted right of citizens in a free coun-
try to learn from official sources how
faithfully the public servants they pay
administer the laws. The force of the
reason assigned for this refused is gravely
impaired by the fact that similar infor-
nation had been previously furnished to
the league by the department under the
present secretary of the treasury. This
refusal XpOses to reasonable SUSPICION
the good faith of the officials responsible
for it and suggests the existence of abuses
which the records withheld from inspec-
ton might disclose and we demand that
this unworthy policy of eoncealment and
secrecy be abandoned"
The secretary then gave a review of
the conversation between President Nc
kinley and a committee from the league
sent to him concerning the order of May
80. Mr.. Mckinley was asked, t he secre-
tary said, if he would not comply with a
request of this kind and replied as fol-
lows: 1T is my intention to include a
good many more than those excluded"
up to the present time roadditions have
been made, which is a matter Of great
surprise to the league" reported the sec
rotary. Later another letter was ad-
dressed to the president calling his atten-
ton to the promise which he had made
the committee on a former occasion"
The evening session was taken up en-
tirely with the annual address Of Presi-
dent Carl Schurz. The vigorous denun-
of the attitude of President Nc
Kinley against civil service reform was
.applauded enthusiastically by the large
audience present.
Mr.. Schurz was particularly severe in
his criticism of the presidents civil ser
vice order of last May, which he termed
a triumph for spoils politicians.
