He Looks to Congress.

New York. Oct. 25.-Professor Jacob c.
Schurman. president OF Cornell Univer-
sity. and president Of the United States
Philippine commission, was the guest of
honor at a dinner given by the Aldine
association last night. Among the other
invited guests We're General Francis v.
Greene, Captain Taylor, Captain Chad
wick, II. Blanchard Dominick and j. l..
Stevens.
In the course of his rema rks, President
Schurman said: Under the laws of ma
tions, the United States has unimpeach-
able sovereignty over the Philippine
islands. This involves responsibility for
their government Now. the primary
ends Of government are, first. peace and
order; secondly, security of life and
property: thirdly, justice and equal
rights. and when those are assured,
fouthly, liberty and self-government. 1t
is our high task to realize these ends in
the Philippines.
The peoples of the archipelago cam
not today achieve them unaided. and our
tutelage at least for some time. is the
one thing that can save the Filipinos
from despotism and anarchy. and their
islands from divisions among the Euro
pean powers, thus destroying forever the
hope of free and self-governing Fill
pino nationality, which American pro-
lection and guardianship would inevit-
ably tend to develop.
when we bear in mind that the Fill
pinos. since the signing of the treaty OF
Paris. have been without political status
or civil rights, it would seem both Just
and polite for congress to declare au-
thoritatively what rights and privileges
the Fiiipinos are to enjoy under Ameri-
can sovereignty

Stolen Mail Pouch Found.

Westerly. r. l.. Oct. 25.--A mail pouch
en- route from New York to Westerly
and containing between 500 and 600 let
ters, in many Of which We're checks and
money, was stolen from the railroad sta
tion here Tuesday morning. 1t was at
first supposed that the pouch had mis-
carried.
Superintendent Ryan OF the railway
mail service at Boston was notified, and
an investigation was at once set on foot.
This morning Joseph Scott notified POST
master Clancy that the pouch had been
stolen by Alfred H. Wills Of this town,
and the latter was placed under arrest,
while Scott and his sister, Julia Scott.
were also held.
When confronted with the charge,
Wills made confession. and went with
Officer Brown into the woods where the
bag had been concealed. The bag had
been cut open. and all the letters torn
open and rifled Of their valuable con-
tents. The sum Of $24 .25 was found upon
Wills person. This had evidently been
taken from the letters, but none Of the
checks supposed to be in the envelopes
We're recovered, having probably been
burned.
Scott was only discharged from state
prison two weeks ago, having been there
for the theft of a boat, in which his
sister and Wills took part the two lat
ter turning states evidence.
Wills now says that Scott planned the
theft of the pouch, and took it from an
unguarded mail cart at night, and that
he (Wills) helped carry it away. 1t is
the general belief that Scott betrayed
Wills to be revenged for the formers S
action in the boat case.

with Aguinaldo. He affirms the belief
that had Aguinaldo remained true to the
United States there would have been no

Manila. and that Aguinaldo to-day would
have prominent part in the form of

BIG MENACING SQUADRON
Is Being Formed 50 That If Anything
Occurs There Will be No Delay
in Getting Reserve Ships and Men
Into Action.

London. Oct. 25.-The extent Of Brit
ish preparations revealed by to-days in
formation caused strong reiteration of
rumOrs of serious foreign compica tons
It is now said that Rear Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford will command the
! mediterranean squadron and details Of
the activity at the dock yards and naval
stations are coming in hot and fast
The Associated Press learns. however,
that whether or not Great Britain seri-
ously fears Russian or French agres-
zion. the naval prepara tions have been
under consideration for several months
and ii was the admiralty's intention to
put them in force soon as war was de-
clared. deeming it necessary to increase
the active strength Of the navy in order
to insure large fleet of transports
against every possible contingency.
Whether later developments have
, transformed the admraltys precau-
naval demonstration necessitated by
European hostility is the question of the
| hour and it is as much mystery to
many high naval officers as to the pub
/ lie.
| The exact condition of affairs consists
of ordering the naval reserves to be in
readiness to join their ships at "a hours
notice while all the cruisers of the re-
serve class have been ordered to be
ready to sail in the same time limit
These vessels, although at the dock
yards. are never out of commission and
are always supposed to be ready for i'm
! mediate manning. A doZeh cruisers
ranging from 5000 to II 900 tons are now
! only waiting the word to embark crews
| In addition to those preparations work
on the uncompleted vessels is being hur-
ried day and night. The special atten-
ton being paid to the cruisers is taken
by many naval authorities to indicate
! that Great Britain intends to form "a
menacing flying squadron. In the term
'menacing'' ii is meant the force at sea
is ample to convey the troops and is
capable of preventing any intercourse
in South African waters.
While the British officials do not CON
! ceal their knowledge Of German, French
and Russian antas sonism and their irri-
! tation thereat. they do not give the
slightest hint that European ostility
/ will crystalize into any overt act. But
! the belief that Great Britain is on the
verge of crisis, or even conflict for
greater than that in the. ransvaal, has
many supporters, though the lack of ali
official confirmation favors the conserva-
! tive views that the remarkable military
and naval activity is due to a desire to
take thorough precautions, which. though
ominous, have at present no special bear
ing upon Great Britain's European rea-
tions.
Advces from the continent streng thens
/ this view For instance, the Fremden-
| blatt of Vienna today says:
| Nothing points to eventuality of in
| tervention CT Europe in favor of the
Beers
| The paper adds that Germany espe-
! cially has resolved mot to depart from
her attitude of neutrality"

eight battleships and two cruisers of the
Channel squadron from the North Of

ostensibly to Gibraltar but it is thought
possible the fleets destination is a Span

have taken out bills of health from the

Show That General Whites
Campaign Has Not Been
the Success Expected.
ALL THE NEWS CENSORED
But It IS Now Stated the Troops in
the Field Aiding the Transvaal
Will Number at Least One Hundred
Thousand Men.

Field Marshal Lord Wolseley has appar-
emily now been convicted of "doctoring''
the official reports from the front and
there is strenuous demand on all sides
for a reversion to the earlier practice,
when reports of White, the British COM
mander in Natal, We're given out textu-
ally as soon as received.
The commander in chiefs summary
read in the house of commons yesterday,
spoke of General White having fought a
successful action. whereas Whites own
account puts an entirely different COM
pleXion on the situation and reduces the
movement to it's proper proportions and
shows that further exciting intelligence
may be expected from the same quarter
a any moment.
1t is quite evident the war in Natal has
only commenced and that the Beers are
by no means discouraged at losing the
first two battles and many experts are
satisfied General Joubert is even now
close to the heels of the British and that
a decisive action may be fought to- day
or Tomorrow.
The main fact that the British We're
forced to evacuate the Natal triangle

as a conspicuous success and which they
may even emphasize by a proclama ton
annexing northern Natal, is proving an
unpalatable pill to the public whose ap-
petite has been whetted by previous sue
cesses, which had been represented as
being greater than they really We're, as
the determination and gallantry Of the
Beers enabled them to quickly reorganiZe
and achieve the desired objects by otheG
methods.
Later estimates of Boer losses at
Eandslaagte give 800 killed. Their cool
ness, bravery and good aim can be juds-
ed from the fact that of II or IS officers
with half a battalion of Gordon High
landers four were killed and l3 were
wounded. while the casualties among
the rank and file We're q per cent during
less than three hours fighting.
The situation in the west is becoming
complica ted The Boer proclamation of
annexation and claims of victory at
Glencoe are likely to induce the Dutch
to side with their countrymen already
in the field It is also believed the Dutch
beyond Griquatown are only awaiting
encouragement to declare for the Trans
vaal.
