THE REASON WHY
Tho Bell Telephone Company is Repairing
the City Fire Alarm system.

~ great many people have been Won
dering in the past few days why it IS
that the Southern Bell Telephone
Company is putting in the new system.
OF fire alarm boxes in this city. ana
no one seemed to know exactly why
it was.
Yesterday afternoon Chief w. K.
Stow, of the fire department. made the
situation clear to a representative Of
the Daily Press. The Bell people are
dong the work because they had virtu-
ally ruined the old system and might
&c compelled to replace it,
IN putting UP new telephone wires all
over the city the company had cut the
ire alarm wires until in many places
they We're almost useless. The whole,
system was out of order and the trou-
Die was traced to the wiring Of the Bell
people.
Chief Stow at once wrote a communi
cation to the Board Of Fire Commits
sloners on the subject explaining the
SITUATION and giving the cause Of the
trouble. His report was presented to
meeting = -
The matter was at once taken up by
eIlc Board and the attention of Super
fntendent Hunt Chipley. Of the tele-
l'aone company, was called to the mat
yer: Mr. Chipley saw that his company
had damaged the wires Of the fire
alarn system and at once ordered
mem repaired at the expense of his
company, the 'worls~to be done under
the supervision of Chief Stowe.

Hongkoag. March 19.-The following
general view of the situation is from 4
correspondent OF the Associated t'rcss
at Manila, and has evidently not been
subjected to censorship:
1.-THE most remarkable feature of the
situation is the inability of the Amerl-
cans and residents to estimate the
numbers, resources and plans OF the
Filipinos Prominent generals think
that two or three disastrous battles
will break their spirit and make them
sue for terms. \ majority of the
English and other residents are of the
opinion that the determination of the
Tagalos is the only guarantee OF peace,
that they can easily be whipped IT
they give battle, but that they Will
dodge a meeting with the Americans
in force. Some people think that they
will risk battles at Malabon and Par
araque, where they are strongly IN
trenched. and that if they are de-
feated they will resume bushwhack-
ing as long as any of them are left

Chicago, March 17.-Tilr last witness
called before the army beef conrt of i'll
quily yesterday proved to be sensa
tional. He was an officer of the regu-
lar army. First Lieut. L. NJ. Davis, of
the First cavalry, called at the request
Of Maj. Lee. the representative Of Gen.
Miles. Lieut.. Davis testified that in
Cuba one-half the canned roast beef
issued to the soldiers was thrown
away because it was unfit to eat. He
testified that he had opened one can
himself and found maggots in it. Maj.
Lee asked: How did the maggots get
in there?'
''They We're canned in there" tie
witness replied.
Col. Davis-Are you not aware tina!

no animal life could survive in it?

Washington. March 19.-Therc was
much reticence shown at the war de-
partment yesterday to discuss a cable
dispatch from Gen. Otis. which was
regarded as most important 10y those
who read it as indicating that hostili-
ties might cease very suddenly in the
Philippines and Il collapse Of the i'll
surrection come at any time.
The reasons for the belief Of Gen.
Otis that a. collapse might come at
any hour was not stated. but his as
sumption was based on the favorable
reports he had received from various
sources that the Filipinos We're tired
Of the war and Aguinaldo'S leader
ship. 1t is believed at the war de-
partment that the method in which
the Americans have conducted the
fighting has done much to convince
the t'ilipinos OF the uselcssness OF
trying to drive out the United States
forces. The fighting has been of DIFF
ferent character from that to which
they We're accustomed when the Span
i:rds We're in possession of Manila.
Gen. Otis cable caused a great deal
of qualification. 1t was sent to the
president at Thomasville, Ga. The
preparations that have been under
way to send further troops and sup
plies to the Philippines have not been
curtailed, however. The light batter
les which Gen. Otis requested will be
sent, as they may be useful in future
opera lions and in case of disturbances
in distant parts Of the island.
