I'm the philippines.

Washington. July 23.-It Is stated at
the war department that General Otis he q
sent no communication to the depart
nent regarding the organization Of any
provisional governments In the islands or
provinces but It Ia presumed that he may
be doing SO II conditions warrant.
General Otis Is acting under instruc-
tIons from the President dated Decem ber
81, 1925. These Instructions said that the
destruction Of the Spanish fleet followed
by the reduction OF Manila, practically
effected the conquest Of the Philippire o
islands, and suspension Of Spanish sover-
eighty. They directed that the military
governments OF the United States MAIN
tained in Manila may be extended with
all possible despaton to the whole of the
district ceded to the United States by the
treaty OF peace. The military commander
was directed to announce that "ws come
not as Invaders or oonquerors, but as
friends." Those who submitted were to
be promised support and protection, "aIl
others will be brought within the lawful
rule we have assumed with flrmness 81
need be, but without severity as far as
may he p0ssibls.'' -
Suggestions were made as to the poy-
ernment OF the ceded territory and the
rights of property, taxes, etc. This letter
OF the President, together with the in
structious OF Secretary to the Philippines
commission are the basis Of governments
which are TO be established In the Philip
pines.

SCORED GEN. WEYLER.
Exciting scenes in spanish senate Yss-
terday.

Madrid, July 26 The discussion of the
army bill in the Senate today led to an
exciting scene. Genera. Weyler, arguing
against any reduction of the strength of
the army, warned the government that
the present situation made revolution
highly probably, since II had never been
so easy for the army and the people to
make common cause. He himself. he
said, had never thought of heading a
rising, but 1t must be confessed that
revolutions some times cleared the politi-
cal atmosphere and accomplished the
W ork of regeneration.
Senor Dato, minister Of the interior, re-
plying, severely censursd Gen. Weyler,
declaring that general who, with 800, coo
men, had failed 10 suppress the Cuban re-
belhon, had no right to make such
threats and thought any attempt at reyo-
luton, M matter by whom, would be

Manley OF Maine; President Lawrence of
ths Lotus CLUB; Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. who wrote beautiful letter OF
hope and sympathy; Octave Thanet and
Owen Miller, president OF the American
Federation of Musicians.
This is what Mr. Miller wrote from st
Louis to Mrs. Ingersoll:
"On behalf of l5, 000 professional
musicians comprising the American
Federation of Musicians. permit me to
extend our heartfelt and most sincere
sympathy in the irreparabls loss OF the
model husband, father and friend. In
him the musicians of not only this
country but Of all Countries have lost one
whose noble nature srasped the beauties
OF our sublime art, and whose intelligence
gave those inr rressions expressed In words
OF glowing eloquence that Will live as
long as language lasts"
Col. Ingersoll's body will be cremnted
tomorrow. The coffin was sent to Dobb's
Ferry today. but IL remained all day at
the local undertakar's. Il Is a plain.

OPPOSED TO TREATY.
French Depaty Objects to Granting ol

FRANCE DROVE HARD BARGAIN.
Washington. July e6.--A good deal OF
surprise has been caused In official circles
he,e by the unexpected opposition deyei-
opfng in France to the ratification cf
the reciprocity treaty just negotiated by
MIR. Kassun and NJ. Cambon. 1t is not
deemed expediens now 10 make public
the details of the convention but It., can
be stated authoritatively that in the
opinion OF our own officials the French
have driven hard bargain In making
the treaty They have, 1t is said. secured
more advantages than they had any just
reaGcn TO expect at the beginning OF the
negotiations and that success was ulti-
mately obtained is owing to the fact that
the negotiators felt bound to observe
the behest of the President and make a
treaty at all hazards
"a IL Is suspected here that the French
people are not aware OF the actual value
OF the concessions they have obtained,
and there Is reason to believe that when
tae champagne makers learn the amount
or benefit they ale to receive, the orpo-
sition to the contamination OF the treaty
will be at once transferred from France
TO the United States.

ELKINS DEFENDS ALGER.
Says Retiring Secretary Does Not
Deserve Harsh Things Said of Him.

Washington, July Ex-senator Elkins
of West Virginia, who was Secretary OF
War under the Harrison administration,
is in Washington. Discussing Secretary
Ayers retirement from the cabinet,
he.says:
Secretary Alger was secretary OF
war during tho conduct of die most sue
cessful war in the history Of the United
States. He achieved the greatest re,
suits in the shortest possible space Of
time. Its quick and victorious conclu-
sion, while he was at the head of thi:
department is fact that stands most
prominently and cannot be disputed.
.'Of course, there were mistakes.
There are always mistakes, but in this
particular war the mistakes wereinfiuite-
ly small compared with the great results
accomplished.
Secretary Alger,n continued the Sen.
ator, speaking deliberately and with
emphasis, ''has been compelled to en-.
dure n series of undeseryed, not to say
brutal assaults. He did not deserve the
harsh things said of him, but he bore
them bravely, standing manfully under
the abuse which might otherwise have
been thrown at the President. Time
will vindicate him. There will be a re
action In his favor.
II say these things all the more readily
because Secretary Alger and | hrve moi

!. Gen. Ulises Hsureux was O man of
mixed racs and quite young when elected
to the presidency IN 1886. At the time of
bis election the constitution was char ged
allowing him to be his own successor. In
1898 he entered on his second term and
the country under his rule has been for
the most part unusually prosperous and
orderly. What reEolts arose he sue.
eeeded In quslliny and his administration
Is in strong contrast with the turbulent
ones which preceded it. 1t was in 1865
that the Dominicans headed by Jose
Maria Cabrai drove the Spanish troops
out and re-affiriuei the constitution of
1914. with certain changes. Baez was
called back and made president. He was

he signed with President Grant two
treaties, one for the annexation of Santo
Domingo TO the United States, and the
other for the cession OF the bay of
Samana. both subject to the approval of
the people. The failure of this scheme lad
TO another revolution and the banishment
OF Baez. For several years the republic
was In u disordered state and 1t was re-
served TO Heurux to restore order and
he has succeeded in maintaining 1t for
fourteen years In greater measure than
any OF his predecessors.
