EDMUNDS ON FILIPINOS.

The Ex-senator Wants Them to Have
Independence.
+ NEW YORK, Nov. lex Senator
George F. Edmunds, in an interview at
Philadelphia today, which the World
publishes, gave an expression of opin-
ion as to what action ought to be taken
by Congress regarding the Philippines
He said:
Il think that inasmuch as the Senate
of the United States ratified the treaty
with Spain and thereby the United
States became the sovereign over the
Philippine Islands, the situation must
be dealt with as it is, and not as we
might wish it should be-
Spain at the time of the treaty was,
in the international sense, the sover-
eign of those islands, for the rebe lion,
however, strong and however good its
prospects of success might nave been,
had not reached that stage of success
which had induced the recognition of
the Powers of even a state of belig-
erency, so far as l know. The conse-
quence is that the United States is res
pOnSible as a sovereign to all other ma
lions for the security of their subjects
and in respect to all international
rights.
Il think the short question for Con-
greSs and people of the United States
is whether the principles upon which
our Government was founded and the
principles upon which, three-fOurths of
a century ago, we recognized and as
sisted in setting up the Central and
South American Republics are still true
ones and ought 10 be followed. I think
it a mistake to suppose that these prin-
cipleS and policies are out of dare"
The Senator believes the United
States should aid the Filipinos to indie
pendence.

SUNDAY RACING IN HAVANA.
Havana Papers Object to American
Press Criticism.

| HAVANA, Nov. 1.-THE local news
papers object to the criticisms made
| by some American journals upon Sun
| day racing in Havana. They point out
| that, after mass on Sunday, all Latin
countries take holiday, and assert that,
IL the Americans wish the Cubans to
popularize some sport as a substitute
fer bull fighting, Sundays must be de
voted to il, because Saints day are
kept strictly for religious observances
and at other times there is no great
number of Cubans wealthy enough to
fOrsake business for the sake of
amusement.
The Discussion, which urges the
high American officers in the island to
continue TO patroniZe a noble sport"
says:
when 1000 people brave The pros
poets of rain such as was before us
ON last racing day, among them the
very best people of Havana, their
course is sufficient proof that the auti-
tude of the American officers is heartily
Endorsed by our representative soci-
ety."
The Patria proposes that ten of the
leading municipalities, should each give
General Gomez $50 month, as his
health is poor and he is in need of
funds. The Cuban newspapers are urg-
ed TO support the proposal which is
small return indeed for the services
of the liberator of Cuba"

citation yesterday regret was expressed

i ing feature Of the annual report Of As.
s!stant Secretary Allen to Secretary
Long relative TO the naval militia is
his strong Endorsement Of the plan for
/ the organization Of a national naval
1 reserve. He points out that the exper-
fence OF the past year has suggested
! certain changes in the original plan for
! this organization as contained in the
J bill submitted TO the last session OF
! Congress and he therefore urges that
! it be again pushed with the amend
ments prepared by Lieutenant Com
mander W. H. II. Switzerland, who
was for a part of the year in direct
charge Of the naval militia bureau OF
the navy department. In substance.
| THAT officer says that as the personnel
act has made the term Of service of en-
listed men in the navy four years. the
same period should be fixed for the en-
rollment in the naval reserve and that
an officer should be promoted in war
time with the regular officer with
whom he holds the same date of COM
mission. 1t is also recommended that
steps be taken for the organization of
a permanent coast signal system from
the retired list of the navy. and the
employees Of the light house and life
saving service. There are several
thousand Of these men and with
small appropriation and an annual drill
for a few days each year they would
be competent, the report says. to take
up their duties Immediately upon the
outbreak of war With a retired naval
officer in charge of each light house
district, and an officer in charge at the
navy department and the necessary
paraphernalia at the nearest navy yard
ready for use. this necessary adjunct
of war could be put in working order

Entitled to the Extra Paw

Acting Controller L. a. Mitchell has rem
dered a decision upon the following state
ment of facts: Certain enlisted men of
the LIST and I'd Georgia. after having been
furloughed for one month under general
orders 100 of 1SsS were transferred to the
sd Georgia, and served with that regiment
In Cuba. That regiment is now about to
be mustered out. and the Secretary of War
has raised the question whether these men
should receive two months extra pay for
services rendered outside of the United
states, or should they receive one mont n =
extra pay, in addition to the one mont h s
furlough already enjoyed. or whether they
should receive any additional benefit what
ever. The acting controller holds that the
men were not mustered out as contem-
plated in order 100 but were transferred to
another regiment and held to serve therein
until mustered out and discharged and
therefore, they must be regarded as taken
out of the provisions of order No. 100, and
their rights to extra pay under the act of
January II, 1889, must be determined in
the same manner as II they had not had
the furlough. They are entitled to the two
months extra pay

Site for National Prison.

Attorney General Griggs has returned

anime the sites offered by the city for the
new national prison, for which Congress
appropriated $615,0O The choice lies be-
tween what are known as the Georgia Cen
trail and Dickey sites. The latter Is con-
sidered the most desirable, but it is the
more expensive. and the Attorney General
does not feel like saddling the city of At
lanta with too much expense. He has writ
ten to the owners of the Dickey site asking
for specific proposition, and II it is not
satisfactory the Georgia Central site will
be selected.
