OFFICERS RANK THE SAME.

Return of Volunteers Won't Change tho
Status of Generals In Philippines.
WASHINGTON, July Sit was said at
the war department that the return of
the volunteer organizations from the
Philippines would have no effect on the
rank of the volunteer general officers on
duty there. The numter of general
officers depended not on the particular
organizations in the service, but on the
total number of men. The law pro-
vided for one major general to every
$4,000 mel. There would be in the
Joint establishment, when the present
recruiting arrangements are established,
about $4,000 men. There was now
three major generals in the regular es.
tahlishment, Miles, Merritt and Brooke;
in the volunteers, Shafter, Otis, Law
ton and Macarthur. This arrangement
will probably stand. as there is a frac-
ton over the quota of men for six major
generals.
There were on duty in the Philippines
the following brigadiers in the order of
seniority named: Bates, Young,
Schwan. Hall, Wheaton, Grant.
Hughes and Ovenshine. 1t was under
stood that these would retain their
commands. 1t was not believed the in
crease in the joint establishment would
necessitate the appointment of any more
brigadier generals, there being already
{. surplus III Cuba and elsewhere who
had been cared for under the provision
of the six months volunteer law.

With Filipinos.

SAN FRANcIsco, July 5.-The steamer

SINGAPORE, July 5.-Mr. Spencer
Pratt, United States consul, has taken
legal action to disprove the alleged in-
terview, in which he was said to have
promised ;ilc Philippine leaders indie
pendence if they would help the United
States against Spain. The story is pub
lished in most circumstantiaI and de-
tailed form in the new edition of John
Foreman $ book on the Philippines.
Consul Pratt has sued the publishers
in Singapore for libel Cd the ground
that the story of the Aguinaldo-P Pratt
interview is false and is moreover in
jurious.
The supreme court of the Straits Set
Elements has granted an injunction
against the publishers. 'Messrs. Kelly
and Walsh, limited.
The court finds that the story of the
interview is false and ibelous and the
further publishing thereof is prohibited
by order of the court.
This injunction is valid throughout
the Straits Settlements. Further pro-
ceedings of formal nature will be re-
uuired to extend it to all British ter
ritory.
Consul Pratt, ATTENDS to carry his
suits to the United States. He will
bring action against number of papers
of the United States and will endeavor
to show that the kilograms published
in the same were the output of an anti
American bureau existing in Hongkong,
which has done much toward injuring
the good name of the consular service in
the Orient.

Visited Him.

RENNEs, France, July 5.-The lnhabl-
tants generally continued almost indif-
ferent to the presence of Dreyfus.
Barely half dozen persons witnessed
the visits of counsel and Madame Drey-
Gus to the prison. The town, however,
was full of detectives, who scrutinized
all strangers, and few gendarmes pa
trolled before the residence of Madame
Dreyfus. They approached and watched
everyone stopping before the gate lead
ing to the courtyard of the mansion.
Matthew Dreyfus paid his first visit
to his brother, the interview lasting
about half an hour. The brothers threw
themselves into each others arms. Mat.
thew said he found his brother aged
and broken in health, but not the phys
tic;.l wreck he feared. In spite OF his
sufferings, Dreyfus' eyes was seemingly
as bright and his mind as clear and his
intelligence as keen as when he was oc-
cupied with his duties on. the general
staff. He was troubled with insomnia
during the voyage, but has now recov-
cred and. Monday night he had q re-
