compliment Of saying that he believed

JACK AND HIS WILL.

A Special Act of the British Parlia-

Jack has the proud distinction of

for the express purpose of deciding the
way.in which he must make his will,

Jumped together in this matter under
the wills act of 1888 sailors testament
cry documents are made under the
naval wills act of 1865. The most i'm
portant proviso Of this act is that all
wills made by sailors or marines must
be witnessed and attested by the chap
lain or some other officer IL they are
actually made on board ship, and this
is somewhat curious.
If sailor likes to make his will on
shore, any one can witness it for him.
but on board ship the case is different.
Needless to say they almost all to q
man choose the latter course, as they
know that things will be straighter for
bearing an officers signature. If, how
ever, supposing that the vessel was in
action and q man was to be struck
down who had not previously made a
will, If he had TO do so before he died,
even if it were not attested by an Off
Ger, the admiralty has full power to
act on the merits Of the case and to dis
pense with that or'a any other formality
that ii was impossible to comply with.
Another thing--a sailor shares with a
soldier the privilege of when on active
service being the only man who can
dispense with written viii and make
a verbal one.
In former times any one could make
his viii verbally If he so desired
but this, as may be supposed opened
the door TO no end Of fraud and it was
consequently repealed in the 1888 act

AGUINALDO'S BOSS
Merritt and Greene Said He Very Noeh
Feared su East Indian, Pho
DE Pillar.

De Pillar.
NEW YORK. Feb. 7.--General weGley
Merritt in an interview ON the Philip
pine outbreak said in part:
"That the attack ON our lines should
have been made at night is what one
would expect from the teuteage Of the
tlliplnos III war-that of the Spaniards.
"Without doubt the insurgent as
sault on Manila was preconCeIved and
deliberate. That It was planned by
Aguinaldo do not care TO assert; but,
of course, the patent probability is that
it was, since he has lately seemed to be
undisputedly supreme. The blow
which we have been compelled to de-
liver ought now, in my Judgment. to
be vigorously followed mp. II IL is, the
Flip. nos will quickly realize who il
master and sub nit"
General Merritt said the Filipinos at
tribute iorbeaTance aud consideration
to fear or weakness. They respect
nothing except force. He said English
residents at Manila and at Oriental
British ports, at which he stopped on
his way home repeatedly told him 80,
and that their insoleuce would grow
until they were SHOWN that our power
could not be resisted. Then they would
abandon resi- ,tance.
Said he furGher in part: psssa
"Ihe military organization of the
Fihpinos will scarcely. thiuk, survive
this defeat-oertalnly not II we at once
stuke hard again wherever they show
front.
Their ablest soldier is Pho do Pillar,
the East Indian, and yet l dcubt very
much if he has ever in his life read any
OF the books Of the profession. His con-
sequence proceeds rather from his per
sonal quail les as fighter than from
HI ability to direct operations.
There 10 no question in my mind
hat even Agulnaldo stood in awe of
him. IL is even possible that Pio do
Pillar and his faction coerced AguinaldO
into sanctioninR the ASSAULT.
In the latter's communications 20
me he reminded me, in excuse for his
inability to accede, at once TO requests
made, that he hac to consider the
wishes OF his chiefs. He mentioned no
names, bnt 1t was generally understood
among US that he referred principally
TO Pho de Pillar. The latter's influence,
whatever it may be, can be counted on
rs irreconcilably hostile'to us.
81 think we may expect that defeat
at Manila Will have disastrous effect
upon Aguinaldo's authority.
"rhe feebleness OF HIS power having
been made manifest, there is every
reason to suppose that his numerous
rivals, suppressed for the time, will
rise TO dispute his, authority. When
they have come to nothing through fac
tlonal differences and possibly conflicts,
they will be entirely amenable TO our
| guidance and rule, 1 think. They are
really doclle and amiable people, with
out much stern stuff-not pugnacious
and irreconollable as our lndians are."
General Greene said III part:
"Ihey have. one general who is a
man OF DO mean ability as u military
commander His name is Pho de Pillar,
but he is not a Filipino. lie is full
blooded Indian. Aguinaldo showed TO
General Merritt that he (Aguinaldo)
rather stood in awe Of Pillar. 1 met
this man once. He was extremely hos.
tile to the Americans"

Z T essury bureau statistics show that
the colonies, protectorates and depen.

entire people Of the earth. Their total
imports average annually 81, 500, ,O0o. .toJ
Sorth Of goods, and of this vast SUN
about 40 per cent is purchased from the

expenses are met by local revenues; and
the home countries generally have no
advsn age over other lands in import
duties. The British colonies are quite
independent as to trade. Thus the
