of Colorado.

Washington, Aug SO-The war de-
partment has made public the follow
ing correspondence between the COVER
nor of Colorado and Secretary Root:
Denver, Col, Aug. "a 1899.
Hon. Elihu Root, Secretary of War,
Washington.
Dear Sir:-I visited San Francisco
last week to be present upon the ar
rival of the Colorado volunteers from
Manila, and take pleasure in testify
ing to the efficiency, which, in my judg-
ment, characterized the action of the
department OF Pacific under General
Shafter on the occasion mentioned. The
transport was promptly locked and the
troops were promptly disembarked: ev-
cry facility for immediate movement
to the Preside was furnished and a
personal inspection of their tents and
quarters convinced me that no sanitary
precautiOn had been neglected in the
preparation which been made for their
enforced detention as preliminary to
their discharge.
I have taken the liberty to impose
this opinion upon your valuable time,
because I have heard various adverse
criticisms of Gen Skaters manage
Ihent in similar cases and from my per-
sonal observation could conceive no
legitimate ground for them
I have the honor to be, your most
Obedient servant.

Salute to Dewey.

San Francisco, Aug. 3O.-Two ten
ton guns will leave Mare Island today
for Vermont where they will boom a
salute from the hills surrounding Ad-
>miraI Dewey's native town of Mont
pelier when the flagship is sighted off
Sandy Hook.
Gov. z. c. Smith of Vermont applied
to the authorities at Washington for
two heavy guns for use in the salute to
be fired in Dewey's honor. The depart
ment informed the governor that the
only guns which could be used were at
the Mare Island navy yard in Cali
fornfa and that no funds avail
able for their transportation were at
hand. Give me an order and I will
stand the expense said the governor
and the big guns will be on hand to
salute Dewey.

Manila, April 4.-Gen Macarthur re-
conuoitred in force this morning with the
Montana regiment, the Fourth Cavalry
and two guns of the light artillery, as far
as the river north of Malolos.
The reconnaissance developed the fact
that there are fully 1000 rebels, armed
with Mauser rifles, preparing for defense.
Shots were exchanged, and two members
Of the Montana regiment were wounded,
but there was no engagement.
Later in the day Gen. Macarthur moved
northward, as the water supply of Malolos
is inadequate.
The belief is spreading among the resi-
dents here that the effect of the capture
of Malolos, the former rebel capital, fol-
lowed by the proclamation of the United
States Philippine commission, will be to
convince the natives that Aguinaldo's bub~
BILE has burst.
Proclamation Discussed.
DR.. Schurman, president of the commits
sion, said: The Filipinos have been ask
ing increasingly, What do you propose
TO do for us? The proclamation answers
the question and it should satisfy them"
Col. Charles DENLY, member of the COM
MISSION ana forfner minister 10 China,
remarked: 1T is the most important
proclamation since tile Declaration of In
dependence. Spanish, Tagalo and English
versions have, been printed, and it is pro-
posed to circulate them about Malolos and
at all the seaports. They will be sent TO
the lake towns by gunboats."
